OUR WAR.

Our war in the Philippines mas

real necessity for our war. Few peo-

gressors. Many, in fact nearly all
believe the war was forced on Them
and if the real facts were known tha'
was the case. Old blow haId OTIS was
spelling for fight, he must make d

made. When Dewey went into Tue

grew to admiration, and had we dealt
with them as became a Christian ana

enemies they would have been our
friends today. But species OF puliy

subordinates and later the soldlery
became imbued with the same feeling
They must and would show thell
