the finest technical officers in the service and Is known kno all over the world as a's as the Inventor of f some o of o othe the best mechanical devices ever used by its artillery arm The principal objection objection objection ob ob- ob- ob t to his appointment is that It Jumps him over the heads of or many worthy men of now now higher rank and much longer service But Mr Roosevelt Roosevelt

Aguinaldo Dr Adler said that the success of the adventure re resulted resulted re- re suIted from the use of forged decoy letters and the enemy's uniforms the latter being a distinct ct violation of The Hague peace treaty ho he declared Yet we through our official representatives raised raised this man to the rank of general general general gen gen- eral said Dr Adler and now he goes about the country saying that those who condemn the war ought to tobe be he hanged The Philippine question was stilt still open Dr Adler de declared lared It had not been decided by Congress the President or the people Why not not recognize the the Independence of oC the Philippines he added We ask that the doors of the Senate committee i- i re re- re main maln open so so that If If there be an evil we may purge that evil from from among us We must force reluctant public opinion to take Up tip this issue and not let the Spanish inquisition be revived in the twentieth century under the sacred sacred sacred sa sa- sa- sa cred banner of our country It is strange that a man of Dr Adlers Adler's learning and Information does not know that The Hague treaty does not cover wars against barbarians but only such as as may may be waged against civilized States As Vf to the ruses of or war r sorted resorted to by Funston on the the- occasion occasion occasion oc oc- oc- oc casion they all do it and it is a new doctrine that such things are not Justifiable justifiable Jus jus- tillable especially where a treacherous and savage foe like the rebels rebels' is concerned |
