Last Men Glass |
Be Called In July

AS a further step carrying out the
war departments plan to have three
million men under arms by August
/. Provost Marshal General Crowd
er on Tuesday called on the Cover
nors of all States except Arizona and
Illinois for the mobilization between
July e and 25. of 220, 600 white draft
r~egistrants qualified for general mill
tary service.
This call is expected to exhaust
the number of men in class l, and.
when added to school acquisitions of
23,436 men, brings the total calls so
far announced for July to 243. 4S6.
To complete its program the de-
partment will have to depend on the
400, 900 class l ~registrants expected
from the June 5 enrolment and the
$50, 900 or 300, 900 to be obtained by

Senate Passes Army Bill

Washington, June 29.-The army
appropriation bill. carrying twelve
billion and eighty-nine millions OF
dollars, the largest single budget IN
the worlds history, passed the Sen
ate to-day. The action was unani-
nous. Much important legislation
was added by the Senate, but no
change was made in the present
army draft age limits. In ~disposing
of its various amendments the Sen
ate rejected the amendment provid-
ing specifically to direct the Presi-
dent to raise an army of five million
men as soon as equipment and trans
portation could be provided. Many
Senators declared that the vote did
not represent opposition by Congress
to an army of such size, and that
sentiment for great expansion exist
ed at this time, and would no doubt
be acted upon as soon as the war de-
partment's plans would permit.
This sentiment, according to the
Senators, was overwhelming.

UNITY IN FILIPINO TRIBES
Recent "MauIud" Held In Department
Of Mindanao and SuIu Was Evil
dence Of Existing Harmony.

Commenting on the prevalent BELIEF
that the islands need a speed national
ization of the different sections and a
roofing out of sectional and tribal feel
ing, the Philippine Review says edi-
torially:
"While as a matter of fact we have
to acknowledge that sectional feeling
seemingly exists In the islands, Its
istence is not of basic character. Fol
the elements of unity are in actual X
istence, and sectional feeling Will only
seemingly last while no actual inter
course between the sectional groups
of the islands takes place. 1t is, there
fore, but a matter of common educa-
ton or educational intercourse, not
real lack of spirit Of nationality; ana
with the present government efforts to
provide the people with good popular
education, this so-called lack OF ma
tional spirit will shortly be overcome"
Perhaps no better evidence Of the
harmony existing among different
tribes and factions could be offered
the skeptic than the recent "Maulud'
held In the department of Mindanao
and Sulu. The Maulud corresponds
to the Christian Christmas, being the
celebration Of the birth Of Mohammed.
1t consists In ceremonies lasting two
days during which there is much feast
ing and chanting by 'imams' (priests)
and lady singers.
The last Maulud was celebrated at
the residence of the governor of Sulu.
All the chiefs and every other Mo
hammedan of prominence, 100 imams,
80 lady singers, 5000 Mohammedans.

civilians Of any distinction attended

forgot their religious, social and po-
litical diferepces. and threw them
selves heart and soul into the cele-
bration of this greatest Of Mohamme-
dan fiestas. No one ID have wit
messed the scene without being con-
vinced of the oneness of the Moham-
median and Christian Flipinos, and
the hearty good feeling between Amer

American industries at the present
