Leland Bolt Tells of Some Ex. periences as a Soldier In the Phil. lipine Islands. Giving some of his observations on life in the Phillipine Islands, 'Lieut. Leland Bolt. .,who has been stationed there for the past year or so, has writ ten the letter below to his father, Mr. L. S. B olt, of this city, .paragraiphs of a personal nature being stricken out. Since writing this letter Lieut. Bolt has been transferred at his own re quest to service in China. The letter follows: Ft. McKinley, P. I., September 22, 1922. Dear Papa: I have a few mnioments to spare so Il write you a few. lines this morning. For the past week typhoons have been raging around Manila and it has been raining quite often. Our beautiful weather has given .way to wind and rain. The rain was needed very badly though, for the rice 'had begun to suf fer quite a bit, especially on the up lands. I know you would be interest ed to see these natives plant and cul tivate their crops. They use the old Caribao for all their work. It is a kind of water animal very large and powerful. The natives get out in the fields In water no1 to their knees and work all day. 'Phey remind me of old Silas cleaning out a ditch In the bot toms, except they probably do a little more work than he did. gPerhaps the hardest part is transplanting the rice. It is irst planted in a patch like wheat then reset in rows about six or eight Inches in a checker formation. After being reset all that is necessary is plenty of -water. This land over here is just as rich as it can be and would be worth a fortune in the States, but dur ing the dry season it is hard as a brick. There are a few truck farms scattered around where they can be irrigated; othemlvise nothing in the form of vegetables could be grown dur ing the dry season. For the past week we have been quite busy getting everything ready to transfer our men to Corregidor, the Artillery station holding the entrance to Manila bay, said to be one of the strongest fortified stations in the world. They are reducing the number of white troops over here and substi tuting 'Phillipinos for them. Also that dark cloud at Camp Stotsenberg, the Nnth Cavalry, consisting of negroes and some of them the blackest you ever saw, due to the tropical sun plus their original color, are being spnt back on the next transport. I don't think thb natives will make very good cavalry men for most of them do not like our horses. The native horses are very small, just little ponies, and they are afraid of large ones. There are quite a few of the negroes married to the natives and they don't want to carry them to the states so they want to be discharged over here The white people 'here do not favor this ddea, as it is very hard for a ne. gro to compete with the native labor and the negroes can't live on rice likc these natives, so it would -be only matter of time 'till they would have ti be provided for in some 'way. ,As Ionj as tFhey are -in the army they get .plen ty to eat, !but anyone stranded ove: here .without a good job is rather .eare up unless he can 'l-ive on rice. Semi of the negroes who came over in 'thi early days were discharged here an< are .doing well. One runs a restauran wvhich is quite wel-l known as Toni' Dixie Kitchen. Another has quite 1 roputaible shoe shop, namely Casey'i Hospital for SIck EThees. BIest wishes to all, IEf1JAND. PHE~lSBYT'EIAN FREiSRMEN VS.
