BY WILLIAM j. Y

The greatest personal victory yet
won in this Democratic convention was
scored by a young Filipino by the name
of Jose P. Melencio. He has charge Of
the Philippine Publicity Bureau at
Washington.
He is only twentyasix years old and
received his education in the public
schools Of the Philippines-under
American teachers, as he proudly
boasted-and at Georgetown, D. G.
He is a remarkably promising young
man.
Speaking with grace, using the best
language and without a trace Of en-
barrassment, he presented the claim
of the Filipinos t. independence. The
audience was astonished at the
strength of his argument, the skill
with which he marshaled his facts and
the high one of his speech. He capti-
waited everyone and committeeman and
visitors paid him the compliment Of
rising and cheering when he concluded
his plea.
When one of the committee asked
him some questions he returned to the
platform and answered them with as
much logic and precision as If he had
taken weeks to prepare his answer. It
was a remarkable triumph.

AMERICANS ABROAD
IN RED CROSS WORK
United States Citizens Far AWAY
Enthusiastic Members of the
Fourteenth" Division.

Among the most enthusiastic and
Red Cross are those citizens Of the
United States who live outside the
continental boundaries of their country
sons and daughters of the Stars and
Stripes residing at the far corners Of
the earth.
These people compose the Insular
and Foreign Division of the parent or
ganization, generally known as the
Fourteenth" Division, which has
jurisdiction of all territory outside
the country proper; that is, Alaska,
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the
Philippines, Guam, and even the is
land Of zap, which came under our
flag as q result Of the world war. For
the year 1920 this division reported
50,S0S paid up members.
The main object Of this division is
to give our citizens everywhere the op-
portunity to participate in the work
of the organization which stands for
the best national ideals. Americans
in far places intensely loyal and pa
%triotic, treasure their membership in
the Red Cross as the outward ex-
preston Of their citizenship. 1t is an
other tie to the homeland and to
each other. There are chapters of
this division in Argentine, Bolivia,
Brazil, Canal zone, Chile, China, Costa
Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, England, France, Guam,
Guatemala, Haiti, Hawaii, Honduras,
Japan, Manchuria, Netherlands, Mica
ragua, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines,
Porto Rico, Siberia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Uruguay,
Venezuela and Virgin Islands.
During the war these scattered
members Of the Red Cross contrib
uted millions in money, and millions
Of dollars worth Of necessary articles
for the men In service, and sent many
doctors and nurses to France. At the
same time they carried on an excel
lent Home Service in their respective
communities for the families Of those
who had gone to war, and in some re-
gions gave large suns Of money and
unreasonable personal service to the
relief Of disaster and disease victims.
The division is now establishing
service clubs In foreign ports for the
benefit of sailors in the American Mer-
chant Marine, making plans to aid
Americans in trouble in foreign lands
and completing arrangements for CIV
ing immediate adequate relief in case
Of disaster.
1t Is the Fourteenth Divisions part
in the great Peace Time program OF
the American Red Cross.
