AYEAR's SERVICE is ALL.
A Volunteer Officer WHO Says Troops Must
BE Changed Often.


BE Changed Often.
SAN Francisco, Aug. Am officer
of one of the volunteer regiments in the
Philippines has written the following
letter to the Associated Press:
''MANILA, June 27.-The arrival Of
the rainy season finds the insurrection
as vigorous as it has been any time since
the outbreak. The insurgent armies
are well recruited, Notwithstanding
their heavy losses and are well fed and
clothed. They have profted by their
five months of warfare against the
Americans. They are fast adopting
American tactics and are becoming
better disciplined and more slIillful in
tie us,, of their weapons every day.
One hundred thousand soldiers should
be he, ready for business at the begin
nin:. of the dry season in November.
CARR Su,,s could then be stationed at
strategic points.

arrival hero ANIL then begin to succumt
to the various ailments of tropical
weather. This is exempliiied i'll the
cases of the volunteers and those regu
lars who have been in the Philippines
since last summer. The most of then
are saturated with malaria, many have
rheumatism and all are greatly debili
tated. They are unfit for further dut,
and recuperation seems slow and unsat

likely to be had with their successors.
"The 100000 people of the Philippine
are as highly civilized as the 100000
of Mexico If the American people will
imagine the United States to have ac
quired Mexico against her will and t
be engaged in an attempt to put dow

and Rye-A Largely Diminished Acre
age Reported In Wheat.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The "Corn Belt"
publishes today condensed information
about the condition Of the growing
crops in Nebraska, Iowa, etc, 1t says
there is q largely diminished acreage in
wheat:
Nebraska Corn-One hundred and twen-
ty reports say the stand is excellent, 12S
good, IA fair. Three reports only mention
damage by grasshoppers. The scare about
the ravages of that insect is unfounded.
Winter wheat-Thirty one reports say
the quality is excellent, lit good, II poor.
1t may be safely concluded that all the
stands of winter wheat that escaped the
winter kill and have been cut show in
yield and quality of grain. Oats-Eighty-
four reports say the quality is good, 3
excellent, 10 poor. Spring wheat-Eighty-
nine reports say the quality is good, 3 ex-
cellcnt, "a poor. Rye-Sevenry-fou four re-
ports say the quality is good, excellent,
10 poor.
Iowa Corn-Seventys seven reports say
the present stand is excellent, 52 good;
poor. 1t is evident that, except locally
and in spots, the prospects of Il corn crop
in Iowa were perhaps never more flatter-
| ing in the history of the state. Winter
wheat-Two reports say the quality is ex-
cellent; good; poor. Oats-Sixty- five
reports say the quality is good; excel

reports say the quality is good; 9 excel
lent; poor. Twenty seven reports
say the quality is good; poor.
Northern Missouri Corn-Forty- re
ports say the stand is good, IL excellent,

ports say the quality is good, excel

quality excellent 80 good, none say it is
poor. Spring wheat-All reports call th'
quality fair to good. Rye-Quality and
yield both at least average.
Northern Kansas Corn-Eleven reports
from 10 counties say the present stand i
excellent. Seventeen reports say it is bet
ter than at the same time last year,
practically the same and not so good.
The present outlook is by u large major
ity declared to be excellent. Winte

Our Friendship With England. France

i Our Friendship with England, France
or Germany-A Volunteers Letter.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Senator Bur
rows Of Michigan in an interview, says:
"It is my Judgment that if the war III
the Philippines is still in progress next
year and the end is not in sight, the
situation will be to the disadvantage of
the Republican party. The only hope
for the party, and for the country, |
might add, is in a speedy change CT
conditions in the Philippines. Unless
the war in the Philippines speedily ends
it will become an important political
factor and it's continuance will make
the outlook for Republican success
doubtful.
Il believe in finding new markets for
our people. At the same time we must
not overlook the fact that we may run
counter at any moment to England,
France or Germany, and believe that
England, now apparently so friendly,
will strike at us the moment we cross
her threshold.
IF the additional troops sent to Gen
eral Otis cannot restore peace, congress:
will have tc deal with the problem, ane
ought to have by the lst of December
some definite information upon which tc
act. hope the president will continue
in his effort to end the trouble and thai
his efforts will be crowned with success
Victory for the Republican party mex
year will be made more certain by th'
Success of our arms in the Philippines.
