WASHINGTON, December l1.-Al-
though the Pacific Coast Is not ade-
quately protected for. war, the Atlantic
Fleet could be rushed through the
Panama Canal, while any hostile fleet
would be delayed BY the. necessity of
reducing Manila and Honolulu. In the
opinion of. Secretary Daniels. who con-,
tinued his testimony to-day before. the
House Naval Affairs Committee. In
the course of an all-day examination,
the secretary also discussed the diff
ficulties of constructing satisfactory
airships and submarines but expressed
opposition to t"eXtravaSant. appropria-
tions" for either of these branches OF
the service. He predicted. TINT auiti,
mateIy the government must build Its
own warships NI

Secretary Daniels frankly told the
committee that there were no Dread
roughts or first-class bnttleships on the,
Pacific Coast. The only battleships
there. he said, was the Oregon, "a
twenty-yc year old vessel. The active
naval strength ON the Pacific Tho gave

Would Secure Assistance of the
Government In Carrying
Out of Its Plan

A project to obtain the assistance
Of the government in it's work. and to
provide for the construction and
maintenance of a shelter home for
children, is being furthered by the
Hawaii Humane Society in that it
will ask the 1915 legislature to pro-
vide such a home and the land on
which to build It. -
This proposed action on the part OF
the society is outlined in a report pre-
scented at a recent meeting Of the
charity and social welfare workers
Of Honolulu. The need of shelter
home in Honolulu has been voiced in
nearly all the reports which Special
Officer Miss Lucy Ward has present
ed at meetings OF the society. The
report sets forth that tract of gov.
eminent land Is desired in connection
with such a home in order that the
children can work out Of doors while
they are inmates of the. home, and be
taught agriculture. The report con.
cludes with the statement that the
Humane Society also will ask for the
maintenance of such home.
