Iher3 is no getting around the fact
that the administration is doing all il
can to conceal the real situation ia the
philippines. Geu. Ois' reports TO the
home government do not always tally
with the reports given out by the war
department. There is something be
hind which the administration does
not want the home people 10 know
There is lack Of esndor, a lack OF
fullness, In these war department re-.
ports which ought not TO characterize
them, and which afford grounds f,r
the suspicion that all Is not as well as
Il should be with our brave little army
battling SC msnfully Ia the Asiaties.
Better far that the truth was known
at once than for Il to be found out
when It Is too late, The patriotism OF
ths people is strong and robust, and IL
sne sxlgeneies require their services
they are ready to respond 10 the call
OF their country even II their hearts
are not in the present war. Why,
then, keep back, under mistaken and
frivolous notion, facts which the Amer
can people have the right to know.
