made in a day but estimated that il
would be some where from ten to
twenty five sales depending upon the
number of circumstances.
In each case the land is to be sold at
public auction, the bidder to put up
five per cent Of the value with min
imum of fifty dollars, and in case the
buyer is not the lessee. he has to pay
cash for the lessee's Improvements.

Philippines Discussed at
Lake Mohonk Conference

Mohonk Lake. N. Y, Oct. 2l.-'The
Philippines" was the subject of the
discussion at the Mohonk conference,
today, both morning and evening
Members Of congress, judges and edu-
Gators and men interested in physical
improvement Of the islands were the
speakers.
Mohonk Lake, October 21.-Arthur
F. Odlin, Of Cleveland. Ohio, formerly
Judge of the Court of First Instance
in the Philippine Islands, today deliy-
cred an address before the Lake Mo
honk Conference of Friends of the In
dian and other dependent peoples, in
which he made the prediction that at
the end of two or three generations
there would be no widespread desire
among the Filipino people to server
the bonds that then bind them to the
United States. We hear each year
less from our own people about our
withdrawal from the islands, Mr.. Odlin
said, and this change of attitude is
due to the fact that the control of the
islands by the United States was an
accident Of war more beneficial to the
masses of the Filipino people than
any other result which might have
followed.
The local cry independence comes
from limited number OF the Fill

friendly toward our government. eager

tance, realize the incapacity of the ma
tiyes for successful self-government.
The possibility of japanese control is
over before them. and as between Am
erican and Japanese control even the
native politicians themselves would in
fnitely favor us. Another element in
the islands comprises the vast masses
of the people who take little or no
