URGE EXAMPLE OF
SELF-DETER TERMINATION

That friends of Irish independence
in the American Congress could make
more effective impression on Great
Britain by granting Philippine indie
pendence than by merely expressing
sympathy with Irish aspirations is the
suggestion contained in statement is
sued by the Philippine Press Bureau
of Washington, D. C.
Twice in period Of nine months"
reads the statement, "the United States
senate went on record as being in SYM
pathy with the aspirations of the Irish
people for government of their own
choice
"Still another way for the friends Of
Irish independence in the American
Congress to make an impressive argu-
ment would be to grant the independ-
ence that the 10,500,O0O inhabitants Of
the Philippines have repeatedly de.
manded Americas own representa-
tives in the islands have officially re-
ported they are ready for independence
and have recommended that such inde-
pendence be granted.
we submit that the granting Of
Philippine independence would be like.
ly to be accepted by Great Britain as
even stronger proof of Americas be-
lief in self-determination than the pas
sage of the Irish resolutions, because
Great Britain's councillors of state
could not then successfully make the
point that the American Congress Is
asking Great Britain to do something
the United States itself has been asked
to do and has not done.
The Filipino people have confidence
in the word Of America and hope that
now that the Senate has reiterated its
sympathy with the principle of self
determination 1t will give Great Brit
ain and the other powers of the world |
n concrete example of consistency and |
good faith by granting Philippine in
dependence"

YANKEE YACHT
ResoIute Has Led In Both

Winning tuesday.
CREW PRAYING FOR WIND
Race Enthusiasts Disappointed
BY Yesterdays Uninter-
esting Attempt.

NEW YORK, July 18.-With the
odds still favoring Resolute, Ameri-
can entry in the International yacht
races, yachting enthusiasts here are
praying and hoping today for pro-
pitious weather on Tuesday, when
the third race of the series with
Shamrock Nv will be held.
BOTH CREWS DIsAPPOINTED.
There was great disappointment to-
day among members Of both crews
and among sporting enthusiasts over
yesterdays miserable race, a race
made uninteresting and unexciting by
lack Of enough breeze to blow the
yachts. ,kyNr !, the. course within. the

account of the unfavorable weather
conditions, and with Shamrock Nv
Claiming the first race. as the result
OF the collapse Of the Resolute's sails.
members of the Resolute's crew are
eager for the start of Tuesdays con-
test. confident that from the showing
so far made they will be able to ride
to victory three successive times.
Bald headed time pulled sure VIC
tory of the Resolute shrouds yester-
day after the 1.-the American glider
had left the Shamrock trailing more
than four miles to the rear, in the
second race for Americas cup.
shamrock w was a dim white
tower, hopelessly outdistanced. when
the sun dropped toward the horizan
and registered 7:46. the end Of the
six-hour period in which the rules re-
quire that the race be run.
The stay sails of the leader crump-
led and disappeared as the James
Doherty, its tender, came alongside
in order to tow 1T to shore. Both
watches loitered on deck talking in
whispers. Two sailors broomed the
deck for rope yarns and dust which
had accumulated.
The officers grouped abaft the mast
quietly discussed the race. Occa-
sionally a spurt of passion lit up the
sotto voce of the discussion, which.
we venture to say, took the form of
a round cracking deep sea cuss.
WIND DIES DOWN.
The hard blowing eight-knot wind
which had swept the Resolute far
beyond the reach Of the less FORUM
ate challenger faded to a thin puffer
at o'clock. The sea which had been
scanned and puckered by the wind
showed everywhere greasy save in the
places where II was dotted by cat
paws and Willy waws. 1t was with
difficulty that the Resolute rounded
the second turn of Long Branch. The
wind had by this time freshened in
the vicinity of the Shamrock and as
Resolute rounded the white triangle
the Upton craft loomed UP gaining In
the distance. Resolute was able to
get only three miles from the second
turn when time was called.
The defender won her lead through
her good fortune in finding an oasis
