News from the Philippines may now
and then seem to grow dull and stale
in comparison with the stirring It'd
ings formerly received from those ISL
ands. Yet to the reflective mind each
word of even the simplest dispatch
suggests a romance of industry and
adventure. For every word has to
be flashed under the China sea from
Manila to Hong Kong; thence under
the same sea again. either to Brunei,
in Sarawak or to Hue and to Saigon,
in Indo-C China; thence third time
under the China sea to Singapore;
thence I'D the Strait to Georgetown;
thence across and under the Bay Of
Bengal to Madras; thence across the
teeming Deccan to Bombay; thence
under the Arabian sea to Alden;
thence up the Red sea to Suez; thence
across Egypt t9 Al.c,vs.2.indrla; thence
under the Mediterranean sea to Malta,
to Gibraltar and Lisbon. or to Mar
settles and thence across France;
thence to London; thence across land
and sea to the western coast of Ire
land; thence with mighty span I'M
der the Atlantic to Newfoundland. to
Nova Scotia, and so on to New York.
In that itinerary a whole treatise on
geography and more than one vol
ume of the worlds history are in

The United States has recently con-
cluded several arrangements for ar
bitration. One is with Great Britain
and Germany to. settle claims OF
American, British and German resi-
dents in Samoa for property damages
during the disturbances last year. An
other, with Haiti, arises from the COL
lection Of tax which Is asserted tc
have been illegal. There are, in all,
five such arbitrations agreed upon,
and sixth is pending. The claims
which are the subject of these arbi-
trations are not of the kind which
usually lead to war. The friends OF
peace throughout the world are urg-
ing that not only such civil suits as
these but national affronts and in
juries be referred to peaceful tri-
bunals and settled by them.
