Number of Americans in
Employment Philippine
Government Decreasing

Manila, Nov. 25.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press.)-More saan
half the Americans formerly in the
employ of the Philippine government
have been retired since July 1913.
There are now a few more than 1900
Americans in the service whereas, just
before the arrival of the new DEM
ocratic administration, there were
more than 2600.
Meanwhile there has been a steady
increase naturally in Filipino employ
es of the government, the list show
ing 1000.
The law which permits Americans
of long service with the government
to retire with a three-year pension
ranging from 66 per cent of a years
salary to the full amount, Is largely
responsible for the number Of Ameri'
can retirements which have increas'
ed very largely since the law wa:
passed. The past year has seen 4e'
retirements and the previous year saw
almost as many more.
The policy of the Harrison admins
tration in training Filipinos as rapid,
a. possible for responsible posts il
the government service has made tn
successors Of these retired American
almost entirely Filipinos. The fact
together with the increasing activitie
of the government, due to increase
prosperity in the islands, is responsible
for the big increase Of Filipinos i
the government service.

Chinese Republic Must
Have New Constitution

Peking, Nov. 20.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press. 1.-The CHR
nese republic must have new con-
stitution, new election law and par
lament must be reorganized, in the
opinion of President Fong Kuo-Chang,
and Premier Tuan Chi-jui.
An effort to achieve these objects
is in progress in the sessions of tie
new National Council, called by the
premier and president for that pur-
pose.
Most of China's governmental diff
ficulties during the last six years were
attributed by Premier Tuan in his
address to the National Council 20
imperfections in the constitution. 1T
is the desire of the president and
the premier that a new constitution
shall be adopte dand that it shall con-
tain provisions for satisfactory CO.
ordination of the executive, leGisla-
tive and judicial branches of the gov
ernment. Both officials pointed out
in addresses to the Council that it was
absence of such provisions in the
present constitution that led to tho
outbreak of numerous disorders and
revolts which have transpired in this
country since the beginning of the
attempt to organize a republic form
, of government.
The President and the Premier ap-
, parently have divergent views as tc
: whether the new constitution should
; be promulgated by the Nation Counci
. or by a new parliament to be sum
e moned after the work Of the Counci
5 is finished. President Feng told TIN
Council that he sincerely hoped tina
: after it had revised the Chinese elec
: ton laws, parliament wouii he calle'
il to draft and promulgate tine constitn
), ton; but Premier Tuan urged tn
S Council itself to amend the fundament
o al law of the Chinese state
a "Unless we have strong and SCUM
: government, we never will he able
n survive the struggle of the nations,
= declared the President. "To form
4. nation and to establish It OH fir
h basis is a colossal task. Six years
l. too short time to prove whether goN
lie ernment by the people is suitable ft
II China. Therefore, entteresin grei
of expectations for the success of Yor
task"

Stacker Hens Ousted

The recent anti-slacker-hen meet
ings. conducted by the poultry spec
ialists of Connecticut in SO towns,

strations held, beginning early in
July, a total of 8,442 hens were ran
died by the demonstrators, and o,l4o
of them were condemned as slackers.
With the removal of 81 per cent OF the
birds handled, the egg production was
decreased only 6 per cent.
In one New York county III poul-
try-culling demonstration were attend
ed by 225 persons who agreed to cul
the Stacker hens fro mtheir focks
which contained total of lI,?St
fowls. Eight persons present, who
attended similar demonstrations
year ago, stated that last years meet
ings were worth $1,000 to them. II
another county, flocks containing Il,
432 hens kere signed up to be culled
When asked how much the informa
ton they gained by attending sim
liar demonstration arranged by tn
county agent last year had been wort

WHERE RED CROSS MONEY GOE!

(From the Philadelphia Telegraph)
There are 100000 members of the
American Red Cross. They each
gave dollar for membership.
In addition to that the people Of
the United States gave a cool $780,
100000.
What has become of that money?
H. P. Dawson, head of the Red Cross
work, says that only $1,5O0,000 of
that great sum goes to paying for the
expense of administering the Red
Cross work.
The other $1o1, 100000 "goes to the
spot"
Nifty work, should say, and few
corporations in the world have so
great net surplus to distribute in
year.
Well, what does the Red Cross do
with it's money?
It has given 100000 for sick and
wounded French soldiers.
Established twenty dispensaries in
the American army zone.
Distributed supplies to 3,423
French military hospitals.
Gives surgical supplies to 1000
French hospitals.

(W. Herschell.)

(W. Herschell.)
Stacker goes on his lonely way,
Hearing Christmas shoppers hay
"Yes, am buying something for a

In the market place and square
He can't dodge it anywhere:
"What 1 want is something for a
Soldier"
Calls a girl up on the phone,
No, she'd rather be alone
Haven't time-I'm knitting for a
soldier"
Asks another girl to go
Down to see a movie show:
"No, I've socks to finish for SOL
der"
On the street car all he hears
Pounding his unhappy ears:
That's scarf I'm making for SOL
dier."
Conscience-stung he gives his seat
To Miss he hears repeat:
franks Pm tired, been shopping
for a soldier"
Drops in on a girl he knows
What's she doing you suppose.
"Oh, just tying presents for sol

Slacker-poor unhappy wight
Maybe he will pray tonight;
"Santa Claus please change me- t
