WAR SCARE
YESTERDAY
IN CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, December ia
sensation occurred yesterday when the
war department sent to the house of
representatives as a secret document
its report showing that the country is
unprepared for war and that it is in.
adequately protected in case of inva-
sion.
After several conferences the report
was returned 10 Secretary of War
Dickinson, the house refusing to re-
ceive it, Speaker Cannon ruling that
it could not receive a secret report
which necessitated its holding a secret
session, which is unprecedented dur
ing century
1t is stated that the report points
out that the country is wholly unpre-
pared for war; that there is an made
quate number of men, of guns and of
munitions of war.
The recommendation in the report,
according to the best information. are
for material increase in the compile
ment of the army on a more practical
basis, and for the formation of a Ma
tional Council of Defense headed by
the secretary Of war.
Necessity for Action.
Maj.-Gen. Leonard Wood, chief Of
the general staff of the army, discuss
ed the points made in the report be-
fore the military committee of the
house and is reported to have gone
into detail in connection with the
faults under the present system of or
ganization and as to the remedies.
Major-General Wood is stated to
have dwelt with particular emphasis
upon possible attack from the Orient
and advocated immediate action by
the government to guard against any
possible trouble from China and Japan
Congressman James McLachlan, of
California, declared that an enemy
from the Orient could land 100000
troops on the Pacific Coast within
thirty days, and he, too, accentuated
the need of immediate action to safe
guard the western shores of the coun
try.
Following a conference with Presi
dent Taft and Secretary of War Dick
inson Congressman Hobson introduced
in the house a bill embodying the idei

SCOTCH COMEDY
MUST Be SHOWN

If Will Lochrane, the Scottish CO.
median, had been in Judge Robinson's
court yesterday he would have
been furnished with enough material
to make a real good laughable farce,
for the proceedings in connection with
the hearing of the appeal lodged
against the verdict given by Judge
Lymer in Lochrane's favor for S99,
were farcical in the extreme.
Douthitt & Coke, who are appear
ing in the matter for Overend, lodged
an appeal, and the matter duly came
before Judge Whitney, who in turn
had it transferred to Judge Robnson's
court A trial by jury was asked for,
and this matter was before Judge
Robinson this morning. Lochrane, it
seems, is anxious to leave Honolulu
so he wants the matter settled as
soon as possible. OF course, a trial
by jury win mean a delay, which
Judge Robinson pointed out this
morning, and further added that it
! seemed ridiculous to demand a jury
trial when only 500 were involved.
Attorney Douthitt pointed out that
it was the principle that they were
fighting for. He said that he was
busy now, and could not take the
matter up Immediately.
Judge Robinson supposed that Dout-
HIT would be busy for six years, and
said that he could not see any reason
why Il delay of six months or three
years should take place over so small
a matter.
Douthitt said that he did not went
a long delay, because he knew
that there were multitudes of people
who were anXiously waiting to hear
the wonderful, travelling, Scotch co.
median. The case was set dowr
for trial on Tuesday next.

of the administration for a National
Council of Defense.
Watching Orient.
This concerted action by the war
department, congress and the general
staff, backed by President Taft, toward
perfecting means Of defense against
possible invasion, particularly on the
Pacific Coast, emphasizes the fact
that the eyes of the military author
tiles are turned toward the Orient,
scanning the horizon for war clouds.
Among those here who are not
bound to secrecy by connection with
the war department, IL is believed that
there is more reason than appears up
on the surface for the sudden activi-
ties in the department. 1t is even
limited that the activities of the Jap
anese government in launching battle
ship after battleship and ordering, I'M
der rush orders, a $4,000 ton armored
cruiser in England, have opened the
eyes of the military authorities to
the unpreparedness of the military
forces Of this country to repel an in.
