Number of Americans in ]
Employment Philippine ,
Government Decreasing i
i
Manila, Nov. 25.?(Correspondence
of the Associated Press.)?More tian
half the Americans formerly in the <
employ of the Philippine government
have been retired since July 1913.
' There are now a few more than 1200
Americans in the service whereas, just
before the arrival of the new l)em
ocratic aaminisiruuun, mtic wcic
more than 2600.
Meanwhile there has been a steady
increase naturally in Filipino employes
of the government, the list showing
1000.
The law which permits Americans
of long service with the government
to retire with a three-year pension
ranging from 66 per cent of a year's
salary to the full amount, is largely
responsible for the number af American
retirements which have increased
very largely since the law was
passed. The past year has seen 400
retirements and the previous year saw
almost as many more.
The policy of the Harrison administration
in training Filipinos as rapidly
a# possible for responsible posts in
tha government service has- made the
successors of these retired Americans
almost entirely Filipinos. The fact,
together with the increasing activities
of the government, due to increased
prosperity in the islands, is responsible
for the big increase of Filipinos in
the government service.

DOING WORK ON TIME. (
Webster's definition of the word efficient
is producing results. I have ]
inown my father to have his binder
Dr hay rake repaired in mid winter,
possibly six months before he would
have any use for it. I thought this
odd when a boy. I have since found
it was one of his many forms of
farm efficiency. When harvest time
came my father produced results. He
was just as careful about his harness,
plows, harrows, wagons,, drills, etc.,
Thpv wprn watched and either repair
ed before breaking or immediately afterwards.
Horses and stock, too, were of pood
breeding, carefully fed, watered and
attended to, so that when occasion demanded
it they could produce results.
Competent labor was employed at a
good price, treated as human beings,
given a good bed and victuals, and
kindly urged to produce results, which
they did nine times out of ten.
Manure, lime, clover and cowpeas
produced results and gave my father
soil efficiency. Neighbors sometimes
Laughed at him for plowing down
large fields of rank clover; they said
it should be made into hay.
When he called upon his soil for a
crop, provided the season was favorable,
it was efficient. In short, my
father was an efficient farmer. He
took time by the forelock and did
things before he was driven to do
them. My father is now too old to
farm, and we boys are each trying to
be "a chip from the old block," for
he built up a farm of 240 acres from
soil poverty to one of wonderful productiveness
by efficiency.?C. C. Conger,

Chinese Republic Must
Have New Constitution
Polrin/? Mau 90 /PAfrPcnnnHpnpP
x vnui6r *w?. -v. ?
of the Associated Press.)?The Chir
nese republic must have a new cont
stitution, a new election law and parliament
must be reorganized, in ihc
, opinion of President Fong Kuo-Chung,
, and Premier Tuan Chi-jui.
I An effort to achieve these object:
is in progress in the sessions of tK
, new National Council, called by th<
premier and president for that pin
pose.
Most of China's governmental dif
i ficulties during the last six years wer.
attributed by Premier Tuan in hi
address to the National Council t
, imperfections in the constitution. I
3 is the desire of the president an
the premier that a new constitvtio
. shall be adopte (land that it shall cor,
tain provisions for satisfactory cc
e ordination of the executive, leg'sln
tive and judicial branches of the go\
ernment. Poth officials pointed o'j
in addresses to the Council that it wa
absence of such provisions in th
present constitution that led to th
I- outbreak of numerous disorders an
I- revolts which have transpired in th
s, country since the beginning of th
10 attempt to organize a republic fori
>n of government.
n- The President and the Premier a]
in parently have divergent views as 1
n- whether the new constitution shou
lfi Kn Tsrftmuliraihv the Nation Coun,
'? or by a new parliament to be sji
he moned after the work of tn.? C >un<
uh is finished. President Feng told tl
Council that he sincerely hoped th
>1- after it had revised the Chinese ele
d- tion laws, parliament would be call
nil to draft and promulgate Ine const it
is, tion; but Premier Tuan urged t
85 Council itself to amend the funduiret
ho al law of the Chinese state
a "Unless we have a strong and sou
it- government, we never wid be able
In survive the struggle of the nation:
1.- declared the President. '"To form
id. nation and to establish it on a fii
ia- basis is a colossal task. Six years
m- too short a time to prove whether g<
the ernment by the people is suitable ;
rth China. Therefore, I enttercain gr<
of expectations for the success of y<
taak."

WHERE RED CROSS MONEY GOES
(From the Philadelphia Telegraph)
There are 3,000,000 members of the
American Red Cross. They each
gave a dollar for membership.
In addition to that the people of
the United States pave a cool $100,000,000.
What has become of that money?
H. P. Davison, head of the Red Cross
work, says that only $1,500,000 of
that great sum poes to payinp for the
expense of administerinp the Red
Cross work.
The other $101,500,000 "poes to the
spot."
Nifty work, I should say, and few
corporations in the world have so
preat a net surplus to distribute in a
year.
Well, what does the Red Cross do
with its money?
It has giveh $1,000,000 for sick afld
wounded French soldiers.
Established twenty dispensaries in
the American army zone.
Distributed supplies to 3,423
French military hospitals.
Gives surgical supplies to 2,000
French hospitals.
Operates ten army canteens at the
front.
Accommodates 30,000 French soldiers
daily at six other railway canteens.
Creating an artificial arm and leg
. factory.
Building a movable hospital with
, 1,000 beds.
Established camps for thousands
of French refugee children.
; Caring for 500 French children
. daily, v/ho are sent back to France
> by the Gefrman army.
Built a hospital for such reparties.
who are coming in f,000 a day.
_ Arranging for another 1,000 hos!

The blue once marched against the

And there is no gray?
Under one flag they are bound.

They've all gone togethe*- acrosa th<
