THE EAST COAST OF SUMATRA
This part of the East Coast of the Island of Sumatra is situated between the Government of Acheen and its Dependencies in the north, the Straits of Malacca in the east, Indragiri (a part of the Residency of Riouw and its Dependencies) in the south, and the Residency of Sumatra's West Coast and of Tapanoeli in the west. It includes a great number of States, each of which, under control of the Governor, is ruled by a native Prince or Chief, who, according to his rank and dependency, is styled Sultan, Yang di Pertuan, Kedjuruan, Radjah, Datu, etc. The country is administered by a Governor, 6 Assistant-Residents, 14 Controllers (incl. Gezaghebbers) and 3 Assistant-Controllers Justice is dispensed by the Court of Justice at Medan, the Landraad of Medan and Bindjei, Tandjung Balei, Tebing Tinggi and Bengkalis, the residen- tiegerechten of Bindjei, Tandjoeng Balei and Bengkalis, the Magistrates, and by native Courts or Karapattan. The staple industry of the country is agriculture, and, this being dependent upon imported labour (Chinese and Javanese), the labour question is carefully guarded by a special Coolie Ordinance. All coolies are indentured under advances. The employer must house his people properly, provide them with medical attendance and food when sick, and monthly payments are compulsory. Six special officials (1 Inspector and 5 adj. Inspectors of Labour) look after this.
Land is leased from the ruling prince or chief of the district for a certain number of years, so much per bahu or per acre being paid down, and a minimum f.1 per bahu or per acre per annum being paid as annual quittance.
The supremacy of the Dutch Government is based upon political treaties with each of the Princes, in whose hands is left the jurisdiction over their own subjects except so far as relates to the infliction of the death penalty and banishment, and the disposal of land or landed property. Land contracts with Europeans, while made between the ruling prince and the concessionaire, are subject to the approval of the Governor. Mining contracts require the approval of the Governor-General of the Netherland-Indies. In all the States the Dutch Government has bought the right to collect the customs duties and the ordinary revenues. Land revenue, collected by Government officials, is at the disposal of the native rulers and his chiefs. The best known of the States is Deli, where tobacco planting was first introduced, and by which name the whole of the East Coast is sometimes designated. Deli, Langkat, Serdang and other tobacco-growing districts, are celebrated throughout the world for their fine silky tobacco leaf, which is specially fitted for the outside wrappers of cigars, being at once light in weight and elastic and strong in texture. The leading tobacco company is the Deli Maatschappij, which, for many years, has paid a dividend averaging 75 per cent. per annum. Next to tobacco, with a planted area of 172,000 acres, the cultiva- tion of rubber (Hevea Brasiliensis) has developed to such an extent in recent years that now there is a planted area of some 300,000 acres. The capital invested in rubber estates amounts to more than £12,000,000. The territory in which rubber grows stretches from Langkat in the north to Asahan and Siak in the south. The cultiva- tion of tea has also developed in the last few years until it has now a planted area of more than 12,284 acres, more than 6,000 acres of which are in production.
Other important agricultural products are given below :-

Coffee Copra Gambier
5,621 122 K.G, 6,098,664 4,883,950
Very important also is the export of fish froin Bagan Si Api Api-the second fish export harbour of the world to Singapore and Java. In 1916 was exported from that place 19,072 tons (1,000 K.G.) fish, and 9,897 tons (1,000 K.G) shrimps, trasi, etc. Considerable also is the export of timber from the islands near Bengkalis to Singa- pore. About 3,000 coolies are employed in this trade. The production of paddy, though
THE EAST COAST OF SUMATRA
considerable, falls short of the demand by many thousand bags, which are mostly imported from the Straits Settlements. Kerosene oil is exported from Langkat to the Straits Settlements, British India, Hongkong, Siam and China. Almost all neces- saries of life have to be imported, and a brisk trade between Java, the Straits Settlements, Europe and the East Coast is the consequence.
Medan (Deli), the residence of the principal civil and military officials, is a pleasant little town, laid out in modern style, and the streets are lit with electric light. A splendid residence with architectural pretensions has been built for the Governor in the new quarter of Polonia. In the town six European banking corporations the Javabank, the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, the Nederlandsche Handel Maatschappij, the Nederlandsch-Indische Handelsbank, the Nederlandsch-Indische Escompto Maatschappij, and Uniebank voor Nederland E Kolonien-have their branches, and there are also two Chinese bink. There are two very good hotels (Hotel de Boer and Medan Hotel) a Club (Witte Societeit), a Race Club, numerous houses of business, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Malay, Bombay and Kling shops, etc.
The port of Belawan (Deli), on the Belawan River, is in communication with Medan by road and railway, the lines of which extend a long distance up country and the north, giving also communication via Tandjoeng Poera and Pankalan Brandan with Koeta Radja (Atchin) and to the south, via Tebing Tinggi, with Tandjoeng Balei (Asahan) and Pematang Siantar. Other important ports are those of Pangkalan Brandai, Tandjoeng Poera, Tandjoeng Ralei, Bengkalis, Bagan Ani Api and Laboean Bilik.
The population under this Government amounted in November, 1920, to 7,882 Europeans, 1,042,930 natives, and 146,742 other Orientals-a total of 1,197,554 as compared with 830,202 in 1915 and 568,417 in 1805.

PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Named in honour of PHILIP II, King of Spain.
