Christmas morning Elmira jumped out
Of bed early and ran to her stocking, but
there was not any doll. Later she went
down TO see her Christmas tree and there
was her great big doll standing by the tree.
ElmiTa was very glad. Every night
Elmira undresses her dolly and takes 1t to

No American soldier who has served
his country i'm the Philippines, especially
during the earlier years of the occupa-
ton of the archipelago by the United
States, will accord very much attention
10 the charges of savagery and barbar-
ity brought against the Italian troops
at Tripoli. They will recall that when
they were engaged in suppressing the
Instruction and fighting for their flag
under the most adverse and dishearten-
ing conditions, they were subjected TO
similar denunciations, not only in for
eign newspapers, but even in the press
of their native land. If the campaign
of calumny against Uncle Sans soldiers
in the Far Orient was finally dropped, 1t
was because the authorities in the Phil
ippines took drastic measures to expel
from the archipelago the foreign and
American newspaper correspondents re-
sponsible for the accusations, and also
because people in the United States were
gradually made aware of the difficulty
of observing, in fighting semi barbarous
or completely savage foes, the rules of
warfare in vogue among civilized ma
tons.

To this day the enemies of England
are fond of raking up the old story of
how the Sepoys were blown from the
guns during the terrible Indian Mutiny
Of 1857. But they omit to mention that
while in no sense more painful than
ordinary death by the bullet, or by the
halter IT was the one and only form Of
capital punishment dreaded by the ma
tives. since it destroyed their hopes of a
future existence in the flesh, and that ii
was inflicted only upon those who had
taken a leading part I'm the atrocities to
which thousands of English women and
young children had been subjected, espe-
cially at Cawnpore, where the court
yard of the British Residency was ankle
deep in the blood of English women and
of their offspring.
Only those who have lived in such
countries, and who have actually taken
part i'm hostile operations against the
Black Flags in Southern China, against
the dervishes in Central Africa and on
the Red Sea coast. against the Malays
in the Dutch East Indies, and in the
Philippines, against the desert tribes OF
Western and Northern Africa, and
against the Indians of this Western
Hemisphere, can form any idea of the

Afavorite practice of the Philippine in
surgents, when an American boy In blue
fell into their hands, was to make an in
cision with a bolo in his side, TO extract
from il an end of his intestines, to nail
that end 10 tree, and then by knife
prods and other methods of torture force
the unfortunate victim to inch round
and round the tree until his entrails
were completely unwCund. Time and
again have American soldiers found
comrades Of theirs thus treated; and
this. il must he borne in mind, was
merely one Of the forms Of barbarity
that it is possible to refer to in print,
others. still more horrible, being abso-
lutely beyond description.
In the war which France carried on
for so many years against the semi
independent tribes Of Southern China,
which under the name of the Black
Flags infested Tonking, every French
soldier who fell into the hands of the
enemy was put to the most frightful
death. and often when arriving before
some Black Flag stronghold the French
troops became maddened with rage by
the sight Of the bodies of their COM
rades spitted 10 the walls Of the place
by means Of huge hooks and sharp,
knifelike projections.
l cannot repeat here the atrocities
perpetrated, not only by the dervishes
themselves, but likewise by their women,
upon the English and Egyptian soldiers.

Church and state much was gained and not

session of their arms, and who had then
taken advantage of particularly vlgor-
Gus frontal onslaught by the Turkish
troops to attack the Italians in the rear

vailed 10 massacre many defenceless
Italians. especially among the wounded

the most appalling fortunes and after
their death TO the most CHASTITY mutila-

II was when the Italians, having beaten
off the attack from the front. turned
their attention 10 the enemy in the rear,
and in their house to-h house search came
across the bodies of their comrades, their
relatives. their friends that as Ameri-
can soldiers have done in the Philip
pines, and as English soldiers have done
on the shores of the Red Sea, in Somali-
land ard i'm the Soudan, they saw red
and put to death, without any process OF
trial and without quarter. men whose
hands or shoulders showed traces Of hav-
ing fired off rifles, and women and chill
dren with cartridges concealed about

troops did merely what soldiers of many

witness of the so-called slaughter" OF
the Arabs in Tripol even still more Wig
orously defends Italy's action. He de-
clares that the soldiers OF the latter
treated with clvility and respect not only
prisoners who were Turkish regulars, but
even the Arabs who were fighting in the
ranks of the regular forces, but insists
that the Italians rightfully and justi-
fiably shot those Arabs who, having al
ready made their submission and having

opened fire from the rear and murdered
Ita liam soldiers, civilians, Red cross
nurses and sick and wounded in the city
of Trpoli. DOnohoe goes on to state
that the Italian suppression Of this Arab
instruction within the city was OF no
barbarous character. and was an entirely
legitimate action for the protection of
the Italian army, recognized as such by
the better class Of Arabs in Tripoli. He
winds up by expressing doubt whether
the soldiers of any other white nation
would have been so moderate in dealing
with the treachery Of the Arabs within
the lines
Bennett Burleigh's and Martin Don
ohoe's expert pleas in behalf Of the Ital-
ians NAV be said to have been Endorsed
by the correspondent of The London
Times" who since leaving Tripoli has
written to his paper expressly to assert
that in the retribution eXacted by the
Italian troops from the treacherous
Arabs within the line there was mo war

The opinions of such men as these, as
well as those of the foreign military at
tach4s who have been permitted by Italy
to accompany the expedition of her
troops TO Tripoli, cannot but weigh heav-
fly against the charges Of correspond
ents who have been expelled by General
Cancva for making nuisance Of them

manner the Italian military operations.
