MEAUx, by automobile to Paris,
Nov. 30.-General Joffre, commander
in chief OF the French army, received
me with other correspondents of neu-
trail countries appointed to make a
tour OF the battle front at the city
hall here today. He made special
trip from his headquarters for that
purpose and in an interview stated
that the cause Of France was for the
neutral countries of the world.
France did not desire the war"
the commander of the French army
said. 'It was thrust upon her, but
now the nation Is prepared for any
sacrifices and she will do her duty to
the absolute end until final success
crowns her Efforts
General Joffre said we had undoubt-
edly been able to observe the excel
lent spirit Of the troops at the front.
II hope you have been ;-ble to see
an that you wished to see Of our
fighting forces he added. And then
as he shook hands with us, bidding
us goodbye, he repeated:
"This is war for humanity and
the final triumph will be ours"
General Joffre is man OF action
and not of words. His departure from
his headquarters to meet the party
Of newspaper men from the neutral
countries is therefore unprecedented.
The French commander is a man Of
great personal magnetism, such as is
characteristic of all great leaders. He
is Of medium height and heavy set.
His hair is white as is his large and
dropping mustache His deep, gray,
kindly eyes look forth from beneath
shaggy eyebrows.
With occasional lighting like flashes,
especially when he spoke of the

IPINOS WHO
ARE WILLING TO
WORK FARE WELL
Contention That Little Brown
Brothers. Are III Treated
:, ~. EmphaticaIly Denied

cit is the same Old kick about the
poor Filipinos' being treated as
slaves in Hawaii declared Royal D.
Mead this morning when shown clip
ping from a Manila newspaper. The
articles in question stated that Filipino
plantation laborers in Hawaii were
being. treated worse than slaves and
went on to say that Secretary sKalaw
had been written to and asked to
use his influence to prevent emigra-
tion of laborers from the Philippine
Islands to Hawaii.
Mr.. Mead, after digesting the arti-
Gle, produced a clipping from another
Manila paper, the La Vanguardia,
which prints a story to the effect that
our unfortunate compatriots" in Ha-
waii we're induced to leave their
homes for a far-off land where they
are treated badly. The Filipino pa
per urges that emigration to Hawaii
be stopped, and that the government
at once start an investigation of the
whole matter
"Once again. continued Mr.. Mead,
after discussing the article, Il have
to say that the good, hardworking
Filipino is doing we'll in Hawaii 1t
is the loafer. who seeks for work,
hoping to God that he does not find
it, who is sending all these reports
back to the Philippines. The loafers
wander about from place to place and
never work more than a couple of
days a month. They are always on
the move and never do any good for
themselves"
Captain Paul Smith, who is in
charge of the Territorial immigration
Station, was also shown the newspa-
per clippings. He was emphatic in
his remarks, and declared that while
some FilipinOs are good, hardwOrking
men, a large number Of the little
brown brothers are loafers. who will
lot work steadily at anything.
The immigrants arriving from the
Philippines are but few in number
nowadays, and the number will be
kept down in future to the minimum, ~
said Captain Smith
Captain Smith is leaving for YOkO-
hama with some immigrants who are
being deported. He sails May 16
and will be away about six weeks.

T Telephone Connections Cut to

berS of the Press
FEDERAL SITE NEWS TO
COME FROM WASHINGTON
Treasury Departments Special
Agent Departs With Little
0Stentation, No LeiS>

II J. w. Roberts, special agent of
the Treasury Department, confided to
anyone his opinion with reference to
the federal building site, that person
is yet to be found. Roberts left for
the coast two days ago, without os-
tentation or ,leis.
Mr. Roberts is apparently one of
the mCst modest of men. During the
trifle more than two weeks which he
spent here. his presence in no wise
disturbed the ordinary routine of the
city. He was the guest at no ban
quets. Even the Ad club failed to get
its clutches on him. How he lived,
moved and had his being while here,
even rumor sayeth not. 1t is even
limited that the telephone connection
with his room in the Young hotel was
cut. Certain it is that the socalled
ubiquitous newspaper reporter was
foiled, and few "black heads pro-
claimed his opinions on matters even
remotely connected with federal build
ing sites.
And yet Mr.. Roberts seems to have
covered the field pretty well. His
interviews, however, were not at all
satisfactory to the curiosity, inter-
ested or otherwise, of those interview
ed. The manager of one of the pro-
posed sites held out for consideration,
stated that he had had a pleasant
call from the government architect,
but didn't get an inkling as to his
frame of mind.
Mr.. Roberts" said the business
man, is an excellent listener, but
apparently a poor talker. In fact, the
proverbiaI clam is hardly in the same
class with him. He was most pleas
ant, and I told him all l could, but
he didn't tell me anything. He didn't
even give me a hint favorable or 9TH
erwise. / wish did know, for I con-
fess TO a very lively curiosity on the
subject"
The general impression seems to
be that Roberts will recommend the
Irwin site. which was the one most
prominently favored locally next to
the original Mauka site, which is now
apparently out of the running. 1t Is
understood that this site is still
available on practically the original
terms offered
4s Roberts will reach Washington
probably by the 10th of May, and the
first authentic information concern
ing the location of Honolulu's federal
building will probably come from
there after he has made his re-
port to the secretary of the treasury.
