Without doubt, hthe two states nee

Guard Canal
And Hawaii.

Particular stress was laid upon the
necessity for fortifying and garrisoning
the Panama canal and Hawaii, the re-
port stating that the near approach to
completion Of the big ditch and the
policy under which 1t is to be admin
istered, together with the establishment
of a naval base in Hawaii, made these
measures necessary. Three full strength
regiments OF infantry, a squadron of
caavlry and a battalion of field artil-
lery, besides the necessary troops to
operate the guns which protect the en-
frances Of the canal, were necessary to
repel landing forces from a possible hos
tile fleet in the canal zone, according
to the report. This force should never
fall below $500 men. The canal. said
the secretary, would probably be open
to traffic during the latter half of 1913.
For the proper fertilization Of the
naval base at Hawaii the report stated
that it would be necessary to maintain,
in addition to the present force of H.
900 men, exclusive Of native troops an
additional force of six full strength reg
iments of infantry one regiment of
cavalry and three battalions of field
artillery.
The report stated that at the close Of
the fiscal year. June 80, 1912, the actual
strength of the United States army was
4.47O officers and 1885 enlisted men,
total of 50, 305, and an increas Sc since June
80. 1911, of 1879 officers and 1884 enlist
ed men. In addition to this, the actual
strength of the Philippine scouts at the
close of the fiscal year was $50 officers
and $3.50 enlisted men.

Underwood to
Call On Wilson.

Mr.. McCombs had nothing to say
personally on the question, but it is
quite well known that Representative
Underwood is to be one of the presi-
dent-elect's visitors. On that visit, it
is stated, Mr.. Underwood is to suggest
to the president elect that the quicker
the extraordinary session is called the
better it will be for the business inter
ests of the country and lNe quicker
the new tariff bill to % prepared by
Mr.. Underwood's coAmittee and ac-
cepted or amended by the house and
the senate will be ready for President
Wilson's signature
II believe firmly with a number of
my Democratic colleagues" Represen-
tative Underwood said. that it would
be advisable for President Wilson to
call the extraordinary session as quick
ly after March 4 as possible l have no
hesitation In suggesting the date to be
March Is.

information at my command as to the

They write that they are slowing down

ules to be adopted in the tariff bill af-
fecting their goods

pared by the ways and means commit
