while caneless throngs look on with
curiosity and some degree Of envy.
the "alpenstock promenaders' troop
jarntily along Connecticut avenue and
other fashionable boulevards these au-
tumn afternoons. The American Min
lister TO switzerland and his daughter
are responsible for the new fad IN
walking canes. and It required about
twenty-four hours for social Washing
ton TO acquire the alpenstock habit
A few afternoons ago Minister Bou-
tell and Miss Alice Gates Boutell swung
down Connecticut avenue carrying the
long canes Identified with picturesque
Switzerland and the Alps. Society
noted that the spectacle was pleasing,
and -differcnt,. and. Immediately, pre-
pared TO follow suit. The aipenstOck
habit was catching, and Dupont Circle
soon resembled a Swiss park as the
make-believe mountain climbers threw
away the conventional short cane.
Miss Katherine Elkins. the Misses
Meyer. Mrs. Meyer. Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth. and others socially promi-
nent are among those who have taken
fancy to the long STATS, and the

Washington several years ago.
Both Miss Boutell and her father are
advocates Of the outdoor life, and the

poses Views of Charles
A. Reynolds. =

Divergent Views over the mooted
question of the Filipino's fitness for in
dependence are expressed by Charles A.
Reynolds, now Of the Department OF
Justice and former governor OF the AL
bay Province in the islands, and Jacob
Gould Schurman. United States Minister
to Greece, whose utterances are being
discussed today.
Mr.. Reynolds, speaking before the
Washington Secular League yesterday
afternoon, asserted that "the Filipinos
are no more qualified for conducting an
independent government Of their own
than our high school boys are qualihed
to go to Congress and make our lawe."
Minister Schdrman, on the other hand,
qualities as an advocate of Philippine
a current issue OF "The Filipino Peo-
pie," a magazine opposed to continued
American rule In the islands.
The attitude of Minister Schurman,
former president of Cornell University,
is at variance with certain Administra-
ton officials, notably Secretary Stim-
son, who has declared that the Filipinos
are not ready, and will not be ready
for q number OF years. to assume the
burdens OF self-governmeat
Minister Schurman's views are ex-
pressed in a letter written to Congress

independence to the islands at the ex.
piration of eight years, during which
time 1t is proposed this Government
shall relinquish gradually its control
over the islands.
In his address before the Washington
Secular League. Mr.. Reynolds profess
ed to speak from ftrst-hand acquain-
tance with the Filipinos. He held that
the United states cannot let the islands
go. but must hold and develop them. He
favored granting independence to the
Fiiipinos eventually, after they shall
have shown their fitness for 1t.

BARS GIFTS TO OFFICERS.
War Department Discountenances
Presents From Militiamen.

The acceptance by officers OF the
army on duty with the organized
militia Of medals or presents OF any
sort from militia organizations or the
members of such organizations is
officially discountenanced by the War
Department officials. In announcing
the departments action Gen. A. L.
Mills, the new chief Of the militia divi-
sion. says that while the practice of
receiving presents from persons not
in the military establishment nor in
the employ of the government, in
recognition of services. is not express
ly forbidden. 1t is opposed to the spirit
Of section 1874. Revised Statutes.
''The acceptance. says Gen. Mills. ''of
medals or presents OF any sort from
members or organizations OF the
OF ganized militia by officers on duty
with them under War Department
orders might possibly place the re-
cipient under obligations al variance
with the best interests Of the service:
and further IL the giving Of medals or
presents in such cases were sanctioned
or approved by the War Department II
would be likely to lead to q custom
which militia organizations would feel
constrained to follow; and officers
might feel that their services were not
appreciated II not recognized in some
such way on the conclusion Of their
detail with any particular troops with
which they had been associated. For
these reasons the War Department dis
approves the acceptance by officers OF
the army on duty with the organized
militia Of medals or presents OF any
sort from members or organizations
thereof"
