UNREST IN PHILIPPINES

A dispatch from Manila, P. I. states
that from twenty-five to thirty-five
Americans are being dismissed from
office each month in the Philippines, and
natives appointed in their stead. AS
a result of this Philippinization policy {;
business confidence has declined, and no
improvements are contemplated; re-
trenchment is everywhere seen, and
more natives are out of work than ever
before.
Unrest and dissatisfaction are said to
exist in the islands, and some American
residents believe the next few months
will bring serious trouble, if not revo-
luton.

A LAPSE INTO BARBARISM

Zeppelin raids in England have be-
come OF common occurrence. A raid
on the night of September penetrated
the heart of London for the first time,
killing twenty persons, including men,
women, and children, and wounding
eighty-six others. This brought the
total of casualties from Zeppelin raids
to 1872 killed and 349 injured.
The question which presents itself is
this: What does Germany gain by these
Outrages against non-combatant civil
ians and helpless women and children?
What military advantage can she pos
sibly acquire? If the Germans imagine
they are inspiring covering terror
among the English, they are mistaken,
except, perhaps, in the case of children
who might feel the same fear and dread
of tornado or violent tempest. On the
contrary, these raids arouse burning
and deep-seated resentment. 1t is
claimed they have been England's great
est aid in persuading men to enlist.
The only excuse we have heard ad-
vanced is that they are made in retalia-
tion for England's starvation policy
But two wrongs do not make these hei-
nous and sickening outrages against
civilization any the less revolving.
After all excuses are heard and weigh
ed, the only conclusion we can reach is
that they are an almost incredible lapse
into barbarism.

ENGLAND DISTRACTED BY LABOR
TROUBLES

At this inopportune time, England is
torn and distraught with labor troubles.
Lloyd-George, who has gained the tt
tie of the 'Great Awakener," in an ap-
peal to the trade unionists last week,
said: with you, victory is assured !;
without you, our cause is lost"
"The government" he added, "can-
not equip the army at this time unless
the unions suspend, during the war, all
restrictions barring unskilled labor. and
all restrictions tending to prevent a max
imum output. Therefore, there must be
no stoppages. We now need 100000
men to equip arsenals.''
The patriotism Of England laboring
men has been challenged, and George
Lansbury, British labor leader, has made
the following statement in reply to this
charge:
British union men in all lines have
made this offer to their employers:
We will work for pre-war wages if
you will sell what we produce at pre-
war prices
"The British manufacturers have not
accepted this offer. They have chal-
lenged the British workingmen by rails
ing all prices, and by refusing to raise
wages. Then they resorted to the trick
of questioning the patriotism of all work
ers who objected to this arrangement.
'"The British union men are determin-
ed that they will not endure the situa-
tion. They must have more money in
order to live. That is why they are
striking"

VIOLENT ARTILLERY DUELS

The past two weeks have been mark
ed by artillery duels of the most violent
character along the western front.
Two desperate efforts were made by
Germany's Crown Prince to reach the
Verdun-St. Menehould railway, but
without avail. The capture of this line
would cut Verdun off from the west.
The report is current that during
these strenuous engagements, the Crown
Prince did not sleep for three success
sive nights.
The intricacy of the Verdun fortifi-
cations is described as almost beyond
conception. Far beneath the forts, al
most in the bowels of the earth, are
"miles and miles of corridors, filled with
food stuffs, ammunition and the like, in
broad, tall rows" And yet this fort
ress is not considered of supreme impor-
tance. 'It is just one point in the great
system of defensive works which stretch
from the sea to Switzerland"
1t is reported that General Joffre, for
some time the object of criticism, is now
established more firmly than ever in the
confidence of the French people.
