Bottom.-A Big Sensation.

Washington-Pre5 Wilson for
mally withdrew his recent acceptance
of honorary membership in the mill
tary order on the Carabao, composed
of regular and volunteer officers of
the Army and Navy who served in the
Philippine Islands during the four
years succeeding the Spanish. .Ameri-
can War. Earlier in the day the Pres.
ident had ordered an investigation of
various satires and travest:es on the
Administration policy towards the
Philippines as portrayed at a banquet
of Carabaos in Washington recently.
The affair was attended by Secretaries
Redfield, Daniels and Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson, Justices McKelna and
Vandeventer OF the United States SUI
preme Court, many members OF Con
gress and hundreds of Army and Navy
officers. The demand for an investi-
cation. together with intimations from
the White House that court martials
and severe reprimands would not be
surprising as result. caused n sensa-
tion in Army and Navy circles.
The incident first came TO tine Pres.
idents attention when he read ac-
counts of ii in the newspapers.
Through his secretary he communicat.
ed with various members OF the Cabi.
net expressing his indignation that of.
ficers OF the Army and Navy should
sing songs containing profane cpl
thets toward people whom the Unit
ed States was endeavoring to assist
to self-government and civilization.
No effort, according to White House
official, had been made TO keep the
banquet private affair. copies of the
songs and descriptions of the traves-
ties showing opposition to the Admin
istration's Philippine policy being Civ
en- to the press generally in advance.
Ii was made plain at the White House
that while a general burlesGue of the
Administration peace policies and
thrusts at Secretary Bryan and others
were deeply resented because they
came from Army and Navy officers.
the chief objection was TO the spirit
OF hostility shown to Philippines in
dependence as being worked out by
the Administration.
Secretaries Daniels and Garrison
conferred at length on the subject
and called on Rear Admiral Thomas
7. Howard, L. S. N, and Mai. Gen.
James Aleshire, u. S. A, the two high.
est officers OF the Carabaos, for an
explanation. They promised to give
