fine voice is fully appreciated by those
who like really good singing. 1t is a

raucous-voiced serio-comics, who seem
to think they, must Shrek to be
successful. Walter Perry is also a
big favorite still, and deservedly so.
The orchestra at the Biiou is feature
of the performance. The musical pro-
grams it plays are fine, and are high
ly appreciated. 1t is a splendid COM
bination, and the patrons welcome the
change from hackneyed ragtime to
real music. This orchestra is setting
a good example, and sooner or later
the other theaters. will have to follow
for at present the musical tastes of all
are being catered for at the Bijou.

THE NOVELTY.

AS usual, the Novelty was well pat,
ronized throughout the holidays, and
the excellent program was highly APP
preciated by the crowds that greeted
it. The Van Barkleys are still ap-
pearing with success, and so is Little
Jimmie. Wise and Milton are bigger
favorites than ever but they are fare
elling just now, for they leave for
Vance uver on the c. A. S. Makura
On January 3. They have been book
ed for Pantage's circuit for a fairly
long season, and at the conclusion of
their engagement there, they will re-
turn to Honolulu, when they may be
sure of hearty welcome. Miss
Margaret Lowell has joined the No
velty Theater, and she has already
established herself as a great favor
tie. The matinees of Saturday and
Monday were well patronized, and
as usual, the pictures shown were up
to a high standard. 1t is understood
that some, new talent will shortly ar
rive to fill the vanancy that will he
created by the departure of Wise and
Milton.

THE CIRCUS.

The circus concluded it's successful
season Monday night in the big tent at
Aala Park. There was a large and
enthusiastic audience, who highly
appreciated the splendid program sub
mitted, and each item was well APP
plauded. This combination left for
Hilo yesterday morning, where they
open for a short season, after which
they return to Honolulu, and will
play a farewell season at the Orpheum.
This should be a good location, for
ii is central, and the performance
should go even better in a theater
than in tent, for many of the items
on the program are better suited to
3 hall than a tent, particularly the
Vale trio, who were seen to such
advantage at viii Lochrane's bene-
fit. The great aerial act will be a lit
tie retricted, but otherwise the per-
fcrmance will be just as good as that
in the tent; Of course, the program
will be a change, all the artists put
ting on new turns.

THE PARK.

The Park was well nlled last evening
to witness the excellent program sub
mitted. Morris and Wilson have re-
turned to "The Crazy Holsters" again,
it was first put on. These boys are
extremely clever in their line of bust
ness, and it will no doubt be regretted
by many of the patrons that they are
in their last nights, for they sail for
San Francisco on the S. S. Sierra leav-
ing here on January 4. They should
do we'll on the mainland. Howard and
Edwards made their first appearance
in Honolulu Monday evening, and were
fairly successful. They sang a song
first, for which they received applause
then the male member of the duo came
out and sang another song. More
applause was received, and then he
came out arrayed in what is now po-
pularly supposed to be Spanish dress,
when seen on the stage at all events,
while she had castinets. The latter
may be taken as a certain indication
that it was a Spanish dance. He
played a mandolin and sang while the
lady danced. They were heartily ap-
plauLed for their efforts. Medora
painted two pictures in four minutes,
while Sandarte sketched in colored
sands, and Che Melnotte Sisters sang.

20 to 80 days.
NATIONAL BOARD PROPOSED.
"The situation as regards the Pacific
coast, therefore, appears to be:
Mobile Troops.
1--WE need to defend our Pacific coast
from attack, 100000.
eve have available 114,5OO.
1--WE are deficient in 335,5OO.
Coast Artillery Troops.
1--WE need to man our Pacific coast
defenses, 1926.
1--WE have available 2O,4OO."
In conclusion, the report says:
'In order that the deficiencies in our
defenses may be corrected and the
safety of the nation assured, it is sug-
gested that there be established by the
congress a permanent council of ma
tional defense, to be composed of
members OF the legislative and execu.
tive branches of the government upon
whom joint responsibility in this mat
ter rests, to determine general policy
of national defense and to recommend
to the congress and to the president
from time to time such measures re-
lating to the national defense as it
shall deem necessary and expedient."

THE BIJoU.

The Bijou still continues to rank
high in favor with Honolulu theater-
goers, a fact that is easily accounted
for by the excellent program that is
being submitted here. 1t is indeed a
god one. Several of the artists will
leave this week, and their places will
be taken by Ed. Ouigley, who arrived
yesterday by the Wilhelmina and
Mike Patton. Quizley in a black-face
monologue entertainer and an eccen-
trio dancer. He has made an ex-
cellent name for himself on the main
land, and Manager Kubey was sue
cessful in inducing him to come to
Honolulu. He is a leader in his
lines, and by obtaining this class
of performer it will be seen that the
Rijou management is catering to the
tastes of thier patrons. Abou Unlike
Patton is seems unnecessary to speak.
He is to well-known to need and in
PRODUCTION, and his popularity in I'M
bounded. During his short season,
Mike should prove a great attraction.
Both uQigley and Patton open tomOr-

which is now running.

of Hawaii. The last Congress auth

a defeat of the prohibition plan by a

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The text
of the confidential report to congress
of the secretary of war, which the
house refused, in order to shield the
secrets of the countrys unprepared-
ness for war, became known today.
The report that the country is at
the mercy of foreign invader stirred
up the Legislative and executive
branches of the national government.
Official Washington is rapidly divid-
ing into two camps, one for and one
against the creation of a great mill
tary establishment-and once more
the word 'jingoism" is heard.
ESTIMATE OF FORCES.
After calling attention to the ineffi-
cheney of the naval department on
the Atlantic coast, Secretary Dickin-
son in his report said:
"In a conservative estimate the
forces which could be transported in
single expedition over the Atlantic
, ocean to our coast by first class
power would be 100000 men, and the
time required would be from 10 to
IS days, depending upon the speed of
the convoy and the point such power
had selected for the attack.
"The same number of men could be
brought by an enemy against our Pa
cific coast as against our Atlantic and
gulf states and the same number of
defenders would be necessary. The
time required to transport such a
force across the Pacific would be from
16 to 20 days, depending upon the
speed of the convoy and the point Sc
lected for attack.
NEEDS FOR DEFENSE.
ITO prevent an enemy making a
lodgment on the Pacific coast we
would need in our first line at least
100000 trained mobile troops located
in proper strategic positions, fully or
ganized, and equipped for field opera
tons. These troops should be in a
position within 10 or 20 days after the
opening of hostilities.
ITO meet this requirement we have
available in all parts of the United
States total force of 114,OOO mobile
troops $4,000 regulars and $4,000 mi
litia.)
ut is estimated this force could be
assembled on the Pacific coast at the
following rate: In 10 days 10000, in 20
days 10000, in 30 days 114,OOO
"The length of the Pacific Coast, ex
elusive of Alaska, is about 1900 miles
Along this coast congress already has
established as a guard against attack
from the sea defenses at the entrance
to Puget sound, at the mouth of the
Columbia river, at San Francisco and
San Diego, Cal.
PROTECTION ON PACIFIC.
Projects for the extension and inn
provement Of these defenses, including
defenses for the coast in the vicinity
of Los Angeles, Cal, are under consid

board also has recommended the con
struction of defenses at the Pacific en-
trance of the canal

fective operation against attack from

coast artillery corps. To meet this
requirement we have available in al
parts Of the United States, as already
stated, a total force of 2O,4OO coast ar
