If this is what guerilla warfare
means, then we will need more troops
some day, for the new method of
fighting is proving more effective than
any style that the insurgents have en-
ployed previously.
Almost every day brings report of
some fresh ambuscade wherein small
forces OF our troops are attacked by
hundred or more Filipinos. Usually
one or more of our men are killed,
and the rest are driven away by sheer
force of overwhelming numbers. Then
follows punitive expedition, but
these sorties seldom find trace of the
enemy.
Invariably the insurgents know the
exacS strength of the force they are
ambushing, for they usually lie in
wait for small groups of ten or fifteen
men, which they permit to approach
so close that their first volley kills or
wounds most of them, and leaves the
rest utterly demoralized.
Insurgents who live within our
lines, who are amigos in the daytime
