The cruiser Maryland is to return to
Honolulu in the near future, although
the date of arrival has not been set.
Admiral Cowles has had no official no.
tice of the decision to send the war
ship back from the South and Central
American coasts, but it is rumored
among navy officers that the navy de-
partment has decided to keep the big
ship either in Hawaiian or Asiatic
waters. The Maryland after stay
here will probably be sent to the Phil

Admiral Cowles expects Honolulu to
be visited more frequently by warships
of the American Navy than ever be-
fore. The sending of the Pacific feet
to Honolulu last fall and keeping it
here nearly five months is understood
to be the forerunner of series of visits

Hbottling" of the American fleet has
been presented to naval and military
officers and they recognize the serious
ness of such situation confronting the
Island defenders. Admiral Cowles has
had no information on this phase of
the matter, and is not aware of the
reasons which have led to the introduce
ton in congress of special legislation
for the use of the channel.
"There will moi. be an unlimited use
/ of the channel by commercial VESSELS"
said the admiral yesterday. "There will
be no use of the channel by night, and
at times when any works are under
way, the use of the channel might be
prohibited. Discretion will be given
the commandant of the station to say
what may pass through the channel,
and when.
"Although the channel is wide, and
is as straight as could be made, at least
under the first dredging contract, a
vessel would need very powerful
searchlight to navigate it by night.
There was more or less obstruction
when the cruiser California made the
first trip up and down the channel, bat

The channel is being marked and

for the purpose. The work is practi-

Thirdly, while we are all anxious to

to see many renew and confirm the

and feel it to be the truth, that what
ever the number of new members

given to the different churches is alone
worth far more than all the cost and
work and effort of these meetings;

venture to predict that the feeling
of a common basis thus established will
never be lost in Honolulu; but that the
churches will be found working to-
gether in the future on many questions
concerning the welfare of the city in
a way which they have never done
before, for we all know that it is
united work which counts most. That
alone is worth all the effort we have
expended.

PEARL HARB0R
Uncle Sam to Provide Against
Possibility Of Foemen Clos
ing the Channel.

Rigid regulations for the use of Pearl
Harbor channel by merchant shipping
are being prepared by congress. They
Will give the commandment of the naval
station full power to determine what
vessels may use the newly completed
and buoyed four-mile long channel lead
ing from the open sea to the inner har-
Dor. For the present the channel is
open to whatever navigation may be
necessary for the merchant marine, but
when the naval station is completed
the special regulations will be issued.
The waters of Pearl Harbor are not
included in the scheme for naval devel-
opment, but the channel, hewed out of
coral to width of 600 feet and depth
of thirty-seven feet for a length CT
about four miles, may be considered
as having been done for the partic-
ular use of the United States. The up
per and west lochs, to be reached by
shipping, must be by way of the naval
channel. Just how congress will regard
the navy's need of an exclusive channel
is not known here, but it is known that
a bill has been presented to congress
for consideration, dealing with the prob
lem of commercial use of the channel

Much may depend upon the character
of naval and military works under way

have been asked by The Advertiser,
"What will this Christian Extension
Movement do for Honolulufv
That question is best answered by an
inquiry as to what the movement really
is. First of all it has become a move
ment far broader in its scope than that
embraced by the English-speaking
protestant churches alone. The Portu-
guese, Chinese, Japanese, Hawaiian and
Korean organizations are all conducting
a campaign simultaneously with our
own, and are succeeding to a remark
ale extent. Moreover, those at the cen.
trail meetings at the Empire who wish
to join or to renew their interest in
any church other than those indicated
on the cards are given an opportunity
to do SO.
This means that the spirit of the
movement should permeate all parts OF
Honolulu. Such movements progress
slowly at first, but gain in momentum
and force each day.
Work Accomplished.
Secondly, 1 feel sure this campaign
has already and in its course will more
and more stimulate the life and activ
ity of each church participating. AL
