FILIPIN0S WORKING
 FOR INDEPENDENCE

WASHINGTON. April 30. - The most earnest and systematic cam. 'paign for Philippine Independence that has ever been made in the United States is now under full headway.
 This work Is being directed by The Philippine Mission" officially en- powered by the Philippine Legislature to proceed to America and work for independence, and "to promote better understanding. greater confidence, and closer economic relations between the United States and the Philippines ,'' Members of the mission declare that the 10,o00000 inhabitants Of the isl. ands. are practically I unit for inde- pendence.
 The Mission is composed of forty of the more progressive and best known men of the islands. all FDipinos. It is headed by Manuel L. Quezon. President of the Philippine Senate, and well known in Washington. having been for eight years the Resident Com missioner from the Philippines to Con gress.

We believe that this is the proper time to present the question, looking to favorable and decisive action, because or the declared and uniform policy of America to with draw her sovereignty over the Philip pine Isltnds and to recognize our in- dependence as soon as a stable gov ernment can be established. That there is now stable government ill the Philippines managed and. support ed by the people themselves, and that it can and will be maintained under an independent Philippine govern ment, the testimony of your own off cial representatives.

 We also find inspiration and jus tification for our decision to appeal at this time to the government and people of the United States for the granting of our independence in the declaration of principles for the pres ervation of which America in the re- cent World War held life and proper ty cheap.

A situation as to juvenile delin- quency much like that usually shown by city study was revealed by an in- vestigation in 21 rural districts of New York. reported on in bulletin is- sued by the Children's Bureau of the Department of Labor and reviewed In the Monthly Labor Review of the United States Bureau of Labor Sta tistics for February.
 Of the 1855 children studied, 119 were boys and 66 girls. Offenses against property predominated among the boys and among the girls sex of censes were most numerous. In gen oral it was found that family condi- tions were not good and in anappre ciable number of cases the parents Were either contributory to the child's delinquency or were entirely respon- sible. In general, however, the child's wrongdOings seemed due rather to the low moral plane of the family than to marents direct indictment. In a num- her of instances poverty, if not the direct cause of delinquency, was evi. dently contrfbutory.
 The church, the school, the village store. and the village tavern were found to be the possible centers of com rrunity life. The latter two, of course. did not offer suitable conditions for children. In too many cases the church considered its field to be pure ly spiritual Or dogmatic, The schools generally are not equipped with play grounds or facilities for indoor play, and the teachers too often are young and inexper1enced-unfit to cope with their problems.
 A movement already is under way to improve the little district schools by consolidation of districts, bringing the children together In a village union school The report re- commends also rpovision of place of detention other than the jail be provid- cd for juvenile delinquents; that ju- venile courts and probation officers be established; that the age limit of delinquency be raised from Is to IS years; that there be stricter prosecu- tion of adults responsible for or con- tributing to delinquency; that the school be improved, the church so- cialized, and an active community life to built up; and, finally, that ef- forts be made to upbuild and strength en the family.

Sherman's Charges Denied
Houston Says Peace League Is
Not Paving Taft

Herbert S. Houston, national treas
urer of the League to Enforce Peace,
yesterday denounced as entirely false
the accusation made by Senator Sher-
man that cX-Presidcnt Taft's expenses
in the leagues present campaign were
being met from Nv Carnegie's fund.
"The league" he pointed out, "has
never had a dollar either from Mr..
Carnegie or any of his foundations.
Mr.. Taft has not only never received
money from these foundations, but
never received dollar from the league.
On the contrary, he has always been
a generous contributor, in addition to
his lncalculable gifts Of time and work.
1.-The opposition Senator will not help
his case by cheap and false surs
against President Wilson and ex-Presi
dent Taft. The American people are
not likely to believe that Woodrow
Wilson, William Howard Taft and
Theodore Roosevelt are less Jealous
guardians of the Monroe Doctrine and
the Constitution of the United States
than are Senator'S Borah, Reed, Poin-
dexter and Sherman"

Hearst May Be Absent
Reports were mentioned that Hearst,
whose continued membership in the
welcoming committee named by the
Mayor resulted in its disorganization
and the necessity for finding new mem
bers, was said to be preparing to be
"out of the city" when the returning
soldiers reached New York.
"Will Mr.. Hearst be present to greet
the soldiers when they reach New
York." Mr.. Whalen was asked.
81 don't know whether he will be
here or not" he said
The secretary said that all matters
concerning the reception committee
and its relation to the state welcom-
ing body, now in the process of organl-
zation, would be discussed when the
personnel of the New York City COM
nlittee was announced.
Meanwhile, arrangements for greet
ing the 9th have been worked
cut in detail-as far as they can be
completed in the absence of the
actual date of its arrival in New York.
It is thought that the division will
reach here about month from to-day.
The 77th will arrive about week later.
it was said yesterday.
The first evidence of the presence of
a welcoming body will be seen by the
returning soldiers on the morning
their transports arrive in the lower
bay great fotilla of dirigibles will
meet the ships at sunrise and convoy
them up the bay. Midway between the
lower bay and the Battery q fleet of
Yachts and excursion boats, carrying
the MAYORS Committee of Welcome to
Homecoming Troops, Governor Smith
and state welcomers, will meet the
transports and, amid the music of sew
eral military bands, escort the ships to
the docks at Hoboken, where the troops
will debark and go Immediately to
Camp Merritt and Camp Mills.
That night or the following evening
banquet will be given at the Wal
dorf-Astoria for the 900 returning Of
fcers. The $4,000 that this banquet
probably will cost will be raised, Sec
retary Whalen said, by private sub
scription. He said that the banquet
that would be served to all of the
$4,000 men in the various armories
that are to be thrown open to them
would be paid for by private subscrip-
ton also.
BANQUET for Soldiers
The banquet to the officers will be
served the night before the parade
and land pageant Of welcome. The
soldiers will march up Fifth Avenue
from Washington Square at noon and
viii be reviewed by Mayor Hylan, Gov
ernor Smith and members of both vel
coming committee and officials Of the
city, state and national government
from a reviewing stand near the Mu-
scum Of Art, on Fifth Avenue.
Then the soldiers will march to the
se7eral armories that will be convert
ed into banquet halls for them during
the day. A dinner will be prepared
Tor them, but they will be given an op-
portunity TO serve it themselves.
Because Of shortage of mattresses
and some confusion that grew out Of

be self-gervice banquet. Each sol
der will carry his own chicken din
