No Ray OF Comfort for the ..Antis".

In these days there comes no ray of
puny pessimists who enjoy croaking
about the Philippines. No spark of
insurrection remains, a splendid be-
ginning has been made in the
Americanization of the islands and in
every respect there is every promise of
peace and progress through the great
archipelago. Even that bugaboo of
the climate which was to kill off our
soldiers as fast as they could be ship
ped across the Pacific is no longer
trOtted out in the anti papers. In
this connection Adjutant General Cor
bin who has just returned from the
Philippines says: Il was greatly sur
prised to find our soldiers in such ex-
cellent health. I think | saw but two
officers who were suffering from the
effects of the climate. Our men are
not only in good health, but are also
in good spirits. and everybody is par
ticularly hopeful of great things in the
Philippines in the future. 1t is to the
rising generation that we will look for
results. Throughout the archipelago
the natives are anxious to learn Eng
lish. Young manhood is rapidly learn
ing our ways and customs" The
effects Of American civilization are
seen both upon our soldiers and the
, natives. Americans are becoming
acclimated, and the natives are learn
ing what progress means. General
/ Corbin thinks that in a short time only
% 900 troops will be needed in all the
islands. and when these are housed in
| permanent barracks the cost of main
| tanning the troops will be even less
/ than it now is, the expenses having al
ready been greatly reduced in year.