LOCATION
Lying to the southeast of the great continent of Asia and occupying much the same position as the West Indies in North America, the Philippine Islands, a vast archipelago, extend between the meridians of 116° 40′ and 126° 34′ East Longitude, and between the parallels of 4° 40′ and 21° 10′ North Latitude. They are bounded on the north and west by the China Sea, on the east by the Pacific Ocean, and on the south by the Celebes Sea. They lie about six hundred miles off the coast of China. The northernmost group is but a short distance south of the Japanese island of Formosa, while the southernmost extremities reach close to Borneo and the Celebes.
AREA AND POPULATION
The total area of the Philippine Islands is 114,400 square miles. This is larger than the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware put together. The Philippine Archipelago is composed of 7,083 islands, of which 2,441 are named and 4,642 are not. There are eleven important islands, each of which has an area of more than 1,000 square miles. Luzon has an area of 40,814 square miles; Mindanao, 36,906; Samar, 5,124; Negros, 4,903; Palawan, 4,500; Panay, 4,448; Mindoro, 3,794; Leyte, 2,799: Cebu, 1,695; Bohol, 1,534; and Masbate, 1,255.
The Philippine Archipelago is divided into three great groups of islands designated as Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao. Luzon includes the provinces of Abra, Albay, Bataan, Batangas, Bulacan, Cagayan, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Cavite, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, Isabela, Laguna, La Union, Mountain Province, Nueva Ecija, Nueva Vizcaya, Pampanga, Pangasinan, Rizal, Sorsogon, Tarlac, Tayabis and Zambales, and the island-provinces of Batanes, Marinduque, Masbate and Mindoro. The second group, the Visayas, is made up of the provinces of Antique, Capiz and Iloilo, on the island of Panay; Occidental Negros and Oriental Negros, on the island of Negros; and the individual island-provinces of Bohol, Cebu, Leyte, Romblon, Samar and Palawan. The third group, Mindanao, is made up of the provinces of Agusan, Bukidnon, Cotabato, Davao, Lanao, Misamis, Surigao, Zamboanga, and a cluster of islands forming the province of Sulu.
According to the Philippine Census of 1918, the total population is 10,350,730, chiefly of the Malay race, ninety-one and one-half per cent. of whom are Christians receiving the benefits of the blending of the Oriental, the Spanish, and the American civilization. This part of the population includes 9,400,283 Filipinos; 43,212 Chinese; 6,731 Americans; 6,636 Japanese; 4,071 Spaniards; 993 English; 304 Germans; 207 French; 138 Swiss; and 1,156 of other nationalities. Only 886,999, or eight and one-half per cent., are Moros and pagans, but even these are fast taking advantage of the all- pervading system of public schools.
PHYSICAL FEATURES
The Philippines is a group of islands varying in size from Luzon, which is practically as large as Belgiuin, the Netherlands and Denmark combined, to the nameless islets rising just a few feet above the water. The coastline includes many fertile coastal plains. Added to these are the Central Plain, the Cagayan and Bicol Valleys of Luzon; the Central Plain of Panay; and the Agusan and Cotabato Valleys of Mindanao. Most of the large islands are crossed by well-defined ranges, running, as a rule, in a north and south direction; Mount Apo, in south-eastern Mindanao, is the highest peak, with an altitude of 9,450 feet.
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
The principal part of the group comes within the range of the typhoons, and violent storms are of frequent occurrence during the so-called rainy season. The islands are also the centre of great volcanic action. "The destructive ravages and changes produced by earthquakes," says Sir John Bowring, writing in 1859, "are nowhere more remarkable than in the Philippines. They have overturned mountains, they have filled up valleys, they have desolated extensive plains; they have opened passages from the sea to the interior, and from the lake into the sea. There are inany traditional stories of these territorial revolutions, but of late disasters the records are trustworthy. That of 1796 was sadly calamitous. In 1824 many churches in Manila were destroyed, together with the principal bridge, the barracks, great numbers of private houses; and a chasm opened of nearly four miles in length. The inhabitants all fled into the fields, and six vessels in the port were wrecked. The number of victims was never ascertained. In 1828, during another earthquake, the vibration of the lamps was found to describe an arc of four and a half feet; the huge corner stones of the principal gate of the city were displaced; the great bells were set ringing. It lasted between two and three minutes, rent the walls of several churches and other buildings, but was not accompanied by subterranean noises, as is usually the case." In 1832, 1852, 1863, 1869), and 1880 there were terrible shocks of earthquake, and, in 1891, in the Province of Pangasinan, shocks were continually repeated during a month, shaking down buildings, crushing their inmates, and creating a panic among the inhabitants. The most noteworthy volcanoes are Buheyan in Mindanao, Taal in Batangas, and Bulusan and Mayon in Albay. The last is in continual eruption and at times creates terror in the surrounding country on account of the quantity of boiling water, ashes, and lava it throws out. In 1872 an eruption of this volcano destroyed entirely the villages of Malinao, Camalig, Guinobatan, Ligao, Polangui, and Albay.
The land area of the Philippines is covered largely with forests. The rest is made up of cultivated land, grass and open land, and mangrove swamps. The rivers are generally small and short, but the Cagayan River, the largest in Luzon, drains one-fourth of the island. The Ágno and Pampanga Rivers, two other important rivers. in Luzon, and the Agusan and Cotabato Rivers, in Mindanao, are also of consider- able size. There are a few lakes in the Philippines and most of them are small Laguna de Bay and Lake Taal, in Luzon, and the beautiful Lake Lanao, in Mindanao, being the most important.
