TROUBLE IN TIME OF WAR.
Gen. Clarence r.. Edwards Says
Foreign Power Could Take
PhiIIipines.

Much discussion has been arous-
ed in official and army and navy
circles over the admission of Gen.
Clarence R, Edwards, chief of the
bureau of insular affairs, before
the senate committee on finance
that the United States would have
to surrender the Philippines at once
in case of war with first class
foreign power, taking the chance of
| recapturing them afterwards, if It
defeated it's opponent.
| number of eminent authorities
| Disagree with General Edwards
lThey declare that it would be posi-
lille for the United States to hole
the stragetic points on the island
il which would be equivalent to hold
ing all of the islands, since
y would do a foreign power no goot
= to capture unfortified and unimpor
= tant places.
General Edwards did not advo
cate giving up the islands, but tc
the contrary declared emphatically
that the loss of the islands in case
OF war would be but temporary. He
said that the United States would
certainly eventually vanquish its
opponents, and that then the islands
lcould be regained.
Rear Admiral n c. Twining,
chief of the ordance bureau in the
navy department, declared that, in
his opinion it would be perfectly
possible for the United States to
hold the Philippines against any
foreign power, with the defenses
now being built and those planned.

Gordon recently. "This is especially

deed, so remarkable is this collection
that the New Zealand museum at We'll

The New Zealand exhibit includes
many weapons, tools, clothing, uten-

quietly up into the mountains For
some time their patience was re-
warded only with disappointment,
but at last one morning they came
upon party Of the little men. The
Negritos dropped the bundles of rat
tan they were carrying and con-
cealed themselves in the under
growth.
The German and his men knew
exactly what they were to do in such
a case. They were not to 60 an
inch in pursuit. No weapon was
to be shown. One Of the men who
could speak little of the native
dialect, aired his Accomplishment in
the gentlest way. The white man was
their good friend and had come to
see them. And what wonderful
presents he had brought for his
friends! The white man and his
servants extended their arms, which
were loaded with bright cottons,
strings Of beads, many colored neck
laces, tobacco, and other tempting ar
ticles whose merits were extolled by
the spokesman with all the eloquence
he could command.
They knew the natives were be-
hind the bushes looking at the tempt
ing sight and listening to the ex-
hortation. Then the visitors sat
down, still holding out the beautiful
presents. Finally an old man, the
leader of the party, stuck his head
out of the bush. He broke off a green
twig and held it up. It was sign
of peace and the white man nodded
to him. The ice was broken. The
Negrito approached the European

presents were distributed and the
visitors became the guests of the lit
tie mountaineers. They were passed

Uzhitse, Servia.-One cannot help
wondering during wartime what the
children of the belligerent nations
think about it all. How do the panics,
the carnage, the firing of guns appear
to their. young minds?
It is fairly easy to answer this ques-
ton so far as Montenegro is concern
ed, for from the earliest age children

The Montenegrins are a stern race,
and the fathers, though devoted to
their children, do not believe in pam
pering them. Indeed, discipline is
strictly maintained in the home.
But l shall not easily forget the face
of Prince Mirko, the second son of
King Nicholas, and the idol of the ma
ton, when he told me of the death of
his two children. They caught typhoid
fever in Nice and died within a few
days of each other.
"Have you any children?" he asked
me.
"None," replied.

that" said he, "for you will never go

RELICS OF SAVAGEs
Objects to Be Found in Pennsyl-
vania University Exhibit.
Arts Are Of New observation-disclosures
and Implements of War Were
Once Used by CannibaI An
cestors Of Civilized PEOPLE.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The University
of Pennsylvania museum is making a
special effort to secure as many COL
1ections and as much data from the
islands of the South Pacific as is pos
sible, and Director Gordon is spering
neither time nor money in securing
additions to the present South Sea ex-
hibit. The reason for this is that
antiques and relics Of the aborigines
OF that part of the world are extreme
ly rare and can he obtained only, at
the greatest difficulty and expense.
When the South Sea islands were
first discovered by Capt. Cook, the ma
t1ves had we'll developed artistic
sense and made many beautiful
things, but with the colonization Of
the islands by Europeans and the
coming of western customs native arts
at once became extinct Fortunately.
the early travellers brought to Europe
numerous collections which have, for
the most part, remained in private
hands to the present day. Now, how
ever, they are gradually finding their
way to continental auction rooms,
where they are publicly sold.
The university museum is keeping a.
sharp lookout for such sales and has
an agent in London, where most col
lections are sold. He has special in
structions to watch for the sale of
South Pacific collections and buy
them for the University of Pennsyl-
vania, the cost not being considered.
In the last few months he has Sc
cured some very valuable material
and is now on the trail Of more.
