Wanhinirton. March .11, —PruHtrated In their pprnlwlent effort to ouxt. the AmorlcariH from the poMioflxion ot Rus¬ sian iBli.nd, tho mout powerful wlrele.i8 fftatlon In the Orient, the JnpBneHe have at lant de«palr<-d and have undertaken the construction of a powerful ulatlon m Japan proper, acGording fo offlcial adviceH reaching Waj^hinfrton.
Japanese n.avai pnjrlneer« have beRim the ere<rtlon of a Htation at OHhlma, In NagaHkl I'refecture, nome .seven hun¬ dred milen «ovith by .-^^ist of lhe Ameri. cnn sUitJon nt Vladlvontok. When com¬ pleted It will be the "Arlington' of Ja- p«in and will be capable of communicit- jnK with all partH of the world. •
Hack of Japan'B decialon to hull(J this hew Htiition i.s a record of .several yearK HtrenuouH and futile effort to serure poxeftHloo of the Ru.sntan iHland wii»- le««, which l8 now held ami operated by u few American naval offlcer.H and Home thirty-flve men jccruitcd from the A«latlc fleet.
The seizure and operation ,-)f the plant by Amf>rlcan naval forces, despite Ja¬ panese protests, has been a source of constant irritation to the Jnpana.se ocru- patlonfti troops in Vladivostok. Much of the trouble between thc .I.npanese and Americans in the,"" Vlailivistok di.s¬ trict could be traced back to the Ameri¬ can .seizure of thin wirele.s.s stat'oa. ac¬ cording to naval offlcer.s. The ill fWinB Ihat admittedly does exi.st was mani- fcstcd nol long Hijice in the shootins lo death of l..leutcnant Williani H. Ijinffdon, by a .lapanese sentry.
The fact that American naval forces occupy and operate this powerful stn- llon Js but little known outside offlcial circles, J.atian has lonj? coveted it, ac- cordinB to Americin naval offlcers, but never had a suffleiently Kood opportun¬ ity to take possession. * •
When the ill-fated Kerensky Oovern¬ ment capitulated, 'the ,situatfon of the small Ru.sslan garri.son at the .station became untenable, and the Japanese wore preparinj; to move In. The Im¬ portance of the station to .Tapan could hardly be over empha.sized. It i.s not notly the mo.st powerful station in fhe Orient, but it lies only ten miles from Vladivostok proper, which Japanese ti'oops hnd a few Americans were then occupyinjj.
While the .Iapane.se were laylnp plans to .seize file .station, the Americm.s moved in quietly and took po.sse.ssion. Whcthcrihe commander of the Ameri¬ can force.s acted on orders from Wash- lUKton or on his own initiative has nev¬ er been divulped. In all evenlri the Jap- . anc.se were furious whea tiioy. found 'the Americans in possession, accordinff , to naval offlcers.
The Japanese offici.al.s virtually de¬ manded that the Americans vacate .and Rive them possession. Tho Amei-ic.an« refu.sed ,nnd have held the st.ation ever ..since In the face of per.si.sfent efforts to oust" them. The refu.sal of the Ameri¬ cans to get out Is understood to account in no small measure for the .stiff-necked attitllde which .lapan has ii;>aintaine<i in
the controversy orer the I**and of. Vap j snd the Paclflc caWen. |
The RuMitan Inland station really be- lonifii to Runala, anjl It la expected by American naval ofllcers that It will t>el returned to Russia "aa soon as we can i flnd out who Russia is," as described hy one naval oflBcer. The Americans, j it was liald, are ready to turn over thei station to any responsible Russian Gov. j ernment, but until that responsible government becomes apparent, thei Americans ai^e .(roinfc to continue to; occupy and operate the station..'
At all events, it has been determined I iiiai lhe station will hot be delivered 1 to Japan. j

The production of nearly $12,000! worth of Hood products m one year Is | the very creditable record of the 747 | memliers of the Hoys' and Oirls' AKri- j cultural Clubs on the little Island ofj Ouam durinff the last twelve months. The record Is all thc more remarkable when It is known that clubs on the Is¬ land were organized only about eighteen months ajfo. Kach Iwy or girl who' bocomes Ji ciub meinber is required to grow a cerlain crop, or raise certain t animals, accordins: to Instructions given! by thc Ouam Agricultui'al Experiment I ,Stafion in cooperation wilh tho Depart. I ment of Education, Six lines of work] are taken up, the production o^ corn, i bean.s, taro, copra, pigs, and poultry, | and because of the \v.am» climate each I year i.s divided into two .sea.sons to cor- respond with the iKiriods ot =crop. pro¬ duction.