CLIMATE AND HEALTH
The climate of the Philippines is among the best in the tropics. Generally speak- ing, it is agreeably warm with cool nights and pleasant late afternoons and early mornings, although there are some places in the Islands where it cannot strictly be so described. December, January, February and March are very nearly ideal. Even during the months of April and May many parts of the islands, especially Manila, enjoy a cool breeze. The rest of the year is inclined to be rainy. During the rainy season inundations of rivers are frequent, and travelling in the interior is at times. interrupted. Droughts, however, sometimes occur, which seriously impair crops. The year is divided into three seasons-the wet, the dry-cool and the dry-hot. The wet season lasts from the middle of June to the middle of November, the dry-cool season from the middle of November to the middle of February, and the dry-hot season from the middle of February to the middle of June. These seasonal periods, however, cannot be applied to all parts of the Philippines, for some parts are affected by different ocean currents which modify climatic conditions therein.
The variety of climate in the Philippines is beneficial to the health of the inhabi- tants. The death-rate for every one thousand whites in Manila for 1917 was eight and eight-tenths, as compared with sixteen and five-tenths for New York, fifteen for San Francisco, and fourteen for Chicago. Ideal health-resorts are found in many of the highlands of the Philippines, like Antipolo in Rizal, Lucban and Sariaya in Tayabas, Taal in Batangas, Silang and Indang in Cavite, Bukidnon and lands around Lake Lanao in Mindanao, and the plateaus of Baguio, approximately 5,000 feet above sea- level and about 175 miles from Manila. Medical reports speak highly of Baguio as a health resort, and of the medicinal waters of Sibul Springs and Los Baños.
The Philippine Health Service is the Governinent branch in charge of enforcing measures and promulgating rules and regulation for the promotion and protection of public health and for the maintenance of general sanitary conditions. Its jurisdiction extends to all the cities, towns and barrios of the Islands. Due to its work, there has been noticeable general health improvement all over the archipelago during the past
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
two decades. The system of sanitation actually enforced in the Philippine Islands is conceded to be on a par with that of any other civilized country in the world. The people of the Philippines are beginning to realize the advantages of a well-organized and nation-wide system of sanitation. The old attitude of distrust towards sanitary rules in the country has disappeared; the people to-day are exerting all their energies toward promoting the gospel of clean and healthy living. Hospitals are fast increas- ing throughout the Islands, and every day they are gaining ground in the estimation of the people. In Manila, the largest and most up-to-date among the hospitals in existence is the Philippine General Hospital. There are seven hospitals in the city of Manila and sixteen in the provinces.
In his trip around the world, Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese, in the service of Spain, discovered the Philippine Islands on March 16th, 1521. Spain, claiming the country, colonized it in 1565, when Legaspi, the first Governor of the Philippines, founded the first Spanish settlement in Cebu. The city of Manila was founded on June 3rd, 1571.
The early history of the Philippines is a record of continual trouble. Conflicts between the civil and ecclesiastical authorities led to internal contentions, while both Portugal and the Netherlands coveted these rich possessions and harassed the Spaniards. In 1606 the Dutch blockaded the ports with five ships, which were, however, destroyed by the Spanish fleet. Attacks were also made at different points by powerful Chinese piratical fleets. The most celebrated of these was the invasion by Li Ma Hon, who with 2,000 men landed at Manila in 1574, but was defeated and driven out by the Spaniards and natives, under the leadership of Juan de Salcedo. In 1762 the capital was taken by the English, the private property of the inhabitants being saved from plunder on the condition of the payment of a ransom of £1,000,000, half of which was paid in money and the other half in bills upon the Spanish Treasury. In the meantime, however, peace had been concluded, and the islands were restored to Spain, payment of the balance of the indemnity not being insisted upon.
The Filipinos were given representation in the Spanish Cortes in 1810. galleon trade instituted by the Spanish Governinent lasted one hundred years, ending in 1815. The port of Manila was opened to the commerce of the world in 1830.- With the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, direct mail service with Spain was inaugurated and railroads and telegraphs were introduced into the Islands. Attempts to throw off the Spanish yoke were made in 1822, 1841, 1842, 1872 and 1896. On June 12th, 1897, Philippine Independence was proclaimed in Cavite, and the Philippine flag was officially unfurled. Upon the outbreak of hostilities between the United States and Spain in 1898, the Insurgents offered to co-operate with the former. The offer was accepted with the result that while the Americans took and held the city of Manila, the Insurgents overthrew Spanish authority throughout the remainder of the Island of Luzon and established a government of their own with General Aguinaldo as Director. Commodore Dewey sank the Spanish squadron in Manila Bay on May 1st, 1898. The Philippine Republic was established on January 21st, 1899. The Treaty of Paris, providing for the cession of the Philippine Islands to the United States, was ratified by the Senate of the United States on February 6th, 1899. Civil government was established in the Islands on July 4th, 1901. The first Philippine Assembly was inaugurated on October 16th, 1907. The new Philippine Autonomy Act, commonly known as the Jones Law, came into force on October 16th, 1916. To-day, with the exception of the Governor-General, the Vice- Governor, and the American majority in the Supreme Court, the administration of the affairs of the country is practically in the hands of the Filipinos.
GOVERNMENT
The government of the Philippine Islands is administered through three separate and co-ordinate branches-the executive, legislative, and judicial.
The Governor-General is the chief executive of the Islands and represents the sovereign power of the United States. He is appointed by the President of the United States by and with the advice and consent of the United States Senate. Under him are the secretaries of six exccutive departments-the Department of the Interior, the Department of Public Instruction, the Department of Finance, the Department of Justice, the Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and the Department of Commerce and Communications. With the exception of the Vice-
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Governor, who is appointed in the same way as the Governor-General and is at the same time Secretary of Public Instruction, all the other secretaries are Filipinos. Under each executive department are the different bureaux of the Government.
