United States goverment Uncle
Sams boys cleaned them up af-
ter suffering serious loss. One
lieutensnt snd 12 privates are
killed. So the list grows.
Several hundred of the beet boys
ever grown on American soil
have laid down their lives in
trying to civiliae those bloody
savages. We have an old fash-
ioned notion that all the benefita
ever derived from these islanda
will not start to pay for the loss
of one of these American sold-
iers.
