in the United States. This person
ought to haYe known, and doubtless
did know, that no such liberty TO
abuse the head of the state is allowed
in Germany as there is in this
country. A resident or visitor in n
country must obey that country's
laws and regulations or take the
consequences. The German-Amer-

SOLDIER SOLVES TIE PROBLEM

Letters written by the volunteer
soldiers, fighting in the Philippines,
to their friends at home do not give
any support to the Atkinson and
copperheads who are opposing the
governments occupancy of its terri
tory, says the Walla Walla Union.
The boys who have thus far sustained
their government oppose its relin-
quishment. One Oregon volunteer
writes thus: "This is fine country.
We want to keep the Philippines.
The volunteers here have been in
Vlted home, but the boys do not
want to go. All the boys are will
ing to remain until the war is over.

us each 160 acres of land and guar
antee us the title, one-half of Com

islands. We will defend the islands
against invasion, becalse they are
the most valuable part of any country
that the United States ever obtained
possession Of"
Other letters of the same import
have come from the volunteers at
Manila. In the letter of the Oregon
boy, he gives a solution of the prob
