ARMY AND NAVY.
BY ]. A. BREcKoNs.

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
WASHINGTON, June 12.-Attack-
ing the plan proposed by General
Wood, chief of staff of the army, for
short-term enlistment, as extrava.
CANT and impracticable, Chairman
Hay and other members of the House
committee on military affairs predict
certain defeat of any such measure
if introduced during this Congress.
With this opposition, there seems lit
tie likelihood of General Woods
plans carrying at this time. The
House committee has decided to fa-
vorably report the Hay BILL providing
that the term of army enlistment be
heightened from three to five years.
1t is claimed by a majority of the
House committee on military affairs
that General Wood stands almost
alone among the high officers of the
army in desiring short-term enlist
ments. Other officers, they say, have
testified that it is impossible to teach
man to be soldier in less than
three years, and that the army will
be better off if the enlistment is
made longer.
1t is General Woods plan that for
seven years after the term of enlist
ment has expired soldiers are to be
paid at the rate of 50 a month and
required to report at regular inter-
walls to the adjutant general of the
army. He would have them go into
camp with the regulars several times
a year.
Such plan would place a large I'M
necessary expense upon the govern
ment, according to Representative
Hay, who believes that few men
would be attracted to the army by
the so per month promised. 1t is the
idea of the House military commit
tee that as the tactics of the army
are constantly changing, by the time
the seven years were up this reserve
corps" would know very little about
maneuvers. 1t would prove a big ex-
pense for a little return, in their
opinion.
The main objection to the plan is
that it is believed impossible to break
in the average soldier in six months,
or even in one or two years. Under
such a plan, it is claimed, just as a
man would be mastering the rudi-
ments of being a good soldier, his
enlistment would run out and all the
money and energy in educating him
would be lost

heard of as the guest of honor at some
big banquet in San Francisco's China
town.
He finally dropped out of sight alto
gether. On one of his scientific expe-
ditions DIR. David Starr Jordan is re.
puted to have met Lea on the west
coast of China in command of some
native troops.
After the Boxer rebellion General
Lea came back in a half Oriental uni
form and carrying a military "swag-
ger stick" such as European armies
affect. He stated that he held the
rank of lieutenant general in the Chi
nese reform army, and had been en-
gagged. in a war against the troops
commanded by the Empress Isl An.
Prime Kowtows.
Everybody in this, his home city,
yelled with uproarious glee at this
story, but presently came the fugitive
prince of the blood, LANG Chew. He
reported to General Lea like a bell
boy when the clerk calls Front" All
during his stay in Los Angeles, Prince
Chew would see no one except on
signed order from Homer Lea.
Following in his wake came Kang
Yu Wei, the royal fugitive, who had
been the prime minister and whose re-
forms caused the empress to put a
price on his head. He was equally at
tentfve to Homer Lea. When he left,
General Lea went with him, travelling
all over Europe as his guest.
Three or four years ago he dropped
suddenly into Los Angeles and began
to write book on military strategy.
He called it "The Valor of Ignorance.
Scores United States Defenses.
The gist of the book was that the
army officers of the United States in
planning the national defenses had
made a series of stupid blunders; that,
in the event of war with Japan, we
would be hopelessly defeated; that
San Francisco could be captured in
five different ways without firing a sin
gle shot, owing to the stupidity planned
defenses, and that Los Angeles was as
feebly protected as a soft-shelled crab

bed of fifteen feet through. Forty
five feet of clay came next, bordering
the water rock which has been
drilled seventy-fve feet making the
sum total to the bottom of the well.
This artesian well is located about
a mile and half north of Diamond
Head. The water Will be piped across
to Fort Ruger. At the foot of the
hill, at the coast artillery post, this
pipe will be branched, one line lead
ing to the officers quarters and the
second pipe supplying the reservoir
inside of the crater of Diamond Head.
The Government, as represented
by Captain Frank b. Edwards, U. S.
army, on yesterday, Wednesday, ac-
cepted the well from the contractors,

pany. The we'll is now the property
of Uncle Sam.
Reservoir in a Month.
Work on the reservoir is progress
ing so rapidly and satisfactorily that
probably in another month water can
be turned into it. Captain Edwards
has encountered two distinct kinds
of dirt in making this reservoir in the
interior of Diamond Head using a
section of the old crater which
seemed best for the purpose. Instead
of having, merely to clean off the
grass and go to work. as some
thought would only be necessary,
before construction was begun, Cap
tain Edwards has met and overcome
many unexpected difficulties. One
quality of dirt found seemed to be
kind of rotten lava, the other a very
hard stone to deal with at first, but
if left for a few days exposed to the
sun and air it crumbles quite readily.
About a thousand tons of rock in the
shape of builders We're first routed
from the site of the reservoir.
The reservoir will have an arched
roof and will have a capacity of seven
hundred and fifty thousand gallons
of water.

