THEY’RE BRAVE AND LOYAL Excellent Record Made by the Consta- Held In High Esteem by American Officers. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—Recently there has been a flurry in the country over the intimation made on the floor of the United States senate that Japan was looking for a naval base on the coast of Mexico with the intention of knock- ing the Monroe doctrine into bits. It is sald that if we ever have war with Japan the islanders will at once seize the Philippines, and it generally is_be- lieved that they will have no trouble in getting a foothold there and in haul- Ing down the American flag. It may be that the Japanese could get into the Philippines without very much trouble, but it is certain that they would have a fight and a hard one before they could control all the islands. There are about 12,000 Ameri- can troops in the Philippines and as usual the Americans probably would give a good account of themselves. If an invasion of the islands should come the enemy also would meet with a re- sistance not- altogether due to tae force of American arms. The Filipino constabulary and the Filipino scouts, armed organizations, one serving under the civil .govern- ment and the other under the military authority of the islands, have done field service of which the soldiers ot any army might be proud, and have shown a loyalty which means that no flag except that of the United States can command their courage and their devotion. bulary and Scouts of the Islands— | Ten Thousand Fighting Fllippinos. The officers who have served in the Philippines say that the constabulary, half police, half soldier, has in its ranks men who will give account of themselves on any field against any foe, and that what is said of the con: stabulary is true of the scouts, whose work is entirely military and who are attached to the army for the particu. lar service which their names suggest. Philippine constabulary and scouts together form a force of nearly 10.000 men and officers. The officers ia tne main are Americans, but some of the | Juniors bearing commissions in the constabulary are Filipinos trained for the work. In time these juniors will fill the places of higher rank and great~ er responsibility. Brig. Gen. Clarence R. Edwards, chief of the bureau of insular affairs, who has known the Philippine consta- bulary and scouts in town, camp and field, says they are a force upon which dependence can be placed to the very last. An officer of general rank who has seen both the constabulary and the scouts in action against the worst kind of an enemy, a hidden enemy, told me recently that he would ask for no better command than an army of 100,000 soldiers of such courage with which to meet an enemy of eaual num- I bers, and he said that he would not care much if the color of the skin of the enemy was the white of the Cau- casian. The record of the Philippine con- stabulary for the first six years of its existence was as follows: TFire arms captured ....... Stolen animals recovered Number of patrols and. exnediiions. .4 Number of encounters with ou Jutlaws killed, wounded or captured. Tonvictions secured . Number of constabul weunded ........... Very Few Desertions. It is little wonder that the American officer who turned in this report said: “These figures bear eloguent witness to the usefulness to which the con- stabulary has been put,” and then add- ed: “In the year 1907 there were but twenty desertions, which out .of a force of 5,000 men, may be taken as negllxfl ble.” baked ioods Makes delicious home- quality at minimum cost.

It is sald that the cut and style of the gowns worn by the justices of the Supreme court of the United States is 80 peculiar that it is not always pos- sible to have one correctly made. The 'wife of & former justice used to enjoy temng of her trying experi- ences when she wished to have the gown her husband was to use made in Paris. The gowns worn there by scientists, scholars and students dif- fer altogether from those our justices ‘wear. In London any-clerical tailor would have understood the kind of gown de- sired, but not so in Paris; wherefore, after many failures, the justice’s wife gave Instructions to the fashionable modiste who made her gowns The modiste was entirely successful in turning out a gown for the justice. The justices’ gowns, which are al- ways of the best quality of silk, cost Chief Justice in Gown. wpward of $100. When the Supreme court was first organized the justices wore quite gaudy gowns.

The field diity of the constabulary has been constant since the organization was formed. As the figures’ given go t¢ show, the engagements with outlaw bands have been more than 1,600 in number. The enlisted men, being withou! bayonets, .have been rushed by the enemy time after time after they had fired once, but they have stood thel ground with clubbed muskets againsi seemingly overwhelming numbers of the foe armed with spears and bolos No. member of the constabulary has shown the white feather.

NEED OF THE ARMY AVIATORS About Sixty Necessary to Keep Pace With Foreign Nations, It Is Said. ‘What the signal corps of the army needs in order to keep pace with for Have we shipped car-load after car-load of auto- mobil_es in to Bemidji and the northern part of this country.

When it eign nations in military aeronautical development is about sixty more offi- cers permanently assigned to the corps, according to those best inform- ed. When that is done it is believed the necessary machines will be pro- vided. It is pointed out that the ma- chines would be useless without the necessary aviators, and would dete riorate through lack of use. At the present time to even man the smaller number of aeroplanes now. in the possession of the signal corps it i8 necessary to borrow officers from the other military arms. About the time these officers become expert op- erators and aerial observers they are returned to their regiments and get out of practice in the handling of aero- planes. The estimate for the addition of six- ty officers permanently to the signal corps who could be used in the aero- nautical corps or “fifth military arm” of the army is declared to be a con- servative one, and would serve to bring it to an equality with foreign armies. As the other branches of the service need all the officers they have, it is hard for the signal corps to ob- tain those required. A short time ago four officers were detached from their organizations for aeronatutical work, but up to the present only one has reported for duty. It is the belief of the signal corps officers that the resolution recently in- troduced in the house calling upon the sectetary of war for much detailedin- formation regarding military aeronau- tics indicates the growing interest in that branch of the military service by congress. Grand Piano in East Room. The grand #iano which is used for all musicals at the White House and which stands in one of the corners of the great East Room was presented by a well known piano manufacturing company. The piano is in gold, is mounted upon three eagles half regardant with outstretched wings, and standing upon square pedestals draped with laurel wreaths. The case is without mold- Ings, but is adorned with a scroll ot acanthus in varying tones of red, which serves to bind together the arms of the original 12 states, which, beginning at the right, appear, dis- played upon shields of dull maroon in the order in which they adopted the Federal Constitution.
