OTHER RliLIKt WORK 



In addition to the relief work of the Phil- 

 ippines chapters of the American Red Cross 



had made plans for their use, and, in so far 

 as possible, it was the intention to man 

 them with Filipino crews. 



In a way that was more effective, the Phil- 

 ippines were called upon to contribute to 

 the salvation of Russia, as a matter of vita! 

 importance to the allied cause. To ac- 

 complish this the Philippine Department of 

 the United States Army was practically 

 stripped of American troops, and the men 

 from Fort William McKinley, just outside 

 of Manila, are still on duty in Siberia. 



LIBERTY LOANS 



Four Liberty Loans have been floated in 

 the Philippines, and we are now on the eve 

 of the campaign for the fifth. 



To the four Liberty Loans the Philippines 

 have subscribed approximately $20,000,000. 

 In the first loan no allotment was made for 

 the Islands but over $500,000 was subscribed. 

 In the second loan the Islands were alloted 

 $1,000,000, a total which was over sub- 

 scribed by 75 per cent. 



A GROUP OF "FOUR MINUTE MEN," MANILA. OVER TWO THOUSAND OF THESE MEN RENDERED EFFECTIVE SERVICE 

 IN WAR WORK CAMPAIGNS THROUGHOUT THE ISLANDS 



the Philippines played a large part both be- 

 fore and after the entrance of the United 

 Slates in the war, in contribution of funds 

 for Belgium, France, and British war relief 

 work. 



Through the cooperation of private citi- 

 zens and the Philippine tobacco industry 

 literally millions of cigarettes and hundreds 

 of thousands of Philippine cigars were ship- 

 ped direct to the American troops in France. 



At the same time, the Islands contributed 

 liberally to the "ball and bat fund," or- 

 ganized by Clarke Griffith, and in return 

 that organization tendered to the Phil- 

 ippine Government baseball equipment suffi- 

 cient to meet the needs of the entire Phil- 

 ippine Guard Division. 



OTHER MILITARY ACTIVITIES 



In addition to the offer of the Philippine 

 Guard Division, the Philippine government 

 supported its pledge of loyalty to the United 

 States by the gift of a torpedo boat de- 

 stroyer, and a submarine, both of which have 

 been constructed in American ship-yards 

 at the expense of the Philippine treasury. 

 Although these craft were not completed in 

 time to take an active part in the naval 

 campaign of the United States, the navy

 of Washington announced that the sub- 

 scription quota for the Philippines would

be $3,000,000. This announcement, for the 

 first time, came sufficiently far in advance of 

 the opening of the drive to permit the perfec- 

 tion of an efficient organization to handle 

 the campaign both in Manila and throughout 

 the provinces. The government and the 

 Philippine National Bank, a semi-govern- 

 ment institution, took the initiative in the 

 preparation^ to make this campaign an over- 

 whelming success. Provincial and municipal
