What And How
Much We drink.

According to the American grocer,
1927 ,674,9I5 was the amount ex-
pended last year on account of the
nations drink bill, so called. Uf
this sum about sc per cent was spent
for alcoholic stimulants, to wit: 80 per
cent for beer, 80 per cent for whiskey
and 4 per cent for wines. Reduc-
ing the quantity Of tea and coffee
used to its equivalent AS beverage,
il is found that more gallons of
coffee are consumed than any other
sort of drink, viz, l,257, ,9S5, ,296
gallons, against ! ,22l 800, 100 gallon 8
of beer, the next in the list of drink
ables. The above represents a year
ly per capita expenditure for bever-
ages of s1G.17 for the G7,304, ,709
inha a5itants of the Uoited States. or
little less than a cents per day.-Ex.

Aguinaldo's Address to
The Filipino People,

Manila, April l9.-Following is
Aguinaldo's address to the Filipino
people, made public this evening.
II believe / am not in error N pre-
sulning that the unhappy fate to
which my adverse fortune has led me
is not surprise to those who have
been familiar with the progress of the
war. The lessons taught with full
meaning, and which have recently
come to my knowledge, suggest with
irresistible force that complete term
nation of hostilities and lasting
peace are not only desirable, but alb
solutely essential to the welfare Of
the Philippine Islands.
"The Filipinos have never been dis
mayed a. their weakness, nor have
they faltered in following the path
pointed out by their fortitude and
courage The time has come, how.
ever, in which they find their advance
along this path to be lmpeded by an
irresistible force, which, while it re-
strains them, yet enlightens their
minds and opens to them another
course, presenting them the cause of
peace. This cause has been joyfully
embraced by the majority Of my fel-
low countrymen, who have already
united around the glorious sovereign
banner of the United States. In this
banner they repose their trust and be-
lief that under It's protection the Fill.
pino people will attain all those prom
ised liberties which they are beginning
to enjoy. The country has declared
Enthusiastically in favor of peace.
So be it. There has been enough
blood enough tears and enough
desolation. This wish cannot be ig-
nored by the men still in arms If they
are animated by \ desire to serve our
noble people, which has thus clearly
manifested its will. So do respect
this will, now that it is known to me.
"After mature deliberation | reso.
lutely proclaim to the world that l
cannot refuse to heed the voice Of a
people longing for peace. nor the Ia
mentations of thousands of families
yearning TO see their dear ones en-
joying the liberty and the promised
generosity of the great American ma
ton.
"By acknowledging and accepting
the sovereignty of the United States
throughout the Philippine archipelago
rs now do and without any rcserva.
ton whatever, | believe. that | am
serving thee, my beloved country.
May happiness be thine"
TO signalize this important step
in the pacitication Of the country,
General Mac Arthur orders the release,
on swearing allegiance to the United
States, of 1000 insurgent prisoners.

Ex-senator Towne's
View of the Manifesto

Kansas City, April 19.-The Journ-
al tomorrow will say:
Ex-senator Charles A. Towne was
shown copy of Aguinaldo's procla-
nation last hight He said:
at is clearly the utterance of a
man who yields to force only, and
considering the occurrences Of the
past two years it constitutes one of
the most pathetic incidents in history.
l see nothing in the proclamation on
which to base any imputation on the
good faith of Aguinaldo. There is,
however, an expression that some
what alters my opinion of his astute-
ness based on his previous conduct
He says that the Filipino people will,
under the sway of the United States,
obtain sall promised liberties
"Hc cannot have forgotten the as
VI ONuCL ~ k1uuCl sui ia lCJO
as to the justice with which our al
lies against Spain would be treated
or the solemn promises of the benev-
olent assimilation.
"One thing should be borne in
mind; the surrender of every hostile
force in the Philippines and the alb
solute acceptance of our dominion
throughout the archipelago does not
dispose of the question involved in
the acquisition and government by
this republic of distant colonial de
Tendencies. Wrong as the policy is,
and cruel as it is against the Filipinos,
it is UNANIMOUSLY more wrong ana
cruel from the standpoint of the wei

vania. The news of the world will BE-
found in the Dispatch every morning,
special correspondents and alliances
with other papers providing the means
to thoroughly cover every news source
in the universe.
The Sunday edition of The Dispatch
is conceded to be the leader in it's line.
With special articles by the foremost
writer's, illustrations that are appropri-
ate and well executed, together with
the latest ideas in Typography. it is un'
doubtedly the journal for excellence.
The large and increasing circulation Is
evidence that it is what it claims to
be.
The Home Study Circle which has
been feature of the Daily Dispatch for
several years, has been succeeded by the
Current Topic Club. 1t is worthy
successor of the Home Study Circle and
is the best feature of it's kind in the
journalism of today. Leading men and
women of letters, art, science and bust
ness will contribute to this department
of The Dispatch, which will be more
popular than was the Home Study Cir
Gle with it's wealth of information.
In all departments The Dispatch is
complete, nothing being left uncovered
and so popular is it that in thousands
of homes to speak of newspapers is to
think of The Pittsburg Dispatch.
