One of Uncle Sans Bows.

Although he had twice been unable
to make his way through a steam
filled compartment, Walter D. McLea,
a chief machinist's mate, national ma
val volunteers, United States navy,
made third go at it, and with sue
cess. In doing this he prevented a
much more serious accident, and for
his valor has been commended by the
secretary of the navy. The engine
room had been filled with live steam
when the breaking of the tiller carried
away the exhaust lines Of the steering
engine. At the first alarm McLea
tried to enter the compartment where
the steam was escaping, but it was
not until he had made three trips
down the ladder that he was success
full in stopping the flow. McLea went
into the navy April s, 1917, entering
the naval volunteers at Erie, Pa.

The daily morning oasis. [volume] (Nogales, Ariz.) 1917-1920, 1918-08-18

German timidity before American
pistol fighters armed with American
.a5-caliber automatic pistols has
brought about q change in the equip
ment of the American Expedtionary
forces by the war department and the
ordnance department is rushing pro-
duction of these weapons. About 5000
are turned out daily and production is
increasing. The impression exists that
shot from an American .45 takes
man out of action completely Men
hit from the smaller German pistols
frequently continue in action effec-
lively. The .45 caIiber was adopted
by the United States army in 1911.
Despite the heavy increased demand
for these pistols the ammunition
branch of the ordnance department
has effected saving during the past
two calendar months Of nearly $4,000
900, mostly on small-arms ammunition.
The total savings by the ordnance
department for these two months
through salvage, waste prevention and
the utilization or sale of discarded ma
terials have aggregated $S,757 OPS.
Cost of vickers machine guns has been
reduced $322.35 each; Colt machine
guns, $294.16 each Lewis machine
guns, $50 EACH Government rifles
now cost 500 each, reduction of $13
each.

JUDGE MILES RESIGNS

Probate Judge E. H. Miles has re-
signed his position as Probate Judge
in order to accept a position in the
Stockgrowers Mercantile establishment
Judge Miles decided that the trouble
and grief connected with the office
was not commensurate with the salary
and so was willing to pass 1t along.
The board of commissioners last Tues
day met and appointed Judge j. l..
Fuller to fill the unexpired term.
Judge Miles has filled the office with
great credit to himself and his consti-
tuents and all who have had business
with that office during his term will
regret that he found 1t necessary TO
resign. AS to Judge Fuller 1t Is un-
necessary for the Journal to speak a
word in his praise. He has filled the
Office In the past for many years and
brings to it now ripe experience which
will be OF especial value in protecting
the interests OF widows and children
in settling estates. While there may
be people who sometimes doubt his
there is no one who ques-
tions his integrity of purpose and fear
less action in the exercise of his ju-
dicial duties.

George Edward Schroeder, loyal

southern Idaho, T. giving Boise a
glimpse OF e bit Of his suDlmers work
in the picturesque places Of Idaho.
"Slumber Time" apparently 50 named
because the drowsiness OF late summer
hangs over the scene and the gold and
russet OF changing leaves and crisping
srsss which enrich the picture with
their glowing tints, seem to silently
suggest the somnolence OF nature, the
prelude OF the long sleep OF winter.
Mr. Schroeder Is a poet In his oonces-
tion OF natures miracles OF light and
shadow, OF form and color, and we
must respect him for his sincerely.
George Schroeder has struggled to

his high ideals, once forsaken him.

which would crush most men. and put
them out Of the race he has kept faith
with himself and gone bravely on to
greater endeavor. His intense loyalty
to American traditions and American
ideals is 4 strong element in his na-
ture.
Pioneer Homesteader
A pioneer homesteader on one Of the
southern Idaho projects with head
quarters at Hepburn, Mr. Schroeder
has known all the vicissitudes and pri-
vations Of frontier life. He has been

which he lives and his work has
gained for him friends and favorable
criticism in high circles OF artistic ac-
complishment in the east So muck
50 that he is now selling his pictures
at good prices in the large art centers
The painting now on exhibition in the
show window of Cunningham's book
store on Main street is a fair example
Of Mr.. Schroeder in forest scenes.
Tenderness Expressed
There Is much tenderness and a
subtle feeling expressed that the artist
lived for time in very close commua-
ion with his subject. There is, too,

shadows. the purple distances and soft
atmospheric effects. The mysticisa
