The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-03-27

Washington, March 1S.-Redoubled
activity is being displayed by the War
Department in making emergency pre-
parations for the defense of Hawaii.
Having taken a roundabout course
through San Antonio, Texas, as if
heading for the army maneuvers, the
second U. S. Infantry passed through
Tucson today en- route to San Fran
cisco, where the men will embark
Immediately for Honolulu.
1t is rumored that within the next
three months a force of 10000, includ-
ing infantry, cavalry, field and mount
ed artillery will occupy the Hawaiian
and Philippine Islands.
The enlargement of the Pacific
naval force is declared a part of the
scheme.
That the activity is in preparation
for prevention of an attack by Japan
admits of no question, for Hawaii does
not need to be defended against any
other nation.
The department is making the most
complete amends for the long neglect
of the defenses of the Hawaiian ISL
ands, and is now engaged in work of
highly important nature.
Panama Guns for Hawaii.

partment has ordered to be sent to

American Activity.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 19.-Ac,
tivity in army circles is increasing
day by day. San Francisco army posts
and headquarters are pervaded by an
atmosphere of suppressed excitement,
which those familiar with military
affairs interpret to mean only one
thing-the United States is quietly,
but quickly, placing itself on war
footing, both at home and in it's island
possessions.
Ranking army officers of the depart,
ment deny that there is anything un.
usual in the present preparations, de
claring them of general plan to put
the army on a better lighting basis.

rison at Honolulu is being increased

force equal to that of a brigade, Of

WOMEN TOLD HOW

BY ONE WHO KNOWS
Madame de la Vie, Expert,
Explains Secrets to Colum-

women yesterday afternoon at the CO.

The several hundred women In her
audience were admonished to go home
and wash their faces with good soap
and pure water, as first aid to obtaining
a good complexion, which Madame de la

beauty.

to use cold cream, rouge, and other
aids to beauty. but advised her hearers
not to be too lavish in their use of
coloring matter.
The Gotham Idea.
Now take the New York women for
instance" said the lecturer. "They
paint themselves UP as though for a
moving picture show. They powder
their skins until they are perfectly
white. then they rouge their cheeks and
their lips and their ear lobes, and then
they start out for their Broadway prom
enades, looking more like frights than
like beautiful women. While l advocate
a little rouge for every woman, do not
advise plastering 1t on as a painter

husbands of the women who sat and lis
tened to her words of wisdom, evidently
believing each woman would handle the
situation In her own peculiar and dip

Her Stunning Gown.
Nine. de la Vie appeared on the
stage in stunning gown of royal blue
and silver ctiffon, yelling white satin,
and elaborately trimmed with silver
beads. At first she experienced consid-
cradle difficulty in keeping the rather
decollete bodice from slipping from her