The Philppine legislative body is composed of two Houses-the Senate and the House of Representatives. There are in all ninty-one representatives and twenty-four senators, representing the forty-eight provinces of the archipelago, all of whom are elected by popular vote with the exception of nine representatives and two senators who are appointed by the Governor-General to represent the provinces of Nueva Vizcaya, Mountain Province, Agusan, Bukidnon, Cotabato, Davao, Lanao, Sulu and Zamboanga. The number of votes cast in the General Election of 1919 was 672,122.
An extra-legal body, the Council of State, created by virtue of an executive order of the Governor-General, forms the binding link between the executive and the legislative branches of the insular Government, and represents the people's counsel in the administration of the government. The Council of State is composed of the Governor-General, as president, the Presidents of both Houses of the Legislature, and the Secretaries of the Departments.
The provincial and nunicipal governments are under the direct supervision of the Department of the Interior through the Executive Bureau and the Bureau of Non- Christian Tribes, the former exercising authority over the thirty-six regularly organ- ized provinces and the latter over the twelve so-called special provinces. The chief executive in each province is a provincial Governor. With him two other members form the provincial Board, which constitutes the legislative branch of the provincial government. All the three offices are filled by popular vote, while in the special provinces, with the exception of Batanes, Mindoro and Palawan, the provincial governors are appointed officials. The municipal president is the chief executive in each town or municipality, and the local legislative branch is a municipal council of from eight to eighteen councillors, depending upon the size of the municipality. The president, the vice-president, and the councillors are all elected by popular vote.
The Philippine judiciary system consists of the Supreme Court, as the highest tribunal; a Court of First Instance for each judicial district, except the ninth district, which has four judges, the same covering the city of Manila; the Municipal Courts of Manila and Baguio; and a Justice of the Peace court for each municipality. The Supreme Court is composed of one chief justice and eight associate justices, all of whom are appointed by the President of United States with the consent of the United States Senate. The Supreme Court has appellate jurisdiction over the Courts of First Instance. An appeal lies from the decision of the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands to the Supreme Court of the United States in certain cases.
History credits the ancient Filipinos with a culture of their own long before the coming of the Spaniards. They were engaged in various industries and had a considerable inter-island and mainland trade. Their religion verged on the animistis; they had a vague belief in a supreme deity; and they believed in many superstitions. Printed books and literature were not used, but they knew how to read and write, inventing a peculiar phonetie alphabet. They used bamboo stems and banana leaves for paper and sharp-pointed sticks for pencils. The Moros inhabiting Mindanao knew, also, how to read and write. Mohammedanism, their religion, encouraged education and invited learning.
After the Spanish conquest, intermarriages took place between the native Filipinos and the foreigners, mostly with the Spaniards and the Chinese. case, however, has the native Malayan stock disappeared because of the introduction of these foreign elements in the race, as has happened among the aborigines of South America. The Spanish system of colonization followed in the countries of South America was much the sanie as that introduced into the Philippines; so that in culture, religion, and social customs much the same traits may be found to-day among the Filipinos and the people of the different countries of South America.
As a whole the Filipino people--particularly the Christians, who constitute an overwhelming majority of the entire population-is composed of a homogeneous ethnic stock. They are all alike except in their local dialects, but even in this respect a great number of the words are identical, and greater still are those similar in sound and meanings.
At the insular schools and other national institutions, such the University of the Philippines, the Philippine Normal School, the
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Philippine School of Arts and Trades, the Philippine School of Commerce, the Philippine Nautical School, the Central Luzon Agricultural School, and others, one- fails to notice, among the young men who flock from all parts of the Archipelago, any essential differences between the so-called "tribes" of the Philippines. The Filipino- students, no matter from what province they come, demonstrate the same essential characteristics, harbour the same traditions, and manifest the same national aspira- tions. The names Tagalog, Visayan, Ilocano, Bicol, etc, are mere geographical expressions.
RELIGION
The Philippines is the only Christian country in the Far East to-day. Ministers- of the Gospel accompanied the Spanish military forces. Three centuries of ceaseless and painstaking efforts on the part of these ministers converted the natives to Catholi- cism, which soon became widely spread. Many churches built in Manila and throughout the provinces are impressive structures of massive masonry, and some of them are famous for their architecture and interior decorations.
In the year 1901 an Independent Filipino Church was organized by secession from the Roman Catholic Church. The religious dogmas promulgated and followed" by this new denomination are practically identical with those observed by the Churchi of Rome. The mass is sung either in Latin or in the native dialects. Protestantism came to the Philippines immediately after American occupation. The Protestants- established missions and spread thair doctrine throughout the Archipelago. The inhabitants of Mindanao, the Moros, are, as their names signify, Mohammedans. A very limited number of them have been converted to Christianity. Among the pagan inhabitants of the mountains, such as the Ifugaos, the Igorots and the Bontocs, may be found very primitive religious ideas.
EDUCATION AND LITERACY
Public education in the Philippines is free, secular and co-educational, and the principal aim is the spread of literacy on the basis of a common language-at present,- the English. The Bureau of Education maintains a complete system of public educa- tion. Public elementary and high schools are distributed throughout the Islands. Six insular schools for special education are also maintained in Manila. The enrolment of students in the public schools is increasing every year, being at present 923,062. With the object of extending elementary education to all children of school age, the Philippine Legislature made available within five years the sum of P30,000,000 in addition to the regular annual appropriations for the Bureau of Education. Private schools, patterned after the public schools, besides the old Spanish schools and colleges which still survive, have sprung up in the Philippines in recent years. Practically all these offer instruction in English, and even the old Spanish schools and colleges have included English in their curricula. Upon graduating from the high schools, the students are admitted to higher institutions of learning, foremost among which is the University of the Philippines, established and maintained by the Philippine Government.
