speculation. Persons in Japan want to
know what the state department in
tends TO do, and anything that can
uncover the plans of Mr.. Knox, secre-
tary of state, would be of advantage
to Japan. But there is no indication
that Secretary Knox is to be drawn
out.
If the department is going to pro-
test, Mr.. Knox is determined that no
one shall know it, and the japanese
government will first be informed of
this protest when it lands in the Toxic
foreign office.
Amy statement one way or the other
puts the state department at disad-
vantage at this juneture. If Mr. Knox
admits he is going to protest, this pre-
pares Japan for her defense and puts
the state department at a manifest
disadvantage when the, protest is
made.
If Mr.. Knox, on the other hand, de-
MES that he is to protest, the Japa-
nese government either considers that
the state department has found no
grounds for protest or that Mr.. Knox.
after giving the matter consideration,
has decided to keep "hands off

Importance of having Hawaii impreg-
uable will be augmented.
No Big Fleet Yet.
It is naturally suggested that the
new step means the maintenance of a
big feet of warships in the Pacific,
but that probably is not to be expected
for the present. The navy department
is keeping a formidable fleet Of armor-
ed cruisers in the Pacific and as the
new ships are completed some of the
older battleships may be transferred
there Or placed in reserve at Honolulu.
It is to be borne in mind, however. that
once the Panama Canal is finished the
Atlantic battlefield, when it is at Guam
tanamo or at target practice in the
West Indies every winter, can rendez-
vous almost as easily at Pearl Harbor
as at New York, or Provincetown, or
Hampton Roads. The difference in dis
lance from the West Indies. as be-
tween Provincetown and Honolulu will
be immaterial as mileage for steamships
is concerned. It would mean only
day or two more of steaming.
SO all things considered the decision
tc make Pearl Harbor the only naval
base in the Pacific is exceedingly i'm
portant in the future plans for both the
army and the navy and assures that
place becoming, perhaps, the most i'm
portant in military operations on either
ocean if not in the world.

the fire of the United States on Man
churia.
What this purpose is, the department
does not show, and the japanese en-
bassy is likewise at loss to explain.
At the japanese embassy the most en-
phatic denial was made of the contents
of the despatch.
"We have never heard of any such
action by Mr.. O'Brien,' the embassy
officials said, "and if such action had
been taken you can rest assured that
we would have heard of it. Some
times diplomatic denials are necessary,
but this is not a diplomatic denial. -
In analyzing the Shinpo despatch,
state department officials. after specu-
lating ON the reason for its publica-
ton, proceeded to characterize the re-
port as a "poor guess" by someone
who had not followed recent diplo-
matte events closely between japan
and the United States.
"Bringing in Pratas Island is evil

lated his despatch far more cleverly
than he has done. Japan recognizes
Chinese sovereignty in Pratas Island,
and there has been nothing recently
to call the attention of the United
States government to his particular
phase of the situation. The question
in Manchuria is different, but this
question is so broad that anyone could
guess there might be matters for con-
sideration in Manchuria. -
1t is explained that the necessary
reticence of the state department in
its present negotiations relative to
Manchnria makes it nossihle for wide

