Pacific. Just as strong as the one in the
Atlantic" said Hon. r. D. Cole. OF Find
lay. Ohio. Representative in Congress Of
the Eighth Ohio district. at the Arlington
last night. Mr.. Cole is accompanied bv
his wife. and intends TO make the Airing
ton his home this winter. Mr. Cole only
recently entered the state OF matrimonv.
having been married last Friday.
"A Congressional party Of about twenty
four, Of which 1 was a member. made a
trip 70 the Sandwich Islands last summer
and remained a month on the island
said Mr.. Cole. I'VE Travelled a good deal
and saw and heard most everything that
was worth while. We all came 10 the
conclusion that the island should be
strongly fortified, holling as IT does the
strategic key 70 the Pacific as well as 10
the United States. More than fortifcs-
IONS. there should be sSrong force OF
the army stationed there for the protec-
| ton Of the islands should such become a
necessity.
It's marvellous country, these
Islands. and the Hawaiians are loyal
Americans They have a magnificent
school system II is surprising TO see
in school of about fifty all races Of the
known world represented. from the fair
skinned Caucasian TO the ebony-hued
African, everyone speaking their own
tongue when first entering the school.
only 20 speak the language OF the United
states when they finally leave on in
structions, and go out 20 mingle in the
( business life Of the islands There was
one school We visited where bv actual
count eleven languages were spoken BY
the pupils.
The Hawaiian Islands came into our
possession during an eventfuI time, and
their Importance was never fully realized
by the people OF the United States. Ny
advice would be TO strongly fortify them
and place a sufficiently large military
force there. and this should be done with
out any loss OF time"

Cole says that everybody IN the Eighth
