Merriam, of Beloit, in the second ol his lectures before the University of Oregon summer school on "Oxford as an Educational Ideal."

D. C, July 17. Ma jor General Bell, commanding the Philippine department, warmly prais es Brigadier General John J. Pershins for the manner in which he conducted bis campaign to disarm the Moros. It is not the first time that Gen. Persh ing has been "mentioned is des patches," and when the history of the Philippines comes to be written. It is probable that the firgher from Miss ouri will be given the credit for do ing the biggest share of the "rough work" incident to the pacification of the Islands. General Pershing has been figatlnj in the Philippines the greater part of the past ten years. In 1906 he wa:i singled out by President Roosevelt U one of his messages to congress for his distinguished services in bis fights against the Moros in the Lake Llano country. There, his senior' oi ficer being incapacitated, the com mand of a battalion devolved upou him (Vir ibvoii mftnfhft he kent OD?n his base of operations, supplied his own subsistence, ana wita nis men, fought every day and part of the night He started at the lower end of lake and fought clear around Its cir cumference, exterminating hostile na tives or making peace with tneir chiefs. Gen. MacArthur, then In command in the Philippines, recommended biui for promotion to brigadier general as the only recognition commensuratt with his actual services. Tbereupoa the president Jumped Captain Persh ing over the heads of 862 officers of higher rank and made him a brigadier general in the regular army. Except, iu the case of General Funston, who was made a brigadier from the volun teers after his capture of Aguinaldo, there Is no other instance upon record where bravery and efficient service have been so promptly and so exten sively rewarded.
