Nation Celebrates Victory of Commodore Dewey Today
i'.y no moh:m:(;o. Today shim battles are bin h'M in nearly all important ci.ies of the United States commemorating the create: paal victory tliat IV.cJe Sam ever accomplished in the I'a' i:lc ooem. Twenty years a;:o. at daybreak, May 1st, U:, wi.t n Con ,rn"dfjre George- Dewy led his fearless heet through mines and torpedoes In the unknown waters cf .Manila pay in order to show i'o proud i,; a r: Bailors what thu a rd;res could do. The "Invincible." Spanish fleet was peaeefiillv at Its ar.rhorage In the b-autifuwy Manila Day. The Spnirh admiral was conlident that ho wr-uld ri d no naval strategic in order to M-.k tiw Yankee's Heft. Pa-sides, the oliio.rM and men thou-'ht th;.t should the yanks appear, the only thing for them to do !s to utter the word "Viva espana." They thought that they could scare the descendants of th oil Anglo-.-'axon sailors who destroyed the Spanish Armada in the English Channel, in July 15. 1 ö S S . I'.ut this did not work. Dewey led his shirs as If the;- were in procession for a naval te iew by the secretary of the navy in the Hudson river. When the war was declared in April 22. lsrS. the American squa1ron was in the Drlt'sh port of HongKong. Dewey received the order to proceed to Manila and capture the Spanish fleet. His fleet consisting of six -ships and two coallers which carrieil ix months' provision.! and supplies for the f.eet. Hut the coal supply bcame a crucial question; for with tiie modem rapid tiro g"Un3 it would be impossible for a man-of-war to carry enough ammunitions to last her through more than a few hours of active work. At that tim.e there wis no port where American ships could obtain supplies and coal. The ncare.-t homeport was San Francisco, 7,C-00 miles away. Put Commodore Dewey was i not the man to waste time and effort to idle speculation. He sailed for Manila from Hong-Kong ami cave orders to his fleet, "follow the Olympia and capture or destroy the Spanish fleet." For Kcvrral days the flagship Olympia led t' e rest of the ships, maneuvering n the south China Sea, and nnally the fleet arrived off Manila Hay in the dark of Uio last day of April. The Olympia led the fleet into the harbor mouth and passed the fortilkd island of Corrigidor today Corrlgidor Island is one of the strongest fortified American fortress in the world.

n.inr. and torpedoes which would have nd ingcred his fleet. The. .--pani.-rh g-uard on the Cor-rii-'iJor did not notire that Dewey's fleet was approaching the lighthouse. Put when the column of '.he American squadron was near! abreast the lighthouse, a signal "vas flashed and an alarm shot va.s fired which wan im.med lately answered by a fla-sh from the main land. Put Dewey kept on moving with the ships cleared for actions, and not a gun was discharged while the prom, procession advanced up the narrow t. trait. The only defense that the American hhips used was that they kept on steaming and insisting to put more smoke at the top of the smokestacks hoping that it be the target! of the Spanish gunners. We now tlnd Pewey's ships encircling Manila Pay at daybreak. May 1, IS OS, amid the rain of Spanish bullets; yet his command was that not to fire a shot until further order. The tactics of Commodore Dowey proved very' successful. The. Spanish ammunitions were almost exhausted and wasted upon the dark waters of the bay. Then coffee was served to thr men while the quadrun steamed through the merchant fleet toward the Spanish warships that could now be seen off the fortress of Cavite. The "Mass of war" were hoistt-d; with the Olympia in the lead, tho squadron proceeded toward the enerny and the Spanish fleet began firing while the American fleet awaited . the signal from tho Olympia. The flash of battle from the Olympia is nonv being sent. The first terrific Khots of the modern guns hammered the sides of the Spanish warships-, and tho heavy made-in-Am.erica projectiles continue to hammering them. Pefore Dewey finished his brilliant victory that day, he ordered the fleet to retreat so that the men might bo able to eat breakfast. Then the fleet returned and resumed Hunting. When one o'clock camo that afternoon, May 1, 183 8, tho "Invincible" Spanish fleet was practically crippled. Thus the greatest naval victory- was won. The last Spanish flag, for the first time sine the discovery of Ferdinand Magellan in IS 21, ceased to float abovo the horizon of the sunny Philippines. 'The Red, White and Pluc" replaced it, and today the kStars and Stripes waves throughout the archipelago as the symbol of democracy, liberty, equality and fraternity of the happy people who were oppressed by the tyrannical rule of the Spanish officials for 377 years, under the Spanish Hag.

America went before the world as the champion of the late lamented "14 points" with the f.rm belief that sh would foster its rlxfvanccs. In proof to this action, the American soldiers and sailors wont to the battle folds of Europe In order to quench tho spreading flame of autocracy. They tut the flame out with the spirit of crusader, thousands of j tham gave up their live faithfully! because they knew that thoy were the true defenders cf tho principle enunciated In trie "14 points." The "14 points" constitute the most Just International moral code ever penned by man. It I? even regarded and compared with tho Immortal "Decalogue." Put many of the points have been disregarded by the diplomats of the old world, or have bcn lost sight of in the peace treaty of Versailles. This was not duo to the unwillingness of America to abide by them, but because the old world diplomacy would not "stand hitched." However, there Is an essential point which tho European diplomats cannot escape attention from, that Is, America's principle of "Self-determination." Now, tho question is: Would America deny to the Filipino people tho principle of self-determination? In the Jor.es law. the United States solemnly promised the Filipinos that she would withdraw her sovereignty from the islands as soon as they could establish a stable government. Tho highest American official in the Philippines, the governor-general, has officially reported to congrers that the Filipino people have established the specided stable government. He recommends, therefore, that Independence, be established In the Philippines. List year, the Philippine legislature sent a special mission to the FnltecI States to ask congress its promise. Put it did not act. This year, tho second Philippine mission is on is way to America to ask again the United States to make good its promise. The world notices now that the Filitino people are knocking at the very' doors of tho American congress, asking for their promise liberty and that they aro not getting it. In the mean time, resolutions havo been passed by congress, sympathizing with the Irish causo for a government of their own choice. This is the second time within a period of nine months that the senate had done, so, asking England to free the Irish people. How could tho British government do what the American congress is asking, to free the Irish people, if the United States itself has been asked to free the Filipinos and she has not done so? Today America has the golden opportunity to prove to the world once more that it is in sincerity and good faith to champion self-determination by granting the immediate, independence to the Filipino people. It will show Great Pritain a concrete example of consistency and self-determination for the Irish people.

LODGE IN BILL TO END WAR (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) war ended would be unconstitutional and beyond the power of congress. Itcport Filed. Straight out repeal of the war resolutions is the principal object of the Knox substitute which would request the ' president to establish friendly diplomatic and commercial relations with Germany and with "the uovernments and people of Austria ar.d Hungary." Like the house resolution, it would reserve all American rights under the treaty of Versailles and provide for repeal of war legislation and war powers of the president. It would hold German property until all American war claims were satisfied, but does not include the house provision for acceptance of the resolutions terms, by Germany within 4 5 days under penalty of a commercial embargo. A formal report only on th resolution was filed by Sen. Lodge and Sen. Hitchcock of Nebraska, administration leader in the treaty fight, decided to submit no minority, but to present the opposition's arguments (luring debate. HOLD ALLEGED ANARCHISTS. TRENTON. N. J..
