ARMY IN The PHILIPPINES TO
BE GREATLY INCREASED.

WASHINGTON, D, @, July 1.-The
plan of the war department now is to
give O-Is a fighting force Of 80, 900
troops. This force will be exclusive Of
troops needed to garrison towns and
police cities. 1t will also be exclusive
Of men in hospitals and men uGf5 for
active service. Secretary Alger ex-
planned to the reporter that OTIS is to
have 80, OCO men able to take the field
at any time. To give him that mum.
Der Of men for field service it will be
necessary to provide 8 large number of
soldiers ter police duty in cities. 1t is
necessary to keep at all times a regi
ment of troops on duty in the city Ct
Manila. Several companies are also
assigned for protection of citizens Of
IloilO.
1t may be that other cities will need
g~arrisors, and at the present time it
is impossible to state how many vol.
unteers will be needed to increase the
army ia the Philippines so as to leave
Otis a full fighting force Of 80. 900 men.
Enlistment of volunteers is to enable
Otis to have a reserve force on hand to
replace at any time any regiment in the
fighting force that may, by reason of
hard campaigning, be exhausted and in
need of rest.
"Brie dy, " said Secretary AIger, Osis
is to have at all times at his disposal a
fighting force of 80 600 men to take
the field at any time, independent of
whatever other organizations may be
on hand for police duty. To give him
this force recruiting WILL go on until
it ia ordered to cef 50, and is canpot be
said just now where the limit will be,
whether it will be 40, 900 in the aggre,
gate DR. more"
The administration does not admit
that the decision to increase Otis army
above 80, 600 men is a s gn that the in
surgent movement is proving too for
midable to be put down with the force
called for by the military commander
in the Philippines. The action decided
on is unoh cially explained as the re-
suit Of a deter mination to bring an end
to the war in the shortest time.

AND CRIME.

The relation Of the cigarette to crime
vas the subject OF some startling sta
tistics presented before the National
Conference Of Charities and Oorrec-
tione at Cincinnati. O! The bays in the
Illinois State R 3formatory between the
ages Of ten and fifteen, ninety two per
cent. were confirmed cigarette smok
ers, ard eighty five per cent. go ad.
dicted to the habit, to the habit, at the
time of their conviction, as to be
termed '~'cigarette 1ends" by the C urt,
says The Youths Companion.
The superintendent who compiled
these figures ASSERTS that the cigarette
works tenfold more injury to the boy
under fifteen than do into xicatiDg
liquors, and more than any other
factor starts him on the road to crimi-
nal life.
While it is true that not every cigar.
cite fend becomes a criminal. the fact
remains that the habit is acquired
through evil associations; it involves
demoralizing deception on the part Of
the boy at home; and by embedding
health and will makes the lad an easy
prey to t. temptation.
Professor DeMotte, Of Bryn Mawr,
visiting a tobacco house IN Brazil,
noticed a black fluid trickling slowly
into the vat of tobacco about to be
made into cigarettes. Upon asking
what it was he was told, Rum, molas
ses and opium; to give spice to the
cigarette" These are specific facts,
which admit of no controversy. De.
duction thereupon a be easily made
by every reader.

A GREAT MAN GREAT WORK

The following endorsement from the
pen Of Mel. Chas. f.. SMITH, we'll
known to thousands under the pen
name OF BIN Arp" is one Of many
similar endorsements Of The Lives OF
D s.inguished North Carolioians"
which the publishers have received.
Writing 60 Mr.. W. J. Peele, Maj
Smith speaks of this valuable work as
follows:
For many days I have been much
engaged but found time at intervals to
read and ponder your admirable book.
The introduction is the most impress
i've recital and the most profound
argument in defense of the South l
have ever read. Would that it were
10 pamphlet form and placed in every
cultured family il the land. Maybe it
might yet save us. May be. The
astounding facts recited by you alarm
ed me as I read and made me sad to
think what our fathers were and what
we are now, and whittier We are drift
ing. lam old enough TO view the con-
trass and when I do it shocks me-. But
the ~degeneracy and corruption creeps
along go silently and is so insidious in
it's advances that we have either to be
reconciled to it or be miserable. Hence
it is that our best people shut their
eyes and stop their BARS and submit to
what they cannot help.
Nathaniel Macon was my fathers
ideal of a great and unselfsh states
man, and he often quoted and spoke OF
him to me. Indeed he placed him
above Webster or Calhoun and far
above Clay, though he made less noise
in the political world.
My dear cir thank you for having
so valuable a book sent to me-"
