The result of the investigation
will be testimony which will warrant
President Harding recommending
to Congress 20 hold on to the Philip
pines for some time to come.
Summed up, such is the feeling
here.
General Wood is not responsible
for this impression. Neither Is ex-
Governor Forbes. The general is too
good a soldier, and the former gov
ernor-general Of the Philippines too
experienced a diplomat, to spill the

In autos and on horse. afoot and

are working like beavers digging up
the facts upon which they will base
their report And they are saying
little OF what they think.
But observers who have talked
with American old-timers here, and
with the Filipinos, and who have
had ample opportunity TO see and
hear much of what the Commission
is seeing and hearing. invariably are
led to the above conclusion.
Bound Up With Asia
Foremost among the factors which
must influence the commission, many
here consider, is the general inter-
national situation in the Far East.
The Philippines, they insist, can
not be treated as a separate prob
lem. In their opinion, the future Of
the islands is inextricably bound up
with the future of Asia and the
Orient generally.
All Americans in the Islands are
not retentionists. but 1 have yet to
talk with any really representative
member Of the community who does
not think that to turn the Philip
pines loose at this juncture. without
first obtaining a showdown from the
Great Powers with regard to the Far
Eastern situation, would be a ma
tional disgrace.
Furthermore, the most ardent Pat
rick Henrys among the Filipinos
themselves confess they see no OBJ
lection to waiting for their inde-
pendence until the present storm

EN recognition OF the remarkably effective work she did
n chairman OF the Delaware Branch OF the American
Fund for French Wounded, the French Government has
conferred decoration upon Mrs Bessie G. dupont OF
this city
The honor is well deserved and highly pleasing to the
people Of Delaware. During the dark days Of the war
and long before the United States became party TO the
conflict Mrs. dupont became prominent in relief work.
Her intense sympathy for the cause Of the Allies
was featured by practcality which made it wonder
fully effective. What She did actuated solely by
humane and patriotic impulse and without thought Of
recognition reward Perhaps one was surprised as
greatly as Mrs dupont when NE cables flashed the
news to this country that the French Government re-

The pilgrimage to France will
start from New York August 3rd.
Every State will be represented, the
State quotas being determined by
size OF membership. Any member
OF the American Legion may go on
the trip providing his application
for reservations is received before
the quota is filled. The expense,
about $500, will be borne by the in
dividual member. As the party is
limited to 25O. the State quotas are
necessarily small and applicants
have been urged TO act promptly in
requesting reservations. Applications
are received by the State Legion de-
partments.

school taxes should be imposed only
upon property subject to county levy
and not upon certain classes of prop

question was raised by reason of the
fact that some county school superin-

that all classes of property assessed
for state purposes are subject to coun-
ty school taxes.
