THE PHILIPPINES MAY

Continued Occupation More Likely to
Cause Intervention Than Any
Other Issue Of the War.

WASHINGTON, May "A lead.ns
diplomatic official said il was unfortunate
at this juncture that the assertion was
made by leading men here that the Phi
ippines would be taken and held at least
until the war ended when they might b.
sold TO Great Britain or Japan. He point
ed out that while this course might be a
wise one in due time, yet Its announce
ment now only served TO awaken Eu-
ropean powers at a moment when II was
needless and impolitIc to excite resent
uient In those quarters.

Every undertaking in life has its crit

History is fun of instances where the fate
Of nations hung on the issue Of single

Nearly every man and woman can re-
