 Of course the position was an honorary or technical One but it was official and the commission duly made out Fortunately, it wholly unnecessary Never did beman of the Old World serve democrat more loyalty than did Rochambeau obey the orders of Washington Lafayette is really exception since he youth and a volunteer but Rochambeau came with his division as part and parcel of the army of France In little inn at Wethersfeld, Conn., still standng the two conferred and decided campaign which practically ended the

 He has failed to sign up with the Kaiser not because of any present contract The first assistant postmaster general released him from any such obligation He is out of work all right and steamship ticket to Hamburg is all that stands between him and his new job.

 Alas the German must be straffed and we have no time to barley with cantakerous redskins what the Arizona cowboys will do to that tribe will probably not be nice
 The Apache is short of memory and keeps little or no written record or he wouldn't be tackng this task right now Not thirtyve years back the Huaap Apaches took the war path after bunch of nine cowboys and they settled the score in little valley south of Prescott which since that time has been known Skull Valley" and there were no white mems skulls therabOuts either.

Rochambeau was elected to head the French eXpedi-

 measure up to the moral and mental standard of the Amer ican leader It is remarkable thing that in an age when communication was slow when newspapers were few and America was further off than any portion of the world now is, Washington known in France as man not only of consummate abilities solder but as man of highest character Hence Rochambeau sent as the best man to meet him on an elevated plane of thought.
