Period Allowed for RatifyfnE the Ar

The fact that the period of time allowed
for the ratification of the Argentine reci-
proctty treaty expires tomorrow will not In
itself have any effect upon the fate of that
convention. 1t was realized some time ago
that even with fair sailing the treaty could
not be brought through within the allotted
time, and the State Department arranged
to meet the difficulty by having the Senate
in the event that It should approve of the
treaty. amend the clause providing for the
exchange of Publications by changing the
date to some time in the spring. This
amendment would necessitate the further
action of the Argentine congress in concur
renee, but little difficulty is expected to be
encountered in securing that, and the delay
that would be occasioned by the change is
the only serious consideration

Impugning Soldieys' Conduct.
From tina PHILADELPHIA Public Ledger

There are more reports that the American
soldiers in the Philippines have 'desecrated'
churches at various places by using them as
barracks, club rooms or theaters for anna
teur performances. These charges were
answered long ago by showing that the
churches in question were desecrated by
the natives themselves, who took this meth
Cd OF showing their luminosity to the friars
as soon as they dared do so. The men who
make these allegations should be careful
to ascertain the whole truth of the matters
about which they write or speak. 1t is one
thing to criticise the administrations pol
icy in the Philippines and quite another
thing to impugn the conduct of American
soldiers in such important particulars.
