The Herald in the Philippines.

Mr.. Norman Bats, who recently re
turned from the Philippines, has fur
nished us with an interesting photo
graph of American soldiers and native
Filipinos taken in far away Luzon.
Four of the group have copies of the
HERALD in their hands, and one of the
Filipinos seems to be absorbed in its
contents. Mr. Bats tells US that the
HERALD was in great demand among
the soldier boys, and so anxious were
they to read the papers and learn of the
happenings at home, that the copies
would be almost worn out after they
had gone the rounds
