A FEW COMPARISONS.

The figures which were given in Satur-
days Journal showing that the total loss
by disease and battle for an average army
of 10000 men in the Philippines for fourteen
months was 725 will astonish many readers
who have read the reports of the Aguinaldo
and yellow newspapers setting forth the
havoc which disease and battle, neglect and
incompetency have brought upon cur troops.
The remarkably small loss by disease as
we'll as battle, was commented on. BY
contrast these losses appear insignificant
when compared with those of some of the
Indiana regiments in the war for the Union.
The Sixth Indiana 0hree years. lost 125 by
battle, 142 by disease out of a total enroll
ment of 1901. Its killed and wounded were

and 222 by disease out of an enrolment
of 1.766. The Fourteenth Indiana lost 80
by battle and p by disease out of an en-
rollment of 1.134. That regiment went into
the battle of Antietam with $50 men; IL
came out with 139, thirty-one being killed
and $50 wounded. Its killed and wounded
in three years were 592. which means that
more than half the men enrolled in the reg
iment were either killed or wounded. The
Nineteenth Indiana lost 1879 men by battle
out of an enrolment Of 12i6. while its total
OF killed and wounded was 712 This would
indicate that seven men out of every twelve
enlisted were either killed in battle or bore
its scars. 1t went into one battle with 423
men and came out with 164. forty-seven be-
ing killed. los wounded and forty-four miss

and-fortieth Indiana lost ia men by disease
in one years service. while the average loss
OF the sixteen one-year regiments was about
fifty men to a regiment. That is, sixteen
one-year regiments, with less than 5000 men,
lost 500 men by death, OF whom less than a
score were killed IN battle. That means
that less than 1900 troops lost twice as
many men by disease in one year as the
3c.0c0 men in Luzon, exposed TO a tropical
climate and arduous campaigning.
Pages of statistics like the foregoing could
be given, but these from Indiana regiments
are sufficient to lay bare the misinformation
and dishonesty of correspondents who are
telling the country that they have not been
permitted to tell the true story of the losses
and suffering OF General Otis's army. These
figures are not given for the purpose of be-
iitting the services of the men in the Phil
ippines. Those troops are as brave men
as ever carried muskets anywhere in the
world and the light mortality among them
is due TO improved sanitation and hospital
equipment, and to the fact that every pos
sible facility that would minister to their
health and comfort has been provided by
the War Department.

The American people have to stand a good

Americans. There has been no ostracism Of
Jewish cadets at West Point except by a
few foolish youngsters who do not repre-

whole story is greatly exaggerated. No
country in the world is freer from anti

The secretary of war. with the approval
of the President, has issued a general order
regulating the transmission Of dispatches
over military telegraph lines during active
military operations. 1t is the first order
that has ever been issued by. the govern
ment relative to the censorship of dis
patches and gives evidence Of having been
carefully prepared. While protecting public
interests and giving precedence to military

justice to the press. Censorship of the

that 1T should be done systematically than

Time and again the New York Journal, in
speaking of ex-Secretary Whitney, of Mr..

that he is 1.-The man who is chiefly respon-

one would wish to deprive Mr.. Whitney OF
the credit of the good work he did as sec
retary of the navy. For the frs time after

i'm the House which was elected with Gen.
Garfield in 1880. That House made the first
appropriation and the Senate. being Re

given Secretary Chandler, of the Arthur
ships upon plans made by the naval board.

at low price and the work was begun.

ney, the secretary, did not accept the ship
for a long time. Mr.. Roach became in
volved before the cruisers were completed.
but the excellent cruisers Atlanta, Boston
and Chicago were we'll under way when Mr..
Whitney became secretary of the navy. The
government completed them after the fail
ure of Roach. Secretary Whitney began
several other ships which were not fully
completed until he went out of office. The
point is that the start was made by a Re-
