Mr.. Curtiss spent some time at diff

that OF the two countries, China and
Japan, he prefers the latter.

strong willed and determined people

he. Their home life Is ideal and they

Mr.. Curtiss had many interesting
things TO say about the Philippines,
including a timely comment upon the
alleged wonderful future, In the sugar
and hemp industries, Of the islands.
The sugar and hemp industries can
never amount TO great deal for the
simple reason that the native Is too
lazy 10 work, even under q lash, and
Americans simply cannot live In the
climate longer than four years. said
he. Indeed, every American who
stays any length OF time gets his sys-
tenn full OF malaria and the chances
are largely against Kidding himself OF
II, during the rest OF his life.
with the exception OF Manila and
the ports where the government main
tains troops, the islands are largely In
habited by wild tribes. The Morros
especially are exceedingly vicious.
Their religion makes them believe
that only by bodily torture and the
killing and mutilation OF a European
can they find their way TO what stands
for our own heaven. The cost OF keep
ing the islands Is far greater than our
government will ever get out or IL
They are worth nothing except for a
coaling station"
Mr.. Curtiss said that to add to the
Americans supremacy In sports In
China, three American marines enter
ed In a rife competition against AZ
British soldiers and numerous French
and Germans and won the first, second
and third prizes, In a meet held In
Tien Tsin, In the spring.
