Sergt. Hoffman received the
Distinguished Service Gross for
an act Of conspicuous gallantry
In action with the enemy near
Chateau-Thlerry France, June
9, 1918. Immediately after the
company to which Sergt. Hof-
man belonged had reached Its
objective on Hill 142, several
counter-attacks were launched
against the line before the new
position had been consolidated.
Sergt. Hoffman was attempting
to organize a position on the
north slope of the hill when he
saw twelve of'the enemy. armed
with fv' light machine guns,
crawling toward his group. Civ
ing the alarm, he rushed at the
hostile detachment, bayonetted
the two leaders, and forced the
others to flee, abandoning their
guns. His quick initiative and
courage routed the enemy from
q position from which they
could have swept the hill with
machine gun fire and forced the
withdrawal OF our forces. His

tory, first, because she wants it; and
second, because it will benefit her.
Responsible Japanese officials have
time and again said that they do not
want the Philippines. DR.. Iyenaga,
one of Japan's most active publicity
agents in the United States, once said
that Japan would not accept the
Philippines, even as gift. UNLESS
that gift should be accompanied not
by $4,000, 900, the sum you gave to
Spain, but by round billion of dol
lars to be expended for the education
and development of the Filipinos,
Japan would surely decline your Of
fer. Japan has no use for the Philip
pines for colonization purposes be-
cause it's climate is as untitled to us
for that purpose as it is for you.
Our experience in Formosa has con-
vinced us of that"
Many Japanese believe that with
Korea, Manchuria and Formosa,
Japan is sufficiently occupied with
territorial dominions, and that in
the long run it would be more adj
vantageous for her to adopt a policy
of Righteousness and fair dealing
with all nations than to seek. new
fields of conquest. An assurance to
that effect would greatly strengthen
her friendship with the allies, and
consequently, her own credit abroad.
And Japan knows that to attempt to
take the Philippines after the United
States had set them up as republic,
and had so proclaimed before the
world, would be viewed in America
as an hostile act and direct chal-
lenge to the United States.
But there is another factor, would
the Filipinos be willing to become
subjects of Japan? The Japanese
themselves know too we'll that they
would not. DR.. Nitobe, possibly the

Ten million Filipinos are not such
a very small people. Separated
from Asia by tremendous waterways,
they feel themselves to be in a splen-
did isolation. They think that they
have a fairly good opportunity to
work out their own destiny, and in
a short time to be able fully and eff
fectively to take care Of themselves.
Was independence ever attained by
any nation without the people taking
chance? If absolute safety from
foreign aggression was an essential
condition to independence, how many
nations would be independent to-
day? Could Belgium alone have
withstood the attacks of Germany?
Could France? And yet, who would
say that these two countries should
not be independent?
The Filipino people showed during
the European confiict-that they could
unitedly respond to the call of war.
They organized and equipped full
division which was ready to embark
for France when the armistice was
signed Without the aid of a draft
law, dlJlO LHc Cdll was Ouly LUZ 1c,-
900 men, 10000 volunteered, includ-
ing the best young men of the Philip
pines, the very flower of our youth.
Granted their ideal of independ-
ence, inspired by the destiny that
awaits them, the ten million Filipinos
will make it their business to see to
it that they have chance of develop
ing their country and making it, in
the words of their representatives,
. safe place of law, order, justice
and liberty, where Americans and
foreigners as we'll as Nationals may
live peacefully in the pursuit of
happiness and prosperity and safely
in the enjoyment of their property
as we'll as of their rights and their
liberty"

EX-CROWN PRINCE
FLIES TO HUNLAND
EXILE REPORTED TO HAVE MADE
HIS ESCAPE FROM DUTCH q.
PRISON HOME.
Believed Possible That Former Emper-
or's Eldest Son May Be Figuring
on Desperate Political Move in
Germany.

Paris.-Frederick William Hohenzol-
Tern, the former German crown prince,
has escaped from Holland and made
bis way into Germany.
News of the escape of the ex-crown
prince caused considerable stir in
peace conference circles. While 1t Is
not felt that he is figure around
which the reactionaries and monarch
lists would gather enthusiastically,
nevertheless, his act is regarded as an
event of considerable significance in
view of other German reca1citrancy.
Hints have come from Germany
within the last few days that the mill
tary caste there would not be averse
to bringing about a military situation
within the former empire that would
embarrass the allies in putting the
peace treaty into effect, and it seems
not improbable that the move made by
the ex-crown prince is connected with
some such plan.
The former crown prince made his
way into Holland shortly after the
signing of the armistice last NOvem-
Der, and was interned there by the
Dutch government, taking up his resi-
dence on the island of Wieringen, in
the Zuyder Zee.
Former Emperor William is planning
to speedily return to Germany before
the entente can demand his surrender
from Holland, according to Stuff
CART dispatch to the Neue Berliner
Zeitung. The dispatch states that the
Dutch government thoroughly APP
proves of his return, as the former
emperor is an unwelcome guest and
his presence is increasing the prob
lem before that country"
