Fulltext: 1..9 Chief Justice Araullo who died on Saturday morning at I o'c. - July 26. Governor General Wood declared to ;he press "that the late Chief Justice Araullo is a !!!'eat lo!'"s to the Suprem<' Court and to the people of the Philip70 pine Islands. In his life and work he embodied and typified the characteristics of the best type of citizen, the type which gives stability to a government, which ma.intains respect for law and the constituted authorities, and which r~cognizes that true liberty is found within the law. In his attainment he demonstrated what can be accomplished by a combination of ability, character, industry and morality. His life should serve as an inspiration to all young men who are dedicating themseh'es to law." But above all Chief .Justice Araullo was a fervent Catholic. Lately he had been appointed President of the Committee whose end is to recruit pilgrims willing to go to Rome to celebrate the Holy Year. Alas, Chief Justice Araullo left us to make his pilgrimage to heaven. As a staunch Catholic, great must be his reward. As a citizen of the Philippines, great must be the respect of ah Filipinos for the departed. As a wise and upright Chief Justice, he deserves the admiration of the whole world. foreign NOTE: The Allies against Germany are very busy at London discussing what is called: the Dawes' Report. The Treaty of Versailles at the end of the world-war decided the Germans should pay an indemnity, to be fixed later, to the devastated countries. This could not be fixed at that time, because Germany's capacity of paying could not as yet be determined at that time. Later the Allied Commissioners fixed the indemnity at $33,000,000,000. Germany said' she could not pay KO much, inflated her currency by printing day and night paper money which was not backed by gold and she became bankrupt. Frenc,h-Belgian troops occupied the Ruhr, the rJchest. part of Germany, hoping this way to force German,\'· to pay her df,bts and exploiting in the mean time for their benefit the rich mines of the Ruhr. This too failed to make Germany pay. A few 1months ago Mr. Dawes and other American financial experts were called t.o Germany to examine her capacity of paying. After full investigation th Commission of these experts decided that Germany could and should pay $12,000,000,000. By instalments of $600,000,000 a year in money and products. England wants a complete peace with Germany, hoping this way to better her markets and procure work to her 1,500,000 unemployed. Fran c e wants money to pay her debts and repair her devastated country. So does Belgium too. While England is in a hurry to accept the Dawes Report, France wants sure guarantees of payment and a sanction against any German refusal of payment. These are the questions discui;sed actually at London. ,,,, July 18. Several differences exist between the French, British and Italians about the dealings with the Germans in case they do not pay what the Dawes' report fixes. The British would have a new Commission appoi11ted and the French maintain the Reparation Commission to impose the penalties upon Germany when she trespasses the Dawes' report, July 19. Buenos Ayres.

NICf MANNl:RS "Can you write a good hand ?" asked a. merchant of a boy who had applied for a position. "Yaas," was the answer. "Are you good at figures ?" "Yaas." "That will do; I do not want you," said the employer curtly. "Why don't you give the lad a chance ?" remonstrated a friend, when the applicant for a position had left the store. "I kno\v him to be an honest, industrious hoy." "Because," replied the merchant decisively, "he hasn.'t learned to say 'yes, sir' and 'no, sir.' If he answers me as he did when applying for a situation, how will he answer customers after being here one month?" There are thousands of young men today who, like this youth, are handicapping their efficiency and queering their chances of success by their rude manners. Perhaps nothing besides honesty contributes so much to a young man's success in life as a courteous manner. Other things being equal, of two perons applying for a position, the one with the best manners gets it. First impressions are everything. A rude, coarse manner creates an instantaneous prejudice, closes hearts and bars doors' against us. The language of the face and the manner are the ~hort-hand of the mind, easily and quickly read. Thousands of professional men without any marked ability have succeeded in making fortunes by means of a courteous manner. Many a physician owes bis reputation and success to the recomrrienda tion of his friends and patients, who remember his kindness, gentleness, consideration, · and above all, bis politeness. This has been the experience of hundreds of successful lawyers, clergymen, merchants, tradesmen and men of every class and walk of life.
