SAMAROAMPAICN
COL. GROESBECK DISCUSSES
CASE OF GEN. SMITH.
THE WATER CURE PRACTICE
He Believes in It—Saye that it is the
Most Human Method of Obtaining
Information So Far Know to Mod
ern Warfare.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.—Colonel
Stephen Grossbeck, formerly judge ad
voacte of the division of the Philip
pines, has arrived here from Manila
en route to Chicago, where he will
take station as Judge advocate of the
department of the lakes. Colonel
Grossbeck was chief reviewing author
ity in the trials of Major Waller and
General Jacob H. Smith, both of
whom were court-martialed for meth
ods used in the Samar campaign.
Discussing the Waller trial, Colonel
Grossbeck characterized Major Waller
as a tactician, not a leader. In re
viewing the case he said:
“I could only give a qualified ap
proval of the findings of the court be
cause I believed him responsible large
ly for the condition that caused his
men to commit the offenses charged.
An attempt was made to lead a de
tachment of his command, consisting
of four officers, fifty-four enlisted men
and thirty-three ‘cargadores’ from east
towns across the Island of Samar in
search of the enemy, and when about
midway of his course he found him
self in the heart of an uninhabited,
mountainous section, without rations
and without medical attendance. The
march had been begun without proper
provisions being made. The men's
shoes were worn away, their cloth
« “fS llUUft 111 Ulllt I O, l 11" 1 I ICCl UIU1BCU
and bleeding, their bodies lacerated by
thorns and, added to this wretched
ness, the leeches which abound at
tacked and greatly aggravated their
exposed wounds. To the cry for food
the ‘cargadores,' it is alleged, did not
efficiently respond, and the suspicion
arose in the minds of the starving
men that the ‘cargadoros’ were con
niving at their destruction. Kor this
they were placed under Are, and all
of those from whom a cry of retalia
tion came were executed.”
• Referring to the famous "kill and
burn" order alleged to have been
Issued by General Smith, Colonel
Smith, Colonel Grossb'eck said:
"No such order was ever issued by
Smith, but he is an Impetuous and
erratic man, and, when going over the
ground at Ilalangiga, after the mas
sacre of an entire company of the
Ninth infantry, he remarked to Wal
ler that they would be justiAed in kill
ing and burning as they went.”
He did not think thnt Waller or
any of the officers of ills command
should be held accountable for the
llveB destroyed, but he believed that
had more careful provision been made
when the fatal march was begun it
would not have ended with such de
structive results. He spoke of General
Bmith as a Ane officer and expressed
regret at the humiliation attached to
the recent orders for his retirement.
Colonel Grossbeck believes in the
water cure and said that in all the
complaints caused by this method of
forcing the insurgents to give in
formation as to where arms were hid
den, etc., it had been abused only by
young officers over-zealous and inex
perienced in their work. "I believe,”
he said, "the water cure as practiced
by the American army in the Phil
ippines to be the most humane meth
od of obtaining information from
criminals of war that is known to
modern warfare.”

BOND TO PAi' DEPOSITORS.
Stockholders of German Bank of Mur
dock to Wind Up Affairs.
LINCOLN, Neb., July 19.—Acting
in accordance with a section of the
Nebraska banking act, the state board
of banking today approved the bond
the stockholders of the defunct Ger
man bank of Murdock, under which
the stockholders agree to pay all
claims against the institution within
the next six months. By the terms of
the agreement they are to be given
possession of all of the paper and
records of the bank. They will wind
up its affairs in their own way, but
are liable for all deposits and bills
outstanding. It is understood that
the stockholders will appoint C. F.
Cushman, cashier of the Bank of
Murdock, as trustee. The liabilities
of the defunct bank are approximately
$40,000. The paper of the bank is said
to be good for its face value. Mr.
Cuthman was one of the stockholders
of the Institution. Under this ar
rangement no receiver will be ap
pointed. The bond is for $70,000.
The German bank of Murdock was
closed by order of the state banking
board two weeks ago, it having been
learned that one of its officers had
been guilty of a direct violation of
the law. This violation was the issu
ance of a certificate of deposit for
$3,000, without having it registered
in the bank, or the deposit credited.

court convened here with Judge John

half a dozen horses and mules and

the new addition.

THEIR WORK FOR THE YEAR.
It is Outlined by the Nebraska Society
for the Promotion and Improve
ment of Religious Education.
On the 5th and 6th of last April a
body of Christian ministers and lay
men met in the parlors of the First
Congregational church of Lincoln. The
call for this religious conference was
issued by E. Benjamin Andrews, W. F.
Dann and E. L. Hinman on behalf of
the University of Nebraska, and by
B. M. Long, H. O. Rowlands and M. A.
Bullock on behalf of the Lincoln Pas
tors’ association.
The result was a fair attendance
and a most interesting discussion. A
permanent organization was made by
the election of Prof. Charles Fordyce,
Wesleyan university, as president; T.
M. Hodgman, University of Nebraska,
secretary, and a board of managers—
Chancellor E. B. Andrews, N. M. Mann.
Omaha; President George butherland.
Grand Island college; W. G. Whit
more, Valley, and Prof. A. B. Fair
child. Doane college.
At a session of the officers and man
agers held Aril 11 it was decided,
among other matters, to call the or
ganization “The Nebraska Society for
the Promotion and Improvement of Re
ligious Education,” and the committee
whose names are signed to this arti
cle was instructed to prepare an ad
dress setting forth the origin and im
mediate purposes of the society.
The names of the men who initiated
and who are carrying on this move
ment are a sufficient guarantee that
it Is non-sectarian but wholly Chris
tian. In a modest way the society
aspires to do its share in laying the
foundations of faith broader and
ideeper.
unaiucu, 1,1110 uan uu little,
but with the cordial co-operation of
the religious leaders in Omaha, Grand
Island, Hastings and Beatrice it is
hoped to hold district conferences in
these centers during the fall and win
ter. A splendid opportunity for the
agitation of the topics below Is pre
sented to the many denominational
gatherings that occur this summer.
We appeal to those having these pro
grams in charge to provide a place
for the discussion of some of the top
ics about to be stated. The secretary
will be grateful if the best of these
papers are sent him. To a limited ex
tent the society can furnish speakers
if request is made, to the secretary.
In the judgment of the society the
best results will come by concentrat
ing attention this year upon the ad
mitted decay of parental religious in
struction and the query as to whether
bible school teaching in its present
condition is a full equivalent.
To what is this decay due? Is it
a dimming of faith? Are the exac
tions of society and business robbing
the religious life? Is confusion of
thought arising from the wider dis
semination of agnostic literature?
Does the breaking down of denomina
tional barriers undermine the convic
tions of the individual? Is it a nat
ural timidity incident to the loss of
the habit of religious meditation and
self-analysis induced by the old cate
chising system? Or is it another il
lustration of the modern spirit of spe
cialization whereby the parent delib
erately commits the religious training
of his child to the supposedly better
equipped bible school teacher?
Upon the last point there is in the
minds of careful observers a grave
ioubt as to whether the confidence of
the parent is not misplaced. What
ire the reasons for the weakness of
the bible school instruction? Why do
the young men and women so easily
irop out of the Sunday school?
Admitting that the great burden of
religious training rests upon the bible
school, does it not behoove us to
he remedy? A great looseness of
the remedy? A great looseness of in
religious thought, a fatal flabbiness
n religious conviction characterize
jur young people. There is reform de
manded somewhere. Other states are
iwakening to this fact. Shall Ne
iraska lag behind?
