BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS HE sullen uproar in some quarters of Japan for war with the United States is causing uneasiness in Washington, despite official assurances to the contrary, President Coolidge himself has recognized the element of menace in the situation and has gone out of his way to explain to Japan that our naval maneuvers off Hawaii, scheduled for April, are not aimed at her. # The Osaka Mainichi, one of Nippon’s most. liberal dailies, and usually to be found plugging for peace, states that “the purpose of the maneuvers is doubtless to study how to fight Japan.” Should the fleet proceed from Hawaii to the Philippines, the paper adds, “it may justly be looked on as a bellicose action.” Secretary of State Hughes’ department says our rela- tions with Japan were never better. Nevertheless he broke all precedent officially to welcome the appointment of Tsuneo Matsudiara, new Japanese ambassador to Washington. His only reason was the delicacy of our relations with Japan. In congress and thruout official circles few attempt to conceal their concern over reports that Japan is reor- ganizing her army, navy and air force, Japanese yaval maneuvers were recently held in the Pacific to the southeast of the mainland, where, should 4 Pi Beye S, Mr. and ‘ederal grand jury took | r f cteolties in connection with) 9 ring of -the Pacific Northwest. | —-Photos by Price & Carter, Star Mtaft Photographers | penetrated and | | — wires of Olmsted's o itwo years of effort.” Director Lyle | said Mofiday. “We have concentrated | | on this case for more than nine months past.” Every working part of the al- leged Olmsted organization was spied upon by under-cover agents before the Wenouement whieh came with the sensational raid on the Olmsted home, 3757 Ridgway place, last November, according to “Bill” Whitney, who has been the Nemesis of Olmsted and has per- sonally directed every move in the government's attack upon the organized liquor sales. “Our men have delved into every jbranch of the organization,” Whit ney said A vast amount of data was ob. tained last spring when the telephone ntral office in |the White building were tapped and }s Pauten, the new} rom the o Neither displayed the slightest bit if motion they stood by the his son, Russell Davis, in connec k's desk waiting to sign the] Is the United States Ready for War in Pacific? i] for more than two months every con- Versation going out or coming in j was overheard.
