AMERICAN FIRE ENGINES.
Do Effective Work in Manila, Capital
of Philippine Islands-save the
City from Destruction.

Consul Williams, who was driven from
Manila by the Spanish, in his last re-
port to the state department writes GU
riously enough testifying to the value
of American fire engines. On Febru-
airy 6 occurred the most devastating fire
that has visited Manila in many years,
the total loss being $1,25o,0oo in gold.
He also says it gives him great pleasure
to state that, by universal consent, the
city would have been lost had it not
been for the splendid service of this
engine. It is conceded also that with
four more such engines the protection
would have been perfect and the loss
avoided. The American engine did more
work than three European machines

A writer in the Coming Nation

his boasted brains, his inventions and
labor-saving machinery, man is the
only animal that starves to death

Civilized bipeds are the only form of
life which permit few of their kind
to lay claim to natural bounties and
starve others to death because of a
lack of access to these opportunities.
