11. S. “CAPTURES" HAWAIIAN ISLAND Test Os (J. S. Navy Shows Weakness Os Defense Os The Islands i —— Honolulu. Hawaii, April 28.—(United 1 Press.) —Post. War parleys were hi . session here today. With the Hawaiian islands "captured" by the United States navy opposing the sea and land forces defending them, Admiral Robert E. , Coontz, chief umpire, called fellow officers together in a two-day critique. The judges will decide by just what margin the “blue" attackers gained , the victory and just what is the . benefit of the great war game. The war ended yesterday when the . most formidable armada ever group- ’ ed under the stars and stripes won . the attack upon the island of Oahu. , chief of the Hawaiian group, upon I which Pari Harbor naval base and Honolulu are situated. The victory is taken as proof of , the weakness of the nation’s web of defense at this "cross roads of the Pacific.” An official communique issued by the umpires late last night explained the “blue" victory as follows: "The weight and number of the ,’bllie’ force played a most important part in the struggle, forcing the ‘black’ first line defense back to pre- ! viously prepared positions. Reinforcements failed to repel the attack and the fighting marines dashed through to their objective.” A large force of "blue’’ troops lauded successfully between Wailailua , and Kawaihapai and pressed on into the island. Admiral Coontz and his co-ordinat-ing umpires are considering conflict-

ing claims of "blue” and “black” commanders as to the merits of activities during the day previous to official termination of the "war" at uoon. — —0 County Hospital Notes Frank Aurand. who underwent a 1 ’minor operation this morning on his, right knee, is getting alotyf very nice-, .
