Catholic Archbishop of Manila Harty urges Father Doyle to intercede with President Roosevelt to have Father Hall appointed a chaplain for the Catholic soldiers in the Philippines. Harty explains why he has felt it necessary to write a series of articles for the Catholic press about a history of the Philippines written by David P.