Sixty-six per cent, of the people of the Islands, ten years of age or over, can read and write. The census taken in 1903 showed that only twenty and two-tenths per cent, of the people could read and write. There is an increase, therefore, of forty-five and eight-tenths per cent. in the literacy of the people from 1903 to 1918, showing the remarkable progress attained by the modern educational system.
LANGUAGES
English and Spanish are both used as official languages and are widely spoken in the Islands. The Spanish language was first introduced when the Spaniards took possession of the Islands. The English language is becoming the dominant language in the Philippines, being now spoken by a rapidly increasing portion of the popula tion. This is especially true of the younger generation, as English is taught in all the public schools. English is also becoming the commercial language in the Islands, and is bound to be the common language of the Filipinos in the future, the adoption of any of the native dialects, or of a new native Philippine tongue founded on these existing dialects, for the national language of the people being considered almost wholly impracticable. There are six established native dialects with some printed literature, namely, the Tagalog, Visayan, Ilocano, Bicol, Pangasinan and Pampangan.. Newspapers are published in English and Spanish, although in many places period- icals may be found written in the principal native dialects.
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
AGRICULTURE
The Philippine Islands is an agricultural country. The people depend chiefly on domestic agricultural products for their livelihood, and approximately ninty per cent. of the total exports of the Islands is made up of the produce of the farms. The soil is fertile to a degree, being for the most part volcanic in origin and exceedingly rich in all varieties of sedimentary deposits. The total area of cultivated lands in the Philip- pines at the present time is estimated at 3,005,322 hectares, or 10.14 per cent. of the entire area of the country.
Rice is the staple food-product of the inhabitants of the Islands. It is their most widely cultivated crop. The area devoted to its cultivation in 1919 was 1,381,339 hec- tares, as compared with 1,368,140 for 1918. The production in 1918 and 1919 shows a great increase over the pre-war output, and correspondingly imports have diminished. In spite of this, considerable quantities of this cereal are still imported, chiefly from French Indo-China.
Through the efforts of the Bureau of Agriculture local farmers are realizing the advantages of scientific methods in rice farming, Seed selection is given due emphasis. At present the use of tractors and other modern implements is being experimented with and the result is a notable success. Several irrigation systems are now completed, many more are in process of construction, and others are being projected. This is bound in the near future to do away with the ravages of droughts, which are of periodical occurrence, and at the same time make feasible the growing of two or three crops a year in the rice sections of the archipelago. The extension of cultivated areas is also receiving due attention from the Government and the local farmers.
Manila hemp, which the Philippines supplies to the world as first-class cordage material, is produced from the leaf stalks of a plant thriving in the Islands. The fibre is also used for making binder twine, and from the old disintegrated Manila ropes is made the well-known and much-used Manila paper. In the Philippines, hemp is extensively used in the manufacture of cloth. In the making of baskets, slippers, mats and other articles, the fibre has been tried with excellent results. Within the last few years a very important use for the fibre has been found in the manufacture of hats. In 1919, 515,563 hectares of land were planted to hemp, the total production therefrom being 161,731,649 kilos. Of this quantity, 121,247,668 kilos, valued at P53,703,052, were exported.
Coconut palms are grown extensively in the Philippine Islands. Originally appreciated for its raw food value and later as a material for soap manufacture, the coconut assumed more importance when it began to be used in the manufacture of vegetable butter and other kindred edible products from the oil and dried nut, usually referred to as copra. Coconut oil is also used as an ingredient in the manufacture of many toilet articles, such as creams and poniades.
Tobacco can be grown in practically all sections of the Philippines. The best and choicest class is raised in the provinces of Cagayan and Isabela in northern Luzon. Of all Philippine crops, tobacco demands the greatest care in its planting, cultivation, curing and classification. This same care under strict Government supervision is also exercised in the factories which turn out the well-known Manila cigars. In 1919, 74,019 hectares were under cultivation and 57,720,413 kilos of leaf tobacco were produced.
Sugar-cane thrives well, principally in the island of Negros. The most note- worthy feature or sugar-cane growing and sugar manufacturing is the increase in the number of sugar centrals during recent years. The area now devoted to the cultivation of sugar-cane is approximately 205,511 hectares. The extension of the cultivated area and the introduction of tractors and other farm machinery have largely brought about the increase in production. In 1919, 411,272,659 kilos of sugar, valued at P73,190,054, were produced in the Islands.
Among the other crops with great agricultural possibilities are maguey, sisal, corn, coffee, rubber, kapok, cacao, cassava, peanut, vegetables and fruits. Cattle-raising as an agricultural pursuit is also very promising.
Mining in the Philippines is still in its infant stage of development. However, in placer-mining the rich Paracale district and northern Mindanao have passed the experimental stage. Nueva Ecija and Mindoro are proving decidedly fertile as the result of mining tests carried on there. Quartz mining has been shown to be successful in Benguet and Masbate, where modern mills have been installed and are now operating.
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Among the great mining possibilities which loom promisingly mention may be made of the extensive copper properties of Lepanto, of the iron deposits of Bulacan, of the oil-fields of Tayabas, and of the coal mines of Batan, Cebu and Polillo.
