WOULD PROHIBIT D0G-EATING
Custom Common Among the Ieorots
Is Declared to Be Undesirable
for Many Reasons.

Those who remember the article in
ing of the cruelties connected with
the killing Of dogs for food among the
Igorots, says Our Dumb Animals,
will be glad to know that it has
aroused sufficient interest to cause
the Manila Daily Bulletin to say, &C
cording to a clipping we have just re-
ceived:
"The Office of the Department of the
Interior is constantly receiving from
persons in the United States, mostly
women, letters protesting against dog
eating in the mountain province
among the Igorots, it was declared by
Secretary Kalaw of the department.
All of them, he said, urge that in the
interests of civilization and better
and higher mode of living, a law
should be passed by the Philippine
legislature prohibiting the sale and
the use of dogs as food material.
aside from the fact that the act
of eating dogs is highly undesirable
the letters state, it is very inhumane
The lgorots they state, like to eat
lean dogs and that the more bony
they are, the more palatable they
taste to the Igorots. Consequently,
when dog is bought in the dog mar
ket at Basuio or at any other place,
it is left to starve for many days be-
fore it is eaten, the communications
declare.
when asked if the passage of
law prohibiting the sale and the eat
ing of dogs by the igorots was in or
der, Secretary Kalaw declared that it
might be done in an indirect manner"

Japan-POssible Official Note win BE

By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial Dispatch to The Reformer)
Copyright 1921.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-Great
Britain has failed to take the United
States into her confidence in the negotia
tons going on at London and Toxic with
respect to the renewal of the Anglo-Jap-
anese alliance. sa.
The department of state deliberately
made point of that fact yesterday in
dispelling the rumors of the last few days
which for one purpose or another have
sought to give the impression that Eng
land was hand and glove with the United
States and wasn't attempting anything
that would possibly involve the British
on the side of the Japanese in the event
of q japanese American war.
The Washington government doesn't in
Sist that Great Britain is obliged to keep
America informed of the progress of the
negotiations. but it is Indignantly denied
that America is Il party directly or indi-
rectly to the negotiations. The United
States government Is in official ignorance
not only as To the negotiations LOT the re-
newal of the alliance, but as to the exact
effect of the present alliance on the atti-
tude of Great Britain toward q possible
conflict between the United States and
Japan. The latest and only information
available to the department of state con
cerrting the British attitude was trans
mitted when the under secretary for for
eign affairs was asked recently in the
house of commons whether the terms of
the treaty arrangement between England
and Japan include the possibility of as
SiStance to Japan in any conflict which
might arise between that country and
the United States. and if assurances on
this point have been given the Americas
government in connection with cOnsidera-
ton of a naval building program.
The question was asked largely to de
termne whether il would be necessary
for England to maintain her large navy
for future emergency of this kind and
whether it would be necessary for the
United States TO keep on building big
navy because of the excuse of a possible
conflict with Japan.
The answer publicly made in parlia-
ment disclosed that the present Anglo
Japanese alliance, which was signed in
1911 and expires next month, simply
provided that Great Britain was not
obliged to come to the assistance of
Japan if the latter got into a conflict
with any country with which England
had a general arbitration treaty" At
that time the United States senate had
under consideration such a treaty between
