DR.. POND IN PHILIPPINES
Wins Distinction by Improving Health
Conditions on Islands.

SSU0iAlOio w
Because DR.. Arlington Pond, for
merly of Rutland is too busy ac-
complishing big things in the Phil
y. ines, and too modest to report his
ements even to his family, it
is oh.y through Vermont citizens
who are located in the eastern islands
that his relatives and old friends
learn of what he is doing for the
health and prosperity OF his chosen
home land says the Rutland News.
Leslie f. Stevens, formerly of that
city, who was for time lieutenant
of the constabulary on Cebu island
wrote his mother, who resides on
North Main street, that DR.. Pond is
"the most prominent man in Cebu"
and that his work in the hospitals and
health departments of the islands is
among the greatest accomplishments
in the work of that part OF the world.
The wife of Maj. Henry w. Hovey.
an ex-Vermonter, who, before his
death, was a commandant of various
departments Of the Philippines, in her
lectures before Vermont audiences
says that she is sure this state does
not appreciate the place that Dr. Pond
has won for himself for he is one OF
the greatest factors in the eastern is
lands.
DR.. Pond has refused number of
times to accept the chief medical
position of the Philippines as he pre-
ferred to retain his present position
as president Of the board OF health
Of Cebu and the southern islands.
This decision was reached because
of his large interests in Cebu and
his devotion to his home island for
an acceptance OF the higher position
manila.
AS a side issue the former Rutland
man operates three large drug stores
in cities near his home. For pastime
he is running a big cocoanut planta-
tion on which there are 10000 trees
A sheep ranch is taken care of during
spare moments.
For amusement he still keeps up
his Vermont record as an athlete, for
in college days he was famous base
ball player. In Cebu he holds the
championship for gulf, tennis, billiards
and pool, and, what is more of dis.
tinction, he has so won the hearts of
the English citizens that he has been
elected president of the English club.
This honor can only be appreciated
when it is known that he was the first
American ever made a member of the
board Of directors.
But the greatest honors have been
conferred upon him by the govern
ment for DR.. Pond has been sent by
the government officials to China to
study health conditions and the treat
ment of the eastern scourges. cholera,
typhoid and similar diseases. Only
recently he was presented an automo-
bile by the province in appreciation of
his successful work in his charitable
| eye cinic.
Through Dr. Ponds efforts the
pleer hospital in Cebu 0as con
demned and burned, and a small is.
land off the coast was secured and
devoted to the isolation and care of
patients i'll with the disease.
At last reports the doctor had dis.
covered 20O0 cases on the island and
these had been removed to the station
devoted to this purpose where through
DR.. Ponds instrumentality, the new
hospital was built.

Rumania's entrance into the war on

dinand has ordered a general mobili-
cation of his forces and is reported to

Unofficial advices from the Ru-

the Rumanians are making furious
efforts to capture passes in the east
ern Carpathians leading into Hungary
and already they are declared to be
fighting shoulder to shoulder with
Russian troops coming from mBulko-
wilma. While Berlin says that Ru-
mania's attempts to pierce the pass
leading to Hermannstadt and the
Toerzburger and Toemoes passes thus
far have been futile, Vienna admits
that owing to "far-reaching encircl-
ing movement by strong Rumanian
forces" Austrian advanced detach-
ments have been forced to withdraw

Has Another Think Coming.

ct cannot believe that the splendid
spirit which has been shown here to-
day is a mere passing enthusiasm. !
hope II means that the people Of your
State realize that the success OF the
Republican party In national AFFAIRS
will advance the welfare Of the nation.
their own state, and their own homes"
Thus spoke Mr.. Hughes at Lexington.
II the one hundred per cent. candidate
really believes his own words he has
another think coming. Kentuckians
are usually polite to visitors and show
them courtesy but they do not accept
as truth everything that Is told them.
Mr.. Hughes is likewise mistaken about
enthusiasm. II was not great to begin
with and was entirely manufactured
by the campaign committee and Its
hirelings. There is nothing about Mr..
Hughes or his speeches to enthuse
over, and he who seems to slop over
on them does so either for pay or FOR
pretense. Kentucky generally Is
pretty well satisfied with conditions
under Wilson and cannot be made to
realize. II such a realization we're pos
sible, that return of the Republican
party to power would advance their
welfare. They believe that return OF
that party to the control Of the gov.
eminent means a return to special
privileges by the taxation Of many for
the benefit Of the few. Nay, Mr.. Hughes
do not permit yourself to be fooled
Kentucky mag be doubtful sometimes
but there is no doubt about her this
time, she is for Wilson first. last and
all times.
The central record. (Lancaster, Ky.) 18??-current, 1916-09-14
The Colonel Disguised.

Authentic report Is that Colonel
Roosevelt is much more obsessed with
the desire to defeat Wilson then the
election OF Hughes. which he regards
ss a secondary consideration. The
Colonels antipathy for Wilson Is be
cause OF the fact that the president has
eclipsed him In the service OF the
country and relegated him from the
front page and from the limelisht. II
IL also said that Roosevelt is dissst'
isfied with the Hughes performance In
the west. that he Is almost ready to
quit playing second fiddle In the swat
ay campaign, as he calls 1t. Instead
OF talking Americanism. he says
Hughes talks civil service reform
and instead OF denouncing the German
American alliance. denounces extrava'
sance In governmental expenditure. He
believes he has been tricked and Ii
,lmost ready TO quit. The Democrats,
iowever. will object as he Is max
ng more votes for Wilson than II 10
POSSIBLE for him to make for Hughes.

The President Turned the Trick

Candidate Hughes is greatly wor-
ried over the way the president sue
ceeded in averting the railroad strike
and deplores the passage of laws In
advance OF investigation. He is. there.
fore, attempting to belittle the whole
business, but he will have his labor
for his pains. AS Grover Cleveland
said on one occasion, "A condition and
not a theory" confronted Mr. Wilson.
and he did what the whole country ap-
plauded him for doing. The Republi-
cans tried to embarrass the President
in the matter. but he turned the trick
and came out more than a victor and
made himself more solid with the
people. The laboring people especially
are singing the praises Of the man who
meets every emergency manfully and
successfully.