Timber forests are found in all the principal islands of the archipelago, covering an area of 60,000 square miles. One-third of this constitutes the virgin forests of the Islands and the rest is made up of scattering, cut-over and second-growth forests which will yield large quantities of fire-wood and some small-sized timbers. These forests contain many of the best hardwoods, cabinet, dye-woods, and a large bulk of red lauans, which are used as substitute for maliogany and also sold as such.
The Government owns more than ninty-nine per cent. of all the standing timber in the Philippines. The public forests are not sold, but are developed under a license system. To-day, there are forty-eight steam saw-mills, which are equipped with modern machinery fit to meet the big lumber enterprise of the Islands. The timber output of the Islands in 1919 was 495,228 cubic metres.
FISHERIES
Fishing is a promising industry in the Philippines. The waters along the coasts of the islands teem with common varieties of food fishes. Among those found in commercial quantites are anchovies, herrings, silversides, mackerels, snappers, pompanos, sea-basses, mullets, milkfishes, sardines, lapolapos, barracudas, porgies, grunts, parrot-fishes, and soldier fishes. The local market, however, is under-supplied as only inshore fishing is carried on because modern equipment adapted to deep-water fishing is not used. Pens or "corrals," seines, large scoop nets, dip nets, circular casting nets, hooks and lines, and basket-like traps are among the local devices commonly employed in catching fish. Other sea-products found in Philippine waters- are oysters, sponges, trepang, pearls and pearl shells, top shells and window shells.
MANUFACTURE AND INDUSTRIES
The Philippines is a prospective industrial field. The country has available raw materials such as Manila hemp, copra, lumber, shells, lumbang and castor seeds, clay, limestone, bamboo, buutal, dye-woods and cassava for the different lines of manufac- tures and industries. Manila and a few other cities are centres of these industrial activities. However, some of the big establishments such as sugar centrals, rice and lumber mills are found in localities nearest the sources of materials.
The production of coconut oil constitutes one of the principal local industries. The first modern coconut oil mill was built in 1906. The recent world-war gave an impetus to the industry, thereby placing coconut oil at the top of the list of Philippine exports for 1919. The first sugar central in the Philippines was established in 1910. Many other centrals and improved machinery were then installed in almost all the leading sugar sections of the Islands. Consequently, after 1910 a considerable increase in the sugar exports of the Islands was noted. Early in 1920 more than thirty sugar centrals with a total daily output of over 20,000 tons of centrifugal sugar were in actual operation. Manila cigars, ranking with the best and choicest cigars in the world to-day, together with cigarettes are the output of Philippine cigar factories. The rope and hemp-braid factories are yearly turning out finished products to the value of millions of pesos. Within recent years, rice milling has become a principal local industry. To-day there are more then 460 rice mills, with a maximum daily capacity of 50,000 cavanes, distributed throughout the archipelago.
Among the local household industries, mention may be made of weaving, embroi- dery and hat-making. The output of the simple native looms, which are found in practically every household in the provinces where weaving is done, increased as the industry found an ever-widening local market. The most important of these native cloths manufactured are the "sinamay" and the "abatex," both of which are made mostly from the abaca fibre, the "piña" made from the pineapple fibre, the "jusi made from imported gummed spun silk fibres in threads mixed with mercerized cotton or the native abaca, piña and maguey fibres, and the "Abel Iloco" or Ilocano cloth manufactured in the Iloco provinces from both native and imported cotton threads. Philippine hand-made embroideries are of cotton and linen; no silk is used. The materials chiefly used in the making of Philippine embroideries are nainsooks, batiste, voile, georgette, crepe de chine and net-cotton. These materials are imported from
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
the United States. The principal articles of embroideries made are lingerie, children's clothes, handkerchiefs, table cloths and underwear of various classes, which are for the most part prepared according to orders received from the United States. The work done is of a very good grade and brings good prices. The total value of embroi- deries exported in 1920 was P15,623,567, the greatest bulk thercof being sent to the United States. On account of the abundance of suitable local materials for hat- making and the excellent prices offered for Philippine hats, the manufacture of hats is a profitable industry. Philippine hats are made from native materials such as bamboo, buntal, buri, sabutan and pandan. In 1920, hats to the value of P1,539,596 were exported, chiefly to the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy and France.
The minor industries of the Islands include shipbuilding, foundries and machine shops, the making of shoes, soap, matches, salt and pots, besides the aerated water and mineral water factories. Among the potential industries are the cement, leather, button, glass, perfume, starch, caustic soda and coir mat industries.
TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNICATIONS
The bulk of overseas shipments are made from the port of Manila, although other smaller ports also have direct connections with foreign ports. The most important of these arc Cebu, Iloilo and Zamboanga. These and the other smaller ports now open to foreign trade are growing in importance. They possess good harbour facilities, are well protected from storms, and vessels drawing thirty feet or more can load and unload alongsids their wharves with perfect safety. During 1919, 740 foreign vessels with an aggregate net tonnage of 1,711,981 tons entered the Islands, while 719 vessels with an aggregate net tonnage of 1,705,869 were cleared for foreign ports. This is an increase over the previous year of 148 vessels, or 460,331 tons, in total entrances and clearances. Fifty inter island vessels are now operated in the coastwise trade of the Philippines.
Manila, the capital and chief port of the Islands, is on the largest and finest bay in the Orient. The harbour at the entrance of this bay is landlocked. The anchorage space for steamers is protected by a semicircular breakwater within which is a basin large enough to accommodate all vessels of the size of the "Empress" liners. To-day three piers project into the harbour, one is nearing completion, and still another is being projected. Regular steamship lines are maintained between Manila and Hongkong, Amoy, San Francisco, Seattle, Vancouver and Cadiz.
