Philippines Want Chinese Labor

MANILA-Whether Chinese labor labor shall be imported to the Philip. pines to till the thousands of acres of farm land which now lies idle is the most important question which is cx- oo> ted to be fought out in the present session Of the Philippine Congress. Chinese migration is now limited by he exclusion acts of the United States md any attempt to import Chinese in 'arge numbers must have the consent of the administration at Washington before becoming effective.
 The annual Farmers Congress of the Philippines recently voted to favor Asiatlc migration. This means i'm 7ortation of Chnese since they are the only laborers avCIable. Combating his movement on the part of the farmers. representatives of organized labor are preparing to make a strong fight in the insular legislature against letting down the bars to the Chinese.

Just as the Zeppelin raids upon Eng

the fact of war in a most direct and
tragic manner, so this blow against our

we are at war and that this war must
be won, and that money is necessary for
victory, money in enormous amounts,
money from the pockets of all citizens,

Won BernstoIf and Bolo.

According TO a dispatch from Amster-
dam the Berlin Tageblatt declares that
the telegram given out by Secretary
Lansing indicating an acquaintance be
tween Count Won Bernstorff and Bolo
Pasha. the Egyptian German spy. is n
forgery. 1t must-bc a forgery. says the
Tageblatt. because it is positively known
that Won Bernstorff was not acquainted
lister Won Jagow could not have asked
the German ambassador here for news
of the Egyptian. This reasoning may
satisfy the Tageblatt and perhaps the
German people, but it does not convince
others. Secretary Lansing has given out
for publication from time to time in
the past few weeks some decidedly in
interesting and important texts relating
to Germany's intrigues in this and other
countries since the war began, and no,
until the Tageblatt challenged the Bolo
statement has there been any dispute
as to the accuracy or authenticity Of
any of these disclosures. There is no
reason whatever now TO doubt the We
racity of the Won Jagow dispatch ask
ing Won Bernstorff for news of Bolo.
Ii is. indeed, rather late in the day for
Germany to begin denying the correct
ness of the State Departments revela-
tions when so murh that is more in
trinsically important than the coupling
of Won Bernstorff's name with that of
the Egyptian spy has gone unquestioned
and has received ample veriication. IT
will take much more than the denials
of the Berlin Tageblatt to raise doubt
as to the full acquaintance of Won Bern
storff with the activities of Berlin's Mos
lem agent

The Lost TRANSPORT.

War is coming closer home 10 the
American people. An American trans
port, westward bound, after the success
full discharge of her contingent of
troops, was torpedoed and quickly sunk
last Wednesday with a loss of seventy
lives The ship was conveyed, but the
submarine slipped through the guards
and struck without being seen. This
since this government entered the war
1t is with prayer of Thanksgiving that
We reflect that the transport was sunk
homeward bound. Had the torpedo
reached her on her eastward voyage
doubtless hundreds of lives would have
been lost. The sinking of the trans
port would have gravely shaken the
American people. Yet the sinking Of
this comparatively empty ship coming
back for more soldiers indicates the pos
eibility of German attack upon our
troopships on their way to the war. 1t
is indicated that the chances of sue
cessful submarine attack upon a west
ward bound transport are greater than
IN the ease of an outbound ship full of
troops, for the latter is always more
closely guarded, and thus it does not
follow that the sinking of the Antilles
surely presages the destruction of a yes
sci full Of American soldiers
1t may require such disaster as the
destruction of the Antilles to cause the
people of this country to appreciate
fully the fact that n war of magnitude
Is in progress, a war that will entail
grievous suffering and sorrow through
the losses inflicted before victory has
been gained. Let it he hoped that there
is need of no more terrible tragedy
than this to cause n full awakening OF
the people of this country to the neces-
sity Of exerting every energy and cx-
pending every dollar to the end of tri-
umph over the nations enemy.

For its appreciation of the unique and

thanked not merely by Washington.

and should be encouraged to say it. In
this matter the suffrage should follow
the flag. Americans over whom the flag
is flying in France, and who are on the
eve of defending it in battle, are citi-
zens, and have taken with them all the
interest in their government they felt
at home. They have the same stake in
the game they had when at home. They
wanted good government then, they want
it now They had their choice among
candidates then, they have it now. Their
short absence cannot have dulled their
concern about home affairs of this de-
scription.
There has always been admiration OF
the swiftncss and ease with which the
soldiers ut the close of the civil war
returned to civil life and took up again
the duties of everyday citizenship. a
great host i'll uniform stacked its guns,
changed its clothing and was absorbed
without delay, into the everyday ranks
again.
This was explained by the fact that
the men had never lost their citizen
ship. or their interest in civil contests,
for a single day during the long strug
gle of four years. They had been en-
eouraged to keep up with the times be-
hind, as well as on, the firing lines. OPP
portmitics had been provided them to
vote at elections. and they had improved
them. In that way they had remained
i'll touch with civil affairs, and conse.
quently had 10 trouble in resuming civil
duties.

both legislative and executive problems,
and since Congress adjourned the e1ecu-
tive problems have increased in number
and complexity. Where else in the coun-
try is there an official so heavily bur
deneds
It is. likewise very important to con-
slider that, heavy as the burden today
is, it may be but bagatelle by com
parison with burden coming. The
President now is supervising prepare
tons for war. He is giving thought to
licking civilians into soldiers, and mobil-
izing the industries of the country to
support tirst-elass fighting machine.
That is an enormous task, and neces-
sarily produces great anxiety. But when
we actually enter the war; when the
troops now in France and others to fol-
low get into action; when the industrial
machinery here at home comes under
test; when excitement thrills the coun-
try incidental to the fighting of battles
and the losses of American hves-when
all of this comes. then the President Will
need all the strength and clear vision he
can command to meet his obligations.
And then Congress will return in
about six weeks. and the President viii
be obliged to give some attention again
to legislation. His friends in that body
lean upon him heavily: and he helps
them all he can. 4 large amount of
help will he necessary because of the
large amount of work Congress will have
to do. The card of the regular session
will be fuller and of more varied
character than was that of the special
session.
On every account therefore, the Presi-
dent should husband his strength, and
be allowed to think out matters without
Interruptions Especially should he be
protected from men who have squared
the circle, solved the problem of per-
pctual motion. extracted moonbeamS
from eucumbers and blood from turnips.

over to him for war uses the secrets of
their extraordinary achievements. He
has other things on hand. and scarcely

This is cable from London:

ballots and boxes except for New York

contested and the ballots delayed, but
they are now coming. The War and

result may be promptly and correctly
certified to the authorities here at home.
