thing is 70 be in readiness here 70 be-
gin actual work on the road within so
days. This, with the opening of the

that Elma will nearly, If not quite

-.s hv the knowledge that the soldiers of other nations were to take part m the rehel eA nedition and he wished the men of his own coun try to show themselves worthy Ill the sisht ol tne men of other countries
 They did show themselves worthy and they re- snonded to the call of their commander with alacrity that made the American leaders instead of followers in that march beset with diftculties and dangers almost unparalleled in modern war fare.
 There are men in the army to-day who firmly believe that Gen Chafee did not sleep an hour during the march to Picking. The soldiers who made the march declare that the nights in China are black that it is impossible to see anything at all without the aid of artificial light, and these in the bvouacs of the soldiers were forbidden for precautionary reasons. There was no definite knowledge of the forces that might be in the path of the expedition, and no one knew what surprises the night might cover. Gen. Chafee, his soldiers say constituted himself sentinel who refused to be relieved from guard, and through the nights he alert and watching. and through the days he alert and marching.
 There are stories by the of men who supposed to bear charmed lives The hero of the book of fiction sheds bullets slate roof sheds rain, and in the reading of it one finds it hard to believe that any truth could be stranger than this fiction. If Gen. Chaffee doesn't bear charmed life he has the largest allowance of luck that has fallen to any one man.
 Gen. Chafee has been four times brevetted for bravery. Two of the brevet commissions came to him for gallantry in the civil war service and two for gallantry in battles with the Indians. He led cavalry charge over rough and precipitous bluffs, where cavalry charge was thought to be a feat wellngh impossible.
 He rode at the head of his men straight into a body of armed Indians, scattering them, but not until they had poured volley after volley into Chaf fees oncoming command That charge gave the soldier his brevet commission a lieutenant colonel.
 When the Spanish-American war broke out Chaffee made brigadier general of volun teers. He was in the very thick of the fighting in front of Santiago. Capt Arthur Lee, British army officer detailed by his government to watch the field operations ill Cuba, attached himself to the headquarters of Gen. Chafee Capt. Lee wrote story about the campaign in which he paid to Gen. Chaffee the highest tribute that it is possible for one soldier to pay to another.

powerful swimmer. On that night he swan the entire distance around the bay, landing now and then to get closer look at the enemys water front Notifications He did this unseen of any sentinel If discovery had come it meant almost certain death to the swimmer. He came back to his starting point with full knowledge of the strength of the Spaniards in heavy guns, and when the time for the assault came, the infor- nation was of priceless service.
 Gen. Bell was called while in the Philip pines to end the war in Batangas. He ended it and in ending it he took the only course possible course that the civilians at a distance from the fighting denounced as altogether too severe Bell was called second Weyler, and second duke of Ava, but when full knowledge came oi his operations and of the craft and horrid cruelty of the natives whom he was fighting, criticism died. Of his experience and of the criticism he said in a letter to friend:
 Knowing my disposition and kindly feeling toward the natives full well. you will have no diff
 culty in understanding that the necessity for se- were measures has been source of distress to me. The only consolation I can derive is by keeping my thoughts on the end and object fL view. When has worked faithfully, consci- entiously and unselfshly for his country four years, without relaxation rest it is somewhat discouraging, not to say distressing, to find that even some of his own countrymen appear to have no confidence in his motives, judgment integl rity.'
 There is no use in mincing words Gen. Bell is considered one of the most daring and dashng officers in the American service. He medal of honor for charging "single-handed and alone" body of armed Filipinos. He was shot at repeatedly from every quarter, but in army parlance: They didn't get him. but he got sev- en of them. not dead, but alive, and he led back to the American lines, his septet of prisoners. all covering under his pointed pistol though every man jack of them was armed.
 If war were to come there Is army doubt although he is far from being the ranking officer of the service, that Gen. Bell would be given the chief command of the field forces
 It needs neither the bearing the uniform of Lieut.. Gen. Adna R. Chafee (retired), to show His expression is at mild and aggressive and the eye is purposeful Gen. Chaffee's name comes most readily to the lips when one is asked to name typical American soldier

