1rumnulls Washington.

In the city hall of Charleston, S. c.,
we gave u interest chiefly to the
wonderful portrait of Washington by
Trumbull. 1t is strange that this
should not be popularity reproduced as
the true portrait, for it shows Wash
ington much more imaginably human
and probable than the wooden visage-
imperishably expressive of the artifi-
cial teeth of the greatest Of Ame.4sans
if not men-which the brush of Stuart
has perpetuated. Trumbull portrays
him younger, in a vigorous full length,
with deep set eyes and a look of energy
and life, and the mystery of his ex-
haustless patience and indomitable
will.-W. D. Howells in Harper's Mag

Promoted, But
Can't Tell Why

LONDON, June 10.-(By mail. }
Commander Gordon Campbell,
mysterious hero of the British
navy, leaped 700 junior naval Off
GERS in promotion, became a mem
Der of the Distinguished Service
Order and was decorated with the
Victoria Cross in less than year
and a half.
Yet, with a storm raging around
his secret career, he is bound by
naval ethics not to tell publicly
how he won either his promotion
or the high honors bestowed by
King George.
Curiosity started mildly, but
when Campbell and the admiralty
remained silent, the demand for
information reached the proportion
of a public uproar. Campbell is
not criticized, exactly; the public
really wants a chance to sing his
praises.
A high official of the admiralty
today assured the United Press
that Campbell's achievements and
bravery during the war deserve
every ray of honor turned upon
him. When the war is over the
people may know what he did and
how he did IT. but for the time
being his deeds must remain be-
hind the veil.

u. S. SENDING
MEXICO NOTE

WASHINGTON, June %
Firm but friendly representa-
lions to Mexico against new high
taxes in the Tampico oil fields,
and other representations against
the so-called Decentralization
of foreign companies, have been
made to the Carranza government
by the United States government,
lit was learned today.
Great Britain is understood TO
have seconded the representa-
lions against the oil taxes, tho
whether she took the course OF
sending the note to Carranza Is
not known.
The taxation representations,
entirely friendly In tone, but quite
insistent upon a change, seek to
lower taxes which many oil men
now regard as almost confiscn>
tory.
The other representations are
directed against the Carranza de-
cree compelling all foreign COM
panies to operate under Next

from under the protection Of
their own governments.
