! Damage to Highways, improved

Every state highway department
which has had experience with army
trucks knows that these enormous cars
do almost irreparable damage to all
roads, improved or unimproved. This
is particularly true when the autos
move in trains, as is customary.

Keynote at Opening Of

Detroit, Oct. 8.-Adopting resolu-
tons Of sympathy with President
Wilson in his illness, the house OF
deputies of the triennial general con-
vention of the Protestant Episcopal
church expressed the hope of the
convention for his speedy recovery.
Facing program Of unusual
weight in preparing the budget for
the maintenance of present church
activities and extending work of the
church the next three years, the
convention completed its organiza-
ton. Bishop Thomas F. Gailor of
Tennessee was again named chairl
man of the house of bishops and the
house of deputies elected DR.. Alex
ander Mann of Trinity church. Bos-
ton.
A radical departure from precc-

open sessions.

service of intercession and thanks
giving, the convention was opened

Pershing and his wife remained
in Paris several weeks and returned

The Philippines Again.
Always, it seemed, there was
something for Pershing to do in
those islands. This time he was to
so there as commanding general Of
the Department of Mindanao and
governor of the Moro province.
He reached Manila November 8,
1909. His wife was with him and
they proceeded to Zamboanga, the
administrative seat of government
for the department of Mindanao and
for the Moro province.
The Cameron Forbes of Boston
was governor-ge general of the Philip
pines at the time. Soon after Perish
ing assumed his new duties-civil
and nilitary-Forbes made an in
spection trip through the Moro
province: Upon its completion he
wrote to Jacob M. Dickinson, then
secretary OF war, under date of
March 10, 1910, making this report:
II have just returned from an
other trip south in which | again
visited the Moro province. The
change there is most startling and
enheartening; the result of General
Pershing's arrival, and his work
there is something magical.
Every one of the things which

Kingdom of His Own.
Indeed, reviewing the situation
after the lapse of years, Pershing's
accomplishments in the province
were magical" Magical and won
derful they were. He knew Min
danao.
The first big step taken by Perish
ing was in September, 1911. On the
9Th of that month he issued an
order-Executive Order No. "a. 1t
called for the disarmament of the
Moros, stating:
ut shall be unlawful to have
rifle, musket, carbine, shotgun, re-
volver, pictol. or other deadly wea-.
pom from which a bullet, ball, shot,

cealed or otherwise, on the person,
any bowie knife, dirk, dagger, kris,
campilan, spear or other deadly cut
ting or thrusting weapon"
Hard to Execute.
Easily written. that order. But
put iuto execution in the Moro
province! One must remember that
weapons, especially knives, dirks,
daggers, krises, campilans, spears,
were a part of the Moro's dress. He
placed the kris in his belt as we
place our watch in our pocket;
caught up his spear as He left his
hut as we catch up our hat when we
leave our house. And the Moro used
his weapons. Human life-it was
nothing 70 him, not even his own.
He killed and he murdered, singly,
by scores.
Towards the end of 1911 disarm-
ament was progressing, quietly ex-
cept in the island of Jolo. The
Moros there, Sulu Moros, the most
unregenerate of all in the province
and swaycd by a fanaticism which
made him little better than wild
beasts, held out against the govern
ment. Some 900 or more of them,
all carrying arms, not krises alone,
but high-powered, modern guns, re-
treated to the crater of an extinct
volcano known as Bud Dajo and
modified there in what they
thought was an impregnable posi-
ton.
A Christmas Victory.
Pershing took ton Christmas
day. 1911.
The savage defenders were killed
or made prisoners.
Their weapons were seized.
A report of the Bud Dajo affair,
as written by Pershing himself, fol-
lows:
"Ths final stand of the hostile ele-
r1ent opposing disarmament was
made on the sacred mountain, Bud
Dajo. The Moros had hastily and
secretly retir<d to that stronghold,
expecting the troops to assault the
fortified slopes of that historic bat
tie ground.
"In handling the situation, how
ever, our troops did not assault as
the Moros expected and desired, but
promptly surrounded them, cut off
their supplies and held them fast
until they were starved into sub.
mission. !.
"They would all have preferred
death to surrender.
"The effect Of their defeat in this
fashion was signal. 1t will soon
be safe for anyone to travel through
any part of Moro province un-
