WASHINGTON. April 3.-Onc of the
important reasons for sending General
Leonard Wood to the Philippines, it
was learned to-day, was to obtain for
President Harding and the Admins
tration comprehensive report on the
military and trategic situation in the
Far East
1t is not admitted officially that this
reason for the Wood mission is regard
ed as so important as the necessity of
quoting the Philippine situation, but
1t is earned from unquestioned author
ity that the Far Eastern military and
strategic problem is considered of very
real Importance.
While details Of what General Wood
may report as necessary in the Far
Eastern military situation are purely
speculative, it is thought here that he
certainly will advocate making Manila
BAY strong naval base, we'll equipped
with aircraft, mines, submarines and
destroyers. Some naval officers believe
that at least one hundred of the three
hundred destroyers now in commission
should be established with Manila as
their base
An adequate force of destroyers.
svbmarlnes, mines and aircraft located
there would make it almost impossible.
some naval experts he~c believe, for
any nation to seize he islands in the
event of war.
Wood Relieved of Details
Arrangements have been made to re-
neve General Wood of much of the
detailed work of investigating condi-
items in the islands. Ex-Governor w.
cameron Forbes, who was named the
other member of the Wood mission. is
hscal expert, and will go into the
banking problems which have. caused
SO much trouble. This will leavel Gen
erai Wood more or less free for the
larger phases of the problem.

fitness of the Filpinos for sef-gov-

it is the intention of the Administra
ton to take several steps with view
not only to quicting the situation but
to restoring prosperity in the islands.
One of these is a definite statement
CT policy to the world that the present
status of the Philippines will be con-
tinued for twenty-five years. The idea
of this is to give capital the assurance
that it will have quarter of CEN
tury of government which will have
whatever stability the United States
government continues to have. Fur
ther, it will make it possible for the

palities of the islands to borrow money

Thomas Hepburn, fifteeny year-old son
of DR.. and Mrs Thomas Hepburn, of
352 Laurel Street, Hartford, Conn,
hanged himself with sheet at the
home of his aunt, Mrs. Sarah Towl, 26
Charlton Street, yesterday, two days
after he had witnessed motion pic
ture in which hanging was depicted.
According to relatives of the lad, he
was depressed by the picture and com
mented on the horror of it, but he was
believed to have recovered entirely
from the effect it had made on his mind,
because on the following day, Satur-
day, he accompanied an uncle in seeing
the sights of New York, visited the
Woolworth tower, and in the evening
played banjo and sang with his aunt,
Mrs. Towl, and a sister, who had ar
rived from Hartford on Thursday to
visit with him at his aunt's home.
The. body was found by Hepburn's
sister hanging from a rafter in the
upper floor of the house when she went
to arouse him yesterday morning. The
girl was unable to obtain an answer
from her brother and summoned Mrs.
FOWL. who assisted her in forcing the
