Recent disturbances in the Philip
pine Islands with loss of life. are
raising doubts in American minds as
to the ability of the islanders TO
achieve harmony and establish an in
dependent government.
"A wholly unexpected revolt by ex-
tremists." says the Los Angeles Times.
indicates that the new set-up, which
was expected to have plain sailing
after the May IA plebiscite, may have
serious difficulties after all The SAX
dalistas-who demand immediate in
dependence and somebody else for
seized several towns uncomfortably
close to Manila, and in the fighting
with conStabulary which followed
some fifty or more Filipinos met
death. The revolt has some commu-
nistic inspiration. according to reports.
but government investigators are said
to declare there is no truth in rumors
that the Sakdalistas are assisted from
Japan"
The outbreaks would not seem to
be very formidable, thinks the At
lanta (Ga) Journal, particularly in
view of the fact that the numerous
tribes speak no fewer than 43 Ian
guages and dialects and, as an Amer
ican observer recently remarked, rep
resent stages of culture from head
hunter to college man The wonder
is that the history of the islands un-
der the United States flag has been, in
the main. so tranquil. Prior to the
early 1900S there had been a long sue
cession of revolts. The recent dis
turbances are generally supposed to
have been in protest against that part
of the congressional act of 1884. which
provides for an interim of 10 years
before Philippine independence shall
become complete. Nothing short OF
immediate and unconditional SOW
ereignty will satisfy some Of the fac
tions. The majority, however. and GER
tainly the more business minded ele-
ments, appear to be for the gradual
and prudent course. An immediate
cutting loose from American tariff
concessions and other aids would
prove, economically at least, disas-
trous."
1T is evident that when the Stars
and Stripes are hauled down, the sit
uation will invite the attention Of
aspiring foreign governments" in the
opinion of the Providence Journal,
which foresees foreign. intervention
in case of a serious uprising" The
Dayton (Ohio) Herald feels that "it
remains to be determined whether
any native force can control" while
the jackson CMich.) Citizen Patriot
suggests: "If it should appear that self
determination will bring revolution
and chaos, the United States Govern
ment should not hesitate to halt that
process. This Government has re-
sponsibility higher than that of turn
ing loose its greatest insular posses
sion for sentimental reasons"
THE news must be disquieting to
those who have predicted a happy
and prosperous future for the stands"
AYERS the Boise Idaho Statesman, but
the New Orleans Times-Picayune takes
the more moderate position, with the
statement: THE prospect need not
and probably will not frighten the
advocates Of Philippine independence,
but it warns them to Guild their struc-
ture of self-government on foundations
broad enough to win the approval and
steady support Of . decisive majority

Mrs. Wulcat dropped In to see Tenn

How are you2' she asked, brightly.
She always was so bright.

quite so gay. "How are your"
"Oh, great" she beamed. when

Jones had q manuscript in his desk,
OF course.
Every one has novel or two hid

Ofiice boys speculate on novels.
Everybody writes now or intends to

Still, Templeton Jones wondered,
and answered. none too enthusi-
aStically, "Oh. I'm not going to write
any book"
Why, OF course you are going to

Mr.. Jones judicously regarded an

I scarce can believe that" went on
Mrs. Wulcat. brighter than ever. Il

Then why not now?" The lady
smiled significantly, then added a few
words to the effect that there is no

Jones smiled wryly.

Thank you. But I don't want TO

Mrs. Wulcat indicated that no book

Despite the fact that he had lost

The Guard at the Tomb.

George Ford was born on the
plantation of Mount Vernon, the
estate of George Washington. When
the Mount Vernon Ladies Association
was organized and was given the GUS
tody of the historic mansion and
grounds he remained and for many
years served as guide to visitors to
that American shrine. escorting
people through the house where
Washington lived during his latter
years and where he passed away.
About fifteen years ago he was as
signed to duty as guard at the tomb
of the President and there he re-
manned, a solitary sentinel, watch
full and faithful. Recently illness
compelled the first lapse in his duty
and on Wednesday he died.
Many millions Of people have
passed through the home and before
the tomb of Washington under the
eyes Of Uncle George" as he was
affectionately known. Kings and
queens and other potentateS of high
rank from many lands, dignitaries of
all degrees Of eminence and great
throngs of others without titles and
without especial distinction have seen
him in his solitary vigil. He was
always courteous, informative and re-
spectful He had become a figure in
the national scene. He had noted the
placing of countless wreaths at the
tomb and had seen the smaller but
sincere floral tributes of visitors laid
at the threshold of the sepulchre.
Not a remarkable career in terms of
achievement, but what record Of
fidelity to a trust!

