title to the island by the United States.
If the experience of Captain Pierce OF

as an indication, the services of an
American warship may be necessary to
place RosehiH in possession OF the island.
About fourteen months ago Captain
Pierce stopped at Marcus Island for the
purpose of adjusting his instruments. he
headed a party and went ashore IN fhe
steam launch. He was met on the beach
by about twenty japanese, many OF
whom were armed with rifles and who
ordered the Americans to leave the island

Taking and Giving Life.

Chicago Tr1Dune.
General Wheaton has pnilosophic way
of looking at the situation in the Phil
ippines, where he has been on duty for
the last three years. He sees compen-
sations for the ravages of war where SEN
admits that there has been much loss of
life among the natives. due to their OBJ
stinate and unwise resistance to American
authority. He says that the sanitary re-
forms which have been introduced and
enforced by the American civil and mill
tary authorities have saved many more
lives than the American soldiers have
taken.
American rifles and cannon have sent
many Filipiuos to premature graves, but
compulsory vaccination and the stamping
out of the bubonic plague have saved
many Filplnos from such graves. The
destructive and conservative agencies of
civilization have gone through the archi-
pelago hand in hand. The General es-
Inmates that 100000 lives have been pre-
served by the presence of the Americans

of the Government in the islands for the
saving of single life. They will contend
that nothing done there has worked for
good-not even vaccination. Yet General
Wheaton's logic seems to be sound. It
is unfortunate that the Filipinos did not
allow the Americans to devote them
selves exclusively to the task of protect
ing life in the archipelago. That was
their desire. They would not have Cred
one hostile shot If the FilipinOs had not
made it necessary for them to do so.
