Chanee's CommendabIe Discipline.
Salt Lake Tribune.


General Chaffee is emphatically to be
commended for requiring American SOL
diers to recognize their obligations TO their
Filipino wives. Ii seems that a good MANY
of such married soldiers attempted TO
leave their families, on the steamer Crook
and the general found some fifty odd cases.
in only five of which were the soldiers
bringing their wives home with them
though all had TRANSFORMATION for their
mates and children. Finding that those
who were abandoning their wives and chill
dren were not disposed TO listen to reason
General Chaffee had forty-seven of the SOL
diers dishonorably discharged from the
service, and they will stay i'm the Philip-
pines. 1t is peremptory discipline but IL
is wholesome and sound; such ties are by no
means CONNIE ndable, but once formed they
must be respected.
