W. Cameron Forbes, Governor General
of the Philippine Islands, says of Fred
erick Chamberlin's new book, THE Phil
ippine Problem" which deals with The
American occupation down u the present
time: II feel that Mr.. ChamberiIn has
made a careful and painstaking study OF
the Philippine situation and has present.
ed a very fair and weil-tnought-out view
OF the situation. II is remarkable that
a man not a resident Of the islands
should have obtained such a grasp OF
the work being done in the Philippirs
Islands by America as Mr.. Ohamberlin
has succeeded in doing."

quotes the LETTER written after her ar
rival in Brussels: He Is professor of
rhetoric. a man OF power as to mind,
but very choleric and irritable in tem-
permanent. . A little black being,
with a face that varies in express
sion. Sometimes he borrows the Iinea-
ments of an insane tomcat. sometimes
those OF a delirious hyena; occasionally,
bHt seldom, he discards these peril
