Show GEO. SEAMAN ON I PHILIPPINES .Many times while on the battlefield, battle-field, with the results of war apparent appar-ent on every hand. 1 asked myself. How Is it possible for any question to be settled b opposing forces shoot-each shoot-each other down," said George Seaman Sea-man last evening at the Fifth ward, at the Joint meeting of the Mutual Improvement association of the ward. Mr. Seaman lectured on 'The Philippines Phil-ippines and the Filipinos" and his lecture was doubly interesting because be-cause of the fact that the speaker had seen actual service with the Halted States army on the islands. He enlisted en-listed with the Utah battery as a private pri-vate and was later promoted to gunner's gun-ner's corpora to be promoted to second sec-ond lieutenant later in the w-ar. Mr. Seaman told of the Incidents leading up to the capture of Manila, relating the difficulties encountered in placing the heavy guns in iwjsltlon for firing He also gave a good account ac-count of the people of the Islands and described the geography of the Philippines. |
