good-natured American boys No wonder the
French loved them for their looks and their ways,
wondered If 1t possible that they really could
fight and went delirous with ecstasy when they
put the Hun on the run and kept him going!
Well, the generations to come, who cannot
these American heroes in the flesh, will have the
chance to a few of these heroes in official por-
traits
Joseph Cummings Chase well-known portrait
painter who went overseas in October a spe-
cal mission for the War college, has returned.
He brought with him 142 portraits, including
complete set of likenesses of the American gem
erals overseas-save four which he will be COM
PEELED to paint here. There 72 portraits of
generals, so of privates, "noncoms" and lieuten-
ants who performed especially noteworthy serv-
ice; 20 pictures of officers OF various grades
Mr.. Chase selected by the War college to
paint these portraits, which to be Incorporated
into the official history of Americas participation
in the great
Doubtless the generals and other officers of high
rank all imposing in looks, but their portraits

uar 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 lS at
hand the selection Of the etcher and not of tho
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 Lieutepant Benson made trims
nightly over German towns, dropping hundreds of
bombs and fired thousands of rounds of a1nmuni-
tion into Hun supply trains. OF the pursuit group
to which he belonged, only two pilots remained
alive His father is a 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 go along with this
aviator, alone In the heavens at night over the
enemy country, and make your 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
Corp. Msczyslaw Brocki Company B. Sixteenth
Infantry First Divsion.-South of Sossons on
July 81 Corporal Brock came to the concluston
that the Germans had too many machine guns He
picked out the two that 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

ASHURsT AGAIN BUSY

We note that Senator Henry Ashurst of Arizona has renewed his resolution the United States Senate for the acquiring by this country of Lower California and part of Sonora and regarding this the Tucson Citizen says:
 ''There has been considerable opposition to prOpOsi ton in Mexico and it has been argued that there is sttutona provision against it. We heard of any official in Mexico who let the constitution stand in his way. and besides constitutions easily changed.
 'The deal proposed by Senator Ashurs would not in way harm the republic of Mexico anyone in it. and besides would provide for that country to get rid of territory which little to its prosperity and which it has only meager control far the nation is concerned The sale of Lower California and the suggest ed portion of Sonora would give the United States much desirable increase in coast ne This sale would also able Mexico provide for the payment of the large dam age done Americans during the revolution in that try When this damage is finally tOtaled it will be stu penous in amount There is increased demand for pay
 ent of these damages and more and insisent will people be for settlement of these claims after the world peace terms have been agreed to and the countries of the world take their positions for the condition of peace promised for the future.
 ''Snce the policy of mo annexation and no lndem- mites has been abandoned. in hopes that the Ar- Senator will make some headway with his proposal which if carried out. would mean much to the South west.

Maybe Clarence H. Mackay, president of the Postal Telegraph Co.,. is right, and maybe Postmaster Burle- is right; but certainly Mr. Mackays telegraph rate argument makes stronger appeal to the public than Mir Burleson's.

THE PRICE OF SILVER
(The Hartford COurant)

Most of while acltcly interested in the price of things have failed notice that the price of silver is rising and has reached the point where the gov stamp upon the coin adds little to its value. It is said since 1877.
 This is interesting to those who have the metal for sale but if the metal should progress until 1t reaches the price of 1 2929 silver dollar would be worth dollar at it's bullion value and the slightest advance about that fig ure would see rapid disappearance of silver coinage Statutes against transformation of coin into bullion would not wholly prevent the evil and disappearance of small coin would result For this if for other. the government will watch the silver quotations with keen interest and in the meantime it will reflect that melted silver dollars at great last fall. The mining cOmpan ies will also watch the market and thank whatever gods there for this sudden demand for their products too, with their stockholders.
