THAT Uncle Sans rule In the
Philippines has been beneficial no
one viii deny, least OF all the
natives who have made such progress
under his tutelage. Proof OF their APP
probation lies in the fact that they
have been loyal TO him and have stood
by his side since the war broke out
one might say that this was natural
but it Is not at all so.
Few people know that man who II

OF declaring war which would In
volve this country as well as Great
Britain In a great Asiatic struggle, yet
such is the case. The Sultan of Jolo,
who owes allegience TO Uncle Sam, II
he had the actual power which his
title and rank indicate, could proclaim
a "Jehad' or holy war, such as the
sultan OF Turkey tried unsucce ssfully
20 proclaim, that would add millions
Of Mohammedam foes TO the
enemies OF tho Allies. In the
tables OF precedence at Mecca, the
Holy City OF the Moslems, the Moham-
medan ruler who ranks next to the
! sultan OF Turkey as the greatest power
among the followers OF the Prophet
is this same Sultan OF Jolo. The con-
quest OF the Moros OF the Philippines
