Methodist Bishop of Malaysia Says We
Should Have Native Regiments.

Bishop j. NJ. Thoburn. OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church. who has been 40 years in
India and the Malay Peninsula as a missionary.
arrived here yesterday. He said OF the cam
paiRn In the Philippines:
Tho sooner our troops learn to handle the
natives as did the English in India. the sooner
the war will be over. The English made the
same mistake that we are making now. and
that is In trying to fight the Filpinos with
white men from this country. 1t took the
English several years to learn that this could
not be done in India and the conditions are
the same with us in the Philippines The
only way peace can ever be secured is by sys-
tematic training OF the natives to go against
the rebels. In the Philippines there are thou
sands OF the natives who would. If properly Of
fcsred by our men. enlist for this kind OF SER
vice.
Our men can always, OF course. defeat the
natives in open battle. but the natives fight as
the Indians did in this country. They are all
barefooted and half savage. and when our mon
drive them from in front into the Jungle they
appear in the rear OF our troops in Jifry. 1t
is extremely difficult for troops fresh from this
country to even penetrate the jungles, which
arc thoroughly familiar to the enemy, every
foot OF them. A large percentage OF the Fill
pinos have always been at war from genera
tion to generation. 1t Is only those in the
Luzon district that are really at all civilized.

needed about $50 for advertising. The in
vestment seemed so safe that the money was
furnished by Mrs. Requa, who In return was
taken into partnership by the inventor. Other
