 We, too, stand for the angels; but we have in mind more substantial type than those winged seraphs of whom Disraeli spoke, though we do not at all doubt that if their merits are considered in the accounting they will mount on pinions, should they desire to do so.

In the appeal to the trainers Of the

ton protested that they are not wor-
rying about the possibility or prob
ability of Japan swooping down upon
the islands some fine day and an
nexing them. Explaining their posi-
ton, Commissioner de Veyra said:
philippine independence, in our
opinion, is not inimical to Japanese
interests. The Japanese are now free
to come to the Philippines, but, ac-
cording to the census just COM
pleted, there are only 1854 Japanese
in the islands. The new census shows
there are $4,000 Japanese in Cali
fornia alone, or nineteen times as
many as in the entire Philippine
archipelago"
Congressmen are coming to be-
lieve-and this is being forced upon
them in letters from constituents
that the Filipinos are gradually
arousing the average Americans
sense of fair play. They are doing
this not by any underground meth
DDS of subterfuge and secret political
plotting. but by a straightforward,
open, honest appeal direct to the
American people.
AS showing the quality of citizen-
ship that is unanimous in asking for
independence, it is pointed out that
only per cent of the population
are non-Christians, and that the Fill
pinos have been Christians for 800
years. Their University of Santo
Tomas is twenty-five years older than
Harvard. English Is taught exclusive

Hes As BashfuI As a Sunfower.
BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN.

A LIED peace terms have been
~ submitted to the Turk. He
n has calmly, but not without
some degre of arrogance de-
clined to submit to the complete sew
erance of nationalistic ties in south
eastern Europe and Asia Minor. These
peoples, supposedly less able than any
others to resist allied dictates, today
loom as the ones to most persistently
defy the entente and make ridiculous
the idealism professed by the trainers
of those covenants by which the
world was to obtain everlasting peace.
Once more it has been proven that
there must be more than the mere
saying that this or that shall be in
adjustment of old world relationships.
Events of the past week have but
crystalized the six-month-old whis-
pered fear that the Turkish issue
would loom to hazard the safety of
Europe. The Turkish menace today
is not one that can be ignored.
Must Resort to War.

troubles, economical and social, has
found it necessary to resort to war TO

likely, owing to the temper of peoples
in some allied countries, that definite
and continued assault upon the Turks,
causing, as it will. increased expen-
diLure of millions in money and un-
told lives, will lead to governmental
crises and bitter political campaigns
in at least two countries, namely:
Italy and France. The temper of the
peoples here is against war. Four
years of frightful slaughter have been
sufficient to cool hotheads.
Even though governments at the
moment may strive to press the
Turkish issue to conclusion it will be

fact that the allies have a determined

FIND W|[LFUL- -EVAS|ONS
OF WAR Luxury TAX

Several cases of willful evasion of
the war luxury tax in the District of
Columbia have been uncovered in the
past two weeks by agents of the bu-
reau of internal revenue, the bureau
announced yesterday. In two of these
cases indictments probably will be
asked and a penalty imposed
The two most fragrant cases in
which evasion of the tax has been
found are in the retail fur business,
bureau officials said. 1t was intimat-
ed that the maximum penalty may be
asked in these cases to furnish ex-
amples to others who evade the tax.
Other evaders of the tax have been
found in the transportation business
and in the candy business Most of
these have been proved to be evaders
through misunderstanding rather
than any deliberate attempt to de-
fraud the government and will not
be prosecuted vigorously A small
fine probably will be imposed in some
cases, however.
Cases in which willful evasion of the
tax is found will be presented to Dis
trict Attorney Laskey as soon as full
evidence is found, and indictments
asked. Names of those dealers against
whom indictments will be asked will
not be made public until presented to
the grand Jury

Clashes Show Sentiment.
All have openly agreed to the die
tates of the Paris conference. but
secretly there never has been a let-up
in efforts to realize the nationalistic
dreams which oftentimes have not been
encroached upon in dictates of the
larger powers. This is evidenced by the
clashes between Poles and Czechs, be-

Serbs and the Austrians, the Bulgarians
and the Serbs. Albanians and the
Italians, the Montenegrins and the Serbs

Europe.
Peace terms were accepted because it
was deemed expedient to accept them
for the time being.
But it is not in the nature OF the

Leaders in Congress admit that the
granting of independence to the 10,-

refinement compare very favorably
with those of other nations. is very
near and that it will be given con-
sideration in the next session of Con-

commissioner from the Philippines to
the United States, who headed a dele
cation of prominent Filipinos to the
national conventions Of the two to-
litical parties at Chicago and San
Francisco, will sail with the hum
dred congressman for the Philippines.
Inclusion in the platform of the
democratic national convention of a
plank calling for immediate Philip

New York Historical Society and
which formed the basis for a paper
which the late Hugh T. Taggart read
before the Columbia Historical Society
in this city in 1907. The Rambler
quoted Mr.. Taggart as saying that
there was no evidence that Capt. John
Smith ascended the Potomac river as
far as Little Falls in 1908 and that
'it seems to be demonstrable that he
had been preceded many years by the
