tidy and piracy against our former
loyal allies a cold FLOODED, cruel, po-
litical and mercenary war, under which
all the horrors of carnage and sacri-

a people From the part that l have
taken in battling against British OPP
preston in Ireland as well as from
my experiences among the people of
the southern hemisphere, / can clearly
see that this Mckinley policy and this
Mckinley war. under the canting pre-
tense Of civilization, Christianity and
benevolent assimilation, have already

an imDerishable structure of race
hatred which will make it utterly i'm
possible that American rule in the
Philippines can ever within the next
hundred wears, resi- upon the consent

young manhood Of our country in an
unnecessary uncalled for and unjust
war for the subjugation of a gallant
