UNITED STATES NAVY TO TRY TO "TAKE" HAWAII BY ROBERT T. SMALL, (Copyright, 1925, by The Bee.) WASHINGTON, D. Feb. of the protests voiced in the Japanese press and the wide discussions which have taken place in ofcircles, the American naval maneuvers of the coming spring, us: carried out in a routine hum drum sort of way, have attracted the attention of the entire world. They have caused inquiries to be made in the congress and in the diplomatic corps, and even the president of the United States has found it expedient to refer to the planned operations of the American fleet as carrying no suggestion or thought which might cause offense or uneasiness to any friendly power.

The story or "plot" of the maneuvers is easily told. The American fleet is going to try to "take" the Hawaiian Islands and is sailing out of San Francisco the 15th of April on that "warlike" mission. The islands are to be defended by the home garrisons of army and navy forces. And, believe it or not, airplanes are to be used in large numbers both by attacking and defending units. This ought oplease General Mitchell and all the air advocates in and out of congress.

Neither the navy nor the army would think of planning any sort of maneuvers in these days and times without an adequate air force. As a matter of fact the army bitterly complained in the last combined maneuvers in and about the Panama Canal that the navy had used practi cally nothing but airplanes and the soldiers who had been lying "in the bush' waiting for the invading marines blue jackets, had all their plans and purposes shot completely to pieces. This incident ough: again to satisfy those who feel the air is being slightled by the men behind the naval guns. But in the coming maneuvers the heavy work is to be done as usual by the battleships.

POINTS OUT DIFFICULTIES (By The Associated Press) CAVE CITY, Feb. of the greatest difficulties confronting experienced engineers in the Sand Cave rescue shaft, to determine closely the direition from the shaft where Floyd Collins lies imprisoned, is being solved. Shouts between Sand' Cave tunnel and the shaft form the chief guide for the engineers, because it has been impossible to plot very accurately the corkscrew turns in Sand Cave and the estimates of distance between Flowd and the cavein plug in his tunnel vary. The other great difficulty, and danger, too.

is the instability of the almost liquid mud encountered at 55 feet. In digging the sloping lateral tunnel, the mudt was too soft to support the big limestone boulders encountered and many coveins occured before the roof and walls were braced securely, Looking toward Sand Cove's mouth up the little ravine, facing almost orth, the shaft is about 15 feet in front of the cave. Almost in the middle of the intervening space is the 70 foot drill hole which indicated a nine foot cavern at that depth. The 45 degree slopping lateral now being opened toward this covern. slants slightly to the northwest, but itself twists somewhat, because engineers decided to go around the largest boulders Instead of removing them.

Today's first official bulletin said that the lateral had been pushed 12 feet toward the cavern and Collins. DOG TEAM REACHES NOME (By The Associated Press.) the Alaska, Sunday. Feb. 15. Ed Rohn and his dogs arrived at noon today in a blizzard.

The Crydocks must not be damaged and all the other naval works must be maintained. The point stressed by the navy in connection with the forthcoming simulated "war" moves in the peaceful Pacific is that all of the present plans were made and announced three years ago.
