MORE PACIFIC.
Otis Sends a Report on the
Philippine Situation.

Washington, April general Otis
has cabled TO the war department.
probably with a view to correcting
erroneous impressions that exist in this
country as to the state of the insurrec-
tion in the Philippines, a summary of
the result of the development of the
campaign since the first of the calendar
year His figures go far toward off
setting the belief that exists in some
quarters that since the adoption of
guerrilla methods of warfare the insurg-
ents have inflicted substantial loss upon
American arms in comparison with the
punishment which they have them
selves received. 4 significant sentence
III the report differentiates insurgents
and ladrOnes, showing that Otis has
taken cOgniZance Of the fact that a con-
siderable number OF h0stiIes are not
soldiers under the rules OF war. and
T7lay not expect the same treatment.
The report. which is dated Manila, April
5, - as follows:
Since January I, 124 skirmishes in
the Philippines have been reported,
mostly slight affairs Our casualties
were three officers and 7s enlisted men
killed, b officers and 151 men wounded.
I1suvgent and Iadrone loss in killed
left on field 40; captured, mostly
wounded, 1883; small arms secured,
305l. pieces Of artillery. 165; large cap
lures of other insurgent property. A
numb Of important insurgent officers
are surrendering. and the situation is
gradually becoming more pacific.

THOUSANDS QUIT.
Vast Strike On in New York City and
Vicinity.

New York, April 3.-Severa1 thousand
men in the city. neighboring towns in
New Jersey and Westchester county, n.
Y, struck today for increased wages
and shorter hours Most OF the strikers
are carpenters and the enormous
amount of building in progress favOrs
the men. In the borough OF the Bronx
the carpenters demand $3.50 a. day for
hours work, with a Saturday half holi-
day and in Mt Vernon they ask 1925
for the same work In Newark, N J..
the carpenters demand 81 a day for 8
hours. They now get $2.75 for a 8 hour
day.
The men are well organized. and the
contractors are not making a united
stand; indeed. there is a general disp0-
sftiou to compromise with the strikers.
and not a few employers have conceded
the scale presented Painters. decOra-
tors and plumbers also struck in the
neighbOring towns. Manhattan island
and Brooklyn are practically exempt
from labor troubles and not many men
in the building trades are idle. The sur
prise Of the day was the strike of sew
eraf hundred italian laborerS employed
in Rye and Port Chester. Some de-
1manded 81 so for s hours work and 9TH
ers asked 50 for the same hours. An
early settlement Of all the strikes is
likely.

TO LEARN ENGLISH.
Chicago Pupils Must Give an Hour a
Day to Their Native Language

Chicago April 3.-ChaTges that teach
ers in public schools are following such
advanced" methods that they are fall
ing to instruct pupils properly IN the
most necessary branches Of learning
are made by members Of the board OF
education. Trustee Austin o. Sexton
told a committee of the board that half
of the teachers, the majority said to be
graduates of local high schools. could
not speak or write English correctly OF
spell correctly. DR. f Benjamin An
drews, superintendent of schools, ad-
-nitted that many Of the teachers were
deficient in the points mentioned by Mr..
Sexton The fault, he said, was not 50
much with the teachers as with the
system by which they were instructed
and by which they were instructing
others
Mr. Sexton urged the requirement of
one hours study of English grammar
every day He said. The trouble is
that the attempt is made to teach spell
ing without the use of spell
ing book, the English language without
a grammar, etc. We are advancing too
fast. Let srs stick TO the grammar and
the spelling book, no matter if they are
called old fashioned Give the pupils
one hour every day with the grammar,
not English literature. HiaWatha, julius
Caesar or anything of that sort but the
old fashioned technical grammar
A motion that pupils give one hour
each day to the English language with
especial reference to it's correct usage
