ENGLISH CONSIDER
GENERAL WOOD
GREAT STATESMAN
{By Associated Press)

London, Sept. 1.-The London
Times has printed dispatch
from it's Manila correspondent
reviewing the achievements Of
General Lenorad Wood as chair
man Of the special mission which
President Harding sent to the
PHILIPPINES. "Only the courage,
patience, experience, ability,
forcefu1 persuasivcness and I'M
tarnished prestige Of an admins
traitor like the great American
sodier-statesman," the dispatch
says, "can unravel the Phillip
pine tangle and guide the Fill
pino people along the paths of
true progress to prosperity and
political security
"Within a very short time af-
ter General Woods arrival i'll
tie islands,'' the correspondent
continues, 1.-THE Influence Of his
forceful, magnetic and singularly
human personality began to be
felt with tonic effect. All Amer
leans and foreigners and many
Filipinos had become seriously
alarmed and discouraged by the
economic collapse which threat
ened the islands. The outstand
ing achievements of General
Woods administration have been
the rehabilitation Of the curren-
cy system and the downward
revision of the budget, whereby
nearly 20,O00,O00 pesos normaI-
~ $1O,OOO,0O0) was saved to the
Treasury, and the dispersal of a
strongly entrenched political
clisarchy.
| "Wood cleansed the judiciary
and expedited the work Of the
/! courts - the writer says, land
established efficiency in the civ
! il service. He made searching
investigation into the conduct of
the San Lazaro Asylum and the
/ Culion Leper Colony, resulting n
/ comprehensive measures for the
; eventual eradication OF leprosy
from the islands. Through his
initiative liberal and sympathetic
support has been given to the
advancement Of science, particu-
larlv in those branches bearln9!
on sanitation and hygiene, and
+! upon agriculture. y
The correspondent then says
that the establishment OF the
Manila Port Area Commission by
General Wood has given an I'M
petss to harbor improvements
and has facilitated the docking
Of oceangoing steamers and th<
loading and unloading Of cargoes
! Measures have been put threag!
for extending and coordinatinz

and water, with view to afford
inc better service with cheape'

''Red Clergy
To Establish
"Live Church"
(Bv Associated Press)


Moscow, Sept. 5.-The cred
clergy led by group of
Young men. held its first con
gress here early in August and
discussed plans to establish Il
new live church. = It was cor
tended that the church must bel
brought nearer to the masses,
and that the ssnew church u
should be as simple and AS

: s ms Of the red clergy, :,

include liquidation Of the super

ton Of higher clergy who, it is
claimed, are still hoping for a
coup d etat to sweep them into
power again, and preparation OF
an all Russian conclave at which
a SUCCESSOR to Patriarch TlchOp
is to be elected.
The red clergy group, head
ed. by Archbishop Antonin and
a number Of young Moscow and
Petrograd clergyman, came into
existence as a result of a split
among the Russian Orthodox
clergy, brought about soon after
eonfiscation Of church treasures
was started by Soviet government
officials.
Because Of the opposition whi"h
developed among the ruling
church authorities, number OF
the clergy were prosecuted N
various parts Of Russia, even Pa
trlarch Tichon himself having
been placed on trial. Many sen
tences Of death were impose l,
some Of which were carried into

WOMEN IN EGYPT HAVE
FIGHT FOR FRANCHISE
{By Associated Press)

Cairo. Egypt, Aug. 31.-Thc
members of the first Egyptian
parliament. under the new con- !
stitution, are to be elected in
October. and already political ,,
interest, not to say excitement,
IS running high.
All men over 25 years of agel
are entitled to vote. Women. ne-~j
are in no sense idle.
They are making good fight
for the franchise, even though;
tire odds are greatly. a tgais1stt
them, for Egyptian men look up
on their women kind as posses
s1ons rather than o-workers in|
life.
The president Of the Mothers
Of the Future Of Egypt is Mad
anne Aneeseh Hanum ell Rasheedy.
Speaking on the emancipation of
her sex recently she said: "The
women Of Egypt should be allow
ed to vote because they are fit
for it. We shall soon win Oh:
fight because the Koran and the
world are on our side. The 10
ran says: THE women ought
to behave towards their husbands
in like manner as their husbands
should behave towards them,
according to what is lust
1t is absurd to allow a cit
zen to exercise the franchise
merely because he is of the male
sex, while highly educated Egyr
tian women, from Princesses
downwards, are to have no Wy
III legislation on questions that
affect them equally with the rest
OF the population. The civilized
nations already have adapted the
principle Of woman suffra ge.
Egypt cannot afford to drag be
hind and still maitnain her pres
tige in the eyes Of those nations. =
The men, at the present time,
are inclined to dismiss the aspir-
ations of the women with the
generality that the average woa-
an in Egypt today does not pos
sess the qualifications necessary"
to intelligent voting.
Political parties which have
been dormant during the British
occupation are awakening, and
with them is coming the revival
! Of old animosities. The follow
sRs Of Zaghloul Pasha, the deport-
| cd Nationalist leader, are part
cularly bitter against the pre<en'
government.
The city vote will count largt
in the coming contest. To th'
poor peasants, or fellaheen, tbs
new parliament means little OF
nothing. To them all rulers ane
officials are pests, to be endured
as we'll as may be. They ar
ignorant, and are interested II
nothing outside Of their Villages
Hence they offer opportunities t:
1nscrupulous politicians. "To

quantities of poles to the Atlantic sea-
board. There is considerable cedar in
Montana and the supply is as yet prac-
