Let us not be deceived or unduly elated by the news of the exploits of our soldiers in France. Only few hundreds were en- gagged in these fine successes. Not until we have borne alone the shock of a full strength German offensive over a consid- erable section of front can we completely gauge the ability of our fighting men in Europe. But we have made fine start. If we outfought them by hundreds, we should be able to outright them by thou sands And the battles of this week mean that Americans will soon be called from French and English training camps by the thousand to get into the fray. Our boys met the first real test in brilliant fashion. Their work will be enlarged and made more severe. Kitchener English mob met the same test two years ago when Douglas Haig sent them forward in the Somme cam paign. And when the final battle in de- fense of Paris comes 1t may be expected that American troops will be in the front ranks in much larger numbers than the French generals would have dared to risk a few weeks ago. Catigny and Chateau Thierry proved American valor and steadi- ness.

 At the monthly meeting c. the Stronghold Far Bureau Center held last Friday night, 9 service flag con- taining twelve stars was unfurled, one of them a gold star in commemoration of Samuel C. Havin, son of Mir. and Mrs. A. J. Havin. Claude, as he was known to everyone, enlisted in the ambulance corps early last summer, receiving his training at torl Bliss, going from there direct to France where he passed away on the 24th of January from pneumonia. The other eleven names on the flag are for Allan Benedict Virgil Scofeld, August Junge, Charlie Junge, Lloyd Burney Jay Furrey, Everett Furrey, Fred Vain, Leslie Jack, Allen Waite and Pernell Giffin. Pauline Pennick and Evelyn Wilson. the youngest members of the Red Cross at that place, un turled the flag which was then hung on the wall where it will occupy a promi. nent place in the meetings of the Stronghold bureau, and all members Of the association are very proud of a service flag bearing twelve stars from so small a community.

OUR SOLDIER IS 4 TYPE
Paris Tells Him by His Talk His Build His Teeth and Humor Although Our Fighters Are Mixture of All Nation alties at the Front They Stand Out as
 Americans

l (LeonOra Raines in the N. Y. Sun) Just now in Paris there is abundant | opportunity for the study of the inter national type. One cannot walk q | block without brushing against SO. diers representing many nationalities Sometimes it takes an expert to pick out the country of the soldiers birth, for since the beginning of the war an uniforms have been modified and tile changes have wiped out many points of difference. One is often at a loss to spot a POrtugese, Italian, Serbian or MOntenegran man of arms, for these men bear Q close facial resemblance to each other. The average Montena- gran is tall and well built, but so are many Serbians, and that is what con- fuses one.
 The Russian soldiers and their of- ficers continue to wear their uniforms and while they don't appear as light hearted and debOnnaire as they used to, they are in the service of the Allies and their loyalty is unprecedented. The common soldier stands out somewhat from the rest because of his large features. He is a big man generally and his uniform is simpler than the others.
 The Italian no longer sports the hat with the plumes, at least not in Paris. The feather was very iaunty and cU- quettish, but it did not take well 10 wind and rain, and the hat has been supplemented by a neat cap that gives the soldier a clean cut and military appaarauca Tho Officarc still hold fO their long blue cape, and when they saunter down the avenue all eyes are turned in admiration, for the cloak IS certainly the most stunning thing in the army, and il is no wonder coutur- ies are continually copying it for wOm- en.
 All Officers "English"
 The American, English, Australian and Canadian soldiers now dress so much alike and really bear such a strcng resemblance to each other that one has to look twice to make out their nationality. This is particularly the case with the officers, and many French people class them all as Eng lish." It is mostly in restaurants that these men congregate, and from 6 o'clock, when the Yankee appears on the scene, til 9. when the last Britons rush in before the doors are closed, the scene is one Of khaki. The other day we asked the waitresses in mucn frequented place in the Latin Quarter how they could differentiate as to na- tionalities. One girl spoke up glibly, answering: q know American men

