Lincoln, Neb., Feb. Civilian j.
Bryan expressed no surprise over the
ratification of the peace treaty and
commented briefly ON the matter. When
the Associated Press correspondent ask
ed him if the ratification of the treaty
would end the fight against the annexa-
ton of the Philippines. he said:
Not by any means. While many
have thought that the fight should be
made against the treaty, / have felt
that the real fight is to be made for
a resolution declaring the national policy.
The opposition to the treaty has served
useful purpose, and the opponents of
the ratification made a gallant fight,
but there was never any chance of de-
featfng ratification. Now that the
treaty is out of the way, it can be treat
ed as a domestic question, and the line
can be drawn between those who be-
lieve in forcible annexation and those
who believe that the Filipinos should

table standing about six inches high.
The travellers spread their bedding
on the dais and sleep there. or they

their food from the six-inch- high table
that rests there. The larger portion of
the room. the space not occupied by
the dais, has a floor of beaten earth.

of chairs. or II many contain nothing.
Its purpose is to store the travellers
baggage or merchandise. On the other

creased traffic there may be added to
it additional courtyards. or corner

is able to buy or lease ground: but the
principle of the extension is the same
