MOOSE HOME MAY
 BE LOCATED HERE
Supreme Officers of Order Declare Birmingham An
 Ideal Location

Birmingham may be selected as the To- cation of home for the aged members of the Loyal Order of Moose.
 James J. Davis. director general: Will liam Trickett Giles, supreme lecturer, of the Order of Moose, and William Page of Memphis, left Birmingham late last night after having investigated sew eral sites in the city during the past several days.
 Last night at the Machinists' hall they met with the. members of the Birming- ham Lodge No AT, of the Loyal Order of Moose, and many plans were dis cussed whereby the home could be es- abolished in Birmingham.
 MT Giles stated that he saw no reason why the home could not be established nere, as Birmingham looked to be ar ideal place to him.
 The supreme council had decided that the home must be in the south, because of climatic conditions said Mir Giles That is why we are making a tour ol the principal cities of the south study. ing the different sites that are presented
 The home as it has been planned by the officials of the supreme council, vii cover something like twenty acres It is not the plan to house the inmates all up in one place, but to ,e- them have little cottages of their own, so that they can have little space to have a gar den and raise chickens, and in many ways help to make the.r last days happy"
 Mr. Davis and MT. Gile5 have already examined numerous s.tts in North anc South Carolina and in Kentucky, ant will report on the sites they have inves tigated at. special meeting of the su preme council which will be held at ar early date.

FILIPINO STRIKE
 IS EXPLAINED

Washington, August 12.-(Special)- In explanation of the recent strike against English newspapers printed in the Philippines by Filipino people em- ployed by such newspapers, the Philip pine Press Bureau of Washington says:
 The cause was the publication in the American papers in Manila of edi- torials disparaging. to the Filipino peo-. pie and representing them to visiting congreSsmen as not deserving inde- pendence. The members of the United States Congress were warned that the myriad of things before their eyes were not typical of Philippine life This was tantamount to saying that the Filipinos were deceivers. Whereupon the native employees indignantly walked out"
 That the sentiment among the Fili pinos was bitter is indicated in the fol- lowing statement of the strikers print ed in Spanish newspaper of Manila. copies of which have been sent to Washington:
 "No Filipino loving his country could tolerate the affront of the newspapers defaming us before the congressman now in Manila Let patriotic Americans imagine these insults being applied to their own country. Let them remem Der the Lynch law"
 The Philippine press bureau Charges that the editorials of the American newspapers were printed in order to retain the islands under the dominion of the United States. Nevertheless. Congress is on record as favoring the absolute independence of the Philippine islands just as soon a the people of the islands are capable of ehgovern- ment.
 Three members of the congressional party, despite the editorials referred to, printed formal interviews favoring immediate independence. One of them was Representative Small of North Carolina.
