Cruelty Not Essential.

1t is idle to assume that campaigning
in the. Philippines has conditions that
warrant resort to medieval cruelty, and
departure from the honorable method
OF conducting warfare, and that such de-
partures as have existed should be over
looked and condoned
1T is most gratifying that the serious
offenses have not been committed by the
soldiers, unless they were under the di-
rect orders of certain officers who were
responsible. Soldiers have withheld fire
when ordered to shoot prisoners, pro-
tested against acts of cruelty, and writ
ten to relatives at home urging them TO
take action to put stop to those crimes.
army that such deeds, committed by
whatever authority, are abhorrent to the
American soldier.
The officers who are responsible, US
ing chiefly cruel Macabebes, do not by
any means constitute the American
army, and there must be very unmis-
taxable line drawn between the great
body of honorable and faithful officers
and brave soldiers whose records have
been commendabIe, and those. of what
ever station, whose acts have received,
