F. Leopold Theodore Has Long
"Roast" for Resident Com
missioner Who Was Here

When Manuel QueZon, resident COM
missioner of the Philippines In the
United States, left Hawaii on the Pa
cific Mail liner Mongolia In April, he
left behind him a large body OF his
fellow-countrymen who considered
that he had sighted and neglected
them, says the Manila Times OF May 4.
This found expression in a letter
which was written to Mr.. Quezon by
r. Leopold Theodore, young Filipino
who is working for the Commercial
Advertiser in Honolulu, and Is also the
director of the publicity committee OF
the Filipino Y. M C. A. there. X
The communication opens with a
statement that Filipinos in Hawaii feel
as do Filipinos in the Philippines on
the question OF independence. This
is followed by a paragraph in which
regret is expressed that Mr.. Quezon
should have treated his fellow-coun-
trymen in Hawaii during his short
stay lin most perfunctory way, in
most grouchy manner," while he per-
mitted himself to be entertained by
the Hawaiian Planters Association.
This, says Mr.. Theodore, has induced
the American people of Hawaii to
think: SIS this the way to be the
highest leader of the Fflipinos who
never did treat his people in Hawaii
the way he ought to do%
1T has led the people of Honolulu"
the letter goes on, ito believe that you
are not the right man on the job"

Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ga, July 22.-Convicts
in the Atlanta federal prison will be
put to work making war supplies for
the United States army if plans now
being considered by the department Of
justice are carried out-but they will
not make explosives.
Attorney General Gregory states that
the conyicts could be used to advant-
age in making shoes, uniforms, sad
dies, harness and other supplies, but
there are too many short term conyicts
insufficiently skilled to manufacture
projectiles and arms. He did not say
he doubted the wisdom of trusting con"
victs with enough explosives to blow
up prison, but this might readily be
inferred.
Mr.. Gregory discussed this plan
with Warden Zerbst upon a visit to
Atlanta recently, and is expected to
return soon to go more thoroughly in
to the plan.

LIGHT INFANTRY
PREPARING FOR
ANNUAL OUTING
TENTS WILL BE PITCHED UPON
RIFLE RANGS.

The Americus Light Infantry will
have its annual encampment this sum-
mer, but instead of going to the noun
tains or seashore, as usual, will en-
joy "all the comforts of home" in, a
white city of tents which will rise up
in day near the company's fine rife
range just beyond the grounds of the
Country club. Details of the en-
campment are being worked out by
Captain James Fort and officers of the
A. L. |. and will be announced soon.
Forty or fifty khaki-clad troopers
will thus go to camp for week and
the boys will enjoy the outing here,
just as much as they would trip t,
st. Simon's strand down by the sea.
A date early in August will be Sc
lected for the encampment Hard by
is the company's model rifle range,
among the best in the South, where
the men will further perfect themselves
in the use of the army Springfield. A
fine stream is near at hand, affording
excellent facilities for bathing, AMI
the camp site will be an ideal one in
every respect.
1t is proposed to have an instructor
from the regular army assigned to
duty here during the encampment who
will keep tab on the target practices
and instruct the men therein. Shoot
ing for record will be a feature of
the encampment, and excellent scores,
as upon previous occasions, will be re-
corded. Good cooks will serve tempt
ing meals to the "Old Guard" and the
week will pass only too quickly.
The Light Infantry is the crack COM
mand of the Second regiment, and dur
ing the encampment it is expected that
several of the regimental officers will
be its guests here and inspect the
troops upon the range.
