MANILA, Jan. 2S -- Correspond
ence of The Associated Press THE
Philippine Islands have enjoyed dur
ing the past twelve months the great
est prosperity in their history. War
conditions, prices and demands are
directly responsible. In the past two
years. the balance of trade in favor of
the islands has been S50,000,000. 65
percent OF which is TO be accounted
for in the unprecedented prosperity
of 1917.
Internal trade has leaped to un-
heard of proportions. There is more
money in every part of the Philip
pines today than ever before. More
business is being done and the cur
rency reflects this condition. Despite

With the exception of sugar. all de,
partments of insular trade profited by
the prosperity of the country. Freight
rates quintupled and sextupled, for
sugar, and the Philippines producers
often faced loss on their sales in
the United States.
When the price of sugar in the Unit,

WOMEN ARE ASKED
TO HELP DISPOSE OF
". S. GARDEN CROPS
Committee Appeals To City
People To Set Aside
Ground

An appeal has been made to the
women of Mt. Vernon and Knox coun-
ty to act as mediums of exchange for
the produce which is expected to be
raised in the war savings gardens"
this summer. The appeal has been
sent ont through Chairman Ralph c.
Ringwalt and Secretary Henry G.
Beam of the Knox county war say.
ings committee. Many people who
are able to carry out the plan of the
committee in raising such garden
would fail to find market for their
crops and it Is the hope of the com.
mittee that the women who could find
such market will endeavor to help
the committee.
The plan in which the women are
asked to help is that each person in
Mt. Vernon and Knox county set
aside Il small plot of ground in the
city or from one to five acres in the
rural districts and buy thrift stamps
and war savings certificates with the
money derived from the sale of the
produce.
1t is hoped by the committee that
prizes for the most efficient planting
of crops may be given.

WALKEY WOULD FORCE
FILING OF ACCOUNT
Makes Application For A Ci-
tation; Court House
News

Joseph Levison defendant in an ac-
tion brought by tIolfstadt, Berson &
Co.. has filed an answer and cross
petition in the common pleas court,
alleging that the plaintiffs adopted
fraudulent means to procure the eX-
ecution of the note upon which they
are now suing and asking that the
note be cancelled and the case dis.
missed.
Levison claims that he purchased
four rings from the plaintiff and that
these rings were not as represented,
whereupon he says the plaintiff
agreed to take them back and to give
him his moneys worth in other mer-
chandise. Levison says that the
plaintiff then gave him one ring rep
resented to be worth $99 more than
the four he had originally purchased
and that it was in this transaction
that the note was made.
Later, he says, he discovered that
the ring was not worth more than the
sum paid for it in cash without the
additional $3.50 in the note.

ison.

it is believed they will not help out
the sugar industry.
Hemp, with all the world demand
ing it for ships and war vessels. play
ed big role in the prosperity of the
islands. During 1917 it reached rec
ord prices and paid its producers
handsomely. Hundreds of owners
plantations have become rich in the
past two years. Scores of Americans
who years ago picked CT; Mindanao,
the land of the untamed Moro, as
ideally suited to hemp, and then strug-
gled along for years on the verge of
bankruptcy, suddenly found their op-
timism justified and their years OF
toll and hardship repaid by two years
of undreamed of prosperity.
Likewise the cocoanut planters
have been carried along on the crest
of the wave OF success. During the
early part of the year. prices rose
steadily as American manufacturers
demanded the product at any cost.
But freights also rose. This lead
many business men to figure that if ii
were possible TO sell the raw copra-
the dried meat of the cocoanut-at a
profit, it would be much more profit
able TO extract the oil locally. save
large part OF the freight costs and
count that saving as profit. During
the year, fully twenty cocoanut oil
mills, all OF small capacity were start
ed in Manila alone and in the prov
inces as many more were inaugural
ed
The tobacco planters, manufactur-
ers and dealers have also had year
of unparalleled business success. The
demand for Philippine tobacco and
cigars from the United States has
been such that Philippine growers and
planters have been unable to meet it.
The year saw the cigar production of
the island very largely increased
while the acreage planted to tobacco
was also largely increased. But there
are no signs of abatement of the de-
mand.
a similar story can be told in every
line of Philippine business. The coun-
try is literally rolling in money.

Allies Are Gaining

A most encouraging feature of
the war is the fact that the allies
are making still greater progress in
the matter of power. This is due,
in part, to the rapidity with which
America is now coming into the
fight, plus the growing confidence
of the British and French in their
ability to hold fast until we arrive
in adequate force. The splendid
work by the allied armies is giving
encouragement and the determina-
ton to put every ounce of energy
and man power into the conflict at
the earliest possible moment.
Though unwilling to make the
ad mission, Prussian leaders un-
doubtedly know that militarism is
doomed; that the superior resources
of the allies. reinforced by the on
coming flood of American soldiers,
will ere long destroy their power.
They are too intelligent to really
believe that, in their present con
dition of decline. they can accom-
plish their Worldwide ambitions.
But out of sheer desperation they
prefer the chances of ruin, rather
than confess defeat. They are tax
ing the gamblers chances and
plunging with the utmost reckless
ness, hoping to secure all the ad,
Vantages possible and do all the in
jury possible, before the fatal peace
psrleys begin. The greater their
winnings now, the greater the
