the congregation rises to its feet and re-
mains standing until the last notes die
away"
Wants Language, Too.
The Filipino soldier not only takes keen
interest in keeping his camp faultlessly
policed, his tent ever ready for inspection.
and his Announcements shining; the mo-
ment he dons Uncle Sans uniform he be-
gins an earnest struggle to master the
English language. He finds this task good
deal harder than that of handling gun
American fashion Nevertheless. in a few
months time he has a fairly good working
knowledge of the language.
The chaplains assigned to the scouts and
to the consta bulary are the soldiers solace
and comfort when the new tongue becomes
too much for them. Besides giving aid to
all individuals who apply, 1t has been Gus
tomary for each chaplain to organize
'non-com's' school and ground Its men,
bers in the fundamental principles OF the
language Attendance is optional but
whenever the school for the scouts now in
this country meets every "non-com" not on
duty Is in attendance.
The "non-comS'' In turn instruct the
privates of an evening; and SO whenever
any one masters a new word phrase, by
next morning the whole camp has become
acquainted with it. and for the next day or
two uses it on every conceivable occasion in
order to keep possession of it.
Thus again the Filipino soldier is like
his Jap cousin-he is a student.
But can he fight as well?" Major John
ston was asked.
We'll" the reply, hes every bit as
wiry as the Jap. He has superb nerve and
the true oriental disregard for death. No
soldier could be keener to equip himself for
the emergency of war; and you must re-
member that when he was ill-fed. poorly
clothed. miserably led and drilled not at all,
he frequently gave our regulars good deal
of trouble during the recent instruction.
''One thing is certain, however The FIJI
ipino was enlisted experiment, both
in the regular army as scout and in the
constabulary. which constitutes the insular
forces. He has proved in both services to be
decided success: and the soldier who
gives such good account of himself in
peace is pretty sure to make a still better
record for himself when war really comes"

but must say, in justice to these Fifpi-

with a keen mentality that enables them to
grasp the full significance Of command

II have seen more than one scout do

THREE ARE GUILTY
CAR BARN BANDITS TO SUFFER
DEATH PENALTY ACCORDING
TO VERDICT OF JURY.
Verdict Delayed Few Hours on Ac-
count Of Temporary Division Of
Opinion as to Making Punishment
Of All Alike, AZ one Had Confessed
and Gave Hiding Place Of Others.

Chicago. H.. March l2.-Harvey Van
Dine. Gustave Marx and Peter Nieder-
meyer. the car barn bandits, were
found guilty of murder today by the
jury. which fixed their penalty at
death. A crowd surrounded the jurors
and congratulated them. The defense
made the usual motions for new trials.
Six murders are charged against this
trio of beardless youths during their
brief career of crime, which included
many holdups and saloon robberies,
and eliminated in their capture after
a pitched battle in a dugout in Indiana.
Emil Roeski. the fourth member of
the gang. remains yet to be tried.
The trio sentenced to death this
perate all-day battle, which started in
a dugout near Liverpool, Ind, where
they had taken refuge, after a series
of remarkable crimes, including the
murder of three employees of the Chi
cago City railroad. The verdict of the
jury was delayed from yesterday after
noon until today on account of a tenn
porary division of opinion as to max
ing the punishment for them all alike,
Marx having confessed and disclosed
the hiding place of the others, who
brazened out their plea of innocence.
The bandits heard their doom stolid-
ly. The mothers of the boys were in
the court room when the jury returned
it's verdict. Two Of them made no out
cry, but the mother Of Marx complete
~ collapsed.
