THERE IS NEITHER EAST NOR WEST

Lord Bacon said "The genius, wit, and
spirit of nation are discovered in it's
proverbs It is important for the Amer
lean people to know as much as possible
about what their wards, the Filipinos, are
like. TO help them attain this end, Jorge
Bocobo, dean Of the College of Law in the
University of the Philippines, has made
collection OF proverbs, handed down by word
of mouth from generation to generation, of
the Filipino people. Most of them suggest
that human nature is pretty much the same
on both sides of the globe Here are some
Of them
Bravery-A hero is drawer for his wounds.
1t is too late to withdraw when you are
already wounded
Caution-A fish is caught by the mouth
Repentance never comes first
Courage is of two sorts; one goes forward
the other retires.
Haste creates delay.
There is a snake in every Jungle
there it falls
IT'S easy to be born, it's hard to be
man.
He who is raised in ease is usually desti-
tute.
Choice-He who is hard to suit will choose
the worst.
Compensation laugh today, | laugh
tomorrow.
Counsel-He who despises counsel is on the
way to misfortune.
Merit-The quality of gold is known by rub

OUR MILITARY TRAGEDIES
When court-martial of the United
States army tried, convicted and ordered

San Houston before the president of the
United States had time to stay the proceed
ings, the colored citizens all over this
country and probably majority of the
white citizens denounced the proceedings
as drastic, yea even brutal, and especially
under the circumstances but miitarism
was the autocrat of the land and the I'M
fortunates being black men the matter was
hushed up. However. embolden by that
piece of barbaric brutality. the autOcrat
went from bad to worse until he made the
shades of Nero hang his head in shame
Now comes Senator Chamberlain, Demo-
crat of Oregon, who has started an investi-
cation of the acts of this military autocrat,
who, it is said, committed some Of the most
dastardly crimes that has ever before been
recorded in military circles. Speaking to
the proposed investigation the senator said:
The fact that already the clemency board
has reduced the sentences in the aggregate
from $4,000 years to 500 years, is proof
positive that the sentences were out of all
proportion to the crimes committed These
six thousand years ought to be wiped out
or placed at an irreducible minimum.
81 want the people to understand the
terror inflicted upon our young men by
these sentences and also the cruelties prac-
ticed against them
''The Spanish nquisition was not mark
to some Of the cruelties practised against
these soldiers in France"
Let's hope that some way will be found
to bring every criminal wretch among those
military autocrats to justice and they each
be given life Imprisonment.

FIND CREEL FAMILY WEALTH
Two Million Pesos Mas Turned Over
to Mexican Government for
Identification.

Mexico City.-When representatives
of the famous Creel family of Chi
huahua recently appeared before the
government officials here with requests
for information regarding the where
abouts of mining, railway and other
valuable stock valued at close to q
100000 pesos, they were astonished to
learn that the stock, as well as about
100000 pesos in paper money. was
held by the national treasury for iden-
~tiication of ownership and that it only
had been discovered q few months ago.
According to published accounts,
workmen, while cleaning out a spare
room In the building used by the fed
eral district government, found a score
of locked boxes which contained the
paper money and shares. Neither the
governor of the federal district, Gen.
Alfredo Breceda, nor the district court,
after guarded Investigations, could
determine who owned the treasure, 80
1t was turned over In trust to the
national treasury.
The theory is that during the first
revolutionary troubles which resulted
in the downfall Of Porfirio Diaz the
boxes were sent from Chihuahua to q
private residence Of the Creels here
and that when the Zapatistas first en-
tered Mexico City they were placed In
charge Of the federal district govern
ment.
The Creel representative stated that
a large sum Of metallic currency and
a valuable collection of jewels also
were being sought. but Of these easily
realizable riches no trace has been dis
covered.

Major Crasher, the stockbroker, lately

a business talk over the telephone
with the phrase: "Righto, my dear

Was that familiar style Of address
to be considered quite all right and,
In fact, rather agreeable, or something
the reverse?
Then the young lady clerk who used
to be in the war Office rings her mother