THE SECOND PRINCE. BY Thomas
Bell New York: G. P. Putnam's
Sons.
Under the title of Striker Godown," ="
this novel has had wide popularity
in England and it possesses several
outstanding qualities which will give
its author a definite place in American
modern novelcraft. 1t concerns
likable Young MidweSterner named
Striker Godown, who leaves his home
of comfort and security to search for
adventure and beauty. He goes to
New York. where he finds little o.
beauty and where adventure does not
overtake him until his money is gone
and hunger drives him to work as a
day laborer at all kinds of menial
tasks until In desperation he ships
on a freighter where food of sort
and shelter is fairly certain.
Unfortunately he is not equipped to
meet adventure and the necessity to
live saps his immature mind of the
ability to recognize in the variety Of
experiences which he encounters any
thing but hardship. His concept Of
beauty is as vague as his understand
ing of adventure. and even after sew
eral years of sailing the seas and be-
coming acquainted with the world he
is sure that he has failed in his quest.
He returns to the old homestead
and tries to pick up the threads
broken with needless indifference at
his unheralded departure. only to find
that he is a miSfit in the community,
that his friends of former days no
longer interest him, and that the girl
he once hoped to marry has ceased
to attract him. In all of his heart
breaking years of hardship and fail
ure there has been only one source
Of happiness girl in New York.
Through her he has learned that
there is beauty in companionship and
comradeship. but it is only when he
is miles away from New York that he
appreciates her courage and her
wisdom.
Striker Godown is typical of the
youth of today, and his story is a
REALISTIC portrayal of modern America
in search of footing in the chaos of
a world that has no place for man
or woman without money and that
for several years has held no oppor-
tunity for those who have the ca
pacity to earn it. But there is ssme-
thing still deeper than the condition
Of the world that lies behind the
feverish restlessness of the present
generation, and with refreshing and
forceful candor Mr.. Bell reveals the
rottenness of the political apd indus
trial shams that exploit the helpless
and destroy the souls of some men
and make parasites of others.
Through romance is the salvation
of Striker Godown accomplished. Un-
fortunately his experience in the dis
covery Of the one woman suited to his
needs is not the fate of many young
adventures in quest of the meaning
and the beauty of life. But If 1t were
not for the expectation of romance
there would be no hope, and without
hope there would be nothing.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Tobacco.

Tobacco.
Since ladies took to cigarettes
We have experienced some regrets
Which soon we're serious indeed
Concerning this tobacco weed.
The Indian smoked his pipe of peace
To show that quarreling must cease.
White paper weaves a subtle spell.
Tobacco does not work so we'll.
The pipe vapor strong turned loose.
The cigarette for ladies use,
Though weak in flavor. seems to bring
More gossip and more pickering.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton.
Free Things

The dragonf1y skins lightly DER the
streamlets,
And the cardinal gives its mate-call
from the glens.
And the eagle scars on high,
And the wild deer dashes by,
Where the free things have their lairs
and forest dens.
Oh, the rover's feet would ever follow
after
To the forest and the hilltops and the
sea.
But the wild heart and its quest
Only racks the human breast.
1t belongs alone 10 things that Goa
keeps free. =

II Duce SAYS Hands Off"


Now it is not only Emperor Halle
Selassie of Abyssinia that Mussolini
defies, but all of that portion OF Eu-
rope which would interfere with plans
to put the Ethiopian King Of Kings
IN his proper place, which, from the
Fascist standpoint, is one of complete
subsection 10 Italian domination. For
the past few days there have been
intimations that Great Britain and
France are bringing pressure to bear
both at Rome and Adds Ababa to
prevent the outbreak Ct war
The tremendous preparations under
way in Italy convinced the British
and French governments that Musso-
lini. while making ready to strike
irresistibly in Africa, IS weakening his
strength to an extent that would make
it impossible for Italy to play a
major military role N the event Of
grave developments in Europe. What
the Western powers have mainly in
mind is a German move against Aus
tria.
Addressing the Roman Senate last
night, Mussolini uttered stern
hands warning to Great Britain
and France as far as his quarrel with
Abyssinia is concerned. He declared
that no one except Italy can be the
Judge in this most delicate matter" and
that she will be governed, in dealing
with it. exclusively by her own inter-
ests. Intervention from any quarter,
and on any ground, II Duce thun-
dered, will not be tolerated. The
measures taken in Africa are purely
Of precautionary" nature and will
be continued without stint until Italy
feels that her position is impregna-
BILE. The premier did not conceal that
his military activities are being in
tensively prosecuted. He disclosed
candidly that the nations "war in
dustries" for some time have been
working or full schedules.
The net result, Mussolini explained.
Is to make quite unnecessary the fear
that Italy might not be able to give
an adequate account of herself in de
plorable sudden eventualities." 1t is
precisely because Italy wishes to be
TRANQUILITY secure" in Europe, he
argued, that she intends to be well
guarded" in Africa. He assured the
Senate that three classes Of troops
those of 1911, 1918 and 1914-would
be kept under arms and that the
1912 class is being held in reserve.
The 100000 or 10000 men these vari-
Gus classes represent, Mussolini as
serted, suffice to guarantee Italian Sc
curity. Perfectly organized" and
faultlessly equipped, they constitute a
force equal to any emergency and will
enable Italy to continue her policy of
collaboration with all European powers
devoted to preservation of peace.
There is no evidence that the Brit
ish and French have actually moved
automatically to prevent an Italo-
Ethiopian conflict. They are now on
notice that any such action would not
only be highly distasteful to Musso-
tni, but would be definitely ignored.
AS it is altogether improbable that
either of the Western powers would
seek to thwart Italy's purposes by
forcible means, the prospect grows
stronger that Mussolini will now pro-
coed to use his mighty war machine
to expand his colonial empire at
Abyssinia's expense His warning to
London and Paris is, of course, also
directed to Geneva, for any inter-
vention by the League of Nations
would be as unwelcome in Rome as
from any other region.
