CHOLERA!

The US. War Department has ordered the evacuation of American troops from the

Mysang district in the island of Mindinao, despite the fact that the peaceful community is threatened with extinction by Alipang and his dreaded Moro bandits.

Four men are ordorod to My- sang to assist Colonel Hatch in training the Philippines Con- stabulary, which is to keep order In the district after tho with- drawal of the troops. Soon after their arrival Colonel Hatch is murdered by a Maro and Man- ning takes charge. But Man- ning, too, is killed, leaving only Hartley, a strict disciplinarian, Larsen, McCool and Caravan, the doctor, to hold out against the thousands of Mors.
