UNPREPARED FOR WAR

A Washington dispatch of the
14th says:
A report from the War Depart
ment, showing how the country is
inadequately protected against
invasion from foreign governments,
was sent to the House today as a
secret do cument. After several
conferences and telephone messages
it was returned to the War Depart
ment because the House could not
receive a secret report.
Members of Congress who saw
the document before its with
drawal say the report of Secretary
Dickinson points out that the
country is wholly unprepared for
war; that there is a woeful
inadeq uacy of men, guns and
ammunition; that the army should
be reorganized; and that a council
of national defense with the
Secretary of War at its head should
be created by Congress.
The report of General Wood,
marked CONFIDENTIAL" dealt with
these matters and gave official
notice to matters more or less
commonly known among army and
navy experts in this country and
abroad. In fact, the real signif-
icance of; the document is that it
makes the official admission of
conditions already we'll known
among army and navy officers.
General Wood, before the House
military committee, discussed the
whole subject of the national
defenses, and told where the weak
points lay. He laid particular
emphasis on the POSSIBILITY of attack
from the Orient.
= de did not give vent to alarmist
views but talked confidentially on
the prudence of taking immediate
action to guard agains any possible
trouble from Japan or China. Rep
resentative McLachlan, of Calf
ornia, author of the resolution
which brought about this official
exposition of the weakness of the
military defenses said:
"A foreign country could land
100000 troops on the Pacific coast
in thirty days and the only intima-
ton Of trouble would be their
blowing up the mountain passes,
thus preventing any communication
with the East.
I'm three states west of the
Rocky Mountains, California,
Oregon and Warrington, we have
5000 regular roops and $4,000
state militianen. The best military
authorities say it would take years
to dislodge foreign troops if they
ever secured a foot-hold under
these conditions.

TURKISH SULTAN is
90 YEARS OLD TODAY

Constantinople, Nov. 3.-Mohem-
med ", the puppet figurehead who
poses as sultan and ruler of Turkey,
was born in this city sixty-six years
ago today. The birthday of the weak
monarch was observed by the firing
of salutes, the display of flags over
many buildings and the presentation
of addresses of felicitation by mem
bers of the government and diplo-
matte corps, but there was little in
the nature of popular rejoicing. While
many of his subjects feared and hat
ed Abdul Hamid, the wicked old "as-
sassin" who was deposed by the
Young Turks he at least commanded
their outward seeming respect. The
present sultan is so completely DOM
mated by his advisers that few are
so poor as to do him reverence. While
his reign has certainly been marked
by great improvements over that of
his bloodthirsty predecessor. few give
any credit to the sultan for this con-
dition of affairs.
Mehemmed V. is a brother OF Abdul
Hamid and was kept in confinement
ny tHe ldlteI uhtii 'he ie'OiueioA w
posed Abdul and put Mehemmed on
the throne to rule in his stead.
Whether Abdul "the Damned" is
alive or dead is a secret known only
to the real rulers of Turkey, and
quite probably kept from the sultan.
A thousand rumors are afloat about
the fate of the ex-sultan, but 1t is i'm
possible to sift the truth from the
mass OF lies.

LANDS BEING
MADE INTO ORCHARDS

Portland, Ore.-An interesting ex-
pertinent is being tried in the vicinity
Of Yacolt, Wash, where cut over
lands are being transformed into ap-
pie orchards. An expert orchardist
from Hood River has been selected
to direct the work and 1t Is thought
the logged off land, although far from
any Of the prize fruit districts OF the
northwest, can be turned into valu-
able orchards. once the stumps are
removed.
Gangs of Japanese laborers are now
pulling out the stumps. Young ap-
pie trees will supplant them. Recent
investigation seems to show that ex-
cellent apples are possible not only
in the better known apple districts,
but that the growing of prize fruit is
more a matter of intelligent care than
of locality. Should the logged Off
lands of the Yacolt district prove
suited to the growth of good fruit, an
immense territory OF similar lands
now lying idle. will be made valuable
and will provide homes for a dense
population.

He AMUSED THE CUBS.

Amusing Him.

Then the Young Lions Took Turn a,
Amusing Him.
A negro attached to an African hunt
ing party met with a curious adven.
ture, says an English paper. Wander
ing one day from camp, he surprised
two lion cubs at play and thoughtless-
ly commenced to amuse them. He was
only too successful. The big cubs gam
boiled fearlessly about him and to his
dismay refused to deSist when he
wished to leave them.
Realizing the danger to which he
would be exposed should the mother
appear, he began to run, but the cubs
refused to be shaken off and in their
play scratched his legs in fearful
fashion.
That the creatures were thoroughly
enjoying themselves was evident from
their manifestations of delight. and
before long their unusual cries brought
a lioness leaping to the spot.
Trembling in every limb, the negro
faced the growing animal, while the
cubs continued to jump up at him,
eager for further caresses. The en-
ragged lioness moved round uneasily
in a circle, man and beast keeping
their eyes steadily on each other. Sew
eral times the lioness erouched to
spring. but the man, from fear, never
shifted his gaze.
At length, after what seemed an age,
when the negro was ready TO drop
from exhaustion, the animal suddenly
called her cubs away and disappeared
into the surrounding scrub.
