DECLARES JAPAN
WOULD like TO
GET Philippines

Should the United States announce
that it has abandoned the Philip
pines to the Philippine people the
japanese nation would take them over
within six months, according to a
statement credited to Newton Nv. Gil
bert, former -governor-genera 10
Manila, and printed in the Christian
Science Monitor
Japan knows the American people
Go not covet more territory, says the
Monitor, through its Fort Wayne,
Ind, correspondent, and trusts our
well-known American policy of the
open door. but Japan has no intention
whatever Of allowing any European
power to get possession of the Philip.
pines.
Mr.. Gilbert believes that many peo-
pie in the islands dread independence
partly because of the possibility of
Japanese expansion and partly be-
cause of local disturbances. The
priests and the Protestant clergy" he
says, are unitedly for continued
American rule, because they know it
means religious liberty and safety Of
church property. which under native
rule would be in danger.
The Seamen's Law, according to Mr..
Gilbert, has caused American bottoms
on the Pacific to. be transferred to
other flags. Japan he says, HAY.

cific Ocean merchant marine service,
proceeded to raise the rates until now
it costs Sos ton to ship freight
from New York OF Manila The for
mer price was 50 to private shippers,
but the government under contract
paid only 81 a ton.
As to the war, Mr.. Gilbert believes
that, on the whole, it has had a
stimulating effect on insular trade,
but the great difficulty has been to
obtain cargo space.

Gable For Big
Guns Puts Him
In British Jail

How an American salesman with q
German name, selling flour with a
ccntrabrand brand in the Dutch East
Indies, landed in a British jail at Sing
apCre under suspicion of being Ger.
man agent, was related by Paul i.
Carroll. San Francisco businessman.
who passed through Honolulu recently
after six months in the Orient. The
story is told In the Chronicle.
In Java met Chester Fritz, a
salesman for q flour mill, who was
selling a brand known as Big Gun,
with picture OF a huge cannon on
each sack to attract the native eye.
Fritz booked an order for 1000 sacks
at Batavia. When he got to Singa-
pore, he cabled his firm as follows:
Ship 1000 Big Guns to Batavia
Fritz was arrested by the British
about 10 seconds after filing that
cable, and was put in Jail on suspicion
OF being a. German agent.
After two days of arguing and pro-
testing he persuaded sthe authorities
to give him a chance to prove his IN
nocerice. which he did by finding a
merchant who had some OF the flour
in stock. Fritz was released, but he
changed his cable to read plain sacks
of flour instead of Big Guns,

 Consequently, it is admitted that should the allies decline to adopt the American suggestions to disarm mer- chautmen foundercd primarily upon a desire to save the lives of innocent non -cOmbatants. this government can not announce it's approval of the in- tentions of the Teutonic powers to tor pedO without warning after February % all armed vessels. although various high officials are convinced that the position of Germany and Austria are justified
 State department officials are now engaged in trying to determine just what will happen when the command CTS of German and Austrian subma rireS begin to put their new instruc- l tions into effect It iS said, too, the ! United States in the near future may make some inquiries as to how the cen l trul powers intend to determine wheth- er merchantmen encountered by their submarines are armed. i In response to inquiries regarding this aspect it was said tonight by Ten- tonic authorities that the German and Austrian governments would under no consideration disregard the assurances which have been given to the United States in regard to the conduct of sub marine warfars
 { Attention was called particularly to the fact that the German government had assured the United States that liners would not he attacked without being warned These assurances, it was said. had not and would not he repudiated and for that reason liners in service between the United States would not be attacked without warn ing. even if they had defensive arma men aboard.
 Teutonic officials were inclined tc believe that such an issue would not arise as Great Britain has agreed that it's ships entering American water. should not be armed In both diplo. matc and official circles, doubt eyer was expressed that the new policy would in the slightest way affect con- {; dltons in the Atlantic, although 1t wa! f admitted that should the Italian gov , ernment persist in arminG it's merchant men, difficulties might arise in tn. , Mediterranean
