DAWN OF NEW ERA"
IN THE PHILIPPINES

Zone who is there writes of conditions
and what the United States has done. J
In reply to the request of my many
friends concerning the things that are
going on in my coutry, Philippies, from
the beginning of Americas occupation
l made up an effort to compose this
short fragment of its history, with the
hope that every one of those who re-
uuested it, as web those who did not,
will enjoy it. As l can not answer you
all personally, 1 urgently request the
kindness of the ''The Daily Capital
Journal" F" to publish it so that every
one who may have the chance to see it
could get an idea of how much this
government had done for us.
The dawn of the new era is not a
new phrase. ii expresses the aspiration
of the people of the Philippines. They
have been seeing it in vision for some
time past. 1t has been the hope that has
beekoned u.s. 1t means opportunity. The
darkness of the past with all of its
nightmare, gloom, fear and despair, is
no more. The people for the first time
in their history are enjoying real lib
erty.
Promise of the dawn has been sig.
nailed in the eastern sky and by its
light preparation extending nearly over
score Of years has marked the ae-
tivity Of the people. Long ago Ameriea
assured the people of the Philippines
that her purpose was to prepare the
Filipinos for self government Some be-
lieve the promise. while some did not.
Some thought such boon could not be
expected from a great nation. They
pointed to history for lack of precedent.
Never before has big country given
itself to such task.
And vet there should have been no
fear. As We hooked back now over the
last sixteen years every act of the gov

But let me hasten to say that the
greatest and biggest thing that has ever
been organized is the public schools.
Without education there could have
been no representative government. In
telligence is not only necessary on the
Part of the members of the congress
but on the part of the others who elect
them to their high office.
1t has taken many years to get
things ready for the new era. Much
had to be cleared away and much had
to be formulated. 1t is not an easy thing
to put together great machinery. Tt

waste and loss of time. 1t is even more
difficult to Put together a great gov

American are at low ebb, it must be
reckoned with.
To aid in forming judgment, the gov
ernment has cabled it's representatives
abroad to sound out sentiment and re-
port the reception of the peace propos-
al--both in high and low quarters.
They have been asked to hasten their
reports lest delays indicate a spirit of
indeeision.
Officials think, generally, the world
should know where the United States
and her allies stand, especially if the
offer is rejected.
Entente opinion, with the exception
of the Russian, tends toward prompt re-
lection of the proposal. The same spir-
1t pervades in some government quar-
ters here.
Is German Feeler
But authorities realize, that, coming
from the pope, the offer carries a
weight which German feelers" and
made in Germany peace suggestions
have lacked; that the offer will stir
pacifist sentiment; and cause the think
ing world to pause in reflection.
The hint is launched that Germany
may have chosen the vatican as q
means of surrendering. gracefully, with
out incurring disaster and possible rev.
olution at home.
In any event, be the offer accepted
or rejected, it will serve to plant peace
seeds in all nations as nothing else
has done in recent months.
The state department said recently
the world would hearken thoughtfully
to anv bona fide peace offer.
The pope, it is believed has the max
imum and minimum Teuton terms. His
suggestions, manifestly unacceptable to
either the allied or American standard
in some respects, could be used as
basis of negotiations, it is held. The
proposal to leave settlement of the Al
saee-Lorraine and Balkan problems to
peaceful negotiations is regarded here
as special stumbling block.
The formal note had not reached the
state department up to mid-forenoon
today.
No Formal Agreement
There was an official suggestion that
it might not be delivered to the United
States government though the authori-
ty for this intimation said he had not
had any advices to show that such was
the ease.
Secretary Lansing's information Is
known to have been that the pope
would make an appeal. though it was
not definitely stated that the United
States would be included.
State department officials profess to
lssnSe no idea as TO who win deliver the
massage, though the general impression
was that ii would come through the
Spanish ambassador.

TO favor any nation, Cardinal Farley
today said he would watch the out
come of the vatican s peace proposals
''with the most acute concern.
The pope, he declared, was the great,
est neutral figure in the world and
would urge only steps of benefit to all.
"'I know that the holy father has

6S ARE INDICTED FOR
EAST ST. LOUIS RIOTS
Grave Apprehension Felt Lest
Race Troubles Be Started
Again j

