ARCHBISHOP IRELAND's VISIT.
A Consultation Regarding Religious
Instruction I'm the PhiIipDiues

Archbishop Ireland had long confer
ence with Secretary Root yesterday after
noon, the matter under consideration be-
ing the adoption of the Faribault system
of education in the Philippine Islands.
Under the system agreed on by the Taft
Commission, religious instruction is per-
mitted in the public schools after regular
hours. This religious teaching is by no
means compulsory, and it is left to the
parents of the children to say whether
or not they will receive spiritual training
in addition to secular instruction.
A number of protests have been receiv-
ed at the War Department ever since it
became known that religious instructions
in any form whatever were contemplated
in the Philippines. Yesterday a petition
from the Junior Order of American Me-
chanics was received demanding that the
Taft Commission be instructed to rescind
its order.
The War Department is now arranging
to send one thousand teachers to the
Philippines. and Archbishop ireland is In
terested in the educational systems to be
inaugurated. The prevailing religion in
the Philippines is Catholic. and it is I'M
derstood that majority of the parents
of natives desire to take advantage Of
the religious teaching which is to be given
after school hours.
Archbishop Ireland was retieent as to
the purport of his visit with Secretary
Root, who will be the head of Government
matters in Washington during the Presi-
dent s absence.

The Secretary of War to Give Them
Thirty Days to Return.

The War Department has. within the
last few weeks, been overwhelmed with
reports of assertions at nearly every post
and station where recruiting for the new
infantry and cavalry regiments being
organized under the provisions of the
Army Reorganization bill has been going
on So wholesale and so widespread have
the complaints been that Secretary Root
has decided to try an innovation, and, for
the first time in the history of the United
States Army deserters Will be given thir-
ty DAYS in which to return to their posts
without fear of disgrace or punishment.
Mr. Root holds that as the military
prisons are now filed with material for
good soldiers, there is 10 sense in adding
to the list, and, as the deserters were
well drilled. he will give them a chance
10 return to the ranks. after their little
outing.
The large number of desertions at this
time is attributed by the officials to the
fact that the majority of the men enlist
ed In the hope of seeing some fighting in
the Philippines or of at least being sent
to the archipelago, but the plans agreed
upon are that none of the new regiments
are to be sent TO the Philippines imme-
diately, but from year TO year as other
regiments which have served two years
in the Tropics are returned to the United
States and are replaced by one of the

Always the Secretary OF War, it is said,

honest enough to come back and serve

on foot to offer all soldiers mustered out

there and colombo A certain sum will be
added to the pay and travel allowance
when the men are mustered out in case
they remain in the archipelago and settle
