General Wood Explains Plan of
Macomb' Board for Land
,DefenSeS
By C. S, ALBERT.

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-That it
would be impossible to hold the en-
tire island of Oahu in the event of
war between the United States and
some foreign power with $4,000 gar
rison was declared by General Leon
ard Wood, chief of staff, before. the
house committee considering the for
tifications bill.
When the matter of land defenses
for Hawaii was reached General Wood
said:
1--WE find that it would be l-:pos-
sible for US to hold the entire island
securely with any garrison which Con-
gress would be willing to give us-any
mobile garrison-and therefore we
have to contract our defended area
and put in pretty strong line OF land
defenses. employing therein number
of seacOast guns of the smaller cali
bers.
Under the original plans for the
defense of the islands it was thought
we could holdNthe entire central plain,
in fact the entire island, but a very
much more careful study of the sit
uation has convinced our officers, both
engineers and line, that we can not
with the garrison which you will prob
ably be willing to give us of 15,0oO
or $4,000 men, hold the entire island
or rvet allfof the central plain. and
that we shall be forced back to the
immediate vicinity of our seacoast de-
fenses, and in constructing this line or
land works it is proposed to use the
various craters as part of the de-
lenses. and part of the armament we
have taken from the defenses or the
United States.

the thanks of the entire community
for what he considered merely a good

Fight COMING
IARERlBLCAN
RULES CONQAVE
Precinct Club Finds 'JokerS' in
Draft of Regulations as
Recommended

Heralding a hot fight in the Re-
publican territorial rules convention
in Honolulu on February "a, vigorous
attack was made last night in tie
fifth precinct, fourth district, on the
proposed rule changes prepared by a
special committee of G. o. P. leaders
and sent out with the apparent in
dorsement of the territorial committee
chiefs. ~
The Republican club OF this pre-
cinct, after listening to a discussion
Of the changes proposed and also to
warm attack on these changes.
adopted a set of suggestions drafted
by l.. NJ. Judd and William Thomp
son. These suggestions, which rad
ically revise The proposed rules, were
filed in writing with the club secre-
tary
"Jokers" Alleged.
With the advocacy of this new set
of rules there we're brought out charges
that the draft sent out by the terri
torial chiefs contains sections appar-
emily carrying "jokers." designed to
entrench the central committee in
power and to avoid full observance of
the spirit of the direct primary law.
A particularly scathing criticism is
directed against the section which pro-
vides for distribution of party funds.
In this connection the communication
signed by Messrs. Judd and Thompson
says: ~>. :, =" e..
"This section radically changes the
old method in regard to the division
I of funds. Previously the territorial
central committee and the several
county committees have had control
Of all funds which they may collect.
the proposed rule provides for the in
terlocking of county and territorial

Great Military Canal to Make
Protecting Island for
Pearl Harbor
LEFT OF 0AHU'S LINE
TO BE MADE STRONGER
-Four Additional Mortars Inside
Rim of Diamond

HC IlIldI NOIu TcSdIuIHS the
defense Of Oahu has come from
Washington. Extensive as have
been the plans previously an.
nouDeed for protecting the
great naval base at Pearl Har-
hor, and resisting the invasion
of the island, the scheme of the
Maeonlb board, as outlined by
Majcf-genera1 Wood i'm a hear
ing OF the Notifications bill
before the house subcommittee
on appropriations, is more far
Ipaclling than has been general
ly known here. The report of.
the Macomb board, composed of
Brigadiergeneral Nj. NJ. Ma.
comb, I.ieutenant.colonel John
r. Morrison and Major George
Blakely, was regarded here as,
e
strictly confidential, and its
text has been closely guarded at,
this end Of the line, but its pro
visions have now been discuss
ed in open hearing before com
mittee.
The peninsula which juts out.
into Pearl Harbor west of
Ford Island is to be cut off
from the mainland by a great
canal, 1000 yards long, $50
yards wide and 6 feet deep. The
tip of the peninsula will then
form an island, which is to be
strongly fortified, and which
will form the left of the
defensive line. Probably strong
infantry redeubts will be con-
structed, to defend the position
against direct frontal attack,
while batteries on Ford Island
will cover the flanks toward
Pearl City and Waipahu, and
in the direction of Barber's
Point which latter position
will be thoroughly cleared. The
proposed canal will prevent the
storming of the position by in
fantry, and will make d strong
ly fortified island, which will
cover a former weak point in
the scheme of defense.
) Four additional 12-inch NOR
tars, to be placed inside the
crater of Diamond Head, is
another addition to the defen-
sire plan, to guard the eastern
end of the island! If all enemy
gained a commanding position
On the mountain above Fort
Ruger, it might silence Battery
Harlow, but artillery fire from
the ridge could not touch Inor-
tar-s located within the rim of
the crater.
Il AN not at liberty to dis
cuss this matter of Oahu's land
defenseS," said General Ma
comb this morning. General
Wood states in this report of
proceedings before the commit
tee that he is explaining the
plan of the MacOmb board, but

plan. This information can
