In the Spring of 1899 Captain
Harry Newton of the 10th Infantry,
stationed at Manila was called to
General Lawton's Head Quarters
and received orders to head band
of five other men and make a cir
cuitous journey inland some nine hum
dred miles, and if possible, capture
General Aganaugereau, head of the
Philippine Revolutionists Govern
ment. Six months elapsed after the
departure of Captain Newton with
out a word of his fate or the success
of his venture. Then, came the
news that ast o nded that
astounded the world. Aganaugereau
had been captured in the heart of
his own domain and brought cap
tive to Manila. In all the tele-
graphic accounts of the capture, was
detailed information as to the
bravery of the task performed, but
little was said of the hardships un-
dereone by the men who performed
lit. Nothing was said of the alliga-
tor infested streams that we're swan
and fofded or the torturing heat of
the sun on wet and dirty uniforms,
or. the cuts and scratches of the
tropical underbrush. or the almost
maddening pestilence of insects.
These were things that were over
looked by the world and forgotten
by the men themselves as hiendish
nightmare, but they were the hard
ships that had to be overcome to
bring the glory of the success that
followed.
The road to fame is not a rose
strewn path. 1t is filled with thorny
bramble. There is constantly little
impediments that confront one.
They have to be overcome; brushed
aside or trampled under foot.
| In gathering votes you will find,
as Captain Newton found, that

You can find the way if you seek it.
