When thinking OF the casualties that
have overtaken three of the four sons
of ExPresident Roosevelt. compare
this record with that of the Kaiscrs
sons, all of whom have been engaged
in the war, supposedly at the front
since its beginning. Not a scratch
has mafred the beauty Of any of those
aforementioned noble warriors. Their
skin is too precious TO be exposed to
danger on the firing line. But they
can shout sic 'eml" as loud as any
of them from the rear ranks. Blood
tells in the Roosevelt family. So it
does among the Hohenzollerns. But
what a difference!

PRAISE FOR M'ARTHUR
Rainbow Commander Didn't Consider
Personal Safety in Battle.
IS Wilson and Poincare driv.

Washington, Dec. 28.-Brig. Gen.
Douglas Mac Arthur, commander of a
brigade of the Rainbow division, and
formerly chief of staff Of the division,
has thrice been officially recommend
ed for promotion to be major general.
In one of the most remarkable
documents ever filed in military an
mails, this daring young officer is
praised today by Major General Men
oher, who was Rainbow division lead
er and later Sixth Corps commander.
Needless OF personalsdanger. Mac
Arthur several times led his troops
personally, said Menoher.
This leadership-out front-caused
the division commander to write:
He has stood for the actual physi-
cal command of large bodies of troops
In battle, not day, but days duration,
and I believe, has actually commanded
larger bodies of troops on the battle
line than any officer in our army, in
each instance with conspicuous sue
cess.
His efforts have been untiring, I'M
interrupted and without the least re-
gard for his personal safety at each
of the many times when he felt his
personal leadership required his pres
ence in the thick of the struggle"
For instance, Macarthur, tho Sc
verely gassed on one occasion, refused
to permit his removal to a hospital,
but kept on with his duties. His
leadership was largely responsible for
the first break in the famous Kriem-
held position, it is said.

the English and Americans come.

1--WE haven't any confidence in our
leaders. We do not want disorder.
We should have a peace dictatorship
until things are organized, but we must
have men strong enough for the job.
