.FTLIPINOS TAKE UP
GOVERNMENT SERVICE

Manila, Nov S0.-(Correspondence
OF The Associated Press More
than half the Americans formerly in
the employ of the Philippine govern
ment have been retired since July,
1913. There are now a few more than
200 Americans in the service where
as, four years ago, just before the
arrival of the new Democratic ad-
ministration. there were more than
$500.
Meanwhile there has been a steady
increase naturally in Filipino en-
ployes of the government, the list
showing 1000.
The law which permits Americans
of long service with the government
to retire with a three-year pension
ranging from Sc per cent of a years
salary to the full amount, is largely
responsible for the number of Amer
lean retirements which have increas-
ed very largely since the law was
passed. The past year has seen 400
retirements and the previous year
saw almost as manw more
The policy OF the Harrison admin
stration in training Filipinos as rap
idly as possible for responsible posts
in the government service has made
the successors of these retired Amer
leans almost entirely Filipinos. This
fact, together with the increasing
activities Of the government, due to
increased prosperity in the islands, is
responsible for the big increase of
Filipinos in the government service.

At First, They We're De-
plorable, Senate Mill
tary Committee Hears
.EPIDEMICS NOW
UNDER CONTROL
We're Due to Overcrowding
and Lack of Sanitary
Provisions

Washington, Dec. 29.-Disease cpl
denies and clothing and equipment
shortages at Camp Bowie. Texas. and
Camp Doniphan, Okla, were describ-
ed to the senate military committee
yesterday by the respective COM
manders Of those national guard can
tonments, Major Generals Greble and
Wright.
Both officers said the epidemics
were now under control and that
adequate supplies Of overcoats had
been received, but they gave dismal
pictures Of earlier conditions. They
told, too, of enormous shortages of
rifles, machine guns and other equip
ment still existing. Food has been
plentiful, they said, and or good
quality.
General Greble's story showed con-
ditions at Camp Bowie to have been
the worst. He declares the lives of
many men who recently died there,
would have been saved had winter
clothing. SUFFICIENT tents to avoid
overcrowding, and proper hospital IA
cilities and sanitation been provided.
He told how the war department or
dered IL men housed in each tent
where, he said, they were $50 thick
you couldn't walk between them.
During November, General Greble
said 5000 men, or about one-thtrd OF
his command, passed through the
hospital, with deaths from pneu-
monia, measles and other diseases
averaging 16 daily. At one time 1900
men, he stated, were crowded into
hospital, built to accommodate 500
and that without q sewerage system.
Protested Against Crowding.
In September, the general said. he
protested against crowding IL men
into a tent, and gave warning that
sickness would result. Before more
tents arrived epidemics broke out.
Now, however, he added, there are
only 500 men on the sick list.
During the hearing the committee
also, received from Secretary Baker
letter in reply to its resolution re-
questing immediate action to relieve
clothing shortages in the canton
ments, stating the necessary steps
had been taken, and that he would
report fully as soon as all camps
were heard from.
Each of the camps investigated
yesterday has about $4,000 men. with
Missouri and Kansas national
guardsmen largely composing the
personnel at Camp Doniphan, and
Texas and Oklahoma guardsmen that
at Camp Bowie. Health conditions
at both were recently reported by
Surgeon General Gorgas, who. Gem
eral Greble said today had made a
correct report Of conditions at the
Texas cantonment.
The two camp commanders were
before the committee all day testify
ing for three hours behind closed
doors, regarding conditions among
General Pershings forces. whom they
recently inspected. They said General
Pershing is short of no supplies ex-
cept motor trucks.

