MANILA, Dec. 26.-More tlmn half the Americans formerly to tho employ „f the Philippine government have t een been retired nlnce July, 1913. There ar e only a few moro than 1,200 i Amrerlcaas In tho service whereas,! four years ago, juat beforq, the arrival of the new Democratic administration, there were more than 2,600. | .Meanwhile there haa been a steady j Increase naturally to Filipino employes of the government, the list showing I 1,000. . .. I Tho law which permits Americans or long service with tho government to retire with a three-year pension ! ranging from 66 per cent of a year* salary to the full amount, la largely responsible for the number of Ameri can retirements which have Increased I very largely since the law waa passed. I Tho past year has seen 400 retirements I and the prevloua wear saw almost as many more. The policy of the Harrison adminis tration In training Filipinos aa rapid ly as possible for responsible posts in tho government service has mado tho successors of these retired Americans almost entirely, FUlpIons. This fact, tegother with the lncreaaing aetttivi- ties of tho government, duo to the Increased prosperity la tho islands, Is I responsible for the big Increase of Filipinos In tho government service.
