OUR ISLANDERS LOYAL
DURING PERIOD OF WAR
Fihpinos and Porto Rieans Intense
ly Patriotic.

Intense patriotism was displayed by
the people of the Philippine Islands
and Porto Rico throughout the pc
riod of hostilities. says Maj. Gen.
Mcintyre. head of the Bureau OF In
sular Affairs, in his annual report
just made public.
They enjoyed year of unusual
prosperity. Production increased.
and in the main high prices for
products prevailed.
During 1917 the price of silver ad-
Vanced so rapidly that the bullion
value of silver peso in the Philip
pines exceeded the face value of the
coin. AS a result the silver coins
disappeared from circulation as soon
as they were issued.
The stringency was relieved by
the issuance of 50-centavo and l.
peso notes by the Philippine Nation
al Bank. Thereafter the Philippine
legislature reduced the amount of
silver in the coins.

Yesterday was an eventful day in
the Letter Carriers War Savings
Stamps Selling Contest. for which
prizes, representing a total of $1,000.
contributed by Berberichs, are at
stake.
Two of the three leaders were
ousted from their vantage points at
the top of their respective sections,
while several of the other contest
ants. who had heretofore occupied
lowlier positions in the race, sud-
denly manifested an access of zeal.
which resulted in a material i'm
provement in their standing.
While Carrier Ashford again ex-
changed places with Carrier Richter
at the head of the list of the down
town men, the feature of the day
was easily the leap of Irving Cole,
OF Takoma Park. to the top of Sec
tion 3, at the same time putting
such a margin OF safety between
himself and Joe Turner, who has
led from the beginning, that the
Chevy Chase man will be forced to
extend himself to the limit for the
remainder of the contest, If the 500,
which represents frst honors in his
section. is to be used as his Christ
mas money
Ashford $500 Ahead.
While Cole did not make his first
appearance in the lists until yester-
day. and then only with a COM
paratively modest figure to his
credit he has been watched care
fully by every man in his section
from the start of the contest. as II
was realized that IL there was one
thing in which Cole eXcelled it was
in the selling of Uncle Sans gum
med stickers, which helped win the
war.
Ashford and Richter, who have been
e-sawing" for first place from the
start in section !, exchanging places
on alternate days, are now separated
by a margin of nearly 800 in the for
mer's favor. While Carrier Clark Is
still third, he is being closely crowded
by Bridwell. who leaped into fourth
place by virtue of a single sale OF
81. .O00-maturity value incidentally
Bridwell is one of the first carriers in
the present contest to make a sale of
the maximum number of war stamps
one Individual may hold.
Grand Total x25,637.
In section 2 Kidwell still leads. al
though he failed to register a single
sale yesterday. G. T. Ellis, a Mt
Pleasant carrier. however, gave evi'
dence of some little activity and
jumped from fifth to second place
notwithstanding consistent gains over
the preceding day by Gerard. Comp
ton and Main. c. A. Farquhar, an
other man from that territory. ant
one who bas not heretofore figured ir
the contest. made sales totaling $50
during the day and clearly established
his right to sixth position.
While Coles upset of Turner, in sec
ton 3, overshadowed the interest
among the men in the outlying dis.
/ tricts, the other contestants gave evi.
dence of consistently good work. Par
ticularly noticeable is the appearance
of C. F. Hengesbach. a newcomer
who enters the contest with STATS as
stepping stone toward a prize. The
stations reported particularly heavy
sales, Takoma Park leading will
s1,53l52, Chevy Chase next will
s1,o24s6, Anacostia third with s416S2
and Georgetown bringing up the real
with s157.65.
The total for the day was s5,51S 90
making the grand total s25. .6S7.22.

CHILEAN SNARL
State Department Making
Study of Frontier Dis
pute with Peru.

State Department officials are MAX
ing a detailed study of the Chile-Peru
frontier controversy as a diplomatic
preparedness measure, it was learned
here yesterday.
Hope was expressed that the two
countries may reach an agreement
between themselves on thee question
of the Tacna-Arica plebiscite, but it
was admitted by both officials and
diplomats that the people other than
the governments are behind the con-
tinued demonstrations in both repub-
lies. 1t was pointed out by Chilean
and Peruvian diplomats that the mo-
bilization at Santiago and Lima was
in each case a governmental precau-
ton for preserving internal order.
The Latin-American bureau of the
Department OF Commerce issued a re-
port yesterday describing the TacnaS
africa region.
Economic Value Small.
The report stated that the region In
itself is of comparatively small eco
nomic value, with an area of S,6SS
square miles, mostly arid Andean
foothills. The port of africa and the
Arica-La Paz Railway, over which
Bolivia imported goods valued at $780,
ISL, 93l in 1915. were declared to be the
leading asset of the disputed lands.
Contrary to the current impression.
Tacna is not one of the nitrate prov
inces, as this industry is largely con-
fined to Tarapaco and Antofagasta.
declares the report These two prov
inces, to the south of Tacna-Arica,
were ceded outright to Chile by Boil
via and Peru in 1888
