COLE MISS" SPIRIT.

Slowly its followers have fallen
From the battles strife;
Powerlessly calls the throbbing drum
And shrill, screaming fife;
Across the rolling battlefield
Scattered here and there,
Are a few Wondering mounds,
Loved for the colors they bear.
rce this lowly host was an army
In all its glory and might,
Worthy of any foeman's steel
When challenged to the fight.
Then these tattered ensigns
Were carried by brave men,
But what change time has wrought
Between lowly NOW and proud
THEN.
Have those heroes worked in vain?
Their banners are covered with dust
And the principles they fought for
Are allowed to weather and rust,
How long will those sacred memories
Be stifled by factionism's sway?
How long will carelessness and indif-
ference
Aid and hasten loyalty, decay?

oughly at home that she captivated ev-
erybody."
On another occasion while in Wash
ington Miss Aguinaldo was given real
ovation by a Filipino-American audi
ence when she recited "My Last Fare
WE'LL" poem of Dr. Jose Rial, the Fill
ipino martyr.
Miss Aguinaldo is student at the
University Of Illinois, Urbana, Ill.
While in Washington she was the
guest of Mrs Jaime G. deVeyra, wife
Of one Of the resident commissioners
from the Philippines The Capitol
building and the Congressional library
appealed particularly to the young
Filipino, while the beautiful sights
from the Washington monument thrill
ed her with delight When asked how
she liked America, she smiled and an
swered:
sIt is a wonderful country. l didn't
like winter at first, but since l have
learned how to skate am having fine
times. All the Americans whom have
met have been very good to me. My
friends In Urbana and my classmates
in the university are just lovely, but /
cannot help feeling homesick at times
because 1 am missing my father. My
coming here was indeed great sacri-
fee for him, for we are very close. He
is so good to me-"
Miss Aguinaldo is intensely patriotic.
She does not conceal her resentment
when she hears or reads of misrepre-
sentation Of the Filipinos. 1T is un-
fortunate" she once exclaimed in
voice full of sadness, "that my country
and my people are hardly known, much
less understood, by the people Of Am
erica"
Politics is tabooed in any conversa-
ton with this Filipino maid. She
eyades the topic by replying that she
is too young to express opinions on
things political. "All l can say" she
declares. "is that l share with my
father in the desire for independence
for my natlVe ldHu. AHeIc 10 III qu00r
ton about our being able to govern
ourselves"
Filipinos declare Miss Aguinaldo has
a "genuine Filipino temperament
that is. she does not believe in the oc-
cidental custom of dates between
Young men and women. She does not
see anything wrong in it, she says, but
II is such a violent departure from the
custom in the Philippines that she can
not adopt it.
"You might laugh at me-" she said,
"but / cannot go out with one single
escort unchaperoned. I simply can't.
| I will 90 back to my country with the
| soul of Filipino"
A newspaper in one Of the large Am
erican cities that Miss Aguinaldo visit
cd expressed the opinion that she
| would no doubt be greatly impressed
nv the sight Of street cars and some OF
the fine residences she would see, but
the truth is the young lady was raised
| IN Manila. where she, has seen an up
! to-aate street car system all her life.

roads to Meet Country's
Growing Demands.

The American railroads are more
than one-third of the railways of the
world. The traffic hauled on the rail
ways Of the United States is now three
times as great as 1t was twenty years
ago. In four months now the railroads
carry as much freight and as many
,neISs1akReEa as they did than in q year.
ln en8 lnfee l10Dtl6 alone Of the har-
vest movement in 1919 the trafic equal
ed that Of the whole year Of 1898.
In 1898 freight ton miles carried by
the railroads Of the country were more
than 100000. 100000 a year. In 1910
they were more than 25O.OOO, ,0OO. 900,
in 1913 more than 300 O,OOO. 100000 and
in 1918 more than 400, 600, 100000. Al
though the railway mileage increased
only about 65 per cent since 1890. i'm
provements in tracks, terminals, equip
ment. ETC., have been SO marked that
the volume Of goods carried measured
in the number Of freight tons carried
one mile) increased more than five
times from 1890 to 1917.
Increased Efficiency.
Taking account of both freight and
passenger service, the railroads in 1900
hauled $4,000 traffic units tfreight
tons carried one mile, plus passengers
carried one mile) for each railway en-
ployee. By 1917, the last year of pri-
vate operation Of the railroads prior to
the entry of the United States into the
war, that 10000 had been increased
to 100000.
The following table shows the in
crease In efficiency Of American rail-
roads since 1906, which enabled the
railroads to keep pace with the growth
Of the country:
Ton miles increased. ....... 1907
Passenger miles increased. 1900
Trackage increased ........ $500
Cars and engine increased. 1870
Workers Increased ......... $3.50
Output per worker increased 609o
Average train load increased 1900
These figures show that the traffic
hauled by the railroads of the country
has Increased more than three times
as fast as the trackage, more than
twice as fast as the equipment and
more than twice as fast as the number
of workers. This has been made pos
sible by far-sighted investment of new
capital to increase the efficiency of the
transportation facilities and thereby
enable the railroads to increase the
amount of traffic handled and reduce
the amount of labor required to handle
