WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 26.-Pre.
paredness for national defense now
has taken precedence over all other
topics here. Even the exchange of
notes with Germany and Great Britain
has dropped back to a secondary po-
sition
President Wilson gave the sudden
impetus to discussion of bettering the
army and navy. This resulted from
an urgent call upon Secretaries Gar
rison and Daniels for complete data
regarding every detail in each sery-
ice which would make the United
States ready for defense against hos
tile power The two secretaries i'm
mediately began the collection of all
possible information bearing on the
subject, This matter will be forward
ed within a few days to the president
at Cornish and he will review the ma
terial in readiness for submission to
Congress- either at an extraordinary
or regular session. In any event 1t
will form the basis for his message
On the subject for national defense,
when the proper time comes.
The naval policy which Secretary
Daniels will recommend includes the
authorization of four super-dread-
ncughts and probably two battle cruis-
eFs.
it is desired to have four destroy
ers for each big ship. This would
mean at least 80 additional destroyers.
Funds will be sought for fleet Of
approximately 100 new submarines.
OF these 80 would be assigned TO the
Pacific coast and soma stationed 1t.
Honoiuiu.
An aeronautical base is sought IN
which 1t will be possible to turn out
three hydro-aeroplanes each week.
An Increase in enlistment will be
asked which means about $4,000 addi.
ticnal men for the navy.
1t is desired to enlarge the capacity
of the Naval Academy at Annapolis In
order that sufficient officers may be
provided for the future navy.
1t is planned to- give the recently
created advisory board of inventors a
legal status and to place lump sum
at the disposal of Secretary Daniels,
immediate advantage may De
taken of improvements.
It is planned to so increase the reg
ular army and militia that the aggre.
gate will be brought up to about no.
600 men. This would include regular
army of some 100000 officers and men
and federalized militia OF 100000
officers and men.
1t is desired to purchase equipment
for an army of 1000, 900 men and have

would cover five rifles for every man

ence to be held in Tnkio October Is to
26. The big conference IS being dis.
cussed with keen interest locally and
1t is expected that many local persons
of different nationallties who are inter-
ested In Sunday school work and in
mission work in Japan may make use
of the opportunity to visit the land Of
the cherry blossoms.
In connection with the conference,
two ships, the Minnesota and Lapland,
may stop at Honolulu on their way to
the Orient with delegates to the con-
vention. II is known that these
steamers have been chartered by a
large contingent of mainlanders who
are going to the convention.
The convention is being backed by
four of Japan's greatest men. These
are Premier Count Okuma, Baron Sa-
katini, mayor of Toxic: Baron Shibu-
sawa, financier, and Mr.. Nakano, pres
ident of the Toxic chamber of COM
rerce.

have been formulated at meeting of
prominent Japanese led by Premier
Count Okumg who have banded them
selves together into the Association
OF the Supporters of the Worlds Sun

Gated by theffaet that the meeting was
held at the official residence Of the

It was announced that the confer

to October 26 and that about 5000 dele
gates from various countries were ex-

ed States and arrangements are un-
der way to transport them on a special
steamer whichtowill sail from New
York and come to Yokohama by way
of the Panama canal and San Francis

As lodging facilities at Toxic are in
adequate 1t Is probable that the Amer

steamer at Yokohama, which is only
19 miles from Toxic. The expense
OF the conference is estimated at $25..
0e0. This will be raised by the Sup
porters' Association. Extensive facil.H

for the visitors.

Mr.. Woods letter, which arrived In
yesterday afternoons mail from San
Francisco, brings the news that the
Great Northern Steamship company
would send its general traffic mana
gaE1 c. +. Stone, to Hawaii to look In
TO the business situation. II satisfac'
tory arrangements can be made, the
Great. Northern would start triangu.
lar service OF two trips each month,
the route to be from San Francisco TO
San Pedro. San Pedro TO Honolulu,
Honolulu to San Francisco.
Mr.. Woods news is the result OF an
inquiry he has made at the instance
of the Promotion Committee. When
the Sierra was laid up and talk began
to grow serious of the Pacific Mail
suspending its service, Wood was ask
ed to look into the possibilities for
relieving the situation and at once
began to 60 over the matter with San
Francisco shipping men. His letter
tells the result.
After canvassing the situation thor
oughly, he took UP the matter with
the Great Northern steamer officials.
They held meeting at which their
leading officials were present, together
with Mr.. Wood.
Traffic Manager Coming.
Il was given the assurance, writes
Mr.. Wood, that Mr. c. E. Stone. their
general traffic manager, would make a
trip TO Hawaii in September with the
distinct purpose sof working ap bust
ness for his company. All that is
wanted Is a careful consideration at
your hands OF 'ant plan he may submit.
The ideas.H favorably received,
wouldfsbe to place the steamer Great
Northern on the run, making two trips
each month, commencing say Novem-
Der this year. the route to be from
San Francisco to San Pedro, San Pc
dro to Honolulu. returning from Homo
lulu to San Francisco direct. Time
going, FIVE days; returning. four and a
half days, the service to continue for
at least six months and longer If busi-
ness justifles it.
The Great Northern can carry $50
passengers and would probably ar
range for second-cabin accommoda-
tion as well as first cabin.
What Service Means.
IF this service is arranged for. Ha-
waii will come into plan of adyer-
tising much more thorough and COM