LOS ANGELES, June 13.-General
Homer Lea, author of The Valor of

has just left Los Angeles for Europe
He is going, he says, on a great mis-.
sion. Incidentally he will visit cele.
brated 'occulist in Wiesbaden in the
hope of averting a disaster to his eye.
sight, which is threatened as the re.
suit of poor health and overwork.
When his health is restored he will
remain for two years in Europe writ
ing book on the military defenses of
Great Britain. His intimate friends
assert that this work will be under
taken at the unofficial request of the
British government. He has also been
requested, his friends state, to go
from Europe to Australia and lay out
broad general plan for the defense
of the island empire.
To China for.Great Crash.
After two years in Europe, General
Lea expects to go to China in time
for the great crash.
1t is an open secret that the great
Wo Wong Woey Society, which
brought the late empress to her knees,
is working toward the overthrow of
the present weak dynasty nChina.
The present emperor and his advis-
ers are said to be under the absolute
domination of the foreign Office in
Toxic. This domination extends to
such a degree that the Chinaman
seeking imperial preferment in his
government has to go to Toxic to get
the Office he wants.
General Lea seems to be intimately
connected with this revolutionary
movement Just how great is his
power no one seems to know; but his
friends claim that he is one of the
most powerful leaders of the move
ment, which involves about 6O,OOO,O0O
Chinese and money untold.
General LEAFS career is as much, if
not more, of mystery here among his
own friends as anywhere.

He was formerly a student at the
Los Angeles high school, and, upon
graduation, went to Stanford. He was

Honolulu, June 30, 1911.
Editor Star: l have noticed Mr.. w.
T. Gibson's remarks in regard to the
urgent need of a great public hall, and
will say that no truer words were ever
uttered. Not only is such hall need
ed in which to give the closing eXer-
cises of the schools, but such a place
is just as badly needed for the pur-
pose of giving great public entertain
ments. The Calve and the Sheffield
Choir concerts are instances in point
But this is a fact that has been recog-
nized for a long time past, and many
of us have been working for years in
trying to get the authorities to do
something about this matter. Many
of us have been trying to get the old
fish market changed into a great pub
lie hall, which could be done without
much expense, and in small space of
time But the powers that be assure
us that for many reasons this is out
of the question. They also tell us
that so great is the need and absolute
necessity of so many other public
buildings and other public works that
it is absolutely impossible to go to
the expense of building such a hall,

WELL COMPLETED, RESERVOIR IN
DIAMOND HEAD READY NEXT MONTH,
INTERESTING GEOLOGICAL LAYERS

A final test of the artesian well
just completed by the Cosmopolitan
Well Boring Company of Honolulu,
from which the water supply for Fort
Ruger will be drawn, was ended on
yesterday
Shortly after one o'clock an inter-
ested party, consisting of Captain
Frank B. Edwards, United States
army, constructing quartermaster for
this military district; Percy NJ. Pond,
Mr.. Bigelow, Theodore Richards, T.
F. Sedgwick, Daniel F. Mccarthy,
Williams Settle, H. p. Kennedy,
Harry Harrison, G. S. Wright and
others gathered at the new well site
to witness an additional and supreme
test as to the quantity of water over
and above what had been guaranteed
by the company.
An extra length of a ten-inch pipe
was lowered yesterday and a pump
applied. 1t was quickly shown how
readily the water vein responded, for
within a few minutes the flow of
water had increased to one million
three hundred and seventeen thou
sand gallons in the day and night
space of time, an increase of three
hundred and seventeen thousand gal
Ions over what had been anticipated.
The water is of splendid quality. A
test officially made showed only six
and one-half grains of salt to the
gallon.
The Geological Layers.
This artesian well is approximately
four hundred and twenty feet deep
A greater depth was allowed for, but
the supply met the demand and there
was no reason to go deeper. The first
four feet of the well boring, soil was
encountered, five feet of coral came
next, then seventy-seven feet of lava.
Ninety feet of coral was followed by
fifty-nine feet of clay. Ten feet Of
coral came, succeeded by another
stratum of clay thirty-one feet thick.
Gravel ten feet, met another coral

The indications point to a large
number of persons stopping at Hale

bathing there is so good that few can
resist the temptation to pay a visit

sons. The rooms to those who want
ventilation and comfort while sleep

members of the House committee on
military affairs, to institute and
carry forward an investigation of the
military establishment and its organi-
cation, proportions, strength, distribu-
ton, maintenance and administration

illusions as to the cause of inefficiency
and extravaganza, if found to exist,
and to suggest remedial measures"
The five senators on the Investigate.
ing committee are to be selected by
the chairman of the Senate military
committee, and the five House mem
bers by the House military affairs

NEW ARM0RY MIGHT FILL THE
NEEO Of A LARGE PUBLIC HALL

realizes the need of such hall, just
as much as any of us, suggests that
the new armory, which must be built
in the near future, be built with a
view of utilizing it for a great public
hall. He says that this building will
contain hardwood polished doors, and
will, with the galleries, have seat
ing capacity of 25OO people. The adj
vantage of this building is the fact
that it will always be kept in good or.
der and in good condition, and will
also be an ornament to the city. 1t
will also be centrally located and con-
venient to the residents in all parts of
the city. 1t is also claimed that this
building will be so constructed as to
be an ideal place in which to give en-
tertainments of all kinds and in al
most all seasons of the year. And
these seem to be facts that cannot be
refuted, and therefore are worthy Of
consideration. Before closing, l
should like to congratulate the authori-
ties and the people of Honolulu in at
least getting the building ordinance"
passed and in working order, as it will
prove a grand thing for this city.
Yours very truly,
GEORGE OSBORNE.
