The national honor never has, never can, and never will be protected by such methods.
Have you, or any one else, ever heard a single word of protest from these people or any one connected with them against the revolting cruelties of the enemy in the Philippines?
I must say this is the first time I ever heard of national honor being sustained by such methods.
In view of all the facts, I must doubt the sincerity of those who are seeking to bring discredit upon our little Army, the marvellous efficiency of which has won the admiration of the world.
