FILIPINO BUTLER EAGER
TO FIGHT FOR THE u. S.
Feels He Must Enlist Because of
What America Did for the
Philippines.

Preparedness is very permeating in
these stirring times, but Just how far
the propaganda is progressing came
rather as surprise this morning to one
family living in northwest Washington
The head of the clan had no sooner
seated himself for his morning eggs
and coffee when they were brought in
as usual, by Filipino man who has
been with the house for ID number of
years and who was regarded as a fix
ture. Usually a smile is a part of his
morning toilet, but today his lips were
set in stern lines and high resolve was
mingled with a suspicion of moisture in
his eyes.
Il am sorry. sir, but I must tell you
that if war comes l must leave you" he
remarked.
The head of the house gave a start
What are you talking about?" he
asked in genuine beWilderment.
Yes. sir. / must leave if war comes
was the reply. Il must enlist. | have
arranged for another man who is better
than l am to come and look after you
while / am gone. l hope l may not be
away long, but / must at least GO
But why should you enlist?" asked
the man. with the emphasis on the
you" while the eggs got cooler and
cooler And the answer he got, while
surprising, rang true:
Il feel it is my duty as Filipino
when this country needs me to offer
myself in return for what the United
States has done for the Philippines. |
feel it is the duty of every Filipino"
There has been a conference since
breakfast time which has resulted in a
compromise: the butler will wait and
guarantee not to offer himself until an
actual emergency shall arise. when the
enlistment will occur by and with the
advice and consent of paterfamilias.
But. say. The work done by the
United States in the Philippines is not
entirely without effect, is it?

WORTH Of CHEMISTS
IN WAR EMPHASIZED
DR.. Leo H. Baekeland Tells Economic
Club of Mistakes of Germany
and Great Britain.

Wonderful work is being done in the
government departments and bureaus
here to prepare the United States for
anything that might come. DR.. Leo H.
Baekeland, member of the naval con-
sulting board and of the National Re
search Council, told members of the
Economic Club of the city of Wash
ington at a dinner I'M the New Ebbitt
House last night. He spoke on Chem
istry and Preparedness" He said that
few people outside of Washington knew
of the work that was being done here.
DR.. Baekeland said that he had come
to the conclusion that Germany was
not prepared when the war started. At
least, he said. she was only half pre-
pared. Germany. he continued. for years
had boarded her gold and had more In
fGence than any other nation in es-
a gold standard. But Ger
many. he went on, forgot to hoard cop
per, nickel and rubber. Germany is

too. Germany has not enough fats and
oils. What she has is being used in the
of explosives. and the
populace is being denied food.

Presidents Message to Congress
Stirs Grand Council of Royal
Aroanum to Enthusiasm.

When President Wilson's message to
Congress was announced last night IN
the Grand Council of the Royal Area
mum. holding its annual meeting in the
National Hotel, it brought forth a
burst of patriotic enthusiasm which
eliminated in the adoption of unani-
nous rising vote of resolutions pledg-
ing the loyalty and allegiance of the
members of the Royal Arcanum to the
President in the present national emer-
gency. The vote was proposed by Past

Cites British Mistake.

He told of the efforts Of Sir William
Ramsay in England to point out to the
British government that a mistake was
being made in sending chemists to the
front But nothing could be done until
Lloyd George came into power, and he
saw that the war was one of chemis-
try and engineering. He spoke of the
continued talk of American wastefuH
ness, but said that wastefulness was
only apparent, as in many cases it was
cheaper to waste the products in this
country before the war than 1t was to
build expensive plants to save them.
DIR. Baekeland said that the difficulties
of finding materials to be used by the
country in time of war did not lay in
the laboratory, but in manufacture on
a large scale. Experiments take a long
time, he said, and sometimes the work
of 1--WE or six months is lost in a few
minutes.

Obituary..

On Dec. 8, 1916, the Grim Reaper of
death entered the home of D. @. Hop
per and claimed for its victim aunt
Laura Thomas, who resided near
Fonthill. She had been in declining
health for several months. She pro-
fesSed a hope in Christ number of
years ago and lived a consistent Chris
tian life. Aunt Laura, as we most all
knew her, was loved and respected by
her many friends. Always ready to
assist those ia need. Her presence in
the hone and community will be
greatly missed. All was done that
loving hands could do, but the Lord
saw fit to call her from this life to
dwell on Eden's fair shore. She
leaves l brother, 3 sisters, ! daughter
and host of relatives and friends to
mourn her loss. We feel our loss is
her eternal gain. After funeral SER
vices, conducted by Rev. j. R. Order,
the remains were inferred in the
Friendship cemetery, near her son and
husband, who had preceded her to
the grave only few years past,
there to await the resurrection.
A Friend.

TWENTY FOUR MILES OF
LAFAYETTE KITS.

At no time since the founding of
the Lafayette Fund, in December
1914, for the purpose of sending
comfort Kits to the French soldiers
in the trenches, has the work of the
Fund been more appreciated than
at the present moment. It is due to
the fact that this organization was
the first to send over in its Kits the
American poncho, which is desert
bed by Mr.. Charles Butler, of the
American Relief Clearing House in
Paris, as being the most practical
gift which the soldier can receive,
and is supplying need which the
French Government does not pro-
vide. Moreover, when the French
soldier retires from the trench, he
leaves the poncho for the person
who is relieving him, and thus the
garment is kept in constant use.
In addition each Kit contains l
pair Of fleece lined drawers, one
fleece lined shirt, one pair Of WOOL
en- socks, handkerchief, cake of
soap, pipe, package Of note paper,
pencil, and can of cretol ointment,
the cost of which is $500, and the
name of the donor is enclosed on a
postcard in the Kit.
To date the Committee has sent
over 84,296 Kits. If the Kits ready
for shipment were placed end to
end they would extend a distance of
twenty-four miles.
1t is both for the deep feeling of
gratitude with which our Kits are
received, and for the sympathy
which is spread broadcast among
the French Army, that the Commit
tee appeals for funds to contribute
the work until the close of the
War;
All expense are paid by the Com
mittee so that every cent contribu-
ted to Mr.. F. Roche, Treasurer
Room 1922 Vanderbilt Hotel, New
York City, will be applied to the
purchase of these Kits.
