CONGRESS HEARS DRAMATIC PLEA FROM FILIPINO

Philippine Resident . Commissioner isaure Gabaldon

In a speech which was giveg very close attention and was frequently applauded. o : o : “At one time,” sald Commissioner Gabaldon, “Congress had before it no less than thirty resolutions expreéssing sympathy with the aspirations of the llrish people, If not actualy urging England to grant independence to Ireland. At that time, also the Filipinos were knocking at your doer. Out of the womb of war, many European republies were born, and America has reJoiced to uphold the same. And yet the claim of the Filipinos Is stil] unbheeded. Must there be exceptions, then, in international justice? . “My plea, gentlemen of the American Congress, is that you ignore no: longer the repeated requests of a deserving people for. an Independence that rightfully belongs to them. The ~granting of independence now affords the United States a golden opportunity to give to the world unanswerdble proof of its sincerity, its consistency *and its altrulsm. It will be the greatest example of square dealing in the history of the ages. e “Do not think we are not appre-. clative of all you have done for us. We are. America has truly treated the Fllipino people as no other nation has ever treated an alien race In all history. The high points of the AmerAdcan policy in the Phillppines have been consistently inspired by altruism. We know that you were actuated in your labors by the desire ta contribute to our own welfare. L “And we love you perhaps most of all for your solemn promise to grant us that which we hold dearer than life itself—our freedom. -Independence is our national ideal. It is our all absorbing aim. It grows stronger every hour. For the spirit of nationalism never dies. Much less can it be subdued. We belleve that we can never hope to be a sturdy nation if we are to rely forever on the magnanimity of the United States. : “America's task In the Philippine Islands is finished. What you have assumed as your sacred obligation in that part of the world has been fulfilled. A people with a medieval system of institutions has been transformed into a consclous nation, imbued with all that is modern in the activities of nations. And if you give us independence our gratitude to you will increase a thousand fold; it will last forever If you keep faith with us. “There is but one issue in the Philfppine question, and that is: Is there today a stable government on the Is lands? In thé Jones lJaw you promised independence upon the establishment of such a stable government. Your own Governor-General has officially reported that there Is a stable government in existence today, and we also have submitted plenty of evidence to substantiate its existence. Therefore, we hope and expect America will now carry out its pledge.” :

NOT A “TRENCH” OF BAYONETS

True Story of Famous Incident at Verdun, Which French Bravery Has Made Immortal,

down from the monument over the famous “Trench of the Bayopets™ at Verdun which President Millerand has inaugurated. But the term “trench”™ is a missomer. The true story Is this: e o Fifty-seven survivors of two Breton battalions were holding the line there, not in.a treoch, but Iln a serfes of shellholes, nearly regularly spaced and allgned. The mwen were 50 pucked that when any were wounded they were unable to fall down, while for security they held their rifies, with fixed bayonets in the alr, : : ‘During the whole of June 11, 12 and 18, 1016, a terrible artillery duel raged round them. Caught between the French and German barrage fires, one by one the men died, while the bursting shells buried them under waves of torn-up ground. When the scene could be visited all that remalned was a line of bayonets protruding from the ground.—Continental Edition of the London Mall, ; »

Washington, — “Must the beart of America beat only for the freedom of Ireland, of Poland and of the Czecho - Slovaks, and not for the independence of the Philippine Islands?" - : This was the question Resident Commissloner Isauro Gabaldon of the Philippines _adressed directly -to the membership of the House of Representaives

A Belgian paper télls of a woman fiving at Mons who is denled a marMage license because she does not know her name, age or birthplace and therefore “has no legal existence.” The case s analagous to that of a man named Mahony who was hanged soine years ago. ‘When the prison physician pronounced him dead, the body was cut down and delivered to the relatives. _Life was not extinet, hovwever, and a few hours later the ‘man was quite himself again. He was shot by a murderer some time after{um». but the assasgin could not be brought to justice Lecause, as the court sald, “Mahony was legally dead, and therefore could wot be killed subsequently by anybodyg.” : :

® ¢ & Booksare the great civilizers of the race, the storelipuses of knowledge, the granaries of Intellectual food. Therefore to designate in all candor which books of those that are made are, indeed, public pabulum, and which are straw; carefully and conscientiously to examine and explain, one man for the million, the publications which are conducive or detrimental, in whole or in part, to learning and progress, is one of the most important. and noblest works in which mah can be engaged, while to prostitute the powers requisite for such & position i{s one of the basest.—Hubert Howe Bancroft.

He told of the charts, the instruments, the telegraphic reports, etc. “And that's how he finds out the weather for tomorrow.” he finished.
