AMERICANS DROPPING OUT.
There are Fewer in Philippine Govern
ment Service Than Formerly.

Manila, Dec 26 Correspondents oil
the Associated Press More than hall
the American formerly in the employ OF
the Philippine government have been re-
tired since July. 1918. There are now a
few more than | 200 Americans in the
service whereas, -four years before the
arrival of the new Democratic admins
tration, there were more than 1900.
Meanwhile there has been a steady in
crease naturally in Filipino employees of
the government, the list showing 900.
The law which permits Americans of
long service with the government to re-
tire with threeyear pension ranging
from Sc per cent of a years salary to
the full amount, is largely responsible
for the number of American retirements
which have increased very largely since
the law was passed. The past year has
seen 400 retirements and the previous
year saw almost as many more.
The policy of the Harrison admins
traton in training Filipinos as rapidly as
possible for responsible posts in the gov
eminent service has made the successors
of these retired Americans almost entire
ly Filipinos. This fact, together with
the increasing activities of the govern
ment, due to increased prosperity in the
islands, is responsible for the big in
crease of Filipinos in the government
service.
