But the Jungle is not all that con-
fronts the soldier detailed for serv-
ice in Samar. The dcnizens of the
jungle are an ever present source of
annoyance and danger. Ofthese there
are the snakes of all varieties and
sizes. They range from the great
python to the very smallest form of
reptile. OF all these reptiles the most
feared is the yenomous cobra, of which
there are thousands. They constitute
a foeman much more dreaded than the
native insurgents, and much harder %
fight. Once the cobra has plunged its
dcath-dealing fangs into the flesh,
nothing can save the victim save the
most heroic methods, and the affected
part must be cut away instantly be-
fore the poison gets into the circula-
ton. 1t is to be hoped that an album

them Il blessing in disguise in one

| Then there is the little red tick, called

out of service for a time at least.
OF all the pests of Samar the most
numerous are the various varieties of
ants that swarm about the islands.
No one ever wrote better description
of these than has Dean {. Worcester
in his volume, THE Philippine Islands"
Of them he says;
"Ants are the most common source
of annoyance. There are millions
of them, belonging to many diff
ferent species, some of which are
quite harmless, while others bite
viciously, and a few sting as we'll.
One often sees what looks like a
thick, black rope dragging along
through the Jungle. Closer inspec-
ton shows that it is a column of
ants out on a hunting expedition. 1t
is made up of individuals of several
different forms, each of which has q
special duty to perform. Scouts run
ahead and skirmsh on the TANKS.
jaws, are constantly looking for
something to bite, while officers
skirt the sides, turn back stragglers,
and give such commands as are
necessary.
"An orderly, well-disciplined army
is going forth to battle, and woe be-
tide the animal, or for that matter
the man, attacked by these myriads
of biting creatures. If one mad
vertently sets foot upon such a coli
umn he will not soon forget it,"
OF these ants which Worcester de-
scribes there is one species. very
large brown ant, which it is particu-
larly hard to escape. 1t makes its
mud nest among the fallen leaves of
the jungle, and can inflict severe pain
by both bite and sting. The bite
will draw blood while the sting
causes rapid swelling and is often
followed by serious illness. This
species also fights in numbers, and
person is seldom attacked by one
only, but by large numbers from
which 1t is impossible to escape with
out considerable injury.
The largest of the Samar ants is
big fellow, fully an inch in length,
and which is gifted with bulldog
tenacity. 1t is black and brown in
color, the head being black and the
body brown, and once it's massive
jaws are closed in a grip in the flesh
it seldom let's go again, and will hold
on even after the body has been torn
from the head.
These reptiles and insects consti-
tute foeman more to be dreaded
than the insurgents that the troops
are being sent against. The insur-
gents are the same treacherous
tribes that have caused trouble at
other places, and who can transform
themselves from an armed foe to
peaceful "atnigo" at a moments mo-
tice. To counterfeit the annoyance
caused by these pests are thousands
of monkeys to furnish amusement.

else the tax collector will seize it and
charge it up to taxes due"
1t is these interior villages in
Samar that to-day harbor insurrec-
ton. Not that the natives, as a
whole, might be classed as insur-
gents, but the armed insurgent is
within their midst, and if the Amer
icaL soldier is to do more than the
Spanish soldier ever did and capture
him he must needs get to and
through these villages, and push
from coast to coast.
In accomplishing the purpose de-
Cided upon by the officials in the
Philippines and at Washington. the
American soldier will meet first with
a tropical forest so dense that to
get through it he must first cut n
trail or roadway. 1t is jungle in
the full meaning of that word, a
jungle through which the sun never
penetrates. 1t is filed with mois-
ture that brings down upon the in
vader continuous shower, and
keeps him wet to the skin. 1t is
jungle in which the heavy army
shoes will serve but a poor purpose,
for they will be constantly soaked,
and hundreds of sorely blistered
feet will be subjects for medical at
tendance.
There is nothing in this country,
and but little in the island of Luzon,
with which our troops are fairly famil-
lar, that can be compared to these
Samar forests. The larger tropical
trees but serve as foundations for the
