Wild Tribes in Philippines Are Be
coming Civilized.
People Whom the Orientals WOuld Ex
terminate Progressing Fast Under
Humsne Treatment—Won By
United Btatea Policy.
Bagulo, P. I.—ln southern China.
Formosa and the Philippines there are
numerous aboriginal tribes among
whom head hunting Is a deep seated
custom. They take the heads of their
enemies as trophies of war. Among
them the man whose hut Is decorated
with the greatest number/of human
heads Is elected chief. -In Formosa
the Japanese have for several years
waged a war of extermination against
the head hunters of that Island. The
Chinese have for several centuries
pursued a similar policy toward the
head hunters of Yunnan. Szechuan
and Hunan. Both the Japanese and
the Chinese have evidently come to
the conclusion that the only thing to
do with the head hunters is to root
them out of the land, writes Dr. Luth
er Anderson in Dally News.
It has remained for America to show
that even these people can be civilized
and that they are amenable to kind
and sympathetic treatment. America
has given the wild tribes peace and
security. Instead of being continually
on the warpath the wild men can now
devote their time to their rice farms.
The American officials in the Philip
pines have acted on the principle that
the wild men will not hunt heads if
they have something better to do.
Under the tutelage of the Americans
the wild men have "learned how to
build roads. Instead of boasting of
the number of heads they have taken,
the various mountain tribes now vie
with one another in building roads.
Isolated regions hitherto inaccessible
are being opened up to the Influences
of civilization. u
Formerly the wild men did not ven
ture outside of their, own respective
districts for fear of being killed by
their enemies. Now that peace and
protection Is guaranteed to them, they
come down from the mountains and
barter their surplus products for the
comforts of civilization. Hany of them
go down to Benguet to work on the
railroad in order to earn money for
their families. They bring back to
their mountain villages clothing, medi
cines and agricultural implements.
They seed their sick to be treated
at the American hospitals in Bon toe
and Bagulo. The cures effected^by the
American doctors, though perfectly fa
miliar to civilized people, seem noth
ing short of miracles to the wild men.
A man comes to the hospital suffering
from some horrible skin disease. The
doctor orders him to wash himself sev
eral times a day and to rub some white
medicine on his body until It becomes
frothy. In a week the white medicine,
which is rjothlng more or less than
soap, has effected a marvelous cure.
When the wild man begins to use soap
he has already begun to be civilized.
When he begins to understand the
value of good roads his days of sav
agery are ended.
Half way between Bagulo and the
China sea I saw 2,000 naked men work
ing on the new Nagulllan road. When
completed this road will be one of the
finest highways In the world. Several
miles from the Nagulllan road 1 saw
the construction work on the railroad
which Is being built from Bagulo to
the China sea. The embankments were
swarming with Ifagao and Igorrote la
borers. I saw several Ifagaoe operat
ing a hydraulic excavator. The water
was led down the mountain in a huge
pipe line. It rushed through the no»
ile with terriflo force, eating away
the mountain side and washing ton*
of earth and rOck Into the gulch b»
low. It was an Inspiring sight to sea
the semi-barbarous Ifagaos operating
the engines of civilization
with skill and judgment The onrush
lng waters seemed to be singing the
words of the ancient prophet, "Every
valley shall be exalted and every hill
made low."
Some days later I visited Mrs. Alice
M. Kellers school for Igorrote glrla
This school was originally a private
institution started by Mrs. Kelley, and
taken over by the government when II
had proved to be a success. Hers
well-dressed Igorrote girls are receiv
ing the benefits of practical education.
Besides the eommon school branches
they are taught housekeeping, cook
ing, oewlng and the care of children.
Mrs. Kelleyls girls have already be
come a factor In the uplift of their
people.
The members of the first Philippine
commission, charged with the duty of
eetablishlng civil government In the
Islands, realised from the outsat that
it would bo Impracticable if not impos
sible to Intrust the government of the
non-Christian tribes to the Flllplnoe.
In the first place, the non-Christians
would never consent to be governed
by Flllplnoe: In the second place, the
Flllplnoe were utterly lacking in sym
pathy for the non-Christian popula
tion. Gov, Pablo Oux man of Cegayan
actually told Dean Worcester, former
secretary of the Philippines, that the
beet thing to do with the wild people
of Apayao. numbering 83,000, was to
kill them aIL

