It Is unpleasant to find such man as Gov Hughes of New York attack ing the right of free speech as voicing ~the appeals of hate and envy as well as those of justice and charity. and also free press as '.the instrument of cunning. greed and ambition. as well as the agency of enlightened and in- dependent opinion" Gov. Hughes should. and probably does. know that never was there beneficent agency which could not be. and has not been at times. abused. and that from she two agencies cited the favorable have always overbalanced the unfavorable effects. If Gov.

CONCRETE BATTLESHIP NOW FORTIFIES
 MANILA BAY

Washington. Nov. 17.-One of the most unusual defensive works in the world has been erected by the War Department on Fl Fraile Island. one of the four islands which form a chain across the mouth of Manila Bay. All these islands have been strongly fortf- fled in order to prevent a foreign fleet Island has been built a fixed battle ship of concrete having two steel tur- rets m each of which are mounted two H inch guns These turrets can be trained in any direction by the gun crew inside.
 The original plan for the fortifcation of Fl Fraile contemplated the enlarge ment of the island. which is small and narrow. and the establishment of an ordinary fort. This plan however was abandoned fin favor of the con- crete battleship which has been prac- tically completed. The 14 inch guns mounted in turrets on Fl Fraile are operated by the general fire control station on Corregidor Island. where the principal Notifications of the mouth of the bay are located
 The Qualifications on CorreGidor Is- land are practically completed The guns mounted there comprise six IT inch. one 10 inch. four inch and four 3 inch guns. In addition there are twelve 12 inch mortars and a sub marine mine equipment for mining the regidor Island Is between the two channels. and the fortification works on Corregidor have the additional ad- vantage of natural elevation of about coo feet
 The other islands forming the chain across the entrance to Manila Bay are Carahao. Cabello and Fl Fraile. On Carabao Island two IA inch guns and eight 12 inch mortars have been put. On Cabello Island are two IS inch guns. two 6 inch guns and complete mine plant for mining the adjoining channel.
 The artificial ship on Fl Fraile Is- land will be about 1OO feet wide and 200 feet lonG.

Physicians Offer Free
 Treatment to the Indigen1

Especial from United Press-)
 Manchester. Conn. Nov. 17--It's per fectly proper for the town of Man chester to appoint and maintain a town physician who will attend to- the medical needs of indigent patients but the surgeon appointment does not necessarily mean that other Manches- ter physicians cannot administer free treatment to their hearts content.
 Ten Manchester physicians yesterday took this view. They prepared. signed and circulated a statement. declaring in favor of the appointment of Dr. N. H. Burr. town physician. but thought fully maintaining that indiEent patti ents who are particular about who gives them treatment have the right to be particular and can place them selves in the hands of any physician they may choose. These ten, including Medical Examiner Dr. W. R. Tinker, Dr. c. r. Moore and Dr. H. R. Sharp. all well known in the profession in Connecticut to-day flung wide their office doors. inviting indigents to en- ter and take tho mot a penny of cost" cure.
