END MISSION j COMES FROM
 PHILIPPINES
Body Headed by Senate Presi- dent Quezon ReiterateS De-
 mand for Independence.

That the Filipino people are in earn- est in their demand for immediate in- dependence is indicated by the coming to the United States of second Philip pine mission to work for independence. Coincident with this announcement the War Department received a cable from Manila stating that the all-Filipino leg islature had adopted resolutions re- iterating its plea for immediate inde- pendence.
 The second mission, like the first, ia composed of the leading men of the is- lands and will work In the United States not only for immediate inde- pendence, but also to bring about "bet- ter understanding, greater confidence and closer economic relations between the United States and the Philippines.-
 The mission Is again headed by Man. uel l.. QueZon, president of the Philip pine Senate, who is we'll known in America, having been for six years res ident commissioner to the United

NATURE SPEEDED TO
 OVERCOME SHORTAGE
Necessary Supply of FIaxseed
 Grown in Porto Rico.
Brought Back to This Country in Time for Spring PIanting-Superior Quality of Flax Produced
 From Selected Strains.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 When an improved variety of seed is very badly needed to make up national shortage of a commodity, the natural increase is not always rapid enough. One way in which an un- natural speeding up may be secured is shown by the work of the United States department of agriculture with flaxseed. Foreign supplies of flax coming into the United States were severely reduced during the war and an increase of flax acreage became imperative. A large number of pedi- gree selections and increase plats of the best varieties were grown during the summer of 1918 at the experiment station at East Lansing, Mich. In the fall of that year selections of seed of various strains were taken to Porto Rico, and an increase crop was grown during the winter. The increased supply of seed thus produced was brought back to the United States in

SOLDIERS FOR WOOD.

We went into the war grossly un' prepared, but General Wood had been the foremost leader in the army for preparation. AS chief of staff and as the leader of the movement for mod. ernization of the army, as the creator of the training camp and its system of intensive training. his contribution to our military success was of the first rank. If the politicians try to create the impression that soldier candidate is necessarily an undeslra. ble candidate they will find the sol diers resenting the effort.-Chicagc Tribune.

States. Mir. Quezon and the Hon. Ser gio osmena, Speaker of the Philippine House of Representatives and Vice President of the Council of State, are the leaders of the Nacionalista party, which has been fin power since 1907.
 While Speaker Osmena is not so we'll known in the United States as Quezon, he is considered one of the ablest men in the islands. Senate President Que zon recently referred to osmena az "the greatest Filipino since Rizal."
 The personal relations between Os- mena and Quezon are probably without a parallel in modern politics. They have been the leading political figures in the islands for 12 years, yet there has never been the slightest indication of rivalry between them. Throughout their college life as we'll as their long political service each has refused to be candidate for any position that the other aspired to.
 During the years Quezon was the Philippine delegate in the American Congress he won the esteem and con- fidence of both the Republican and Democratic sides of the chamber. Whenever he spoke he was assured of a good attendance. One of the offcial short hand reporters once declared Quezon used the purest English of any member of the House.
 Osmena, as president of the Nacion- alista party, Is the leader of the na- tional movement for independence.

These stems developed by several generations of selection produce flax, reports the chief of the bureau of plant industry, that is de- cidedly superior to fiber flax grown from commercial seed of either recent or remote importation. The cultiva- tion of fiber flax has become an es- tablished industry in eastern Michi- gan and the Willamette valley in Ore gon. In addition, the crop was culd- vated during the past season in wesb ern Washington, southeastern Mime sota, southern Wisconsin, and west ern New York.

Delaware Waterway Delegates Back
Home Encouraged Over Meeting.
Delaware delegates to the conven-
tion of the Atlantic Deeper Waterways
Association at Atlantic City, who
have just returned reported the meet
ing one of the most successful ever
held. A. d. Warner, Jr., president of
the Wilmington Chamber of Com
merce; George A. Elliott, John Rich
ardson, Jr., and George M. Moreton
were among those who represented
the local organization.
Mr.. Warner said there was rela-
lively little mention of the Sassafras
canal project. This has been much
talked of at Baltimore as a means to
connect that city directly with the
ocean across the Eastern shore.
The Sassafras project, he said, ap-
peared to be favored only by small
number of Blatimoreans, the ma
jority of delegates from that city and
from the rest of Maryland seeming
to favor deepening and widening the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
Work on the canal should be
pushed as rapidly as possible, Mr..
Warner said, and also the proposed
ship canal across New Jersey linking
up the Delaware river with Raritsan
Pay. Rights of way from Borden
town to Morgan Island have been
secured, it is understood, and are Of
fered as a contribution form the
Raritan Bay section to the public
welfare.

HONOLULU SUGAR MAY
BREAK JAP STRIK T,

fHN Associated PfeSSl
HONOLULU, July 28.-The strike
of sugar plantation laborers, princi-
pally Japanese and t'ilipinos, which
began January 10 last, was declared
over July i, following conference
between ? committee of laborers and
John Waterhouse, president of the
Hawaii Sugar Planters association.
Immediately the striking laborers
began pouring back to the planta-
tions and it was expected that early
this month all the approximately
5000 men still out would have re-
turned to the fields and mills.
Officials of the Hawaiian Laborers
association, successor to the Fedora
ton of japanese labor which called
the strike, in telling the members of
the organization to return to work
are reported as having claimed vic
tory for the workers. This view was
also taken in reports of the strikes
end printed in Japanese papers Of
Honolulu, which intinlated that GER
tain concessions, presumably as to
wages, bonus rates and working
hours had been obtained from the
planters.
, President Waterhouse Of the
Planters association, however, en-
phaticaily announced that the associ
alton in dealing with the committee
of laborers had not been dealing with
the laborers' federation, but with the
workers themselves, and that no CON
ccssions had been made by the plant
crs association, and that the strikers
would have to apply for work on the
status Of new hands.

FRIENDS SERVICE NOT TO
TAKE ALL HOOVER S WORK
(By Associated Press)


PHILADELPHIA, July %. The
American Friends Service committee
Of Philadelphia does not intend to
take over all of the child feeding
operations in Central Europe, now
conducted by Herbert Hoover through
the American Relief administration,
according to an announcement made at
the offices here.
The latest cable from the Berlin
office states that 632 900 children are
now being fed daily in 6S cities in
Germany. This probably will be de-
creased during the harvest period
when fresh vegetables and fruit will
be more plentiful" the message says.
Beginning with September the num-
Der of children fed will increase again
to at least 100000 and will continue
without a break until the summer of
