that while male and female blossoms

This Is true when the trees are grown

trees ,ha, are iet; when land is cleared
are apt to die In few years. not being
able to adapt themselves TO the

learned to graft these trees success

craft them. the next best thing Is to
plant nuts from the best nui-bcar!ns

enough so that when they come Into

ones and leave only the best. Trees
grown from nuts vary greatly. like
Seeding fruit trees. Hiekorlcs will

Professor Worcester. one OF our
commissioners to the Philippines. con-
vincingly disposes OF the stories re-
Hccting upon the humanity OF our SOL
diers. Women and children were not
ruthlessiy slaughtered at Malabon aft
er its mbardment-becausc there
was no bombardment. The town was
abandoned before our approach. and
''there were no women and children
there to be killed" Furthermore, Pro-
fessor Worcester has personally exam
inei every battlefield from Caloocan to
Malolos-once before the wounded
were removed, and often before the
dead were buried-and women or
children, whether wounded. dead or
living. he never discovered. No pris-
oners were ever killed. whether by or
ders OF officers or otherwise; wounded
insurgents have been tenderly cared
for and removed to our hospitals. In
short, the American soldier has shown
humanity, discretion and self-control,
as his friends at home would have ex-
oected. 1t seems to us that a serious
responsibility rests upon the persons
and papers that have been SO prompt
to picture him as delighting in meth
DDS of warfare which only savages pur-
sue.
