CIVIL RULE GAINS IN
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

Withdrawal of the American troops
from the Moro province, Philippine
Islands, and the appointment of a civil
instead of military governor. are men,
! in the Philippine government during the
year in the annual report of Gen. Frank
Mcintyre, chief Of the :, Bureau of
Insular Affairs, to the Secretary Of
War.
While not required by the act Great
ing the Moro province" the report says,
the army officer commanding the
troops stationed within the province had
since its organization been invariably
appointed governor thereof. 1t was felt
that such progress had been made in
the establishment of law and order in
the province as no longer to require a
military man as governor, or, in fact,
to require the stationing within that
province of American soldiers The
appointment Of Frank w. Carpenter as
governor of the province has met with
general approval, it is declared in the
report.
Decrease in Philippine imports is held
to be due to a good crop of rice in the
Islands, rather than to depression in
trade. A big decline in exports, due to
the falling off of sugar shipments to the
United States, was reported. Education

such collections of $3.2S3,547.34 as
against s4,112.735.16 in the preceding

tion the report says:

sued the small advantage they gained

luctantly retiring foe.
British Troops Suffer.
At a point where the bulk OF the
British troops formed part of the al
lies line the fighting was furious and
some of the most famous English,
Scottish and Irish regiments, includ-
ing the Guards and the Highlanders,
suffered severely. They performed the
task set for them unfiinchingly, ad-
vancing and occupying some of the
advanced German positions, but at
terrible cost

than ten times with remarkable tie,
nacity and intrepidity, but were un'
able to break through the firm line
presented by the allies infantry.
The fight just before daybreak was
the most violent of all. The Germans
appeared to throw into the charge all
that remained OF their energy, but
were rolled back with enormous
losses.
Before retiring behind their big
guns they sacrificed many of their
number, displaying resolution which
approached desperation. A vigorous
counter-attack from the allies ensued
during which a small extent of ground
was gained.
More Furious Than Ever.
The night of the 18th was relative
ly calm along the front, but next day
the fighting became more furious than
ever. During the darkness operations
are rendered difficult owing to the re
luctance of the opposing commanders
to use searchlights, which might ex
pose their positions.
After this stage Of the fight was con
cluded the Germans appeared to re
tire about seven miles. During the
combat the adversaries in many in

British Divisions In France.
Speaking in the house of lords, Field
Marshal Earl Kitchener revealed the
strength of the British expeditionaTy
force in France and described what
he believed must be done to assure a
successful issue of the conflict. A
steady flow of re-enforcements was re-
quired, he said.
There were already in France, the
secretary of war said, rather more
than six divisions of British troops
and two divisions of cavalry, which
were being maintained at their full
strength.
Further regular divisions and add
tional cavalry were being organized
from units drawn from over seas gar
risons, which were now being occupied
by territorials and volunteers. A di-
vision of territorials already had left
for Egypt, a brigade had gone TO
Malta, and a garrison force to Gibral-
tar.
President Answers Protest.
President Wilson, in two important
utterances, gave the American people
an object lesson in practicing the
strict neutrality on tissues of the great
war which he preached in his recent
proclamation.
Replying to Emperor Williams
cablegram charging that the French
are using dumdum bullets and defend
ing the destruction of LouVain, the
president explained that true Ameri-
can neutrality precludes an express
sion of opinion on acts of the bel
ligerents by either himself or the peo-
pie Of the United States.
Mr. Wilson replied in practically
identical language to the representa-
tions by the commission of Belgian
officials that atrocities were commit

Bordeaux-The minister of the in

day that the famous cathedral of
Rheims had been destroyed and all
the other historic and public build
ings either laid in ruins or seriously
damaged during the bombardment of
Rheims by the German artillery.
The structures which the minister
said had been destroyed or ruined
included in addition to the cathedral,
the twelfth century church of st.
Jacques, the fifteenth century arch
bishops palace, and the city hall, dat
ing from the seventeenth century.
NJ Malvy said that official reports
revealed that the cathedral was in
flames, the burning having begun Sat
urday as a result of ceaseless bonn
bardment.
If the reported destruction of the
cathedral of Rheims is true. it is the
greatest loss from an historical and
artistic sense of the present war. Be
