LIBERTY CAMPAIGN DROPPED
Plans for independence of Philippines
Abandoned.

Washington. May 9.-Marniel Que
zon, Philippine commissioner, who has
been urging Philippine independence,
has told President Wilson that he and
his followers had abandoned the idea
of freedom in the near future and
hoped Congress would pass the House
bill giving a greater share of self gov
ernment to the islands but setting no
date for independence.
Mr. Quezon urged the President to
support the House bill and not insist
upon the Clark amendment approved
by the Senate which would give inde-
pendence by 1920. T. R. Yangoo, pres
ident of the Philippine chamber of
commerce, saw the President with Mr..
Quezon. The whole question was dis.
cussed at length and the President
promised to consult with Senate and
House leaders.

The Grand Opera Chorus.

acted as they sang and made all the
Fairies and the other guests at the
Concert laugh hard
But best Of all was the Band. 1t
was new Band the Robins had just
started and they were very proud Of it.
1t was great surprise to the Fairies
for they didn't know the Robins had
any Band. AS you can guess, the Rob-
ins had worked hard for a big sur
prise for the Fairies. Ten little Rob-
ins played the drums-which were lit
tie twigs from the apple tree, there
were little Spring leaves through
which some Of the others whistled
tunes, and the rest played horn-shaped
Flowers.
After the Concert was finished and
the Fairies had clapped and clapped
and waved their wands with delight,
and the little Robins had bowed and
bowed-and fallen down sometimes
making too low bows-they all had
breakfast. Such q breakfast! The
most luscious of Worms for the little
Robins and special dish for the
Fairies Of Spring porridge. which
Grandmother Robin had made, and
which the Fairies called DE.
LICIOUS.'"

ROBINS SPRING CONCERT.

"The Robins gave their Spring Con-
cert the other morning for the Fairies,
said Daddy. "They give one every
year just after most Of their Family
have arrived for the Summer. 1t is
one Of the biggest events of the Spring
in Fairyland and they are so excited
about 1t for days ahead that they can
talk about nothing else"
Il am not surprised they had a Con-
cert" said Nancy, 'as I'm sure I've
heard them practicing for it on the
mornings when I've been awake very
early"
Nick laughed hard at that, for he
didn't think Nancy ever woke up very
early. He did now and then when he
went off on fishing trips with Daddy,
but such trips were very few, and on
the whole, he thought, the early morn
ing was a pretty nice time to sleep.
Well" said Daddy they may have
been finishing their practice when
you've heard them Nancy, for they've
practiced so hard and so long. that the
day has been quite far gone many a
time, when some little Robin has been
trying over and over again some i'm
portant trill which he was going to
sing alone.
But the Concert was given just at
dawn. Mr.. Sun came for it, looking as
fine as any King with very dazzling
golden crown on his head. Then the
Dew Drops came and had reserved
seats on the little blades of grass.
Some of the early Butterflies were in
vited and the little Spring Garden
Flowers opened their sleepy eyes and
waved about, keeping time with the
music.
First Of all was the grand opening
chorus. Mr.. Robin Red Breast had
little stick with which he beat time,
and all the Robins sang a fine song
which he had made up himself
Then came the solos. Miss Robin
Red Breast-a cousin Of Mr.. Robin
Red Breast-sang a beautiful song all
by herself.
Then two little brother Robins sang
song together-they called it
Duet, which was very funny. They

vigorous language in expressing his

GREATER LIBERTY IS NEEDED
U. s. DETERMINED TO CRUSH
BANDITS ALONG BORDER.
Renewed Raiding Causes Surprise In
Ca apital - Prompt Conclusion Of
Carrarza Pact Held Necessary.

Washington. May 9.-Renewed raid
ing Of American territory by Mexican
| outlaws at Glenn Springs and Boquil-
las, Texas, under circumstances paral-
leling the Columbus massacre, has
impressed officials here with the ur-
gent necessity for prompt conclusion
of the agreement with the Carranza
government to give the United States
greater liberty in crushing banditry
along the border.
The report of the new violation Of
United States soil in the killing of four
Americans from a quarter most unex-
pected and in which General Carranza
had declared he had complete control
against outlawry, occasioned great sur
prise.
Border Troops Advance.
Secretary Baker will direct steps
necessary as a result of the Big Bend
incursions. General Funston reported
that movement of border troops to
the Big Bend district already has
been ordered
The ease with which bandits may
raid sections of the border, army Off
GERS pointed out, was illustrated in the
Texas inroads. Conditions at Glenn
Springs are duplicated at many other
points along the line.
Army officers here think it possible
that Villa himself may have partici-
pated in the Big Bend raids, although
they regard it as hardly probable.
May ProIong Stay in Mexico.
That the renewed raiding may con-
siderably prolong the stay of American
forces in Mexico is recognized.
The first report to the War Depart
ment from General Funston, said the
attacking band consisted of only 40
bandits. A later report indicated there
may have been 500 or 600 outlaws.
The names of the three troopers kill.
ed at Clean Springs were: Larence X.

PLATT KNOWS BIRDS

Representative Edmund Platt, who
is newspaper publisher of Pough-
keepsie, N. Y, knows more things
that are true about birds than any
body else in congress.
Whenever he can collect little
spare time, Platt puts dull statecraft
behind him and sets forth into the
woods and fields to listen to the song
and twitter of the birds. Sparrows,
robins, flamingoes, storks, crows,
wrens-no matter what kind Of birds
he sees, Platt knows them all by sight.
If bird is sitting still he can tell it
by it's plumage, if flying, by it's flight.
And if he can't see the stOrk or linnet
or cockatoo or whatever the bird is,
he can identify it by it's song. A bird
finds it practically impossible to fool
Platt. The blackbird that ~tries to
pass itself off on Plat for quail pre-
sents an absurd spectacle.
Rarely does Platt venture out Of
the house without his bird book and
