PHILIPPINE SCOUTS.
Native Troops Are Rapidly Learning

Native Troops Are Rapidly Learning
the Trade of War.
"In talking with officers OF the army
at various times have heard much
In praise of the native troops that
form part Of the United States army
on duty in the Philippines said II.
b. Nelson of Philadelphia to a Detroit
Free Press man. "Very little seems to
be known in the United States of these
troops, few people even being aware
Of the fact that Uncle Sam Is employ
ing the little brown man to do his
fighting.
"The Philippine scouts, the enlisted
men Of which are ali native Filipinos,
include fifty companies Of infantry.
The officers Of the grade Of captain and
above are for the most part commits
stoned officers of the United States
army who are detailed with the scouts
for a term of years, while some of the
| lieutenants have been appointed from
| the army and others from civil life
There are also a few Junior commis'
stoned officers who are native Fill
pinos.
"Since their organization in 1901 the
scouts have done great work. They
have been in dozens of fights and have
invariably proved themselves brave
and efficient soldiers. In the last five
years they have had more officers and
men killed than all other organiza'
tions serving in the islands during that
period.
The Filipinos take pride in their
profession as soldiers and invariably
present fine appearance on or of
duty. They drill exceptionally well
better, l am informed, than the ma
jority of organizations of the regular
establishment, and are we'll disciplined
I'm the event of war between the
United States and some other power,
the scouts would prove among Uncle
Sans best fighters, in the opinion Of
officers who have served with them.

a proportion of the regular army in
the islands. The native troops receive
just half as much pay as Americans,
getting their money III silver, while
the other soldiers are paid in gold. so
their employment in the Philippines
means economy. There is also the con-
sideration that they are much less sub
to the tropical climate. AS far as their
loyalty Is concerned, officers say that
while the scouts are under command
of white men, there need be no con-
Germ on that score.''

Winnipeg is where they do things
This is really the place where the from
tier was abolished by the real estate
regicides. A kingdom is sold daily in
Winnipeg, an army is marched in by
rail to occupy it over night.
The yards of the Canadian Pacific rail
way alone in Winnipeg have over 100
miles of trackage, and they need it. The
immigrants come by battalion-English-
men in caps, Scotchmen in bonnets, Bre-
ton French in blue coats, Germans,
Swedes, Norwegians, Austrians. Mennon-
ties, Galicians-all manner of furtve
folk and wild.
There are fifteen known languages in
the Winnipeg schools, and a lot too late
to classify. When you see stranger you
cannot tell whether or not he is within
the range Of human speech. You bitterly
reflect only that he is one of those who
have wiped out the old frontier, lost it
forever to those who love the wilderness.
