THE FIlPINOS ARE .
BECOMING WEALTHY
Big Increase took Place Last
Year in Their Pros
perity.

MANILA, July 1S.-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press)-
While 1916 saw a gain in the Increase
in circulation OF money in the Philip
pine Islands which amounted to 49,.
100000 pesos, the first six months
Of this year will exceed that record
increase by 100000 pesos. The cir
culation since January l has amount
ed to 85,0OO,0O0 pesos. These fig
ures, say local economists, reflect
directly the highly favorable trade
conditions that have been maintained
for more than two years in the Phil
ippine Islands.
The wealth OF the islands is IL
creasing rapidly. In Manila alone,
the assessed value Of taxable proper
ty today is over 100000 pesos,
which is more than 100000 pesos
above 1916. Recent agricultural de-
velopments in the provinces, the eX-
tent of which it is impossible to cal
culate exactly, makes it certain that
the increases in property values in
other parts of the islands have far
exceeded Manila's record. The sue
cess that attended the single weeks
campaign for subscriptions to the
Liberty Loan testified to the presence
Of much available money in Manila.
Banks and other agencies which have
all the funds which they can readily
make use of are another testimonial
TO the presently of the islands.
There is but one drawback to the
general outlOOk-prices for sugar and
copra in the United States are such
as to make 1t improbable to pay the
current trans-Pacific freight rates.
The chief concern is felt as to sugar.
There are upwards of 100000 tons of
low grade sugar fro mthe crop har-
vested last fall in the sugar provinces
lying in warehouses. A large part of
the sugar has heretofore gone to Chi
ma and Japan but conditions in China
have practically closed the market
there. An unusually large crop of For
mosan sugar has reduced the Japan
ese demand for the Philippine pro-
duct to minimum.
Low grade sugar cannot command
good prices in the American markets,
hence the present rate on sugar to the
Pacific coast, which is $S5 a ton,
makes its shipment to the United
States a losing proposition. However,
Il had been thought that the dispatch
Of the Communicated German vessels
to the United States by the Philippine
government would offer enough avail
able cargo space to transport the SUI
gar. The government has assured
the sugar planters that their space
needs would be met.
Nevertheless the government, In
order not to compete with commercial
liners, is making its rates conform as
much as possible to commercial rates.
Hence the rate on sugar must be low
cred or the sugar men must be pre-
pared to pocket a considerable loss
Iby a sale, probably to Japan, in order
to clear their warehouses to make
room for the new crop which will be-
gin to come in in November
The situation as regards copra is
much the same, though there are not
such enormous stocks Of COpra as of
sugar, and the copra dealers can hold
their crop for better prices.

Morgantown People
Liberal With Guards

The fact that the troops Of Com
pany L and the Supply Company, who
hiked to Morgantown Monday, had
orders to be back at the camp last
night caused them to miss great
banquet and entertainment which was
planned by the citizens of Morgan
town. The troops had to leave that
city yesterday afternoon and arrived
at the camp about eleven O'Clock,
However, in order to show their in.
terest in the company from their
own town, the people Of Morgantown
presented the company with purse
of $500, and about $500 worth of to-
bacco. These gifts are highly ap.
preclated by the boys and they are
overjoyed to know that the people
from their home town are taking an
interest in them.

NEW YORK, Aug. S!-Wnat love
cOmplexes" turned Jack de saulles
from his beautiful Chilean wife to
Joan Sawyers, Broadway dancer,
sOuring a sweet romance Of two con-
tlnents into a terrible tradgey?
asked Max Eastman, former head
Of the Columbia department Of psy-
chOlogy, editor, lecturer and student
OF womans problems, and got the psy-
cOlogical exclamation:
THE love instinct in man and
woman cannot be controlled by
the will. No man or woman
should be condemned as i'm
moral because he or she falls in
love or out of love with any other
But UNKINDNEss is I'M
MORAL. And when Jack De
Saulles, confident OF his brute
power, deliberately refused to
give his former wife the child
she was entitled to by court order,
he committed an UNKIND ACT,
and therefore an IMMORAL
ACT.
IF 1 HAD BEEN WITH MRS. DE
SAULLES AND HAD SEEN HER
HUSBAND REFUSE TO GIVE UP
HER CHILD | SHOULD HAVE
BEEN TEMPTED TO SHOOT HIM
MYSELF
Eastman's eyese flashed and his Jaw
set and he drew up his siS'footh
rame in an unconscious poise Of at
tack. Then he smiled.
The point, he went on, Us not
whether you fall in love or not you
exhibit little human kindness. In
a love tangle such as the De Saulles
case-when Jack De Saulles found he
had ceased to love his beautiful wife
and wanted woman of entirely diff
ferent type-the man just had to go
his way.
But he could have been candid
and kind to his wife. He should have
remembered her tender instincts. He
should have told her the truth at
once.
What the psycho-analyst does is
to find what the mind before him is
really seeking. What a man is run
ming after is not necessarily his deep
est passion.
"The miser is not necessarily after
His subsconscious mind has
some deep-seated passion, uniOrtun-
ately turned into money quest
"A gourmand does not eat because
he is hungry. He is trying to salts
fy some subsconscious craving-em-
omtional pleasure let us say. II the
psychologist can show the individual
what it is he is REALLY after, he
has turned him into the right chan
mel.
DE Saulles' passion may not really
have been sensual at all. He may
have been seeking mother love, Men
generally are much more childish
than women. WHAT MOST MEN
WANT is REALLY A MOTHER, and
when the wife declines to mother
them, wanting to be merely q sweet
heart and to be loved, the man Is like
ly to seek somewhere else. Commonly
enough, this results in seeking AN
OTHER WOMAN,

people much for following where love
leads. There is no reset in which
we differ more than in our love in
stinct.
"As for the woman who takes an
other woman's husband, we must be
careful in placing blame there, too.
What we really want is to get peo'
pie to show a little kindness, to be
candid and honest, and when they
