NO KIMONAS
FOR JAP MEN
OF HONOLULU
MONOLITH', Oct. 11!. K. Morol.
consul-general of Japan, has forbid
den his contrymen in Honolulu to wear
klmonas on the streets. To enforce
his order he has had the sheriff sw'ear
in M. Nishigaya. an attache of the con
sulate, as a deputy and it will be the
latter's duty to arrest Japanese men
who appear on the streets in klmonas.
on the charge of wearing improper
clothing.
Those who still cling to the klmona
after the- first warning will he denied
all consular prilvileges, such as per
mission to bring relatives or “picture
brides" here from Japan, according
to Mr Morol. Japanese women will
be allowed to continue wearing kimo
nas in public, as their mode of dress
is not held to be* offensive.
Mr. Moroi explained his order as
being part of a campaign he is wag
ing to induce his people in Honolulu
to adopt American styles.
"I believe that when one is in Rome
one should do as the Romans do" said
Mr. Moroi. “Men who have clung to
the native dress of Japan are apt to
be careless in their manner of wear- j
j ing it. The kfmona as worn by Japan
ese men reminds Europeans and Amer
icans of a nightgown."

WAR RAISES
EFFICIENCY
OF WIRELESS
LON4 K)N. Oct. 12 The efficiency
of wireless telegraphy has been enor
mously Increased during the war. a
semiofficial statement issued by the
Royal Aair Force says. In particular,
great progress has been made in send
ing wireless messages from aircraft.
In lffl4 various difficulties restricted
the use of wireless in conjunction
with airplanes. Most of these have
been overcome and the use of wireless
communications from tin* air has been
of great assistance to tin* allied forces
in all military operations.
Without the assistance of wireless
the use of airplanes could never have
been developed so fully as It is now.
"Artillery observation" by airplane is
among the most profitable of all the
uses of aircraft
Far below in tin* batteries tin* wire
less operators receive the corrections
from the airplanes, till the signal has
come to indicate that the right range
has been found and. later, tin* "cease
fir*-" signal to indicate that destruc
tion has been accomplished.
Tin* extended range of aircraft wire
less leads to its use from airplanes on
long reconnaissance, and tin* operator
in flu* hut on the aerodrome, miles be
hind tin* lines, is tin* first to learn,
perhaps of a new German howitzer
emplacement perhaps of the massing
of troops intended to effect a surprise
a vain hop** thanks to the wireless.
