PHILIPPINES ARE READY AND
 WILLING TO FIGHT IN WAR FOR
 DEMOCRACY AGAINST MILITARISM

Chiefs of the various tribes in the Philippine Islands have notified the United States authorities that they and their fighting men Ito the last man." stand ready to fight for the United States in the present war, and that they only wait the command of America to begin training for service in any part of the world to which they may be ordered by the War Depart ment. Furthermore, the recently or ganized National Guard of the Philip pines has volunteered to a man, and through Philippine official channels notified President Wilson that they are ready and anxious to fight under the American flag. The same spiri; of loyalty and eagerness for service pervades the rank and file of the fla nous Philippine Constabulary and Philippine Scout organizations.
 The loyalty of the millions of peo- pie who live in the Philippines, says Colonel R. N. Perley, u s. A., Assis- tant Adjutant General of the Nation al Guard of the Islands, is without parallel in history, when all the cir cumstances of the situation are taken into consideration. Less than twefl- ty years ago 99 out of every 100 Fill iponos distrusted and hated Ameri- ca. Today the people everywhere love and respect the United States, and their loyalty, Colonel Perley adds is built on the solid foundation of appreciation of assistance given by an older and stronger brOther-the TTnif- ed States"
 The December issue of The Army and Navy News of San Francisco may be termed Philippine number, and it's columns are given, for the most part, to a series of articles written by army officers on duty in the Philip pines, in which these officers tell the story of the Americanization of the Philippine Islands and the wonder ful spirit of loyalty the natives are showing toward the United States in the present war against Germany and

ion of the National Guard was or ganized is told b Colonel Perley. as follows:
 When the Spanish domination of the Philippine Islands, expressed i;l the persons of the Friars, was sup planted by the sovereignty of the Americans, the Filipino people were hardly in a concillatory mood, much less one of welcome. Spain's national policy of exploiting her colonies of fered nothing that appealed to the brown skinned natives. Four cen turies of experience under a burden some yoke had bred naught in their hearts but distrust for all great na- tions. In consequence the change of masters accomplished by the A,neri- can occupation found the tropical country a hornets nest of suspicion and skepticism, and the insurrec. ton followed.

WHAT GERMAN
 VICTORY WOULD
 MEAN TO WORLD
Georg Gothein Tells Reich stag Would Have to Keep
 Subject Peoples by Force

Amsterdam, Dec. 14-German vic- tory in the war would mean that the Germans "as the dominant race, would have to keep in subjection by force of arms the crushed and dis possessed peoples,' asserts Georg Go- thein, leading Liberal member of the German Reichstag in an editorial article in the official organ of the influential German Assoczarfon for Commercial Treaties
 Should we actually succeed in gaining a decisive victory, which only a few persons believe possible" he writes, i've should have to bear a weight of armaments for that pur- pose which would make it impossible for our national strength, so terribly weakened in any case by b.0ody loss es, again to regain it's economic power. And yet without this perma- nent political strength is impossible. One day the world would rise against the German sway, would burst it's fet- ters, would destroy our power which would be lacking in economic support. For if we have been able to hold oue

That times change and we ch

That times change and we change Navy News, well exemplifed by the outburst of love for America and American institutions all over the Philippine Islands. Even those tribes that were for years the most bitter enemies of the United States and were the hardest and last to be conciliated,' are wing with their more civilized brothers to aid the United States in it's war for democracy.
 ''The President of the Philippine Senate, Manuel L. Quezon, offered the services of the whole Philippine Ma tional Guard, 25,00O troops, to the President of the United States fer any duty he might assign them, on June ?, 1917.
 And this from a country that only few short years ago was in arms against us is only one of the best ar : guments in favor of Americas trium- phant democracy and it's perpetua- ton.
 And still a greater and more en- 'couraging argument is the spirit which is prevailing in the tribal or ganizations in all the islands. For over a decade they have felt the wise, firm rule of the Americans, have year by year begun to recognize that it was being exercised for their good and advancement, and now, in return, they offer all they have, their man. hood, as part payment of the debt.
 s'The Philippine Scouts and Con- staubulary have in every case and in every emergency acquitted themselves like men, and their loyalty to the United States cannot be questioned"

The Pretext for National Prohibition

The plea for National Prohibition is made on the ground that the Prohibition States could not protect themselves against liquor shipments from Wet States This plausible longer exists. The Webb Kenyon Law together with the Reed Amendment (gen- orally known the Bone-Dry" Law) forbid any rail- road express company to transport liquor into States whose laws prohibit it. rnake tt crime for anone to bring liquor into any Prohibition State
 If State wants to be "Bone-Dry," it become so by adopting State Prohibition with the assurance that the Federal Government will it that no liquor is shipped in.
 The amended Webb-Kenyon Law was passed in rec ognon of the right of each State adopt its own policy liquor legislation from outside interference For the those States which do want Prohbi- ton must have e right o protection for their policy FREE FROM OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE.
 1t would be most unfair to coerce by Prohibition those States that long ago discovered Prohibition to be fallacy and failure.

"BIG BILL" HOLLENBACK TO
COACH SYRACUSE AGAIN
Athletic Board Refuses to Grant Peti-
tion of Players for His
Removal

SYRACUSE, n. Y March 14-"Big Bill"
Hollenback. the former Penn gridiron hero,
who coached the football team OF Syracuse
University, will remain here for the new
season as coach, according to the verdict
of the athletic board today. He will not
be ousted as was demanded by many of the
players Of the Orange team OF last year.
Holenback's contract has another year to
run. and this will be honored it was stated
officially.
Big Bill" became unpopular with some
of the players when he refused to accede
to some of their wishes last year. As
result a petition was framed asking that
he be removed. He was blamed for the
failure of the team TO win certain big
games, but 1t develops that this was not the
underlying motive of the players. The Ath-
letic board made thorough investigation,
despite the fact that many of the names
of players on the petition would not play
on the team next year, either because they
have been declared ineligible or because
they will be lost by graduation. At the
end of the investigation the board announced
today that 1t found nothing TO warrant
Hollenback's dismissal He has opened an
office for his coal business in Syracuse and
will remain here at least until the end Of his
contract next fall.

Before he forgot that grass is highly

the ball grounds would be glad to assist
in a good healthy fire the flames soon
got beyond control and the entire squad
fought the confagration. The fence was
burning in several places. 80 a bucket
brigade was formed and for a long time the
players wondered what had become of the
ice water. Oscar Dugey, who once handled
the bucket with the volunteers in Palestine,
Tex, saved the day when he appeared on
the scene with an axe and knocked a hole
through the fence. The flames were then
fought on both sides and sotn were under
