tion. These fellows who dub them
selves anti-expansionists, don't
know. They say givethe islands
a protectorate, but what they
mean by this they will not state,

difference whether the U. s. had
a right to buy these islands or
whether Spain had a title which
she could dispose Of. The fact re-
mains that we did buy them ami

sell the islands. This would be
contrary to all our traditions in

pie of the United States would

gotten that Porto Rico is the

healthiest OF our new island
possessions. The paragraph
is almost too plain spoken
to be quoted in a family pm
per. Suffice it to say that in
it Major Hoff speaks Of the
alarming prevalence Of pri-
vate diseases among our SOL
diers over there and says the
indications are that it will
not be long before a large
percentage of them will be as
thoroughly infected as the
native population. He also
points ont the danger OF re-
turning soldiers spreading
the contamination at their
homes, a danger that Great
Britain has found to be OF
the gravest proportions in
her experience with her trop-
ical possessions. Something
like this has been said before,
