FILIPINOS WILL
! ACCEPT MANDATE
I WHENUBERATED
MANILA.—Confirmation by Gov
ernor Harrison upon his arrival here
a few days ago of his recommenda
tions that, in the event that inde
pendence is granted to the Philip
pines, restrictions such as were pro
vided in the case of Cuba by the
Platt amendment be embodies in the
liberating act and resulting treaty,
has, contrary to expectations, arous
ed practically no hostile comment
among the Filipinos.
The native press is remarkably
silent on the attitude of the chief
executive. The opposition paper,
representing the Partido Democrats,
contents itself with pointing out
that the attitude of the governor is
undoubtedly approved by the Na
tionalists party leaders, and, after
all, was only to be expected. The
Nacionalista papers refrain from
any momment whatsoever, favorable
or otherwise.
Governor Harrison's statement up
on his arrival here as carried by
the local press is as follows:
"The recommendation that early
independence be given the Philip
pines under an arrangement similar
to the Platt amendment for Cuba
was made by me officially as gov
ernor-general of the islands, and is
also my personal recommendation.
The recommendation—and this point
I took pains to make clear to Con
gress—was not presented by me as
representing the opinion of the Fili
pino people, nor as representing that
of my superiors.
“Naturally. I am not in a posi
tion to come back with any prom
ises as to a date for the granting
of independence," continued the gov
ernor, in reply to the queries of
his interviewers. “That is a matter
which is entirely in the hands of
Congress. Congress has already
promised the Philippines their inde
pendence, and it will have final
voice in determining when that in
dependence is to be granted.”

UP BAULEFIELDS
DIXMUDE, Belgium. — Scattered
over the low-lying country between
Lypres and Dixmude, scene of many
a battle, are thousands of German
prisoners under guard of British
and Belgian soldiers, as well as
civilians, who have been called into
the gigantic task of clearing up the
battlefields and once more making
it fit for habitation. They are
stacking shells, recovering brass
cases, and burying the dead. There
is a military efficiency about their
work and the progress they are
making is most gratifying for all
the governments concerned.
One may still see the ruins of
many British and Belgian tanks,
caught in the German shell fire, now
twisted and broken wrecks. They
lie rusted and neglected, mere
shells of the once powerful ma
chines which went into action. Some
of them are almost buried in the
mud, others hang precariously on
the edge of dilapidated trenches,
while still others stand high in the
fields where they were abandoned
by such of their crews as survived.
Many of them are torn and riddled
as though their heavily armor*!
sides were little more than paper.
Perhaps the most impressive fea- ,
ture of this dead and blackened >
landscape are the trees. Gaunt and
stark, stripped of every limb and
branch, they stand out against the
skyline, so many lifeless sticks.
Whole villages have disappeared,
ground by the big guns into mud
or dust, without one vestige remain- .
ing to mark their location. This is i
true of Poelcapelle, whose former
existence would not have been sus
pected had not a Belgian major
volunteered the information that
here his battalion had once held
its main street for three days.
Many live shells still remain in
the fields, and recently, as a party
was passing within a few miles of
Dixmude, they were startled by the
explosion of one of these “duds."
Reconstruction is going forward.
Near the shack reared by one thrifty
Belgian who has returned to the
site of his former home is a dis
abled tank, a shell having ripped
through its side and exploded in
the interior. From one side of the
tank to that humble shack stretches
a clothesline, and on given days
the family washing is hung out to
dry.
Children of that family play in
the broken tank, enacting, as they
have often heard related the grim
story of the battle. That is. they
play when they are not at work,
for Belgium is using even its chil
dren to rebuild its homes.
