ON IMPORTANT MISSION
Chief Constructor Capps TO Visit Cavitc
and OIonEnpo Nnynl stations.

Washington, d. c., November IS
Chief Constructor Washington L.
Capps is going to the Philippines on
mission of great Importance to the
navy, under cover of an order de-
taching him from duty as tho senior
member of the boards on hull changes
of vessels building on the Atlantic
coast and directing him to proceed
abroad on special temporary duty. The
chief constructor is to make careful
examination of tho navy yard at
Cavite, in Manila harbor, and the naval
stations at Olongapo, on Subig Bay.
Part of the general scheme of naval
development In the Pacific Is to create
an American Gibraltar at Pearl Har-
bor, Hawaii, which involves the
abandonment of the idea of establish
ing a powerful naval base In the Phil
ippines. and converting the station at
Olongapo into mere repair depot.
There is not water enough at Cavitc to
enable heavy warships to approach
the navy yard there, and 1t is doubt
full ii Olongapo could be rendered i'm
pregnable,
Still, IN view OF the necessity of
making more or less repairs to the
Americup fleet which must be MAIN
tanned in the Orient, some suitable
plant must be maintained at point
nearer to Asia than Hawaii, hence the
necessity for placing the naval sta
tion at Olongapo in condition. The
report of Constructor Capps will en-
able the Navy Department to fix the
amount of tho estimate of appropria-
.tlon which must be submitted to Con-
gresS at the approaching session.

peal TO the nation, arising from the
struggle between the two houses seems
certain. and that henceforth elective
bases will enter into the constitution
or the House of Lords.
Interest in the situation has now
been transferred to the constituencies
The belief tonight is that the House
of Lords Will not attempt to pass the
second reading Of the veto bill on the
conditions imposed by Premier AS
tauith Mr. Asquith will open the LIB

National Liberal Club Tomorrow, and
In 1t he is expected to develop the

Much criticism and complaint are
heard on the Conservative side that