HE GOT OUT ON THE LIMB AND
 SAWED IT OFF

This newspaper man has heard the old story of the man that got out on the limb and then sawed it off and spent the next few weeks in arnica splints and reflection. But he never met this man. It was an old story and shrouded in mist and legend until it had become shOpworn and the price mark of truth pretty well obliterated. Eut along comes circumstance and brushes up this old story and sets it in the front window with fresh mark of truth written upon its title page, and now the newspaper man is in- clined to believe that there must have been some foundation for the original story, after all. There must have been such a man, for the newspaper man met his brother the other day. And he is no less a parsonage than E. A CrOcker of Warren, the Copper Queen man who builded a castle on the highest hill on the townsite.
 Crocker has had a rather eventfUl career all the way from Canada down to the Mexican border, and more than held his own against man, beast and misfortune until he climbed up on his castle the other day to build a roof garden or sleeping porch or some kind or piaIsance around the turrets oI the aforesaid castle. Now Crockeh be it understood, and his brothers. built this castle from mOat and dun geon to the glitteTing point of the high est vane, and all without mishap. Crocker also submitted to the sur geon's knife a short time ago and emerged from an appendicitic opera tion within a few days as fresh and fine and frisky as boy coming out of a candy shop. But he went down and out for the count on this simple roof garden venture. It happened in this way:
 Crocker up-ended a ladder against the end of a scantling somewhere up about the topmost turret of his castle and climbed the ladder with a big saw and proceeded to saw off the scant- ling Anyway, that is as near as Crocker can figure it out. He is bit hay about the entire affair. but his friends are not. They are sure it was a case of climbing out on the limb and saving eff the limb.
 Anyway CrOcker fell off the top of his castle and over the watch tower and the portcullis and through the drawbridge, clear down to the moat. The ladder and the big saw fell with nim; also the end piece of the Scdnt

The new C. & A. hospital that crowns the hill just this side of Warren will be for mally opened today. It marks an import ant epoch in the districts growth and de- velopment, for if great mining company has the faith and public spirit to build one hundred thousand dollar structure in the district devoted alone to purposes of healing and mercy, and not for mere gain, then the average citizen may well cast aside his doubts and dig in and build up and set tie down upon permanent basis. It Is the development and improvement of this rich and populous community that are needed more than anything else now. We should make every effort to beautify to make our mountain home a more pleasant place in which to live. Trees, parks. streets, side walks, lights, driveways, these may come slowly, but they will surely come. The new hospital stands on this hill as a show place. It is the last word in building and in mod ern convenience. And aside from its own worth and benefit it will stimulate those improvements that add to the beauty and the comfort and the happiness of the dis trict

and women because they show their teeth so much" And another propI ed: "Yes, and because the teeth are so plugged with gold"
 Another girl gave as her reason for spotting the American the fact that he spoke through his nose. Still another waitress chimed in and said her Amer ican soldier was always in good hum or, and she added that if she had an-- doubt about his nationality sine had only to cast her eyes at his well shOd feet; also, that the American was the best built and straightest of all the Allies. He looks just as if he wore corsets," she added with conviction.
 The head waitress told us that she could pick out a Yankee because of his clean shaved face; that her American clients had "the proud look" and that they met the eyes of one calmly ana fearlessly.
 Wants Square Treatment
 The proprietor of the establishment became interested in the discussion, and as it was early and there were few diners on hand, he came over to hear what the waitresses thought O.; the subject Finally, when his test for the American was asked, he gave the time worn but true one: %'Because he speaks French with an English ac- cent" A moment later he added: My Americans all want to be treated squarely, and everyone here knows he won't take any fooling. I say with out the least hesitation that of all our soldiers he is the most reasonable, as we'll as the most polite. He is not a great talker. Other men meet and chat, but he only eats"
 All this may suggest that America has finally evolved a distinctive type of man, though there is no fixed rule that may be applied. Those whose all cestors have been Americans for many generations bear the print of the coun- try. Savants who believe in the SCI ence of manners and physiognomy might accord the above serious atten- tion. An American who has travelled and observed the types of all coun- tries does not have great difficulty in a foreign land picking out his conl- patriot. The children who landed ln America and have become citizens ana are now fighting for Uncle Sam may be singled out almost at a glance, though often the soldiers of foreign born parents strongly carry the Iea- lures and general air of their forefatn- CTS. "The American look must after all be the expression or the shaping of features which climate and inde- pendence impart.

