culture will give the right foundation
upon which to build and prepare itself for

Throughout the South. the youth of orr

Secretary Root.
(By Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, Feb. l9.-Responding
to an inquiry from Senator Lodge, the
Secretary of War to-day sent him a
large number of papers bearing upon
the charge that cruelty is practiced by
the American troops on the Filipinos.
Senator Lodge presented the documents
in the Senate. Among the documents
forwarded are the records of thirteen
Investigations into such charges, and
the Secretary says that every report or
charge Of this description which has at
any time been brought to the notice
oc the War Department has been made
the subject of prompt Investigation.
He adds that in substantially every
case inquired into the report has proved
to be either unfounded or grossly exag-
gcrated. He also says the department
is now engaged in conducting an

the Senate last week that THE water
cure is the favorite torture OF the Amer.

from Lieutenant Batson. the commander
OF the Macabebee scouts, TO the same
