War correspondents at Manila are
much puzzled over the movements OF
Senator Albert ]. Beveridge. the In
diana statesman, who has been bob
bing hither and thither about the
islands OF Luzon and Sulu in most
astounding fashion. Senator Bever-
idge, it is reported. has Travelled 1000
miles by water, ridden 600 miles on
horseback, visited the natives In their
huts, made call upon the sultan of
Sulu, voyaged on top of iron-roofed
railroad cars and mingled in the front
of battle half dozen times. A posi-
BILE explanation of the senator's activ-
ity may be that he really wants to see
what our new possessions look like
and to know how things are going on.
