whole world of one blood. Indeed. there
ought to be no Christmas where giving to
the poor does not hold first place, for it
is not the gifts to those who are nearest
but to those who are in want that brings
the largest measure of happiness.
Today is the day of joy and mirth, par
excellence in the South. In other sections
the Fourth Of July or Thanksgiving share
the glory of Christmas, but in the South
Christmas outranks all other holidays,
and is the day of feasting, OF
recreation, of reunion of families,
of happiness that is all-embracing. In
the South of the old times, it was fes-
tval that lasted more than week. II
so much time cannot now be given to the
celebration of Christmas, it is to be hoped
that the same spirit of love and gener-
osity will always characterize the South's
chief holiday.

Information to the American forces,
is due the prolongation Of the guerilla
warfare.
Commenting upon the plan Of gradu-
ally replacing military with civil
administration, General Chatfee
says:
The withdrawal of interference
with civil affairs does not contemplate
withdrawal of the troops from their
stations to any considerable extent:
on the contrary, this should not be
done hastily, and when undertaken
should be gradually and more in the
nature of concentration than reduction
of force or abandonment of any con-
siderable area of territory"
He, therefore, recommends thai
there be no further material reduction
OF troops before January, 1903. The
civil governments which are being
organized--provincial and munici |

new and untried, and there is but one
certain and reliable method of ascer- |
tanning the progress Of the Filipinos

by the army.EsOn the subject of the
military government of the city of |
Manila, General Chaffee says;
SIN the government of Manila for
three years, ifsthe militsy have done
nothing more, it is everywhere appar-
ent that an excellent foundation has
been laid and turbulent and hostile
