...from Manila the cable flashed last week a speech which crowned perhaps the greatest triumph of the calm potency of Leonard Wood. The speech was from the lips of Emilo Aguinaldo. Concerning him, let it be remembered that in 1899 when the U. S. decided to hold the Philippines, he shot up a U. S. outpost and started an insurrection which lasted six times as long as the Spanish War, cost more than half as much, required 60,000 U. S. troops to quell...

...Thames is a most messy river at the point (between Putney and Barnes) where it is still customary to hold these annual races. But this day it was calm, at least not torn with tide-rips as it was last year when the Oxford shell water-logged and sank. And one's family could get a halfway decent look at the show this year, for it was held in the morning before the plebs were turned loose from the factories to swarm the banks and rowdy on the bridgeheads...
