Describes His Impressions of Tilings In That Heinole Quarter. Dr. H. D. Kneedler, who for eight years has been located at Manila, P.

has to Collinsville for a visit i his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. D. Kneedler.

Dr. Kneedler in glowing terms of the progress on the island the A i a regime that the i is fast becoming healthy and prosperous. There is no yellow peril in the i i i i a i the fact that there are a sons of the Orient located there. The Chinese art i and are called the Jews of the i and all that is desired by the Japanese is to be allowed to work and to receive pay for i labor. The city of a i a has an American colony of about G.nOl) persons and there are a 4 0 0 0 i French and Italians, 'and Orientals i is an up to date city according to Dr.

Kneedler and has miles of good street a i way, electric lights, parks, telephones and other conveniences. Just at present there is a new waterworks and sewer system in course of construction. Nearly all of the imp are being made possible by American capital. Cholera epidemics are believed to be a i of the past in the face of the improved conditions. There are always a few cases of cholera in the poorer quarters but they are reported and isolated.

There are a of i i secret orders in Manila, among them being a lodge of Masons operating under a Scottish Rite grant directly, and also lodges i originally 'branched the Spanish. There is also a Chinese lodge of Masons. According to Dr. Kneedler the Chi- neese claim to have practiced Masonry King Solomon was Their history is most interesting and it is found on examination that the work differs radically in some respects other Masonic bodies. One objectionable feature the Philippines is the fact that although it is considered American territoryi its people and products are not exempt from duty.

A traveler coming to America is held up by the custom officers at San Francisco and must pay On i ho is held up a a i at a i a and more is required to a i the same goods he came away with. Perhaps the most interesting condition noted by Dr. Kneedler in his travels is the a that the Orientals are increasing so a i in Honolulu a the percentage is now ten ori- entals to one i person. As soon as a Japanese boy i born it is immediately registered as an American citizen by i of its being born on A i a territory. This is said to be the result of a carefully laid plan for Japanese supremacy in the east, through the rapid a i of the race, and its assimiliation of American ideas.

It is said that to 'become an A i a citizen is the height of Japanese a i i Dr. Kneedler in an interview spoke interestingly of the leper colony on Molokai Island, where there are between two and three' thousand' lepers. If reports are true, the con- i i of the lepers are not as unhappy as has been i It is said that they a their pleasures in the shape of bal games, races, etc and that there is a theatre on the island. If choose to work the money they earn becomes their own. A strange fact in connection with lepers is that only about ten per cent of the children born in the colony are afflicted like their parents.
