To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"He says again, 'We are waging the most humane war in history. ' That humane war has already cost us one full regiment of American soldiers killed and dead from wounds and dis- ease, and fully three regiments of men maimed, crippled, diseased and broken down. Thou- sands of Filipinos have fallen not as many as the official reports indicate, but still thousands. A war that kills five thousand men on both INEFFICIENCY OF THE DISPERSION 141 sides, maims, cripples and breaks down ten thousand and c...auses endless misery to countless thousands more, is a curious variety of humane war. If it really be humane war, one might say, a la Mr. Dooley, ' Abase humane war ! ' " Again, ' two regiments of troops could go, ' etc. For the last three days twenty-five hun- dred American soldiers under command of Colonel Lockett have been operating within twenty-five miles of Manila, just beyond San Mateo, where General Lawton was killed. They are not killing ' to their heart's desire, ' nor can they do so. Probably there is no l serious risk ' in an engagement, of about equal numbers, in which an American major-general is killed and a casualty list of a score is reported.
