FILIPINO PLEA IS LINKED WITH NAVAL PARLEY Drive for Independence Will Be Timed to Coincide With Conference. This i th* fourteenth of a series of mrticle* on the cumin* five-power naval parley In London, written bv an expert •n international affairs. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Hcrlpps-Howard Foreign Editor The most determined drive for independence yet launched by the Filipinos is being timed to coincide with the London naval conference *nd the preparations therefor. Manuel Quezon, president of the Philippines senate; Speaker Roxas of the lower house, and a representative group of Filipino leaders, are due to sail for Washington, Dec. 7. Therefore they will be ready for action when congress resumes its sessions after the Christmas holidays. Primarily, the new fight for independence comes as a sequel to the recent senate vote on the tariff bill amendment of Senator King of Utah, having to do with freedom for the Philippines. It was defeated by only a narrow margin, and some who voted against it explained that they did so only because they objected to an issue of such importance being decided in that way.

Another Chance Given But file naval limitation conference will give the Filipinos still another lever to work with. It is a matter of common knewledge that the islands are even now at the mercy of at least one far eastern power, and naturally any further weakening of the United States navy would tend to make their capture all the more easy. Insecurity of the Philippines already was a matter of moment in this country when the first fivepower naval conference met in Washington in 1921. But whatever plans the United States may have had at that time for strengthening them went glimmering with the signing of the Washington treaty, since It is pledged us not to carry the work of fortifying the Philippines, Guam and Samoa any further. This left a pretty one-sided situation in the western Pacific. Japan, of course, is situated in that region and quite naturally is well provided with all the naval bases she Reeds. If not, she can build more. \And though Great Britain is %ind by the same treaty not to %ify Hongkong any further, Sinin easy striking distance of TPhilippines. is exempt and is feiPbeing made into a second raitar.

Defended by twelve-inch guns, the battleships of both Britain and Japan can outshoot it any day in the year, and its lone drydock, the ancient Dewey, can not accommodate any vessel larger than 15.000 tons. Our battleships range from 20.000 to 35.000 tons Hongkong, though within the zone

LIGHT-HEADED, TIRED FEELING Bilious Troubles Relieved By the Help of Thedford’s Black-Draught. Mrs. F. A. Watson, of 43 West High Street. Gainsville. Ga.. says that she has used Thedford's BlackDraught for fifteen years, when needed for such troubles as she mentions below: “I took Black-Draught for indigestion and the tired, worn feeling that comes from biliousness. “When I get up in the morning and mV mouth tastes bad and my eyes bum. and T feel light-headed. I know that I must take something. And after I heard how good it was. I took Black-Draught. A few doses relieve me so much—make me feel well and strong and clear up my head. “I don't know what I would do without Black-Draught. It seems to regulate the bowels and rid one of impurities.'’ Thousands of others have written to tell how many disagreeable symptoms, due to constipation, have disappeared after they had taken Thedford's Black-Draught. "It is a natural remedy, composed of selected medicinal herbs and roots, and put up by modem scientific, accurate methods.

A. 4, Schlosser Clifford. Plumb Here are four more former officials and employes of the Union Industrial bank of Flint, Mich., who are alleged to have been implicated in the embezzlement of $3,500,000 which was lost in stock market speculation. Their arrest brings the total number of arrests to ten. Montague was an assistant vice-presi-dent and manager of one of the banks branches. The others shown above were tellers.

above referred to, is far better defended and equipped. She boasts docks capable of taking care of ships of any size. And at Yokosuka, 1,350 miles northward, the Japanese have one of the world’s finest naval bases. It is the headquarters of their great first fleet. It is an open secret that Japan could take the Philippines any time she wants to. It is even said that the United States would abandon all attempt to defend the islands from the sea. the conditions being too unfavorable. Such being the broad facts in the case, it is clear that the future status of the Philippines must be a factor in any naval limitation agreement into which the United States may enter. True, a four-power pact was signed by America, Britain, Japan and France at the Washington conference guaranteeing the status quo in the Pacific, but up to now r it has not prevented large fleets being maintained in that ocean. For many Filipinos, and no small iiumber of Americans, the answer is Philippine independence. Proponents are suggesting that the United States free the Filipino and at the same time induce the other great powers to sign a treaty formally guaranteeing not to infringe upon this freedom. Heretofore one of the arguments most frequently advanced by opponents of Philippine independence has been the islands’ need of American protection. The admission of naval men that America is not now in a position to guarantee such protection doubtless will constitute part of the case presented by the new* independence mission on the eve of departure for this country.

23 COMPANIES SUE TO ENJOIN COAL NAME USE Charge City Dealers, Firms Sell Inferior Product as Pocahontas. Seventeen coal dealers and firms were named defendants in a suit filed today in federal court to enjoin use of the trade-name Pocahontas. Twenty-three companies producing Pocahontas coal joined as plaintiffs in the suit for a permanent injunction to prevent the use of such trade names as “Wonder-Poca-hontas, Banner-Pocahontas and Semi-Pocahontas’’ coal. Frederick Van Nuys, former United States district attorney, represented the plaintiffs. The defendants have twenty days in which to file an answer before Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell. $500,000 in Damage It is understood that testimony will be introduced to recover damages ranging from $300,000 to $500,000 for use of the name Pocahontas. The suit charged that the dealers had sold an inferior grade of coal, representing it to be Pocahontas. The suit defines Pocahontas coal as “semi-bituminous low volatile, smokeless coal” produced exclusively in certain territory including McDowell, Mercer and Wyoming counties West Virginia and Tazewell county, Virginia. “We are informed reliably that there are a few dealers here who will deiver any kind of coal desired from the same bin,” declared W. E. E. Koepler, speaking for the producers who are seeking to prevent allegedly fraudulent use of the tradename. “They are not miracle workers,” he added. Conditions Here Bad “I never saw conditions as bad as they are here. Your local government authorities doubtless will continue their earnest effort to clean up certain intolerable conditions.” Koepler scored the l-esort to tech-

IN 1875, an earnest young man began to practice medicine. As a family doctor, he treated many cases of constipation. He soon saw the harm in common purges and began to seek something better. Out of his experience was born a famous prescription *iow in wide use. This prescription was written thousands of times. It proved an ideal laxative for old and young. Children like its pleasant taste. Older people like it because it doesn't gripe or cause discomfort. It is a mixture of fresh herbs

and other pure ingredients; thoroughly effective for the most robust of men. Stimulates the normal muscular action of the bowels. So its use will not become a habit. As people saw how marvel-

It is a difficult task to select the personnel of a four-year administration and I want to proceed deliberately. "I’ve only been home ten days and I don’t take office for six weeks yet,” Sullivan said. A long line of persons seeking city jobs greets Sullivan daily on arrival at his office in the State Life building. Thomas L.
