Malay Manslayers To He Made More
Decent BY Modern Medical
Treatment.
THEIR ILLS TO BE CURED
Rockefeller Foundation and Filipino
Government to Work Together to
Bring Them Into Pacification by
Proper Pills.

New York, Aug, IA plan for
clvilizing the 100000 Moros OF the
Sulu archipelago by giving them medi-
cal relief from the many diseases
rampant in the native isles was an
nounced today by the Rockefeller
Foundation.
In cooperation with the Interna-
tional Health Board of the Rocke-
Teller Foundation, the Philippine go, =
eminent will send a hospital ship to
the island group inhabited by the
Moros and kindred tribes. The ship
is now being equipped and will be
maintained for period of five Yeas
under the joint supervision of the
government and the Foundation.
The scope of the plan and the
methods to be employed are given in
the following announcement made
today by the Foundation:
For more than 200 years the
Moros, who were the famous malay
pirates that devastated the Northern
Philippine islands,. have resisted all
attempts by Spain and the United
States to pacify them by military
force Since their entrance into his
tory they have been people apart.
On the large number OF small islands
comprising the Southern group of the
Philippines about 100000 of the tribes
still lead a semi-nomadic life. They
are of the Mohammedan faith.
Investigation has shown the MoroA
to be suffering from Skin disease of
severe form, malaria, hookwc: M
dysentery and other preventable in
fections AS tho Igoso band and other
hunting tribes OF Northern Luzon were
civilized largely by the men. who
brought them medical relief It was
decided to reach the Moros in the
same way.
Although dispensaries have been
successfully established among the
Moros on the larger islands of MIN
danao and Jolo. they can reach but a
small fraction of the people. The
hospital ship will go from island TO
island, meeting the people 4. estao-
lished points bringing medical re''Af
to the sick, training midwives, and
giving general instructions to the ma
tives.
The board hopes that by the end
of five years the hospital ship y III
have proved its usefulness and tnat
the work will be continued on the
basis of government and local support
II this should he the case this method
of medical relief in uncivilized coun-
tries will show possibilities Of wide
application among other island peo-