According to .a report received by the United Htates Department of Agricul¬ ture the enrollment of 747 boys and girls in club work on the island durinjj la.st sea.son represents .an increase of 202 members over that of the previous sea¬ .son. Of this number 662, or 89.9 per cent of the enrollment, (;ompleted their work and made reports. The.se 662 hoys and girls grew 863.5 bushels of corn, r>,,'ir.7 pounds of bean.s, and 18,762 pounds of taro. They cared ¦ for 740 cocoanut trees and made .I.IIH pounds of copra. In the pig and poultry clubs they raised 204 pigs and 3916 chickens. Tlie total value of the.se products was $8,296.07, which, taken with the $;(,.'il3.G3 produce<l during the previous season r;iake8 a total of $11,809.70 for the year. The club members made ISol exiiibits at the di.strict fairs last sea.son.
Thc club work Js not only beneflting fhe boys and girl.s who take it up with enthusiasm, but it is having a inaiked effect in inducing the aduits, who are or¬ dinarily .slow to adopt new ide.-is. to im¬ prove their primitive i>rac1ice.s.
Mlne<^ila. March :H».—Tht-re wer^ 240 applicants here today for examination and tests tut chauffeur and operator of autntnohlleH.
The ears iirxjii the f'ouit House en- vitons for more than lw<> miles and thi amount of money represented in the cars was a staggering sum. Al¬ most every kind of car from the well known and T«>I»ular make io the higher priced and not-sofrequently-seen car was in -the line.
Jfihn J. ("urrnn. rhief investigator in tbe state autoinoliile bureau, was in ('¦harge of tht demonstrations and hc said that greater care was l¥*tng used than ever liefore in testing out the driving ability of the applicant for a license. Only those were passed who were able to demonstrate their ability to handle a car iti a way that would not contribute to accidents.
W timely word of Wiirning has come from Secretary of State .l<jhn J. Lyons. addressed particularly to tho.sc who are l>econiing chauffeurs and oiK'rators this si)jlng, yet fully as applicable I" the driver who already has his IkenHC. In brief, .Mr. Lyons asl<s all drivers to exercise a greater degree of care, call¬ ing attention to the fact that the in¬ crease in automobiles brings altout a corresponding increase In the hazards of the streets and highways.
"Every chaffeur iind op(>ralor must assume a greater,^ individual fesponsi- blUty. Kight now is the time ttt Htart". said Mr. Lyons. "If yfui are already a chauffeur or operator make up ynur ininch that your driving this yeai- will Ix! an example of carefulness to others. Don't take chances. If you are seek¬ ing a chaffeur's or operator's license, know your car and know thi- law he- fiire you present yourself before an examiner."
Kre,-i)«,i(, Manh 3!.—(Teoige Karle Hatih and his bride (D«ra It^gu-Ue Kaweettl were given a royal Sendolf ut the iH'RinnIng «rf, tbeir honeymoon trip, Monduy night. A iwrty of six follfiwed them *fo the station and then to the clfy. Thc journey was iiidepil a pleasant one. Slmwers of confetti tell upon thei^ shoulders while an old cow-l>ell j>*uled foith the news to th<' passengers at each station, nnd the party ralle.l tbf Jilt'-ntlon of the n»'Weoiners to tlie pair. Even the conductor help¬ ed, lenrlms: a lantern to Ifgtheii up th'' dark corn.-r they had selected.
Across the wide expanse of Pennsyl- vanlH station marched the prfH-ession, amid the ringing of the bell. It was not until Mr. wnd Mrs. Hatch were .safely sfcowXd away in a t'axi, that the bridal iiarfy left them to their bliss. . An Inler.sting part of the .send-off was that it afforded Mr. and Mrs. (i. Eilwin Heming. members of the party an opportunity to retaliate. Not very many months ago, the present bride and grooTji, sent a telegram to Ihe hotel where Mr. and Mrs. (',. lOihviii Homing wero honeymooning, calliiu: attention to the arrival of the newly wedded couple.
Hut now all accounts are square.
The o'thers in the party were: Ward Hyer, Wesley Devlin, Miss Olive Faw¬ cett. sister of the bride, and .Vorniaii . Hoinasen of Ohio.