East st. Louis, III. Aug. 15.-East st.
Louis was living i'll an atmosphere of
apprehension today. Early today depu-
ty sheriffs had already arrested two
whites and 16 negroes, charged with
participation in the race riots of July
second and third. following the grand
jury report at Belleville, county seat
of st. Clair county, late yesterday. The
jury returned sixty eight indictments
against l05 persons, naming them in
345 charges, of murder, arson, assault to
kill, conspiracy to incite rioting and
malicious mischief.
The indictments were accompanied by
a lengthy report reviewing the riots
and disturbances, starting May 2S and
reaching their elimination when nearly
100 negroes and six whites were killed,
July and 3. Twenty three negroes and
S2 whites, including two women, are
named. Deputy sheriffs Immediately
started rounding them up.
Richard S. Brockway, claim agent for
the East st. Louis suburban railway
was the first white man arrested. Be-
fore midnight ten negroes had been
taken. Additional arrests continued dur
ing the early hours today.
While the grand jury did not mako
public the names of indicted persons,
it is known that former police lieu
tenant is one of the men named. Other
officials and prominent citizens will be
arrested today, it is said.
The report accompanying the iury's
indictments bitter denounces the con-
duct fcity officials, large labor EN-
ployers and the citizenry of East st.
Louis.

POPE'S PEACE FABRIC
(Continued from PAGE Ones

tinue to grow between now and No
yember.
81 In theory the pope s move seems to
resemble earlier peace proposals of
President Wilson," one French diplo-
mat said. Naturally it will receive
the same attention the president Is ut
terances always received. It is appar-
ent, however, that behind the vatican 3
move are Austria and Germany and in
these circumstances, it may rebound to
the interest of the enemy.
cit is for this reason that the vati-
can s move will most probably fail.
The war must go on to its logical con-
clusion.
The Brazilian and Chilean ambassa-
dors sought to learn this country s
views today, but were informed the
peace note had not arrived.
The situation caused Senator Lewis
to introduce a resolution today that
would bind congress to keep silent con-
cerning peace, leaving action to the
president. Senator Sherman, the other
Illinois member, also offered a. peace
resolution, declaring for no annexations
or indemnities, for freedom of the seas
and rehabilitation of Belgium at joint
cost to all belligerents. Sherman sug-
gested that President Wilson seek joint
statements of war aims and peace
terms from the allies.

Drink STORM VICTIMS.
New Study of Why SOM Men Go on
Periodic Debauches.

FeFtOCbC 0coduSHeo'
There has recently been organized in
Hartford, Conn.,, a foundation for q
new line OF research work relating to
the alcoholic question. This research
will have for its object the explanation
of drink storms" which attack men
who are not regular drinkers. but sud
denly plunge into a debauch and use
liquor to- excess for q limited period,
after which they resume their usual
condition OF temperate living.
This subject Is treated by DR.. T. d.
Crothers of Hartford, Conn, in the
New York Medical Record. He says:
what condition Of body and mind fur
nishes the soil. plants the seed and fa-
vors the growth In inebriety and alco-
holism is yet to be studied. What laws
of growth. heredity. culture, surround
ings, nutrition and mental impression
favor the development of the drink evil
are questions for the future.
why the degeneration from the use
of alcohol Is in one instance slow, con-
cealed and breaking out only after
lifetime in various diseases: in another
rapid, positive and most emphatic, and
in a third concentrated on the brain
and nervous SYSTEM or ON the organs
of nutrition. and so on through long
list of questions as to why and how
this or that particular phase of disease
breaks out. are questions for future
study.

BOSTON JOURNAL IS
ABSORBED BY HERALD

Boston, Oct. 5.-The absorption by the
Boston Herald Of the Boston Journal.
which has been a factor in the morning
newspaper field in New England for more
than three-quarters of century, was an
nounced tonight. On next Monday morn
ing the Herald will be issued under the
title The Boston Herald and Boston
Journal"
The announcement made by the Herald
says that the transfer included the name,
circulation, mail lists. good will and
physical property OF the Journal. THE
history OF the Boston Journal" contin-
ues the statement. lis replete with many
journalistic achievements and, while NOT
financially successful in recent years. it
still maintains a strong hold on a large
family of loyal readers"
The Boston Journal was first published
in 1888. Its chief prominence was during
the Civil War, when Col Charles o. Rog-
ers was editor and proprietor and such
men as Charles Carleton Coffin, Henry
W. Ladd and Ben Perley Poore made It
the leading New England chronicler of
news from the fighting fronts. For long
period thereafter under the management
of Stephen OMeara and the late William
". Clapp, it maintained an enviable repu
tation in the local field and had strong
support. especially in northern New Eng
land. In recent years the property has
changed hands several times. Some en-
ployes of the mechanical department
have had nearly 80 years of service with
the Journal.