things from Gen. Clahee. That oU- feet lesson doubtless has had some influence in modifying the thought which the orientals held that they could whip the Americans out Of hand. Gen. Chaffee was in command of the expedition which went to the relief of the beleaguered embassies at Picking. Japanese officers and men saw him there. The general won a fame in China which is not confined to the American continent.
 The generals of Europe have giv- en testimony that Adna R. Chaffee is a great soldier. Orders to take command of the Chinese expedition reached Gen. Chaffee while he was at Nagasaki on board a steamer which was to take him to the Phil ippines. The order was unexpected, and the general had practically no chance for campaign preparations. He was to go into strange land, to lead an expedition against strange people, and not only was it expected of him that he be successful, but that success be won quickly, for the lives of many Americans were in t.anger within sight of the walls Of he Forbidden City"
 The general arrived at Tien-tsin too late to take part in the battle in which the brave Maj. Liscum of the Ninth infantry lost his life. Not only was the American soldier spurred to quick marching action by the knowledge of the imminent peril

had chance to Startle the air with crv or a shot
 Straight into the village went Bell at the head of his men. Dawn streaks were beginning to show in the sky, but the warriors were asleep past the ordinary waking, for were not the sen tinels posted, and were they not bound by every tradition of tribal honor to be-awake and watch full?
 Lieut.. Bell had given his orders. The viii lage cordoned with troops and there wasn't a mousehole of escape. Bell has a whimsical humor. In the very heart of the Tagaog village old muzzle-loading brass cannon, trophy taken by the Tagalogs from the Spaniards of an other day, and which the natives hoping to use against the equally hated Americans. Bell detsiled a loading party of three The three became boys again, and they rammed the piece full of powder and grass wadding, after the man. ner- of loading Fourth of July cannon on the village green in the home land
 The light of coming day was strong enough for the conducting of operations. lanyard was pulled and the brazen piece roared out it's reveille The sound of it shook the foundations of the Ia galog huts; it reused the warrior sleepers would the cracking of doomsday They came armed but naked to the fray. The Tagalogs looked on bayonet points and down gun barrels and sur render came instanter.
 Gen l. Franklin Bell is the youngest officer who ever held the position of chief of staff. He is genial general and he is willing to talk when u6 profession. AS the joker put it. he is Bell who knows when to ring of. He avoids the sins of silence and of speech, wherein he shows that he is wiser in his generation than some of his prede- cessors were in their generation.
 When his promotion came the chief of stan jumped from captaincy to a brgadier general ship and his tremendous rank stride did not bring forth one word of criticism from soldier or civi- Han. Since then he has become major general. The army officers who were jumped said that Bell earned his promotion and that if other pro- motions were, like his, based solely service quality, there would be no heart burnings under the blouses
 When the Seventh cavalry in which Gen. Bell then a lieutenant, reached the Philippines, the Spanish troops still in possession, for Dewey had reduced the fleet, but not Manila city and it's immediate defenses Information was wanted concerning the Spanish earthworks.

 Back Tn one Of the provinces was a band of Tagalogs who had given the government forces all kinds of trou- ble. One of their chief villages was located" and Gen. Bell with his fol- lowing of old campaigners took the trail for its capture. The command ing officer had been through cam paigns against the Sioux, the Apaches. and other tribes of the mountains and plains, and taken more than one leaf from the book of knowledge of savage warfare.
 Guides led the force to the vicin- fty of the Tagalog village. Night fell and the Tagalogs were all unsus- picious of the approach of the white enemy. At three o'cloo in the morn ing, when sleep always hangs heavy on the eyes, Bell led his men toward the village. The Tagalogs had sentinels posted along an outlying line.
