MANILA Jan ie-We had spent a feariu
day hiking across what the boys call the desert
Of Cayite province, II is rolling upland, which
back In The dim unknown past Was all planted
w rice. But the shadow Of one war or announcer
has been over the pro7ince for so long that no"
all the rice fields are oveIgroNn with tall rank
grass that Is a. difficult 10 penetrate as the Jungle

We spent another hot, toilsome day getting
down the lake 10 Binyan. The wagons went
along the beach and met a stream twenty feet
deep that never had been bridged. So they

the right from the Mununlupa camp OF the night
before, had gone down the road ahead OF tho
wagons and Just In the edge Of Binyan they struck

Under tho shadow OF the line Of banboos that
iringed the town there was a trench. II crossed
the road and extended for perhaps a quarter Of
. mile on each side. In this trench there were
about four hundred insurgents We came along
