FILIPINO PROTESTS
Manuel Queson Resents Report of Educational Conditions Made By Columbia Faculty Member.

Manila, Aug. 1T Ps-The report of the educational commission head ed by Dr. Paul M Dnroe of Colum- bia university which made a survey of Philippine schools last year was attacked by Manuel Quezon, presi- dent of the insular senate, in speech before that body today on the ground that the report contained unjustifiable assertions and insinu- ations designed to discredit the Philippine legislature and Filipino students.
 [ The speech resulted when the re- port was made to the legislature by joint legislative committee on edu- cational statistics in the islands.
 The statement in the Monroe re- port to which Quezon takes excep- ton reads:
 "The Philippine social inheritance came from generations in which in- Idustrial activities had little part in which social relationships were cor Irespondently dominant. In such an environment appreciation of the so- cial value of industry, application ltruthfulness and honesty does not develop. The social graces, good manners and religious conformity take their places in social esteem.

MEXICAN PRESS
 HITS SHEFFIELD
Charges U. 5. Ambassador With
 Meddling in Politics

Mexico City, Aug. r P,-Attach- !. of the American embassy would make no comment today on an edi- .orial appearing in Excelsior, leading Mexican newspaper, stating m effect that Ambassador Sheffield's trip to the United States at the pres snt time constitutes menace to Mexico. They are known to feel however, that the allegations are unjustitied.
 The editorial says that Ambassa- dor Sheffield partially revealed his intentions before leaving for the United States. Although the ann bassador did not talk of the MeN- can religious controversy, the editor ial says that he revealed in part his intentions by saying he was gong home to discuss with the white house the petroleum, land and other laws affecting American interests at a time when the petroleum ana Iaha questions have been quieted. Mexi- co Is facing religious problem the paper continues, and some interests in the United States are seeking a cause for the latter to intervene.
 The embassy attaches point out that the ambassador did not issue any statement whatever for puol- cation concerning his trip other than 10 say that he was going nome on a vacation, which was annouhe- ed long before the religious question arose. ..
 Excelsior editorially says that Mexican Catholics neither seek, nor would accept, United states inter- vention in the religious controversy and that any attempt of the Amerl- can ambassador to that end, or any sort of attempt of interference oS inc United States, would hlnder rather than help a solution.
 r-nfortunately United States dlp- Ionoats almost always have regard ed Mexico as weak country a zone of influence, and subject to in- euences by the strength or the nower of the United States the editorial continues. History forces +be conclusion that every American ambassador to Mexico has mixed III Mexican politics and almost always lending his aid to bad causes.

War Yet. Who Drank Toast to "Cn-
 known Soldier" Given Lecture,

Paris, Aug. IT LP - Donald G. Crocker who was arrested here af- ter he had drank a toast to the un- known soldier and broke the glass on the tomb today was set at liberty by the Parisian police without a fine. They were influenced to do this because the man had been an American service man and had lost a leg in the war. The commissary of police, however, gave him a seri- ous lecture on the evil of imbibing too freely and told him that while the delightful pastime of drinking champagne is all right in it's place the tomb of the unknown soldier is not a proper place for such pas time.

and a much needed figure in our own
day. And if it was to be the basis of
all other things then it must be known
and understood. Joshua was to go to
school, to null it over in his mind and
gather it's full meaning. There has
never been Know-It-All who
has been a real leader. And he who
discards the bible and its study and
understanding in these days of per-
picking relationships becomes uunflt
even to be a follower of the great
movements in a world ruled by moral
laws and founded upon its Makers
rules. You may sit in the smoker, day
coach or Pullman, but you can't ride
on the train unless you stick to the
rails. The whole advance of God is
based upon laws that refuse to spread
or be switched, and the train will
reach its destination after while, but
some fellows who are fooling with the
swith may get run over in the process.
THE PROGRAM.
There was no long hesitancy on the
part of Joshua and his selection is
fully justified by the actions of the
days that followed his memorable in
terview with God. If that does not
tune up man he is hopeless. Foch
spent one known hour kneeling in a
battered cathdral-how many that are
not known may only be surmised-and
then the whole line from Egypt to
England advanced. "Pack up; in
three days we cross the Jordan"
swept the great company facing the
future uncertainty but obediently. The
tribes that had been settled into the
conquered territory east of the river
were called upon for their levies of
fighting men and they marched swift
ly into line. If Joshua had anything
to do he would get at it and Israel
had no other recourse than to follow.
If it would keep pace with him it too
must march. And such men are al
ways leaders in any age.
