ROBERTS ON BULLR

General Rooerts has 2illoried Butler
and Warren. 1t is supposed that the
publication Of his dispatch many
days after its receipt has been for a
purpcs Sc and the public will await de-
veloPment of that purpose with ne
little interest. That Butler deserves
criticism cannet admit of doubt. All
who have read circumstantial ac-
counts of the fighting on the Tugela
have been impressed with the utter
lack Of good leadership. Butler
marched his men into impossible
positions and frowning death traps
again and again, when, with the ex-
ercise of ordinary caution, he would
have avoided most of the mistakes
that characterized his operations.
When Butler left England he was
thought to be a great general. He
thoug hit SO himself and announced
that he would eat his Christmas din
ner in Pretoria. But he has turned
out failure-and that is an exper-
fence that is very often met with in

College Fraternitie..

Yale College is having trouble with the
fraternity problem. The senior class adj

that the sophomore societies be suppressed
on the ground that they are hotbeds of ex-
clusiveness. and opposed to the demo-
cratic spirit which should prevail in COL
leges.

TO GOVERN THE FILIPINos.

CHICAGO. Feb. 23.-TwO Of the strong
est props of the anti-expansionists were
feiled today b. President Jacob G. Schur-
man, of Cornell University. and late Presi-
dent of the Philippine Commission, in an
address before the faculty and students of

President Schurman. in forecasting the re-
port and recommendations Of the Commits

ment that the Commission recommended
to President Mckinley government and
constitution identicslly the same as that
framed by educated FilipinOs, which is
practically the governmental policy ont
lined by Thomas jefferson for the govern
ment of the vast territory acquired Oy the
Louisiana Purchase.

said the speaker. THE constitution drawn
up in 1895 by Pedro A. Palermo, Aguinal-
dos Prime Minister. will be published
alongside of the constitution adopted by
the commission so it may be seen that
the two are identical, with only slight
elaboration in the American form. This
constitution also agrees with the re-
quests that leading Filipinos have been
making to us day after day
a second statement Of almost equal i'm
portance was an answer made by the
speaker TO the reiterated questions of the
anti-expansionists as to why the commits

communicating with President Mckinley
by cable. adopted the plan Of Great Brit
ain in her government OF the Malays,
namely, the signing OF peace pacts with
the individual chiefs of the tribes.
After a careful study of the island
tribes President Schurman said he be-
came convinced that this was the most
satisfactory way of doing. The results.
he says, upheld his opinion. for in the
southern islands, where this policy was
followed. not a gun had been fired and

history of college friendships shows that.
And aside from the usefulness of indi-

men of differing traditions and expert

plutocracy, and 10 depend for its exis-
tence on a considerable degree Of snob-
bishness. There are as many good fell
lows among the fraternity men as can be
found anywhere-perhaps more-but they
are not doing their whole duty If they let
their society absorb their time and atten-
ton TO the exclusion of the wider inter
csts OF the whole body of students.

cerned over the alleged fact that the chill

This is absurd It involves the hypothe-

The lessons of the South African war
have not been lost on Secretary Root and
General Miles. One evidence of this is TO
be recognized in their praiseworthy ef-
forts TO secure the establishment OF a
War College for the study of strategy as
applied to American defensive problems.
We are glad TO observe that the plan in
contemplation is comprehensive one. in
volving not only the training OF staff Of
icers in the highest branch of the mill
tary profession. but also the spread of
knowledge from the central fountain of
the War College through The other service
schools and the State, and private insti-
tutions where military science is taught
throughout the country.
We are learning something very useful
from the untutored Beers and their bril-
liant defensive tactics. II is that with
modern arms OF precision and destruction
at long range. it is feasible for brave
and well-drilled militia under competent
leadership to defy invasion OF home ter
ritory naturally defensible, even by greatly
superior numbers The Government and
people of America would be insane not to
take this lesson to heart, and apply it i'm
mediately in the organization of great
citizen army reserve. This reserve should
be closely though not necessarily directly
connected with the Regular Army. 1t should
be force large enough to command re-
spect abroad, should be carefully trained
under the direction of professional soldiers
and, among other things. should be
strengthened by compulsory military edu
cation in every school. college, and Uni
yersity of the Union. Details are for the
present unimportant What we want is
powerful army at need without the neces-
sity for keeping a huge standing army.
The latter is something to which popular
opinion in this country is bitterly opposed
1t would not antagonize a great militia
system which in the light of recent obser-
walton and experience, might be made
as effective in an emergency.
