Philippine war, into his expenditur-
es and other matters connected with
his service in those islande. It is
probably well enough that this
should be done, and indeed some of
the stories that have come from Ma-
nila, despite the strict censorehip
maintained, make an investigation
appear to be demanded by every
consideration of humanity and jus-
tice. Some 100 of our soldiers, for
example, according to the records of
the war department, have gone in-
sane within the last six months, and
no less than thirty officers and men
have been officially reported as sui-
cided since Deo. 1. How many
more who have killed themselves
have been cast with the slain in bat-
tle it is impossible to say. Reports
of such inhumane and unsivilized
methods of warfare as the recent al-
ledged massacre of eleven Filipino
prisoners, and Funston’s execution
without trial of two captives, also
demand investigation if this country
is to hold its p sition among civil-
ized nations. But the really vital
thingto be considered in connection
with the war in the Philipines is not
whether it is being prosecuted effec-
tively or humanely, but whether
either righteousness or expediency
justify its prosecution at all. It is a
war against men who were our allies
and whose service to us was grate-
ully acknowledged by all our com-
manders in the Philippines, nntil
that president gave the word for
that forcible annexation, which he
saidiscriminalaggression. It is a
war prosecuted in flat violation of
