Last year saw also a, fine crop in
the sugar province Of the islands and
excellent prices for the product. The
Philippine sugar industry is still in a
primitive state because of the lack OF
modern sugar plants. Plans are afoot
for the erection Of centrals but few
have been brought to realization.
There are no sugar refineries in the
islands, The few planters who have
the advantage Of centrals and modern
machinery have had n wonderful year.
Several companies, an the verge OF
bankruptcy before, have pulled them
selves out of the slough and will pay
dividends, reaching in some cases to
40 per cent.
Cocoanut planters, with high prices
for copra, have Also made notable
financial success during the year. Bud
rot which had at one time seemed a
menace to insu!ar trees. has been
wiped out and favorable weather aided
the planters as much as high prices,
There are anly two plants of any size
manufacturing coceanut oil In the
islands but their initiative has been
well rewarded by their profits during
the past year. base
Last year saw also tremendous
strides in an industry which had here
tofore been in its infancy-embroider
and laces. The closing of the Euro
pean market to American buyers
caused a boom in the local industry.
At least four big American houses have
opened branch manufactures in
Manila and each month sees big in
crease in embroidery exports to the
United States. A group Of aStute
American business men who got into
the field early are making a fortune
in the export embroidery and laces
to the United States
There Is another business which has
brought big profits to the Philippines
though to a limited group. That is
shipping. Inter- island shipping COM
panies have not shared greatly in this
prosperity since their rates are limited
by government control. But a few
venturesome spirits who have bought
and sold ships, have made enormous
profits. One Of them, a Filipino, was
government clerk ten years ago at
$50 a month: His shipping operations
in the period since the opening of the
war. have netted him nearly two mil
lion dollars and he enjoys the dis
tinction Of paying the largest income
tax In the Philippines. s.
AN these facts together have con-
spired to make the year one Of the
most prosperous in the history of the
Islands. No year will show such
favorable balance of foreign trade as
1916. Even to the retail merchants

Science of War
Army Will Be Shy Of Junior
Officers, and 1t Is These
Coveted Positions Many Are
Seeking.

IF any one is obsessed OF the idea
that because a man has been draft
ed for the army he is an unfortu-
nate and a glum loser in Uncle Sans
big lottery he'd better HE him to Gov
errors island, New York, and watch
the conscripts at work. Every day on
the big parade ground almost 1000
men are strenuously endeavoring to
learn the rudiments of military ed
ucation, and many, having the rudi-
ments, are seeking to skill themselves
further in the science of war.
The drillers are all volunteers. They
can come when they please, and most
OF them give every moment they can
spare to the work. The majority OF
the men are conscripts-ambitious con-
scripts, who, when they are summoned
to the colors, hope to have the jump
on the less ambitious Of the drafted
chaps. These men, who are giving
their of hours and even sacrificing val
ued business hours, hope TO qualify as
noncommissioned officers and even as
commissioned officers IN the big ma
tional army.

In life, but It is striking the number
Of actors who are seeking military
education. The Players club has re-
sponded wonderfully we'll Captain
Boyce says the actors make good sol

they make good administers, having
the presence and the voice so neces-
sary to good leadership. One of the
most efficient drillmasters is moving

Making of Fine Army.
What is going on at Governors island
is going ON at conscription camps all
over the country. Army men say that
there is the making of fine army in
these raw recruits. While In European
countries 1t takes long time to get
the troops to the point of efficiency,
Americans are said to be particularly
apt, and, while there is no claim that
the first American army will equal the
best of the troops abroad, IL is agreed
that all will give splendid account OF
themselves on the firing line.
Washington is besieged with appli-
cations of men who, while not afraid
of the draft, are seeking officers com
mands. When 1t was first announced
that the second draft would be called
soon after the first there was a deluge
of applications for officers commits

ton of the authorities Mt Washington

Charlevoix county herald., 1917-09-21

slightest doubt in the mind of Captain
Boyce that large proportion of the
draft men now drilling at the island
will be selected as noncommissioned
officers in the big camps. Once a man
has become "noncom" his opportuni
ties for a commission are bright.
Any man who goes to Governors is
land and comes under the spell of Cap
tain Boyce will work like terrier and
get to the drills every time one is held
Captain Boyce has a personality that
makes him an ideal commander OF
such a drill regiment as is working
daily on the island. No man can re-
main discouraged in that optimistic
command.
