rank G. Carpenter is the most
widely known newspaper correspond
ent of the United States. In his remarka
ble journeys of observation he has traveled
over nearly the entire globe and interviewed
its notables from kings to peasants. His
fairness and unbiased judgment is conceded
by all. He is an Ohio man by birth , now
40 years of age. In the present trip he will
cover 25,000 miles by sea and land with
camera outfit to get the best pictures of out-
of-the-way people and spots. He thinks it
will be the trip par excellence of all his
wonderful journeys.
The Philippines are an unknown
we rid , most of them never having been
explored by civilized white man. The
island of Luzon , on which our soldiers are
fighting ; , is only a small part of the group
which contains 8,000,000 people , divided
into 83 distinct tribes and speaking some 60
different lanjniaores. The islands number
o }
in the neighborhood of 1,200 , sprinkled in
the Pacfic ocean from north to south for
more than 1,200-miles , If any one can get
into the unknown places Mr. Carpenter
en
will be able to do'so and will describe the
people , their habits and views with a pre
cision and in a style that will entertain and
instruct all.