There are at present 1,225 kilometres of railroad car-lines in the Philippines. They are owned by two companies-the Manila Railroad Company, which is owned by the Government; and the Philippine Railway Company, which will soon be purchased by the Government. About one hundred kilometres of railroad are under construction. In Manila and in the province of Rizal, electric car service is main- tained by the Manila Electric Railroad and Light Company, the total extent of its lines being 94.66 kilometres.
Next in importance to railways in the domestic transportation of the Islands are motor vehicles. Many private individuals and companies authorized by the Public Utility Commission are engaged in land transportation both for passengers and freight.
The construction of good roads open to all kinds of traffic in different parts of the Islands has been properly attended to by the Philippine Government during the past twenty years. Throughout nearly the last decade, the Philippine Government has spent on an average P5,000,000 a year for the construction of roads and bridges. In 1919, nearly P13,000,000 was appropriated for this purpose. The total extension of first-class, second class, and third-class roads in the Islands increased from nearly 6,000 kilometres in 1910 to nearly 10,000 kilometres in 1919. The mileage of roads rated as first-class is 2,920 miles.
There are at present two cable lines and one radio communication service in operation between the Philippines and foreign countries. The increased need for better and more extensive facilities for internal communication has been met by the rapid extension of telegraph and cable lines, telephone system, and mail service.
Experiments have been made recently with aviation as a factor in the mail and passenger service, both domestic and foreign.

On December 31st, 1919, foreign corporations of different nationalities doing business in the Philippines numbered three hundred and seven in all. These corporations have either opened branches in the Islands or were organized in foreign countries with the intention of making the Islands the place of their commercial activities. They are distributed among the different countries as follows:-United States, 110; Great Britain, 78; Germany, 26; Hongkong, 25; Japan, 12; Australia, 11; Netherlands, 8; Switzerland, 8; Spain 7; France, 7; Canada, 5; Belgium, 3; Straits Settlements, 3; Italy, 2; Austria, 1; India 1.
A large part of the domestic commerce of the Philippine Islands is in the hands of foreigners. The last few years, however, have witnessed a broader activity on the part of the Filipinos.
The principal local trade-centres are Manila, Cebu, Iloilo, Zamboanga, Jolo, Balabac, Aparri and Legaspi.
BANKING AND COINAGE
With the exception of the Philippine National Bank, which is a Filipino institu- tion, with branches in Shanghai, New York and almost all the big cities in the Philippines, most of the banks in the Philippines are British, Japanese, and American. The British have invested P106,065,500 in banking operations; the Japanese, P99,700,000; and the Americans, P38,000,000. There are nine banking corporations doing business in the Philippines. Other concerns such as express companies, trust companies, and savings banks are also available.
The coins used in the Philippine Islands are of the following denominations: peso, one-half peso (50 centavos), peseta (20 centavos), media peseta (10 centavos), five centavos, and one centavo. The paper money is issued in one, two, five, ten, twenty, fifty, one-hundred, two-hundred, and five-hundred peso denominations. The Philippine peso is equivalent to fifty cents in United States currency. The Philippine Commission maintained this parity by passing the Gold Standard Act on October 10th, 1903. The new peso now coined contains twenty grammes of silver, 800
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
fine; the fifty centavo piece contains ten grammes of silver, 750 fine; twenty-centavo piece, four grammes of silver, 750 fine; and the ten-centavo piece, two grammes of silver, 750 fine. The Philippine currency was forme ly coined in the United States, but recently The Mint of the Philippine Islands, located in Manila, was created for this
purpose.

Manila, the capital and the largest city of the Philippines, is situated on the western side of the island of Luzon, at the mouth of the Pasig River, which practically divides it into two parts and empties into Manila Bay. The city is almost in the centre of the archipelago. It is distant two days by sea from Hongkong, four days from Nagasaki, five from Shanghai, and seventeen to twenty-eight days from San Francisco or Seattle, according to the varying speed of the different vessels on the run.
The city of Manila was founded by Legaspi on June 3rd, 1571. The erection of the fortifications around the present Walled City (Intramuros) was begun about 1590. In 1645, 1863 and 1880 the city suffered considerable dainage from earthquakes. The first newspaper was published in Manila in 1811. The port was opened to the commerce of the world in 1830, and the railroad line to Dagupan was completed in 1891. War having been declared between the United States and Spain, the fleet of the former on May 1st, 1898, sailed into Manila Bay and totally destroyed the Spanish fleet, practically with no loss to the attacking side. Thereafter Manila was blockaded until August 13th, when, a military force having arrived, the Americans took possession of the city.
Manila is the leading centre of foreign and domestic commerce as well as the principal port of the Islands. The bulk of the imports and the exports of the country passes through this port. Foreign corporations engaged in business in the Islands have their main offices and storehouses in Manila, whence branches are established in other local trade centres.
The harbour of Manila is almost landlocked, and the deep anchorage basin thereof is protected by a semi-circular stone breakwater. Three piers with modern cargo- handling equipment project into the harbour. The first is reserved for the use of the United States Army. The second, 600 feet long, is capable of stowing about 5,000 tons net. The third, which is 650 feet in length, has a stowing capacity of about 9,000 tons. The fourth pier, with about four times the cargo capacity of the third and a berthing capacity sufficient to accommodate four of the largest type of ships at one time, is nearing completion. The construction in the near future of another pier similar to the fourth and of a trans-shipping wharf adjacent to the breakwater has been included in the port improvement plan of Manila.
