PHICIPPINES COULD SUPPORT 40,000,000 Sludy-of Business of Isiands Re-| veals Many Wastes. Washington, Jan. 26.—The Philip- [pines are capable of producing enough 90d and wealth to support comfort- 1bly 40,000,000, according to Presi- dent Waters of the Kansas State Ag- ricultural college, who has investi- gated agricultural conditions and pos- sibilities of the islands, a copy of “hose report was received at the ureau of insular affairs here today. As compared with Japan, he says, he Philippine farmer gets only one- *¥ 48 much per acre; that while thE latter produces 200,000,000 pesos WOrth of wealth annually on the seven million acres in cultivation, the Jap- unese farmers produce two billion pesos warth of wealth on their fouf- teen million acres. Might Produce Products. The Philippines would be the lead- ng cane sugar producing country in he world, Cuba excepted, if the planters raised as much per acre as o the planters in Java, says Presi- [dent’ Waters. Furthermore, they iwould be the third largest rice ex- jporting country, if the Philippine Towers obtained as high acre vields hs do those of Japan or the United States. Again, the islands could sup- port a larger pork and poultry in_ jlustry than either Canada or Aus- alid, if the yield of corn per acre equalled that of the United States or | apan. While the people of the Philippines pay the farmers of Australia and ndia about 3,500,000 pesos annually | for meat and work stock, one may | ide for days through grass up to the | Baddle skirts, says President Waters, Without seeing a herd of cattle or horse. | | | i Very Many Wastes. He declares that a study.or the bus- ness of the islands reveals many | wastes, and cites the fact that last Year nine million pounds of raw sugar | were sold at four centavos a pound, all of which, or its equivalent was! bought back again at ten centavos a pound, and again that with almost | limitless forest resources more than| one million pesos worth of lumber | was purchased from the outside world. | AT SWORT French Censors and Newspaper En- Zaged in Conflict. ~Par: 26, 4 a. m.—A flict between the censors and one of | the newspapers has here.

At 2 o'clock this afternoon, all tickets in the hands of the ticket com- mittee of “The Red Mill” were put on | public sale at Crowell's and Dickin- | son’s drug stores and at the jewelry Main and store of M. P. Leghorn at Commercial streets. This step was taken at the sugges- tion of many Main street business men who believe that many persons have in the past been unable to pro- cure tickets because they have not known any members of the company. The management of “The Red Mill™ wishes to give equal opportunities to all in procuring tickets., It 1s ex- pected that the tickets put on sale will be disposed of rapidlv. A plan to do away with the neces- sity of having a line of applicants walting all day to exchange their ada- vance tickets for seats has been ar- ranged by the ticket committee. The exchange of tickets will be made Thursday evening at 7 o’clock at 138§ Main street, the vacant store room in J. Hallinan’s block. In former years a long line of boys has formed and waited all day for the exchange to begin. Some member of the ticket committee will be at the store all day Thursday and as soon as any person arrives he will be given a card giving his number in the iine. When the ex- change opens at night. each person will be given opportunity to make a selection according to his number. Each person will be permitted to se- lect twenty seats on each seat chart or sixty seats for all three perform- ances. When a person appe:rs for his “place card” during the day, he must give the name of the person who will appear at night to make the selection. None but the person whose name is on the card will be permitted to respond to that number and if the person with the card is not the same as the person named on the card, he will not be permitted to make an exchange. This system will make un- necessary an all day line and it is believed wiil be a fairer way of ap- portioning the seats.

