HEAD HUNTER IN
AMERICAN ARMY
Moro Entertains Hospital Pa
TENTS With Wild Songs and
Curious Chants.
HAS FIVE BAYONET WOUNDS
Astonishes Doctors by Rapid Recovery
From Injuries Received While
Fighting in Ranks of Yankees
Has Remarkable Record.

Paris.-The most remarkable pa-
tient in Base Hospital No. 80 is
Moro Head-Hdnter, who turned up in
France six months ago with COM
pany of American soldiers who had
just come from the Philippine Islands.
His name is recorded as Philipo Mo-
reno, and his home as the Philippine
Islands. No one suspected him of hav-
ing remarkable record until his story
came out one day after chance meet
ing with the colonel in charge of the
base hospital to which he was taken
from the front. And this is how it
happened:
A Red Cross searcher hearing of
man suffering from five bayonet
wounds who had just been brought
into Base Hospital No. 80, hurried to
his bedside with fruit and an offer
to send home any messages he might
wish delivered. The man, unusually
big and dark, accepted the fruit CRATE
fully, but assured her that he would
be well enough himself to write soon
to his sister. his only living relative.
Sings Wefro songs.
And he kept his word in spite of
the five bayonet wounds which healed
SO rapidly that all the doctors Of the
hospital marveled at the remarkable
constitution of the dark-skinned man.
The patient was soon convalescent,
and the first place he visited was the
Red Cross recreation hut. Some one
was playing the piano, as usual, and
during the afternoon one of the MEM
bers Of the sanitary corps sang one of
Burley's negro songs, deep River"
Philipo offered to sing the song in the
original and astounded his audience
with weird version full of minor
notes and harmonies that made shiv-
ers run up and down susceptible
backs.
And thereafter the Filipino insisted
on entertaining gatherings in the rec
reation hut each afternoon with wild
songs and curious chants and recita- |
tons. Some of these were very spicy |
tales indeed Of the underworld and its
denizens, and finally the Moro waxed |
confidential and began telling tales |

and the days when he had hunted |

HOTEL men TO
war ON H. C.L.
Plan Meeting to Discuss
Lower Prices on Their
Menus.

Weary of waiting for Congress to
shake down the high cost OF living,
Washington hotel men have stepped
to the fore with a proposition of
their own, which they expect to
bear fruit.
Frank p. Fenwick. proprietor of
the Dewey Hotel. last night sent a
letter to Frank Hight, OF the VIII
lard, president of the Hotel Mems
Association. calling his attention to
the necessity to taking steps to re-
duce the cost of living in hotels.
In part, the letter said:
The high cost of living has been
the subject OF many Investigations
by government authorities. They
have discovered many facts and
drawn many conclusions. Still there
is no marked reduction in the cost
of food. 1t is high time we. as hotel
men. gave this vital matter serious
consideration, not SO much as IL
strikes our pocketbooks, but those
of our patrons.
81 am writing this letter to ask
that you call an early meeting of
our association. and at il discuss
ways and means to lower prices on
our menus. ! have made reductions
and think others can do so. Sure
~ discussion of this most important
matter should tend to solve cost
problems to an extent that the pub
lie will benefit"

DRY ENFORCERS
FEAR U. S. RULING
Revenue Men Ready for
Prohibition-CourtD eci-
sion May Change All.

Internal Revenue Bureau officials,
who nave made elaborate plans to
put q strangle hold shortly on John
Barleycorn, are entertaining appre-
hension that the Supreme Court OF
the United States may upset all their
plans for enforcement by declaring
the Volstead enforcement law uncon-
stitutional.
This would leave the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau helpless and place the
enforcement Of the wartime prohibi-
ton law entirely in the hands Of the
State and officials OF the Department
of Justice officials, as it was before
the enforcement law became effective
October %.
There are several cases before the
Supreme Court upon the validity OF
the Volstead enforcement law. which
are expected to be decided today.
One case involves the question of
whether the provision that no bever-
age shall be sold or manufactured
having an alcoholic content of more
than cne-halt of per cent is constitu-
tional and whether 2.75 per cent beer
can be legally manufactured and sold.
With enforcement directors appoint
ed for more than twenty States, the
Internal Revenue Bureau is getting
well along with tho organization OF its
field force for administration Of the
prohibition enforcement law.
Enforcement directors already ap-
pointed are rapidly organizing field
forces. Directors for the other States
will he appointed without delay su
that the additional poweps falling
upon the Internal Revenue Bureau
with the going into effect Of the con
stitutional amendment on January ii
can be fully enforced

To Speaker Gillette Tells
Of Diminishing Forces. :

Secretary of the Navy Daniels in a
letter TO Speaker Gillett yesterday
declared that unless Congress gives
relief in the form of increased wages

gation that the loss has been growing
