WILL MAKE AMERICANS.
Judge Estee Applauded the School
Teacher Habit.

There is one of the best moves ever
made by any government" said U. S.
District Court Judge Estee yesterday,
while walking up the street just behind
a group of school teachers, who were
talking of the Philippines Continuing:
"Those school teachers will be the mis-
sionaries of Americanism. Where they
go in a few years you will find the little
shavers talking the English language.
There is little hope of making good Eng
lish scholars out of the men and women
of the present generation. They are too
far gone to hope to make the change
but it is in the school tat the effect up
on the young will be seen. They viii
find that it is to the interest of all to
speak the official language of tie coun-
try, and then too they will grow to
speak it with fuency. SO that it will be
attractive to them. With tie language
will come the customs and then We will
have a good American citizenship, and
they may be citizens too"

eighteen months the Major has been in
charge of the Hawaiian Island divi-
sion His headquarters and home are
in Honolulu, but the bulk of his time is
spent going from Island to Island,
holding special services, inspecting the
work and encouraging the soldiers. Dur
ing his stay here the work has gone
forward with big strides, many weak
nesses have been remedied, the old sys-
tenn of moving the workers every few
months has been discontinued, so that
they now remain from one to two years
in their commands. During this time
more workers have been raised locally
than We're raised in all the previous
years, so that to some extent the d.

know both Major and Mrs. Wood agree
with the Major when he says that

He was strongly applauded several times

GREAT BRITAIN PROTESTS.
She objects to China's Signing the
Ndanchurian Agreement.

She objects to China's Signing the
Manchurian Agreement.
Washington, March T.-The British gov
eminent has protested against China's
making a convention with any Power
touching territorial or financial affairs
until the present troubles in that coun-
try are concluded. The fact of the Brit
ish protest was made known here for
the first time to-day by a dispatch from
one of the foreign offices of Europe. 1t
states that the protest was made through
Sir Ernest Satow, the British minister at
Pekin. 1t does not state when the repre-
sentations were made, but from the fact
the that the dispatch was received in
Washington to-day it is taken that the
protest has been within the last day or
two. Although the Russian agreement is
not specifically referred to, it is said to
be clear that the British action is direct
ed against the Russian agreement. The
language appears to be similar to that
used by Secretary Hay in the Ameri-
can protest. The effect of the British
action is to place the United States, ia
pan and Great Britain in formal opposi-
tlon to the signing of a convention with
any Power pending THE settlement Of the
Chinese troubles.
The concurrence of these protests prob
ably explains why the Manchurian agree
ment has not been signed. There was no
definite information received here to-day
at the State Department or at any of the
foreign embassies as to whether the
agreement had been signed or rejected.
There was something of a stir in diplo-
metic quarters over the report coming
from official sources that the United States
was considering the advisability Of adj
dressing Russia directly on the subject.
Heretofore the American objections to the
Manchurian agreement have been address
ed to China. Copies were furnished the
russian authorities, though the protest
IN form has been 20 China and not to Rus
sla Several of the foreign representa-
ives advised their governments that this
step was contemplated by the United
States, but there is no official informa-
uon available as to how far the consid-
Grafton of the move has proceeded.

BRITAIN'S GREAT SHIPYRRD.
Turn Out More Than All other COun-

States Consul Sawter, at Glauchau. the
shipbuilding yards of Great Britain during

cial vessels, against s61,692 tons by all
other countries combined. With warships
added, the respective amounts aggregated
1510,SS5 and 1,O53,792. In the last three
years, however, says Consul Sawter, for
eign countries have doubled their output
while England's has increased only 80
per cent. The United States last year
led both Germany and France, the
amounts of tons standing respectively,
35S, ,557, 2e0,751, and 165 ,34S.
Germany turned out the largest ship

of over 10000 England built eight big
ships, four being 1900 tons each, and
