SUGGESTS SELF
DETERMINATION

Washington, June 14.-The Phillip
pine Commission in Washington has
very promptly met the reports from
the Philippines following the visit Of
the Wood-Forbes commission in the
Islands, to the effect that Filipinos
do not really want independence with
a proposition that we heard a good
deal about in wartime, and that IS
"self determinations The 2Comm1s-
sion says that elf Congress will pass
bill granting independence, With
the qualification that a majority Of
the voters must first add their ap-
proval, it will be satisfactory to us.
This is our answer to the old snop-
worn canard that the Filipino people
do not really desire independence
The Filipinos take the position that
their independence is being opposed al
most entirely by the foreigners in the
Islands, and not the native sons. This
opposition is further supplemented by
the tremendous commercial and finan-
cial interest that regard their dollars
as of more importance than the free
dom of the Filipino people.

Soldier Relief

has provided for thorough investiga-

which deal with the sick and wound

of War Risk Insurance, the United

Federal Board for Vocational Educa-

amendments and changes in existing
laws as it may deem necessary for the
welfare of. fofmer service men and
their dependents.
According to a chart which was
published in the Congressional Record
on May 81 there are about $4,000 vet
Grams of the world war in hospitals,
of whom $4,000 are in government
hospitals and the otoher 10000 in con

Training Camps
To Be A Success
(By j. E. Jonesl


Washington, June 1.-THE Secre-

of the different States to cooperate
with him in making the citizens mill
tary training camps success. A
great many people opposed the Platts-
burg camp in 1916, but changed their
minds in 1917 Secretary Weeks has
suggested a vital asset in the broad
scheme Of national defense, and the
peace-loving people Of the Unitec
States who are disposed to rebel at the
thought of maintaining threatening
armaments to provoke any other ma
tion to war, have in their own keep
ing the matter Of making large stand
ing army unnecessary is they will
only sustain efforts like that OF the
Secretary Of War. This will assure Z
ompetent peace time military force
of trained men throughout the country.
Several million fat men at this
moment are going through violent forms
of exercise in the nature Of "physical

of superfluous human frontage. There
are almost equally as large number
Of Hskinnv' ones fattening up on

order to gain an extra pound. Exper-
i,nces in public schools, colleges and
ether educational institutions through

hat there is more real fun for men
to be had out Of military training than
any other kind Of physical exercise
IT has also been demonstrated IN in

have voluntarily chosen military train

positive statement that the obJectlon'

those who believe that this form OF

in the minds of the individuals, Is
wholly a mistake This opinion is YER
flied by the best civilian authorities