The mouth of the Pasig River is used as anchorage space for steamers and sailing vessels engaged in inter-island commerce. Here can be seen launches moving in and out, tugging cascos loaded with cargoes from steamers in the bay or from the warehouses on the banks of the river. The esteros or estuaries provide additional transportation channels to different parts of the city.
Manila is the main terminal of the Manila Railroad Company, with lines from northern to southern parts of Luzon. Several provincial roads enter the city, thereby making motor vehicle transportation feasible. Electric tramways run in the principal streets of the city and its suburbs.

There are 20,253 people to the square mile.
The area of the city of Manila is 13.72 square miles. For all administrative and other municipal purposes the city has been divided into the following fourteen districts:- Tondo, San Nicolas, Binondo, Santa Cruz Quiapo, San Miguel, Sampaloc Intramuros (Walled City), The Port, Ermita, Malate, Paco, Pandacan, and Santa Ana. Tondo is inhabited by natives of the working class and is the most thoroughly Oriental. San Nicolas, Binondo, and Santa Cruz are the business districts; Intramuros, the extant example of a medieval town; while The Port with its piers, warehouses and other shipping facilities is the commercial Manila of the future. San Miguel, Ermita, and Malate are the residential districts
The total length of the streets and roads in Manila is 232,217 kilometres. Some of these are wide and handsoine avenucs, of which the Luneta, Taft Avenue, Rizal Avenue, P. Burgos, Azcarraga, Isaac Peral, A. Bonifacio Drive, Katigbac Drive, and the Cavite Boulevard are the most notable. The width of the streets varies from ten to fifteen metres, while that of Cavite Boulevard is seventy-five metres. Fir trees, cassia, acacia, and walnut trees are found along the borders of many of the streets. The paving is mostly macadam with some asphalt, some wooden blocks and some cobbles. The Escolta in Binondo is the main business street, and in it most of the American and European stores and bazaars are found. The Rosario. another broad thoroughfare in Binondo, is occupied chiefly by Chinese shops and is a busy quarter. Rizal Avenue is a growing business centre.
Among the parks, whose total area is 1,143,727.09 square metres, are the famous Luneta, Mehan Gardens, Plaza McKinley, Harrison Park, and Burnham Green. There are monuments to Dr. José Rizal, the foremost Filipino hero and martyr, on the Luneta; to Legaspi and Urdaneta, the soldier and the priest, respectively, wh implanted Spanish sovereignty in the Islands, facing the north end of the Luneta; to Magallanes (Magellan), the discoverer of the Islands, in Magallanes Landing; and to Anda at the foot of A. Bonifacio Drive, Charles IV in Plaza McKinley, Benavides in Plaza Santo Tomas, and Queen Isabela II in Malate.
Foremost among the hotels, and ranking as one of the best in the Far East, is the Manila Hotel. Other hotels of importance are the Luneta Hotel, St. Anthony Hotel, Delmonico Hotel, Hotel de France, Oriente Hotel, La Palma de Mallorca Hotel, and Mignon Hotel. Of the important buildings, mention may be made of the Ayuntamiento, the Malacañang Palace, the University of the Philippines, the Normal School, the Philippine School of Arts and Trades, the Bureau of Science, the Philippine General Hospital, the Army and Navy Club, the Y.M.C.A., the Masonic Temple, and "El Hogar Filipino" Building. The total number of buildings in Manila is 9,963.
On account of t'eir architecture and interior decorations, the churches in Manila are among the chief objects of interest. The largest is the Catholic Cathedral in Intramuros. The city has also charitable institutions, prominent among which are the Hospicio de San José, an orphan asylum and home for aged women; the School for the Deaf and Blind; the San Lazaro Hospital for the insane and those suffering from contagious diseases; and the sanatoria of the Anti-tubercolusis Society.
Manila is the educational centre of the archipelago. The city has many schools, both public and private, and their number is increasing. Several private colleges have sprung up in Manila within the last few years. Six schools for vocational education are inaintained here by the Insular Government.

Another high institution of learning is the University of Santo Tomas, managed and maintained by the Dominican Fathers. In this there are Schools of Theology and Church Law, Jurisprudence, Notarial Law, Medicine and Pharmacy.
The city and its suburbs receive their drinking water by pipes leading from the reservoir at Montalban, about fifteen miles north-east of Manila. The water is laid on to almost every house, both domestic and business. In addition, there are fifteen artesian wells which furnish water free to the public. The sewerage system is known as the separate system--one for storm drains and the other for sanitary sewers. There are twelve public markets, two flower markets, and two slaughter-houses. The leading hospitals are the Philippine General Hospital, San Juan de Dios Hospital, St. Paul's
Hospital, San Lazaro Hospital, Mary Chiles Hospital, and St. Luke's Hospital. There are fourteen playgrounds provided with apparatus and put under the charge of a playground director and staff of assistants. For fire prevention, the city has eight fire-stations and eighteen fire-engines.
Manila is also the principal industrial centre of the archipelago. In the city are found coconut-oil mills, cigar and cigarette factories, rope. manufacturing firms, hemp braid hat factories, breweries and distilleries, furniture factories, lumber mills, marine railway and repair shops, foundries and machine shops, vulcanizing plants, shoe and soap making establishments, and ice plants.
The telephone system extends throughout the city and its suburbs. Electric light has been placed in public parks, streets, hotels, theatres, and other buildings.