CONSUMPTION
FOR GERMANY
AFTER THE war
Girls, as Well as Bows.
Probably Will Under
go Training

Copenhagen, Dec. s.-(Correspond-
ence OF The Associated Press.) -
Plans for general CONSUMPTION OF
women after the war are being made
in Germany. and there Is q general
feeling that girls, as well as boys,
VIII be compelled to undergo a rega-
lar period OF training corresponding
TO the German youths service in the
army. The service proposed for girls
Is not military. but civil. II is pro-
posed that all women should, pre-
ferably at the age Of IL, be taken
from their homes and compulsorily
trained, either in a profession, q
trade, or in household duties.
The Characteristic German division
between rich and poor is maintained
in the project. Girls OF the upper
classes are to be trained in special
institutions: poor girls viii go 10
factories or be placed in private
households, where their employers
will give them a trifie OF pocket
money and make a contribution to
the state.
The idea meets with wide COM
mendation in the German newspa-
pers, but one English critic notes
that there is some difference be-
tween male CONSUMPTION which puts
a man into a regiment run by and
for the state, and a female conscrip-
ton which makes a girl work with
out wage for the profit of private
individuals. The latter cannot with
accuracy be called anything but
slavery"
A short time ago a Berlin So
Geological society offered a series Of
prizes for the best essay on COM
pulsory service for women, and las
essays were submitted. The best
two have just been published. The
magazine, Soziale PraXis, in review
ing the essays submitted, says:
There is general agreement that
by a thorough compulsory training,
the services of women to the coun-
try wilr become much greater than
heretofore. Opinions differ as to
whether after leaving school girls
should be trained principally for a
profession or for household duties.
The lesson OF the war, which has
brought into clear relief the abili-
ties Of women in both spheres, is
perhaps that in future a middle
course should be adopted.
The teaining in households is to
be regularly supervised with a view
to seeing whether the girl really
learns something there and is not
merely made a drudge, and she must
be allowed time to attend the Wom-
ems Service school. The employers
are to give a small sum as pocket
money to the 'conscripts' and pay
the state a levy for the services
rendered. This revenue Is to provide
the means for creating more Wom-
ems Service homes"

Mr.. Bowles said the board desired
authorization to declare as a war

tiles so as to better take care OF
workmen at the plants.
He also suggested that congress
should protect shipbuilders from the

insofar as il pertains to them. Opera

he explained. that the board is hav-

tracts at a reasonable price as the
ba1ildeFs claim they will have prac-
tically nothing left from the profits
on the ships after paying the tax.
Replying to Senator Jones of
Washington, the assistant general
manager said fear OF the tax law is
general among builders and not con-
fined to any one part of the country.
senator Jones said he had seen tele-
grams indicating that Pacific coast

Lost Fourteen
Men During Exploration
Near Mouth of Mackenzie

bound and carried eastward to
Thetis island.
Stefansson with a small party
started on foot to the mainland.
During their absence the KaTluk
was crushed by the ice and sunk,
eight men losing their lives in an
attempt TO reach Herald island.
Nine made their escape.
Travels on Foot.
Despite this disaster Stefansson
continued his work in the far north,
making arrangements to journey
on foot over the Ice to unknown
parts OF Beaufort sea. After ex-
tensive explorations he returned to
Prince Patrick island In 1915 but
with KeIlet as his base, he went on
with his researches within the Arc
tic circle through 1915, being Joined
in May Of that year by a party on
the Polar Bear at Cape James Muir
ply.
The fact that stefansson arrived
at Fort Yukon, which is in Alaska
on the Yukon river, about 10 miles
inside the Arctic circle. indicates
he did not complete his intended
eastward trip through the northeast
passage from Melville island, where
1t is thought he spent the winter OF

Newton. Mass, Dec. 2s.-The first
direct communication from Lieut..
Harold B. Willis Of the Lafayette
Escadrille, who disappeared while
flying over the German lines August
is. was received by his parents here
recently. The Red Cross had discov-
cred the missing aviator in a Ger

revealed for the first time the story
Of his capture.

the boys in front Of me attacked and
was able to put away my assailant,

two others. later by a third. To
avoid being riddled from the rear !

thus separated from friends on my
level. French machines above me
evidently did not see my situation.
Almost Immediately my motor
was hit and only ran internationally,
so that they could always keep above

odds against me. I landed twenty
kilometers in the rear. An adver-
sary landed beside me and proved
very correct and sympathetic. Ny
machine was hit thirty times, in
body, motor and windshield. Half
the cables were cut, tire shot away
and an unknown number of holes In
the wings.
They took me to lunch and later
to the rear. The treatment since
continues correct.
MY chief distress has been my IN
ability to tell you Of my safety and.
