LAKE Noted Traveler Tells of Visit to Philippines; Describes People, Customs these lists are well known citizens with the best interest of their home city at heart. Some have hot lived here as long as others, but in the time they have been here they have made many friends who appreciate their many ‘good qualities and civic spirit. The members of the Revinia Civic club were charmed by the recital of Dr. George B. Lake‘s interesting exâ€" periences, during his sojourn, while in the medical corps of the United States army, among the Moros. In a â€" pleasing, â€" informal â€" manner, Dr.‘ Lake described the imhabitants of the Philippine Islands, with especial refâ€" erence to the Moros, in such an atâ€" tractive way that he was besieged with questions at the close of his talk from those who were eager to learn more about these brown men whose ideas, modes of life, and civilization are so different from ours. Dr. Lake brought to the meeting many of the barbarous weapons of warfare used by the Moros, as well as some of their beautifully made domestic utensils, materials, ornaments and jewelryâ€"& collection that was as interesting a# it was novel. N*s. 6. . Of Different Race : Dr. Lake stressed the fact that the inhabitants of Luzon, the Filippinos, are of an entirely different race, culâ€" ture and civilization from those of Mindanao, the Moros. The latter are barbarians but little removed from the most primitiye type of humanity. They are Mohammedans in faith, with a â€" Mohammedanism rather far removed from that of the orient, and they count it a deed. of valor to kill a ‘COhristian whenever possible. Hence only those Occidentals who are yell armed and in superior numbers dare visit the Moros. Koi Their methods of warfare are very crude, all handâ€"toâ€"hand fighting with a very sharp steel weapon which is a cross between our dagger and our sword. . The Moros have neverâ€"really been subdued by the white man, alâ€" though a few of their rebellious leadâ€" ers have been captured and placed in an American penal colony. > > _ Spanish and Chinese \ There has been an influx of Spanish and Chinese into the island, and these elements in the population form the only civilized or ‘educable part of the population. ‘The natives do not seem to be susceptible to the germ of eduâ€" cation, and their nomadi¢ life is not conducive to development.â€" Dr. Lake related a number of perâ€" sonal experiences with the Sultan of Sulu and other individuals, some of which were gruesome, some humorâ€" ous, and all of which were interesting. The members of the club felt that they had also sojourned in this fasciâ€" nating corner of the globe, not only without endangering their lives, but The Highland Park Woman‘s club will hold a card ‘party on Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 23, at two o‘clock, for the benefit of the building fund.
