TTEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, (iA„ SUNDAY, DECEMBER 21. 1913. u College Girls Flock to the Newest Course ‘| ‘Dry’ Calculus Gives Way to Culinary Study THE WORLD IS WHETTED fit Daniels’ and Garrison’s Inquiry) Into Offensive Army and Navy Dinner Reveals New Element Which Irritated the President. WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—Invest!- gation by Secretaries Garrison and Daniels into the famous Carabao ban quet revealed that the point of great est irritation to President Wilson stuck out from a moving picture film. Worse than the “Damn” doggerel, more satirical than the battleship Piffle” and more daring than the Bryan lecture schedule was this pic torial caricature and the printed comments accompanying it. 'I’lie film showed the long pursuit of the United States Army of a Fili pino colonel and former desperado, his capture and his being made tie governor of a province. Concerning this moving picture, the advance notices of the banquet said: "By this film, just as in last year's ironical ‘Filipino declaration of in dependence,’ the Carabaos showed their lack of sympathy for recent de velopments and tendencies in Philip pine government.” Double Barb to Sting. The double barb of this sting to the Administration’s feelings is that while the picture might be laughed at the comment is a direct attack on the Wilson-Rryan Philippine policy. It stands, too, as an example of cut ting derision of that policy by the very officers of the army and navy who have taken part in the fighting work of the Filipino problem. Dr. Joseph M, Heller, secretary of the Washington “corral” of the Car abao, made haste to assume respon sibility for the issuance of the ad vance matter to the press concerning the banquet. It was the publicity of t«he thing that was also offensive to the President. Dr. Heller declared, too. that the advance matter “‘was prepared hur riedly” and that the sentence re* ferred to “would have been elimi nated on careful inspection.” Three Others Apologize. Three other apologies for the ban- h&v< appeared—Major General Aleshire, U. S. A., Brigadier General Mclnfyre, U. S. M. C.. and Rear Ad miral Howard. Tn response to a de mand of the President, Secretaries Garrison and Daniels to-d^y received each a copy of the following letter: “We have been appointed by the committee in charge of the recent an nual dinner, Milita-. Order of the Carabao, a subcommittee to submit certain data requested. "The subcommittee also desires to express to you the deepest regret at the criticisms in the press of the re cent Carabao dinner. The society, composed largely of army and navy officers, is greatly distressed that anything in its entertainment should bo offensive to its invited guests. The principal song reported to have given offense was composed by soldiers on the way to the Philippines in 1809, and has been sung at Carabao din ners and similar occasions ever since. Song Not cn Program. “It was not on the program for the recent dinner, but was sung once, and when asked for a second time ners there have always been presented at the singing table. During the din ner there have always been presented entertaining features, and songs have been practically the same on all such occasions. “It has been stated in the press that the songs were known in advance. That is true, as the songbook printed this year is practically the same as songbooks heretofore printed, 29 of 25 songs being the same, and the others have not been mentioned as being In any way objectionable. “The printed statement that ‘the performance, according to advance statements given out by the Carabao ►Society, was designed to show the lack of sympathy for recent develop ments and tendencies in the Philip pine government, is so absurd that it: sterns hardly necessary to deny it. Very respectfully, “J. B. ALESHIRE, “T. B HOWARD, “FRANK MTNTYRRV Miss Eunice Gilbert, of Monticello, Fla. busily engaged in fascinating work in the domestic sci ence class of Luey Cobb College.