Allies winnlnf At / tone
tv inKg tu ve
ment of the allied armies in northern
France has brought the extreme of
their left wing about thirty miles from
the Belgian frontier.
An official statement Issued by the
French war office says that part of the
battle line stretching generally north
and south has been extended north to
a point south of Arras. This line, on
which the allies are attempting to en
velop the German right wing under
Gen. Von Kluck, has been pushed
gradually toward the Belgian border,
aa the Germans widened their front
in defense until it extends some flfty
flve miles from the angle that rests
on Tracy-le-Mont.
Terrific fighting continues on the al
lies' left wing, accord lug to the Paris
statement, the most severe struggle be
ing in the region of Roye, a town 26
miles east of Amiens and about mid
way on this battle line. Here the Ger
mans have concentrated strong forces,
probably with the purpose of breaking
through the front of the allies and iso
lating the forces to the north.
The Paris statement adds that the
Germans attempted to bridge the
Meuse near St. Mthlel, but their pon
toons were destroyed. French claims
of slight progress In the Woevre dis
trict are recorded as minor engage
ments at various points In front ex
tending east and west.
" Shelling of Rheims Continues
London.—The Rheims correspond
ent of the Exchange Telegraph compa
ny sends this story of the continued
bombardment of Rheims:
"The bombardment of Rheims still
continues. The city has now been un
der fire of the German guns for sixteen
days, and in every part of the city the
whistle of shells is heard as well as
the loud reports of their explosion,
wrecking buildings Ip every quarter.
"The fire is no longer being directed
on the cathedral, although four shells
dropped through the shattered roof
and exploded in the ruined Interior.
Brussels Facee A Fsmlns
London. —Seven hundred thousand
persons in Brussels are facing starva
tion, according to Hugh Gibson, the
secretary of the American, embassy
there, who Is now in this city. The
supply of flour In the Belgian capital
will be exhausted and other staples
are virtually all consumed. The last
apportionment of flour to the citizens
of Brussels will be given out later.
Italy Prepared For War
London. —The report that the 1885,
1886 and 1888 classes of Italian re
serves will be called to the colors ear
ly In October has been confirmed by
several Italian newspapers, according
to the correspondent of the London
Dally Mall at Venice. Eleven first cat
egory claases will then be under the
flag and will total 1,390,000 men.
—————
Invaders Have Trying Times
London. —A picture of the sufferings
of the German troops, cramped In un
derground trenches and gallertes along
the Aiane river. Is given by the Paris
correspondent of the Dally Mall. He
says that the autumnal weather with
its dsmp nights and bitterly cold
dawns, is extremely trying. If the
men step from their trenches to the
level ground they do so at the risk
of their lives. At night every German
soldier must be at his post In the
narrow ditch, sleeping as best be may.
with his rifle at his side.
Exchange of Prisonsr Begun
London.—The British and German
government have begun exchanging
lists of prisoners of war through the
the American Ambassador Page, pre
paratory to arranging an actual ex
change.
Germany's Army Of Unemployed

men and women ere idle In Germany

Amsterdam.—The Germans have
comm inced their attack on the first
line of defense of Antwerp, accord
ing to dispatches received by the Am
sterdam papers. Moll, an Important
railway junction near the Dutch bor
der, was occupied, by the Germans,
who again occupy Mallnes, began a
bombardment of Lierre, directly In
front of Antwerp. They also contin
ued their bombardment ot Forts
Waehel .and St. Catharine. It Is be
lieved heavy Austrian artillery Is be
ing used. >
Lierre, according to a message to
the Handelsblad, has-been under shell
Are some time. The people at first hid v
In the cellars, but subsequently fled
to Antwerp, being joined by fugitives
from the surrounding villages. It Is
reported that one shell fell on a hos

German Naval Reserves Ready
More than twenty-five thousand Ger
man naval reserves have been brought
from Kiel and Hamburg to Brussels
and are held in readiness to serve on
the Improvised German'' fleet should
Antwerp and'Ostend be taken.
As a direct result ot this move the j
British authorities along the Scheldt i
have Increased their watchfulness, for
during a siege of Antwerp England
might like to send reinforcements
through the Dutch Schledt, which
would be a breach of neutrality, while
on the other hand a German victory
would bring danger of an attempt on
the part of Germany to use the mount
of the Scheldt as a base from which
to attack the British naval forces In
the North sea.
World's Strongest Forts
The fortifications of Antwerp are
reckoned among the strongest In the
world. In 1860, twenty eight years
at A the taking of the city by English
and French troops, Brlalmont, the
noted Belgian builder, supervised the**
refortlflcation of the city and since
1877 it has had a line of forts well out
from the Inner defenses. In 1907 the
government decided to do away with
tlfe Inner line of walls and replace
them with an Inner line of forts on
the right bank of the Scheldt.
The greatest Importance Is attached
to the outer works. They consist in I
part of new fortifications, In part of
old forts rebuilt. The work was be
gun In 1913. It is probable that this
Ideal was realized and that (he fort!- i
flcatlon system is now practically com- .
piete.
The outer chain of forts lies from
ten to eleven miles outside the city
and has a front of about eighty mlleir.
Mayor Of Brussels Arrested

of the German military governor on
the charge that he hal ordered the

dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph
German People Are Isolated
i Berlin. —The cutting of German sub
' marine cables, the censorship and the
! exclusion of foreign newspapers from
1 the empire have resulted In shutting
1 out from Germany virtually all news
of the outside world. For the past
three daya the Berlin newspapers have
' been carrying full descriptions of the
architectural details of the Rhelms ca
thedral. while In the laat sixteen days
only three places have been specifical
ly mentioned In the government war
bulletin. These are Noyon, Rhelms
and Chautean Brlmond.
German's War Fund Inormous
Berlin. —Response of the Oerman
public to the government's efforts to
raise a war fund of five billion marks
11,2(0,000,000), has. It Is asserted
here, removed all anxiety the nation
may have had regarding Its ability to
meet financial obligations due to the
war. Originally the relchstag allowed
1 a war credit of Ave billion marks In ad
-1 dltion to the war treasure, and of this
amount 4,500,000,000 marks has been
' subscribed by the public without

sources of the empire.

Oil the battle front, via Paris.—A
thtiil was In the air all along the ex

and British troop* who (or more than
a fort night, hare been la cloaeet con

The fury of the Oeionaa onalaught
was unabated today, especially on the
western wing, but their every effort
was met with vigor by the alllea, who
seemed to vie with each other in using
all their strength and oourage agalnet

The scene of the most violent at
