BISHOP BRENT'S WORK.

Bishop Brent has consecrated his life
TO this special work of educating and
saving the Moros. His ten years expert
ence in the Philippines has convinced him
that obstacles, believed by many human
itarians 10 be insuTmountable in handling
the Moro problem, can be readily sur
mounted through the agency of hospitals,
trade schools and social service methods.
This is especially true in the case Of the
Moro boys and girls, who are really am
bilious mentally bright. and very clever
10 adapt themselves to conditions, quite
as much so as the japanese. For in
stance. in one section families who were
dwelling in tree tops two years ago now
have comfortable homes in decent villages
and are cutting their grass with Ameri-
can lawn mowers. The telephone. tele-
graph, sewing machine automobile. rail-
road artesian well. farming tools and
other modern inventions are increasingly
welcomed and used by the natives. who
are not devoid of intellectual capacity
and have considerable manual dexterity.
The mats and beadwork of the women,
the brasses and woodwork of the men,
display artistic ability and have real in
trinsic value. even in their crude state.
Since he has made this work with the
,Moros his life duty. Bishop Brent has
been aided by philanthropic people IN
this country and by gifts of money sent
through religious channels. as well as
by the hearty cooperation of the civil,
military and naval authorities in the Phil
ippines. and the loyal devotion OF native
helpers He has erected hospitals, homes
industrial schools. a cathedral. and other
institutions of civilization have been es-
tablished. chiefly in the Island Of Luzon.
To extend humanitarian work among the
wards of the nation In the Moro province,
and TO maintain il properly Bishop Brent
requires an annual guarantee fund. To
secure this fund the friends of Bishop
Brent in this country have created an
organization, which is known as the
National Committee for Upbuilding the
Wards OF the Nation.

New-York tribune., 1913-10-26

HuGE seas hurled three lifeO0ats
against the steel sides Of the
heavily rolling Volturno, smash
ing them to bits, when that unfortunate
steamer became blazing hulk in mid
ocean a few weeks ago. Two more OF
the small boats were, presumably, sent
to the bottom by the mountainous waves
after they had been swept away into the
shrouding mists. More than 13O men and
women who were in those boats lost their
lives.
The rescue ships that had arrived
promptly in response TO a summons by
wireless were able. a few hours later. TO
take of the remaining 5OO-odd persons
aboard the Volturno in small boats. They
Were able TO do this because the tossing
of the waves had grown less violent, and
their turbulence had been still further
softened by pouring food Of oil over
the troubled waters
But there is little reinsurance in the
reflection that. had the Volturno's boats
never left their davits, in all probabil-
ity every soul aboard the burning ship
would have been brought safely ashore.
The story might have been vastly diff
ferent. If the waves had continued or
Increased in violence. there is small
chance that any one aboard the Volturno
would have got oc safe. Why? Be-
cause all the efforts made TO get a line
aboard the floating fre-box proved
fruitless. At one time the Carmania
had man9uvred to point only nrty
yards from the Volturno's stern-but no
line was passed aboard.
The fault. II fault there is. seems TO
lie in dearth of equipment of the ten
rescue ships that lowered about the
vessel whose passengers and crew they
had come to save. IL is astonishing
that not one of those boats possessed
New-York tribune., 1913-10-26

apparatus that could throw a line aboard
the yolturno The United States revenue
service tugs Acushnet and Snohomsh, 1t
Is said, are equipped with a lifeline gun
for which range OF 1000 feet is
claimed. The Acushnet has been sta
toned for some time at Woods Hole
Mass. and the Snohomish at Port An
geles, Wash.
The inventor of this gun, a man named
Hall, declares that its contrivance was
inspired by the wreck of the steamer
Valencia, which went ashore in Puget
Sound. Although the steep. rocky shore
was hardly more than q stones throw
New-York tribune., 1913-10-26

away. while a rescue vessel stood on a
few hundred feet on the other side, no
line could be got aboard the pounding
wreck, and the more than one hundred
persons aboard lost their lives.
The gun which Mr.. Hall says resulted
from this disaster is a breech- loading af-
fair which launches into the air a heavy
weight to which is attached light line.
1t is designed to be mounted on the rail
OF any vessel, and risk OF dangerous re-
coil is overcome, 1t is said, by the special
construction OF this patented device. The
effective range of the gun is said to be
200 feet, which Mr.. Hall declares is $40
New-York tribune., 1913-10-26

feet further than is necessary under
actual working conditions. There is, OF
course, little need to argue the advantage
OF being able to pass a line to or from a
doomed vessel to connect il with the

~ IGHT REV. CHARLES II. BRENT,
Episcopal Bishop of the Philip
Il v pine Islands, who is one OF the
most interesting of the many Church
dignitaries and humanitarians now in
attendance at the great Episcopal con-
vention, has made known the presence OF
new responsibility for the people Of the
United States All patriotic Americans
will. am sure, lie interested in the news
brought by Bishop Brent that in single
province in the Philippines 10000 children
are either dying Of ignorance. poverty
and disease or growing up to be illiterate,
cruel and immoral savages Among the
sOC0OOO natives OF the Philippines about
a million are either wild men Of the hills
or Moro Mahometans. When we took
over the Philippines from Spain we
adopted these people together with the
responsibility for their care.
For ten years past Bishop Brent has
toiled. prayed, written and planned to
bring about the education, salvation and
equipment for life Of the Moros, the little
brown men who constitute the greatest
problem in the Philippines. The Moros
have been In constant rebellion and have
killed many Americans who have gone
TO their country to save them from them
