RECORD ON THE SIXTH

Engineer Charles Brown and engine
No. 1926 now hold the record for
speed on the Sixth district with a reg
ular train of nine cars. The distance
between Laramie and Rawlins has
been made in two hours and forty
three minutes with a train of four cars.
but the record of PAS made yesterday
with No. 5 is the lowest yet for a full
train. The engine is one of the new
passenger compounds. and the speed
it shows indicates that the new en-
gines will be all right when they settle
down to good running order.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
) THE PHILIPPINES IN WAR and In PEACE.
Luzon Method of salt Making.
nnon0n000n00000000C

eJohn It. McCutcbeon. Philippine cor
respondent of the Chicago Record,
writes as follows: II Is very difficult,
even here in Manila, TO get compre-
hensive idea of "the situation in the
Philippines" The most we know Is
that our troops are scattered over
every province In Luzon, as well as
in the chief cities Of the other islands,
and that in Luzon alone there are
PIG separate garrlsons holding cities
and villages and strategic points in
the twenty-seven provinces of the ISL
and.
The Filipino method of warfare has
changed from their old, defiant meth
ods to new and more insidious one,
that Is as much If not more TO be
feared.
Long before Tarlac was taken Ag-
uinaldo realized that his troops could
not stand against ours. Even force
numerically much stronger could be
driven at will by comparatively small
American forces. This was where dis
cipline, morale and esprit du corps
combined TO make the smaller force
vastly superior to the larger one, be-
cause the latter lacked these elements.
Soon after this discovery, which he
seems to have been long in making.
he heard that the United States was
going to increase the Philippine army
to about 65,000 force that could
annihilate him if he contested Its ad-
vance or will. He then issued. along
In October. n proclamation advising
many of his followers to return TO
their homes. hide their rifles and await
a call at some future time. Others
of his followers were held under arms
and directed to begin a guerilla war
fare In the territory held by the Amer
leans at that time, or TO be held by
them later on.
That proclamation, which was un-
doubtedly forced by the vigorous cam
paign inaugurated at the time by Cen
erals Macarthur, Lawton, Wheaton
and Young, marked the end of organ
lied resistance on large scale. 1t
will be remembered that Tarlac was
taken without n shot, and that our
troops occupied in turn all the prov
inces of the north with fewer than n
dozen fights Of any consequence. From
that time on 1t became foot race
after the demoralized bands that We're
leaving the Tarlac lowlands. There
was no established capital no machin-
cry Of government, no grand army and
half the cabinet surrendered or were
captured.

waist, but 1t is plain across the shoul-
