pood.natured American boys No wonder the
French loved them for their looks and their ways
wondered if 1t was possible that they really could
fight and went delirious with ecstasy when they
put the Hun on the run and kept him going!
Well the generations to come, who cannot see
these American heroes in the flesh, will have the
chance to see few of these heroes in official por
traits.
Joseph Cummings Chase wellknown portrait
PAINTER who went overseas in October on spe-
cia mission for the War college, has returned.
He brought with him 142 portraits, including
complete set of likenesses of the American gen.
erals overseas-save four, which he will be COM
PEELED to paint here. There are u portraits of
generals so Of privates, "noncoms" and lieuten-
ants who performed especially noteworthy serV-
ice; 20 are pictures of officers of various grades.
Mr. Chase was selected by the War college TO
paint these portraits, which are to be Incorporated
into the official history of Americas participation
in the great war.
Doubtless the generals and other officers of high
rank are all imposing in looks but their portraits
have been published before 1t is quite likely pop
ular interest in these official portraits will run
largely toward those of the fighting men. Some
body said !: mo army is bigger than its buck
privates.'" He said something
The four portraits here reproduced out of is at
hand are the selection of the eteher and not of the
writer so it is clear that reproduction quality and
not the record of the soldier determined the
choice Yet this choice haphazard as to deeds,
shows clearly the marvellous qualities of the
American soldier. Here is what the four did, in
brief:
Lieut. Philip Benson, One Hundred and Eighty
fifth Aero Squadron.-During the last three weeks
of the fighting Lieutenant Benson made trips
nightly over German towns, dropping hundreds of
bombs and fred thousands of rounds of ammuni-
ton into Hun supply trains. OF the pursuit group
to which ne belonged only two pilots remained
alive His father is well-known New York arch
itect and his uncle is the famous painter, Frank
Benson Work like this requires different sort
of courage from that of the charge in the heat of
battle. Let your imagination 20 along with this
aviator alone in the heavens at night over the
enemy country, and make your own estimate of
this city boy, wellbred, educated and refined and
of native American stock. Keep in mind, too, that
aviators have to be just about 100 per cent per-
feet mentally and physically, and in sense are
volunteers.
Corn Misczysaw Brock, Company B, Sixteenth
Infantry. First Division.-South of scissors on
July 81, Corporal Brock came to the conclusion
that the Germans had too many machine guns. He
pieked out the two that were causing the heaviest
losses to his company, went out single handed
and captured those two particular guns with
every Boche pertaining thereto His citation says
this was only one incident of Corporal Brocki's
activities This man is OF Polish birth or blood
according to Chase-evidently one Of those stem

fence, knows and has known the Inn
portance of building for the future
as well as the present.
The first thing a railroad does after
obtaining a right-of-way, as everyone
knows. is to build a roadbed and lay
tracks. That roadbed is put in to
stay. The track, which corresponds
to the surface of the highway, Is built
of the most substantial and practical
material to be had.
The railroad officials, however, do
not expect this roadbed and track to
last forever without attention. Long
ago they learned that the only way
to assure safety and durability is to
anticipate depreciation and make con-
slant repairs.
That is inst what we are coming to
in road building. For years it has been
customary for county engineers to
direct such operations but for the
most part their work has been ham,
pered by lack of funds, and made
quate force or by limited legislation
and more or less red tape. There are
some states in which farmers are still
working out their road tax by the day.

less haphazard fashion for the con-
struction of roads: upon theif efforts
and those of limited force Of hired
workers depends the maintenance az
the community's highways.

Before and After.

They were both suffragists-one very
pretty and young and the other much
older. The older one voiced her views
very emphatically for the younger
ones benefit. 81 think it's very
impractical for women to get married
before they are thfrty-five," she said.
The young suffragist retorted In
stantly, "Yes, and think it's very Inn
possible for them to get married after
they are thirty-five."

the Hun showed it was made
up of heroes.
How do these incredible
young fighting Americans
look and act and have their
being? Why, you know.
You see these heroes every
day-either actual or poten-
tial. They are coming back
by the thousands, tens of
thousands, hundreds of thou

as they cid when they went
overseas - the able-bodied
ones. You can see changes,
