THE DISGRACE CONTINUES.

w dIut uut OIleE udN ue gave us new
and shocking views of conditions in
this chief city of the Philippines. Our
brother spent a month i'm the islands
en- route to the General Conference,
and had Iexcellent opportunities of
learning the exact facts. He confirms
all that has been printed regarding
the terrible multiplication of saloons
since we took possession of Manila.
OF the drinking customs of the people
Bishop Warne says: ''The Filipino
is an Eastern man. He moves slowly.
He was accustomed to sip his liquor
and chat just as lazily as he does
other things. He never got drunk.
When our American soldiers went to
Manila they began swilling down vino,
the native liquor, just as they had
been accustomed to taking their beer.
This vile stuff makes them crazy
drunk. 1t is more deadly than any
liquor of which we have knowledge.
Following the example of the Ameri-
cans, the natives are now pouring
down vino in American style. Hence
actual drunkenness has increased at
an alarming rate. Saloons line the
principal street of Manila. and the
result among both soldiers and natives
is terrible"
We wonder what thoughtful Filipi-
nos think of the Acknowledgements
What is their estimate of our boosted
Christian civilization? With these
drunken, crayzy, cursing, dying
soldiers on the street and in the hos
pitfalls, what will be their attitude
toward those who will presently go
from this country to preach the gos-
pei of sobriety, purity, and peace?
Explain it as you will, apologize
for it as best you may, the ugly fact
remains that American soldier drunk
enness in Manila is one of the most
disgraceful facts in our national his
tory. Who is responsible?-Epworth

DISGRACING THE FAMILY.
A little boy was going past liquor

open. His dog Sport, not knowing
any better, went in, but his little
master was soon after him, with the
good advice: "Come out of there,
Sport! Don't be disgracing the fam
