A Friendly Visit

Honolulu, Aug. 22.

Japan’s navy training ship, the four masted “Taisei Maru”, is visiting Haw aiian waters much to the enjoyment of the 150,000 Japanese community.

Uncle Sam, with a touch of that ap parent thoughtlessness which Japan is developing in the Orient, assigned the “Taisei Maru” to Pier 14, the warehouse on which is a skating rink.

The din of the skaters goes on until midnight.

Wisecracked a harbour official, as the ship pulled into the dock: — “The Japanese will learn something be sides seamanship during their 10 days stay alongside the rink.”

The “Taisei Maru” leaves here to-day for a prowl through the mandated islands and Australia’s outlying isles.