CflNN[(}IIGl]I NAVAL ]“Hello San Francisco!” ““Hello, New York!” MILITIA RANKS FIRST You Can Now Telephone Across Cantment "HELLO, SAN_FRANCI Mest Efficient of a1 Organizations on Naval Cruises. Hartford, Jan. 2 In the reports officers of the United States navy the just issued, ef the U, which the Connecticut, by on naval militia cruises of 1914, Captain C. S. S. Rhode Island. Rhode Tsland, Missouri, New Jersey, District North Carolina and militia made cruises, says that the Connecticut militia wa the most efficient of all and pays a | tribute to Commander H. J. Hill, Jr.,, its commanding officer. The reports | of other officers on board the Rhode Island also rate the Connecticut or- | ganization highly. Speaking of the Connecticut Naval Militia in his report, Captain Williams | says: “This organization was, in my ! inion, the most efficient of all. The discipline and cleanliness was very good. The enlisted personnel, a whole, is ready to muster into the service, though probably not all at their respective ratings. The com- { manding officer is a very efficient officer, possessing to a marked degree the natural qualities desirable in a naval officer. The other officers ap- peared as a rule to be ambitious. ener- getic and imbued with a military spirit.” Praise From Other Officers. Not only does Captain Williams thus praise the Connecticut citizen tars, but the reports of the other officers of the United States navy on the cruise are in the same vein. Says Lieutenant H. L. Pence, after characterizing the Missouri militia as so small as to be lost in the shuffle: “With respect to the other organizations I would rank them in all around efficiency as fol- lows: Connecticut, New Jers Pennsylvania, Rhode Island. \ia.me, District of Columbia, North Carolina, “As regards the qualifications of the officers to perform the duties of their grade, none were qualified. The nearest approach to this condition was the commanding officer of the Connecticut Naval Militia. T believe him qualified for a commission of lieutenant commander in the regular service. I believe that an officer of the naval militia should at least be competent to hold a commission in the naval militia which is not more than one rank above what he would bold in the regular service. The ideal condition would be for him to have equal rank and that condition should be striven for. In this connection I would like to suggest that an officer school of some kind would be a valu- able adjunct to the state militias.” In his report he also praises Com- mander Hill on his navigating ability. He says: “In the two recent cruises I was assigned to instruct the ad- vanced class in navigation. During the second cruise I had three out of the four commanding officers, and about two officers of the lower grades Of the latter commanding officers, only one, the commanding officers of the Connecticut detachment, is a qualified navigator. He is the only officer coming under my observation in any of the detachments ‘who qualified for deep sea navigation.” On the second cruise to which Lieu- tenant Pence refers were the Con- necticut, Rhode Island, Maine and Missouri detachments, The other de- tachments were on a separate cruise. Desirable Addition to Navy. In the reports on the engineering forces on the appearance of the men and on gunnery, there is also much praise for Connecticut from the United States officers. ‘“‘The petty of- ficers of this (the Connecticut) or- ganization,” Lieutenant C. T. Meyers of the engineering force, says, “werc too numerous in proportion to the total engineering force. The engineer- ing force of this organization is ef- ficient and was by far the best of any of those in the cruise. Two warrant officers hold unlimited licenses for ocean-going ships and one warrant officer holds a license for 5,000 tons or less. 1 believe the engineering force of this organization would be a very desirable addition to the navy in time of war.” The Connecticut de- tachment had on the cruise three chief machinist’'s mates, two ma- chinist's mates of the first class, one machinist's mate of the second class, four firemen of the first class, two firemen of the second class, eleven coal-passers and four engineer offi- cers. In regard to the appearance of the men Licutenant Meyers says: “The Connecticut and Missouri or- ganizations presented a remarkably neat and orderly appearance.” Interested in Gunnery, Lieutenant W. R. VanAuken, in his report on gunnery, says: ‘The officers and men (of the Connecticut detach- Williams on Maine, Columbia, as 1 TH S A N POLE SETTING iz NEVADA -3 - ALEXANDER 4.

This is especially true of tho North Carolina detachment. 1n his general report on the cruise in which the Connecticut, Rhode TIs- land, Maine and Missouri detachment took part, Captain Williams say “The large Connecticut organization was divided almost equally and as- signed to the first and second divi- sions of the ship's organization.
