Army Air Service pilots with the
3rd Aero Squadron, recently stationed
at Jolo, Sulu Archipelago, Philippine
Islands, have been bringing back in
teresting tales of how the natives act
and what they thing of the aerial ac-
tlvlties in that province. Some Mo-
roS believe the airplane an emissary
from Allah; others that the superhu-
man occupants are all-seeing and all
powerful, while still others believe
that the plane is a dragon flown out
OF the South Seas come to wreak dire
vengeance on all bad Moros, according
to an old Arabic legend. When flying
low over the wilds of Mindanao, the
loud roar Of the motor of the planes
sends fear into the hearts of the thous-
andS CT Moros who inhabit this part
OF the Philippines, many of whom
nave never seen a white man.
While on a reconnaissance flight
| near Maimbun in South Jolo, Captain
John l. Moore, pilot or the plane, was
at loss to account for the actions OF
a native who was riding along the
highway, holding aloft in outstretcied
arms small white sheet, as if in sup
pllcation. Upon inquiry at the post
! Captain Moore was informed that GER
tam natives are permitted to carry
knives by written permit. Those who
are apprehended carrying knives with
out permits are severely punished. The
native mentiox1d was evidently car
rying barong or knife and was hold
ing his permit aloft for Captain Moore
to read from his plane, in fear that
one OF the fearsome bombs he had
heard so much of might be dropped
down upon him and confiscate his
weapon.
