On Dec. 6. the entire alert was called off. Most of the men on board ship and the men on land were given liberty. They were in town celebrating after having been on alert so long. There was one battalion at Schofield Barracks. The commander refused to give his men passes. They were kept on alert and bivouacked at Appol-loPark. These were the only men ready and waiting. ni WHILE THE celebrating was going on, the Japanese fleet was getting closer and closer. Word was sent to Washington that the Japanese fleet was X" number of miles away. The return reply came back, "carry on as per orders. What have you been drinking!"

They had all guns mounted with ammunition and crews ready for action should something happen. They received orders direct from Washington to dismantel all guns and crate them up and to secure all ammunition before spanning the Pacific.
