NEW YORK. Feb. 1S.-No one in the

lncisivcly on current movements in the
world of the churches than Howard a.

with these words;
"Whcn we think Of the future of
The Jews we must remember change
among them almost as profound as their

We speak of the Jewish race, but Pro

All these forts and defenses are but
for one purpose, the defense of Pearl

the Pacific coast of America will almost
be out of reach Of any oriental invading

If they could.
A hostile fleet would have to stop at
the Hawaiian islands, the halfway

with the exception of lIilo bay. is
the only harbor in the islands that
could handle such fleet, it being con