Tense in time Of war and that hostili-
Ties on sea can be conducted far bet
ter from Pearl Harbor as base, 2l09
railes from San Francisco, than from
subig Bay, which is more than 5000
miles from San Francisco and from
the mainland. 1t will undoubtedly
mean the further enlargement of the
military and naval establishment Of
the Island Of Oahu. Before three or
four wears have passed there will prob
ably be far more soldiers, including
both infantry and cavalry, stationed in
the vicinity of Honolulu than in the
vicinity Of any other city under the
stars and stripes. 1t will also mean
that the most powerful naval station
in the world will be at Pearl Harbor
Ten Million the Cost.
Those familiar with naval matters
believe that the expenditure for the
new naval station viii soon aggregate
$I0,000,000. The present plans con-
template an expenditure of approx
mately $7,000,O00, when-abOut the
middle of 1912-the dredging of the
channel to Pearl Harbor at a cost of
$780, 900. the construction of a mann
moth drydock at a cost of $2,000,000,
and possibly of an addition thereto to
cost ST 100000 more, and the erection
of great shops and barracks have been
completed Since the announcement
was made, the concern of navy Off
GERS has been chiefly over the attitude
congress will assume toward this enor-
NOUS project. The one thing essential
now is the speedy appropriation of nee
essaTy funds. In other cases, congress
has been prone to delay and to supply
money less speedily than it could well
be expended. This winter money will
be asked for speeding the dredging
of the channel and also for increasing
the drydock. so that it viii be large
enough TO accommodate two dread
nOughts at the same time, as original
ly contemplated. Because of the strict
economy that must apparently be ex-
ereised this winter, when the govern
ment is spending money at the rate
of $5,000,000 more month than it
collects. there will be disposition to
eHrtail on Pearl Harb0r.
Navy Wins and Loses.
The navy both wins and loses in
this decision for the abandonment of
the Philippines as base for warlike
operations. A joint army and navy
board worked out the plan in favor of
Pearl Harbor and their recommends
ton then went to the secretary of the
navy and to the President before it
became effective. The navy has long
been eontending for the establishment
of a great naval base at Olongapo,
and the army has contented that no
Notifications should be placed at Su-
big Bay, but rather on Manila Bay.
The army has been having its way in
that matter, although the fight has
been hot and heavy between the two

military branches and the subject has
been much discussed in congress. But
The coast defenses Of Manila are now
well on toward completion, and large
snms of money have been spent for
placing the most modern defense guns
on Corregidor island and other Is
lands near Manila This work will go
on without interruption, and Mania
will have as complete and powerful
Notifications as the government can
construct.
The theory Of that is that the Philip
pine Islands can not be defended from
invasion by hostile army. There are
several points along the Pacific ocean
side of the island of Luzon where
transports could land an army. The
idea of prominent army officers, how
ever, is that it would be necessary to
defend Manila and that such defense,
with the troops the war department
viii likely keep there, is entirely prac-
ticable So while an enemy might
make a landing upon Luzon, he could
not easily take Manila the capital and
chief city of the archipelago. And
while he might be trying to capture
the city or to besiege it, the navy could
come over the Pacific from Pearl Har-
Dor annihilate the enemy's navy on
the sea and cut off his army on the

Would Send 10000 Here.

The plan undoubtedly looks to an
ultimate increase in the number of
troops to be stationed at Honolulu. 1t
is known that General Bell, the chief
of staff. would have 10000 soldiers sta
toned at Honolulu and vicinity within
three months if he could have his way.
The climate there is healthful, the loca-
tons for barracks ideal, and the point
is a strategic one in the command of
the Pacific. But the army is not yet
large enough to warrant the detail of
so large a portion of it to one city.
The war depart ment, however, is con-
stantly working out plans for an in
crease of the fighting force there. II
now includes about 1900 cavalry, about
800 infantry and 500 marines. That is
larger force than it would have been
thought possible to put there a few
years ago, except in case of threatened
war. The general staff is alive to the
possibilities of a great cavalry post at
Leilehua barracks, where there are now
only temporary buildings. There is no
more ideal spot in all the world for
great cavalry post Before many
years there will be a considerable force
of coast artillery at Honolulu and Pearl

defenses, which are now rapidly pro-

already appropriated good portion of
the money needed for installing the
necessary guns at Honolulu and at Pearl
Harbor. There are big batteries at Ho-

Guiding eight mortars back of DIAMOND
Head. Both the Army and the NAVY
will be urging congress for money this
winter to enlarge the facilities for
their respective forces upon the island
Of Oahu and in the natural order of
things will obtain considerable sums for
that purpose. The program now clearly
IS to make that great Gibraltar of
defense, not only for the protection of
the Philippines bat also for the pro-
lection of the mainland. For as long
as Hawaii remains intact, it will be
practically impossible that any enemv's
ships should operate against the main
