 Cannot BeStOw sels-G0yurnmel,t
 Here MT. Taft read from one of President Wilson's books a lengthy definition of government. l. set forth that self-government was mot mere form of institutions, bu! 8 form of character, growing of a people to political maturity"
 "We cannot" said MT Taft "giVe the Philippines elf-goverument be- cause it cannot be done. We cannot present the Filipino people with 2 character. It mus be acquired.
 "One way to acquire it is through hard knocks, as the Anglo-saXon ra co acquired it. When we went to the Philippines we tried to give it ta tae,n by maintaining a constitutional forf' of government as an object lesson and by educating the people in the language of free institutions. We tried to have the government partici pated in, but not controlled by, the natives. You cannot make over :, people in one generation. Particui- arly, you cannot when that is a gen eration of adults and 8 vast majority of that generation is wcefully igno- rant. It cannot be done.
 Glad to Talk Candidiy.
 "Gentlemen, I'm at last in a posi tion where 1 can say just what l think You have called me here; did no ask to come; and I am going to tel you just what l knew about things.
 What time do l think would r necessary to train the Filipinos fo1 self-gcvernment? The time that 'sha. give to these people an opportunity tt learn English so that they shall he an English-speaking people. Tha will take mere than one generation and probably more than two, if yol count 30 years as a generation. Yot can't educate all of the people-yaf haven't got the money.

MOTORS IN ARMY SERVICE
Wonderful System Has Been Evolved
for Transportation Of Supplies
During the War. {.

| Twenty thousand men are now en-
gagged in the mechanical transport Sec
| ton of the British army service
corps on the continent. In addition
to the transport of men, ammunition
and food, motors also serve for am
bulance work, dispatch services
searchlights and gun carriers for anti
aircraft service. Among recent de-
velopments are the motor Kitchens
and motor bath houses.
For reasons of safety the railway
base must be kept we'll in the rear or
the battle line. But the motors prac-
tically continue the railway service
UP to point from which horse trans
ports or other motors can distribute
the supplies.
One of the striking features OF this
war is the motor transport column.
With each vehicle keeping station,
about fifty yards apart. and running
to set speed limit, trains nearly
mile long wind over the roads carry
Ing the hundreds of tons of food ana
ammunition required by the army.
A well-arranged traffic system, with
motorcycle dispatch riders. keeps
these huge conveys under control, and
their smooth working is guarantee
that the men in the trenches are well
supplied. The vast feet Of motor ON
nibuses forms an important part OF
this transport army. and on occa-
sion, says the Sphere. they are USED
to carry men from point to point when
rapid movement is required.
Eyewitness graphically describes
the operations of the motor transport
at the front. This war;" he says,
has at different times been charac'
terized as war of high explosives,
war of howitzers, a petrol war. IN
two senses can the struggle on land
be called a petrol~war. The employ
ment Of this substance in the internal
combustion engine has rendered ava
ton possible. and has also Immensely
simplified the work necessary for the
supply of the army Indeed, to such
an extent has mechanical propulsion,
whether of steam or petroldriven
vehicles, especially the latter, taken
the place of animal traction, that the
change caused may not unfairly be
compared to the revolution brought
about by the introduction of railways

Skv PerjscopeS.

In the cities of Europe that are
liable to be visited by Zeppelin air
ships the watchers on the lookout fol
raiding aircraft have suffered from
stiff necks, and also eye strain from
long continued gazing at the heavens
10 detect hostile aircraft, and to NEE,
this difficulty opticians have devised
special form Of sky periscope. This
instrument is constructed on the same
general principles as those used by
submarines, and the type that hai
been so widely adopted for use in the
trenches on land The device is sim
pie arrangement of mirrors that the
watcher can hold in his hand. and
which enables him to scan the entire
vault of the sky while looking down
in a convenient and natural position
It has been found so convenient that q
