Louisville Courier-Journal “Damn the Filipinos!” N THE 17th of March a banquet was held at Pope Hall, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, in honor of Brigadier-General Franklin Bell, who was about to ve his former headquarters at Fort Leavenworth in order to assume the position of chief of staff of the United States army. Ac cording to the Leavenworth Post, a featurcof this “magnificent demonstration” was the singing of a song that gave a ‘“‘very apt description of life in the Philippines.” Of this remarkable ballad the following is a sample verse: Underneath the nipa thatch, Where the lazy lepers scratch— en after hiking all day long— I lay me down to sleep, Slimy lizards o'er me creep, And I hear the soldiers sing their evening song Chorus. Damn, damn, damn the Filipinos, Pockmarked, kakiac ladrones! Underneath the Starry Flag Civilize them with the Krag, For we want to see our own beloved home! Should this striking composition come to the notice of the people whom it so “aptly” and so charitably “describes,” they will no doubt be inspired to continue it in some such strain as this: From their dear, delightful home To our heathen isles they come, Gentle missionaries of sweetness and of light! They may have to shoot a few And to burn a town or two, But we know they love us—so it’s quite all right! Chorus. Bless, bless, bless the "Mericanos! Paragons of kindliness and tact!
