I'm view Of the statement of MT. Ed
ward Atkinson that he sent his pamphlets
only TO Admiral Dewey, GENERAL GUS,
President Schurman, and three or -FOUR
others, the letter Of MIR. Atkinson, con-
tanning his application, Will be OF inter-
est. 1t is as follows:
Boston, Mass. April %, 1888.
ITO the Secretary of War: Sir.-I de-
sire TO send a large number OF the en-
closed pamphlets on The cost Of a ma
tional crime The hell Of war, and its
penalties and Criminal aggression, by
whom committedy TO the officers and
privates in the Philippine Islands.
therefore desire to know whether these
documents can be sent directly through
the War Department or may be forward
ed in due course Of mail. A list OF regi-
ments is desired, and if there are printed
lists Of officers available they would serve
me a very usefu, purpose.
EDWARD ATKINSON
EXTRACTS FROM PAMPHLETS.
mo answer was made to this letter,
except to send an official copy TO the
Postmaster General. who issued instruc-
lions TO the postmaster at San Francisco
to hold the pamphlets. The spirit and
design of the pamphlets will be indi-
Gated by a few extracts. In one or them
Mr.. Atkinson says:
81 will append one question to each
reader: How much increase OF taxation
are you willing to bear. and how many
of your neighbors' sons are you ready to
sacrifice by fever, malaria, and general
disease. in order to extend the sovereigni-
~ of the United States over the West
Indies and the Philippine Islands?'
again. after describing what he calls
The he'll of war, and its penalties. Mr..
Atkinson says: Lest others should be
entrapped into enlistment in the regular
army of volunteers service in the tropics,
II will only be fair and honest on the
part of the recruiting officers to be put in
possession Of these facts
again. Mr.. Atkinson says: The way
has already become plain for the youth
OF the land TO avoid disease in the tropics
by refusing to volunteer or enlist In the
army or navy Of the United states
"a way will be found for the volun-
teers now held against their will to get
their release from unlawful service in
anv other country than their own after
peace is declared
"NIr Atkinson not only speaks thus OF
and 10 the soldiers OF the United States,
but he encourages the Filipinos 10 insur-
rection when he says: They have the
power TO enter into international rela-
tons, and they may yet be recognized,
and rightly recognized. by other
Powers
