GEN. PERSHING COMMENDED,
Governor General Forbes Approve:
His Course Against FiIipinos.

Governor General Forbes stands squarely
behind Gen. Pershing in his decision to
crush the recalcitrant Moros by over
whelming force. Today the insular bu-
reau received cablegram from the gov
ernor with reference to the recent capture
of the Moro stronghold of Bagsak, on the
Island OF Jolo, in which he says:
1T is my firm conviction that Gen.
Pershing exhausted all the virtues of
patience before taking the last drastic
action Of proceeding against the outlaws
with armed force; that this action was
necessary in the interests OF good govern
ment, and that he has handled the situa-
ton with 6agacity and skill. I hope that
this willlbe the end Of all trouble in that
island"

SEARCH FOR HARDY PLANTS
IN RUSSIAN TERRITORY
Frank N. Myer, Agricultural Ex-
plorer, Finds Specimens in ST.
IBERIA and Manchuria,

Word has been received at the Depart
ment of Agriculture from Frank N. Myer.
one of the agricultural explorers who re-
Gently spent two years in the interior of
Siberia and Manchuria in a search for
hardy plants, and who returned last Fall
to China, where he is now on a rather
long hike" across the Chinese prov
inces. He was In Shantung province
when the letter was written, and was
about to start for kansu. one Of the
northern provinces, which is botanically
an entirely unknown country.
Some of the first specimens that have
been received from Mr.. Myer are Chinese
juju'bes, which grow in that region to the
size Of plums. and are used very largely
as stewing fruit. One of the other
specimens that he secured is Chinese
elm. which is both cold-resisting and
drought-resisting. 1t grows out of doors
in northern China. where the winters are
extremely severe and the snowfall is
very scanty. Mr.. Myer has sent to the
department also a number of photo
graphs of the big Chinese persimmons,
several varieties of which are now being
experimental with in this country.
