Honolulu Star Bulletin

A breezy, welcome visitor from the Orient on the Manchuria is John F. Reilly, who comes as representative of the San Francisco Chronicle and of the T. K. Legler News Service.

He has some interesting things to tell about the Orient, especially considering the war and business conditions, but no more so than the Filipinos, who are literally coining money, he declares. New factories are springing up and running full blast. The government is taking over an immense hotel, converted into government quarters. Building is booming. He visited the Philippines about seven months ago.

An old-time newspaperman who began the game in the big city—New York—and wandered West.

He says the Japanese are highly considerate of the American newspapermen and are liberal subscribers to English papers in Japan, of which The Advertiser of Tokyo is the largest and one of the most prominent.