A SOLDIERS MOTHER

When the bulletins announcing the sinking of ships off the American coast by U-boats were posted in front of the Review office day or two ago, many people gathered quickly to read them. Among these was a woman of middle age with strong, patient face, black straw hat, white waist and black skirt-an average type of that grandest of institutions, an American mother. Pretty soon she left the bull letin board and entered the Review office Walking straight up to the newspaper man she asked him in a low calm voice if any transports had been sunk. Her face expressed nOth- ing beyond the deep interest any good American man or woman would take in this blow at life and property off cur very shores.
 The newspaper man told this wom- an who was looking at him so earnest ly that there was as yet no news of the loss of transport, but that the tally of missing ships was not com plete.
 My boy expected to sail from an Atlantic port a week ago." said the woman. "and if he did his ship may have been" and she stopped here as her voice broke under her emotion. Then she gathered herself together and bravely faced the worst. He ex- pected to sail last Tuesday" she said. Do you think it possible his ship could have been sunk?"
 The newspaper man did not. His ship should have landed in France by this time, he thought, and told her so.
 Thank GOdl" exclaimed the moth CT, and her face relaxed a little from its tense lines. But the set express ion instantly returned. "Ah. this is only the beginning of his dangers" she said. "On sea and land he must face them. And l come up town every day to your bulletin board with a feel ing l cannot describe
 The newspaper man tried to mum ble a sentence of sympathy. No, that's not it," instantly replied the woman. q wanted my boy to go. I'm glad he has gone. If l have my distress of waiting and watching for bad news, l also have my pride in my boy who has gone to France. That is the place for all real boys these days"
 And. speaking of real boys, how is this for a real mother? II there are real American boys in France, there are also real American mothers at home Big, strong, true women; the essence of all that is fine and worth while in the present and the hope of the future days of a nation.

Steadily this great nation is gathering itself together and gaining fresh, momen- tum every day in its war program. Delays, blunders, inefficiency, confusion, these are numbered with the past. Our factories are now turning out munitions and rifles and machine guns and cannon and airplanes and tanks at rate that will soon be felt upon the western front Our shipyards have at last reached the stage of production They launched seventy-five ships in the past thirty days and bid fair to launch more than one hundred in the next thirty. We have two million men called to the colors and a quarter of million more on the way. In fact America has just found herself. She IS now justifying the fond hopes and national pride of a year ago. This is the kaiser's time. Let him make the most of it, for the signs point to an American mill tary and industrial host that will soon change that western front forever and for aye.

Hunt, having started the fight, is now perfectly willing to cry enough. The legis- lature is against him, the press Is against him and public opinion generally is against him. Only few dyed in the wool politi- cians his office holders, the wobblies and the more radical of the labor element still cling to the sadly battered hulk that tried to batter through the reefs of good citizenship and patriotism and wage bitter war upon one of the most populous and productive communities of the state. Hunts radical ism is out of date in war time, and even he is beginning to glimpse the light ahead and hunt for cover

 The new home of the road camp is now firmly established and in good working order More hunks are be- ing built to take care of the rapidly increasing population of the resort.

 Billy" Schmidt, brakeman on the | Tombstone run of the E. P. & $. w. | left yesterday for Los Angeles and other beach resorts where he will spend several weeks on a 3O-day leave of absence. While in Los Angeles Billy will look up Bill Hattich, and ether former Tombstonites, who are | familiar with the numerous sights about the city. since the Los Angeles thirst emporium went out of business. George Scheerer, son of Mir. and | Mrs. Jacob Scheerer of Douglas, has | received a commission as second lieu tenant in the national army. Lieuten- ant SCheerer is stationed at Camp Cor Gon, Va. Before his enlistment he was employed by the government as a skilled farmer, having graduated from the University of Arizona He is also | a graduate of the Douglas high school
 Capt. w. II. McKittrick arrived from Bakersfield Friday and will spend a couple of weeks here. He will ship quite a bunch of cattle He stated the conditions on the coast were not the best and that the extremely cold weather had retarded crops greatly He had planted quite an acreage Of corn, but the cold spring would nee essitate replanting a good portion of it. He felt that the conditions here were considerably above what it was on the coast.
 It is estimated that Wilcox and vi cinity will, during the year 1918, shir cattle amounting to close to a million dollars The cattle industry is still the leading enterprise in that section With the high prices production is be ing stimulated and but few of the stock is sold. More cattle will be the result from year to year. Cattlemei have also found that by arranging fol pastures and raising forage crops fol an emergency their herds can be in creased and also be protected Iron losses in dry seasons. The cattle busi ness has come to stay and will always be a great industry in Arizona.
