HONOLULU. T. H.. March II. 1904
There Is great surprise In Honolulu at
the Indifference which has developed at
washington in the matter of military and
naval plans for Hawaii. The federal gov
eminent spent several hundred thousand
dollars securing valuable lands at Pearl
Harbor for n naval station. pressing
lengthy litigation to a close and in drag
ging the channel entrance to Pearl harbor,
ana IL secured reports and surveys from
several army boards as to sites for mill
tary camps and land Notifications. Then
the whole natter was dropped, and the ut
most Indifference appears to be the rule
now Meanwhile Hawaii is defenseless.
Since the United States acquired Pearl
harbor. during Cleveland's first admins
the strongest expert opinions as to the
great Importance Of the islands from a
strategic point of view. Up to within a
few months there has been q long success
sion or army and navy experts yoicing the
same idea-that Hawaii was the key" to
the situation. Yet the islands are utterly
unprotected today. If Honolulu Is of any
value and war should break out in which
the United States were involved, a fleet
unasslsted from on shore, would have to
defend Hawaii.
Not One Good Shore Gun.
There is not a gun on shore on the Island
of Oahu of any strength worth considering
In such matter. The federal government
keeps handful of soldiers stationed In
Honolulu, and the Hawaiian National
Guard has such strength as may be ex-
pected Of q militia organization, and that
is all. A hostile fleet could take the is
lands without firing gun. unless there
was fleet for defense, and this would
mean Withdrawing warshfps from other
points.
There are no considerable coal or other
supplies kept In Hawaii If the islands are

WOmen's New

1t has commonly been supposed
that low shoe did not cost as much
to make as high boot. There is,
however, only a little material saved
at the top, and the custom has here
tofore been to cheaper the low shoe
in order to truckle to the popular
fancy that low shoe should cost
less.
Quality is a standard with us
and we never sacrifice quality to
lessen the price of an article, never
theless our prices are reasonable,
considering the high standard of
quality.
