Washington, March 21-The wal
department officials deny recently
published statements that General

1000 men every month. According
to the official records, since the Amer

compilation. the actual mortality in
the army in the Philippines was 65

1925, or at the rate of IS deaths a
month.
More details are contained in the
report CT Colonel Woodruff, chief
surgeon of the Philippine army. His
report, however, does not extend be-
yond the end of the last calendar
year. It shows that from the time
American troops landed in Manila up

1858 men. OF this number AZ off
GERS and $40 men died of violence
and 16 officers and 693 men died Of

caused by drowning. The total rum-
Der of wounded without fatal result
during the period covered by the re-
