BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-

sworn to is a bona-fide one.
1t is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-
tisers, by sending out thousands OF
papers to newsstands which are re-
turnable, and which are. in fact. re-
turned, but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement Of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers. however,
Judge by results. and bogus circula-
tions don't give them.

VIGOROUS CONDEMNATION
PHILIPPINE SOLDIER CONTR ADICTS
MN. LEWIS ALLEGED LETTER.
He Characterizes the Writer i'm No
Uncertain Terms-FilipfnO
Atrocities.

William S. Loomis has returned to this
city after having served for over a year in
the 2Sth Infantry in the Philippine Islands.
Mr.. Loomis seen by Star reporter to-
day and expressed indignation over the
charges lately contained in letter referred
to by Representative Lentz, which purport-
ed to be from a soldier and which alleged
various atrocities on the part of American
soldiers toward the F'ilipinos.
Il want to refute those charges" said
Mr.. Loomis. II do not care who the SOL
der is who wrote that letter, he is a liar.
The atrocities committed were the part
of F'ilipinos toward the soldiers. We want
ed to avenge the acts Of cruelty many
times. and we thought we should have been
allowed to do it, but out officers held us in
check
Shocking Atrocities.
Mr. LOOMS cited various cases in which
soldiers had been attacked and cut to pieces
with boloS, and in one case a soldier had
been lacerated in a horrible manner and
had had fire built on his stomach. There
were many instances in which soldiers who
We're on friendly terms with natives were
attacked by them when they had no reason
TO expect such attacks. Mr.. Loomis de-
clared that in no instance that had ever
come to his attention, either by observation
or by report. did he know of soldier in
melting cruel treatment on the natives of
the kind charged in the letter quoted by
Mr. Lentz. He said when the natives were
held as prisoners they had Jared as well or
better than the soldiers.
Alleged Treatment on Transport.
The only bad treatment 1 received while
in the service, said Mr. LOOMS, was on
the transport Sherman returning to this
country. There seemed to be no one whose
to Oft 4
were 800 men on board, all soldiers dis
charged as convalescents, and they We're
treated like dogs. On Christmas day we
We're to have dinner of chicken, but all
the men got were the necks and feet. My
Christmas dinner consisted of about en-
inch and half of a chicken neck. Com
ing home on that transport was the most
horrible experience of my life"
