work, and children are taught at a
very early age. Every morning the
native peddlers stop at the hotels
endeavoring to dispose of their
wares consisting of embroidered
dresses, napkins, table cloths and
laces, the usual morning sport OF the
American women is bargaining with
the peddler.
The faYOrite afternoon sports are
tennis, golf, polo, base ball and
swimming, as school closes at noon.
/ have spent considerable time in
trying to perfect my game Of golf.
The evening amusements are NOV
les, dancing, bridge, and boxing. The
latter is particularly interesting as
several of the best lightweight box
ers in the States, have had their pre-
liminary training here. Just prior to
leaving Manila l saw Johnny Hill,
the lightweight champion of the Ori-
ent. win his last fight before leaving
for the States, where he hopes to
add new laurels to his crown.
Mother and l spent the Christmas
holidays with some navy friends in
OlOngapo on Selby Bay. There IS a
naval station located here, also TIE
large floating drydOck Dewey, all the
navy ships on the Asiatic Station,
come here for their annual docking
and overhaul.
Olongapo, Zambalist, is noted for
its large pythOons, native iggOrotes,
one of the smallest human races
and heavy rainfalls during the wet
season. Often pythOons, fifteen TO
thirty feet in length are caught by
the natives, who carefully remove
the skins offering them for sale;
during our visit a skin, seventeen
feet long, was brought to the house,
part of it had been removed on ac-
count of it being spoiled when the
snake was shot. The iggorotes live IN
small villages, fifteen OF twenty
miles from the town. They are a
very primitive race, small in stat
ure and procuring their means of
livelihood by hunting and fishing
much game such as wild hogs, deer
wild chickens and tapers abound in
the adjacent jungles. Occasionally
you will see native in the town Of
fering for sale native articles such
as bows and arrows, carved wooden
images ct cetera.
About the middle of February the
Jason was ordered north to visit
China ports, so mother and 1 lashed
up our bag and hammock and pro-
ceeded to hit the high seas again IN
company with four other navy OIL
GERS wives. We left Manila on the
Canadian Pacific steamer Empress OF
Asia, for Hong Kong. Upon arriving
there we spent some time in shop
ping and visiting various places OF
| interest until the arrival of the ia
son.
Hong Kong harbOr is very beauti-
| full being bounded on one side by the
city of Hong Kong and KowloOn on
the other, nearly all large ships are
docked in the latter. These cities are
practically the same as a western
city, the buildings being of modern
structure and design.
One of the most interesting Trips
is going to Victoria Peak, on the
top of a high mountain, which over
looks the harbor. This is reached by
going in a tram car for two-thirds
of the distance, then by sedan chair
up to the Peak. From here you OBJ
tain a wonderful view of both cities
and the surrounding country.
While here we met a Chinese

acquaintance in Manila, who pro

teries of a typical Chinese dinner al

largest being the Army and Navy.
All Navy Otucers JOIN this club be-
cause they have access 10 a large Ii
brary and tennis courts; they also
have a chance to renew old friend
ships as all the officers of the feet
gather there either during the day
or night. Tea dances are given twice
month to which all members are
invited. The big night is the Gay
when the Army and Navy football
game is played in the States, as
there are thirteen hours difference in
time between New York and Manila
it is night time out here when the
game is being played. We left the
hotel two o'clock Sunday mo- ming to
go to the club whore the returns of
the game were being received by ra-
diO. Everyone had wonderful time
especially all the Navy people be-
cause we thought the Navy had won
but at eight o'clock word came that
the Army was victorious. You can
enjoy dancing over 1T the club every
night as music is furnished by one
of the best Orchestras in Manila.
Another large club is the Spanish
Club which is one of the prettiest
and most exclusive, at which place
l had the pleasure of attending their
New Years Balls; others are the
English, French, Swiss, German, Fill
ipino, University and Elks, One or
the most unique IS the Cosmos, a
Chinese club.
The Manila, Luneta, St. Anthony,
Windsor and the Manhattan are the
principal hotels. At the Manila there
is an American orchestra which fur
nishes music for dancing every eve
ming.
The Santa Ana Cabaret, which is
about one and one half miles from
the city, has the largest dance floor
in the world. Levma, another caba-
ret, is not quite as large.
Manila is very quiet during the
summer months. but in September,
when the U. S. fleet comes Gown
from China, everything begins to
| boom.
The natives are very interesting,
their homes are built of nippa with
a foundation of bamboo. These are
known as nippa shacks. although
many of the wealthicr class have
homes built of frame and concrete,
with all modern improvements.
The method of transportation is by
street car, automobile, and carameto,
small two-wheel vehicle drawn by
small horse about the size of a
! Shetland pony. If the cart is drawn
| by a larger horse it Is known as a
calessa and is paid accordingly. Au-
tOmobiles are very cheap, as a small
car such as an Essex or Dodge may
be obtained for two pesos an hour,
which is equa to one dollar in L. S.
currency. This also includes the SER
vices of a chauffeur. Speed is no OBJ
| iect. in fact all speed regulations, If
there were any, would be broken at
all times by foreigners and the ma
tiyes, but in view of this fact the
number of accidents is very small.
There are many large and modern
stores where American and Euro
pean, as well as native products,
may be procured, also silks and sat
ins from China, Japan and India.
The main agricultural industries
of the islands are the growing of
sugar cane, hemp, tobacco and rice.
In the city are numerous factories
for the manufacturing Of shirts, ci-
gars, shoes, and cocoanut oil and
many natives are employed in the
weaving of hats and making many
varieties of embroideries on voile,
silks and other materials. These
people are experts in this line of

