but he pushed his friend llolcomb.
Allen was chairman Of the resolutions

the coming campaign than has been
given II heretofore. Secctary Root has
not only asctrtaincd where the United
States troops are located aud has them
nicely marked of on the map. but he
hW also taken into consideration such
information as can be obtained relative
to the population Of the adjacent coun
try, the kidd OF people and their disposi-
ton toward the United States The
sec, -tary has been studying the lines
OF transportation aud learning what he
can Of the geography Of the country.
II is believed that more than one
-rmJ can operate to advantage In the
Philippines, and the suggestion has
been made by some army officers that
an army should start from different
points and operate In such a manner as
TO distract and destroy the Filipino
forces. Al present the United States
forces do not occupy the line OF rail
way half way to Llngayen, ON the gulf
Of the same name.
u has been suggested that II one
force were TO start from Lingayen aud
move south ut the same time that an
other were moving north, there would
be very great probability Of soon se.
curing the entire railway for the use
Of the army. aud the insurgents would
be separated into divisions east aud
west by the railroad, as they are now
divided into northern and southern
bands. Between Angeles and Lingaysn
Is Tarlac, town OF considerable size
and situated In a province where tho
natives are said not to be unfriendly to
the United States. II this province
should be occupied IL might be Of great
advantage to the government.
While these are merely suggestions.
Il may be that when the army In the
Philippines consists Of 90, 900 men, in
stead OF about "a. 900 or $4,000, II will
be possible to have four or more armies
operating instead OF two. Ne during the
last campaign.