+ MIR. Libby did no more than re-
peat what he has said all over the
country, indorsing the Senate ac-
ton in voting to adhere to the World
Court, with five reservations, and
advocating our joining the League of
Nations with such reservations as
would relieve us Of every legal and
moral obligation to so to war
IF this were a sporadic attack on
the fundamental right Of Americans,
we could pass over it. but it is
symptomattc Of attacks all over the
country. We have had Legislatures
for bidding teaching of scientific
truth and similar laws are being
threatened.
What the Americans people need
now is a re-baptism in the faith Of
the fathers; faith in free speech;
faith in the power of truth; faith in
the people. Then, they need large
doses Of intelligence; intelligent
reading of the lessons of history.
With that intelligence, they will real
ize the utter folly of attempting to
suppress wrong ideas by force.
Facts Survive Force
History speaks with a single
voice. Never in all history has any
idea, right or wrong, been suppressed
by force.
THE only way you could start a
revolution in the United States would
be to deny the right of free speech;
deny the right of reform through
legislation; the persecution of those
who, suggest we might improve our
Government
There is only one thing in the
world that will overcome wrong
ideas; that is right ideas. And we
cannot know which is right or wrong
until each enters the arena and
fights it out in free and unlimited
discussion.
THE only effect of suppression
through force is to drive the spirit
Of revolt under ground, where, like
the seeds of weeds, it takes root and
comes to harvest.
The first condition for dealing
with social discomfort must be to
keep the agitation in the open where
it can be seen and discussed by all
why should We fear the Ameri-
can people, why should we distrust
their judgment when they are
brought face to face with ideas?
Faith in the people is the only foun-
dation of our republic. Take that
away and our whole political system
is gone.

PEKIN Will CLEAR
MINES FROM PEIHO
RIVER, ANNOUNCED
Crisis is Past AS China
Agrees Communication
Must Be Kept Clear.
BY RANDALL GOULD
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

PEKIN, Mar. 1S.-China has
agreed to comply with the foreign
powers utimatum demanding op-
ening of the Peiho river to navi-
CATION. the American legation an
nounced today.
Nationalist commanders of the
Taku forts agreed to the terms and
the foreign office sent note to
the powers acquiescing to the prin-
ciple that free communication be-
tween Pekin and the sea must be
maintained. The crisis. it was an
nounced at the legation is past and
therefore it is not likely that there
will be Il display of foreign naval
force.
Hundreds of students paraded in
Pekin today bearing banners which
protested 50 foreign Imperialism -
The demonstration expressed the stu
dents satisfaction with the Wig
orous foreign moves to open the riv-
er and prevent the Taku forts from
firing on foreign shipping.
In its note to the powers, the
foreign office complained that the
ultimatum went beyond the scope
of the, Boxer protocol, which guar
antees free access to the sea from
Pekin. 1t was essential, however,
the Chinese note said, that there
be no recourse to extreme methods.
