herolsm, an unflinching courage and a devotion to country, as manifest in the dry eyes and suppressed voice of the mother and the patient sigh of the father, as they told of their boys death for the cause of freedom.
 One home there was, where the col lege lads trunk was opened to obtain the photo, a trunk filled with memen- tos of his college life-a sweater which said the mother as she stroked it lov- ingly, "he wore only once" before the fatal fall from cloudless heights to the soil of Kelly Field. whence rose a heIo's spirit on swift winged flight to meet the praise of 8. soldiers God.
 Another home where d. lad, just in his early twenties, went forth to war at his country's call, a lad who looked heavenward from an aero o-training ground in France and saw a plane whirling downward in flames. The strapped-in flyer himself was in flames, but needless of that, this coun- try boy from the homeland rushed in, unstrapped the belt and threw his comrade to one side, then himself re- received the full force of the exploding gasoline and was burned to death. Is it any matter of wonder that the moth CTS face lit with 8 glory almost heav- eIily as she spoke of her boy?

There are duties which deVolYe upon the reporter for a newspaper, some hard and others easy, some coming in the ordinary run of a days work, oth- CTS where he is called to record the more tender emotions of the sacred amily circle.
 But of all the duties that have been placed before the news gatherers for The Republican. none have been more fraught with sadness than that of obtaining the photos of the dead sol dier boys and securing from relatives the details of their life and death.
 It was @ hard task, for in each home entered it meant the jarring afresh the wrenched heart strings of fathers and mothers who had seen their manly sons go forth to war. It meant the search ing through sacred relics for the like ness of the boy who will never come back, but who sleeps in a world beloved grave meath the poppies of Flanders.
 The reporter mission was a holy one for it served to present to the living soldiers returned from the front the roll of their comrades who did just one thing more than their more for tunate brethren, in that the supreme sacrifice was made. Yet, despite this fact. it was trying task, one that brought before the news mans vision a wondrous patriotism, a marvellous

Cadet Roy NJ Smith of the aviation corps was accidentally killed at Kelly Field in September, 1918. when his plane went wrong while flying at a height of $500 feet. The remains were brought to Phoenix for interment, bur ial being made in Greenwood cemetery.
 When Cadet smith enlisted in the service early in 1918. at the age of 23 years, he was in his sophomore year at the William Jewell college in Liber- ty, Mo. where, after entry into the service, he took ground training for aviation.
 The cause of the accident which re- suited in his death has never been def initely determined. He was flying at a height of $500 feet when his machine suddenly went wrong and he crashed to the earth. The accident took place just one month before he was to have re- ceived his commission.
 He was the son of Rev. and Mrs. T. M. Smith, of Chandler.

Arizona, Uncle sans baby common ! wealth, stands al the head of the list of states in contributions to the great world war. Stands first, Ii you please, 1 in the matter of human contributions.
 No greater sacrifices hath any state made than Arizona She gave her sons, her sons of the golden west. 10 that cause which Uncle Sam, in his wisdom, deemed a world menace. She gave them on the threshold of humanity and many of them paid in full.
 And the fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, wives and sweethearts or these men-they're Arizonans through and through Bravely they fought the battles with their sons, brothers, hus- bands and sweethearts. Consciously have they watched lifes light flicker, blaze for a moment and then die out.
 Official military records indicate that at least one out of every three Arizona men eligible for active military service in the war either were in France or in training for overseas duty when the war closed. The percentage was really more than that because hundreds of men from this state men above the first draft age, entered the service at the outbreak of hostilities while many youths. under the first draft age, like wise entered the service before they were obliged to register under the se- lective service regulations.
 Official figures secured from the ot- flee of the adtutant general show that a total of 94,310 Arizona men regis tered under the first and second selec- live service regulations. Of this mum her, 37609 were aliens, and aliens, un- der the regulations, were not qualified 10 serve under the draft. They could volunteer but they could not be drafted.
 Deducting the number of alien reg isuants from the grant total, leaves J6,701 men who were subject to the draft But of this number if must be remembered that there were thousands of sick who could not qualify.
 Military statistics in Arizona disclose that approximately 9 out of every 1GG men physically examined were unfit for service in any capacity. Using this as an average, there would be approxi- inately 15,000 out of the 56,701 regis trant5 who could not possibly serve This leaves about 41,O0O men qualified to serve in the great national army anC the navy. with their allied branches.
 Statistics show that at the time ot the close of the war Arizona had 1,41( sons in the service. But there were in reality, several hundred more tha1 that-probably one or two thousand more.
 Of the grand total, S,113 were mem bers of the great national army. Tn, regular army was third in the list, 46. Arizona men choosing that branch O

 The national guard of Arizona had 951 members when it was admitted to federal service August 5, 1917. Allied branches of the two major services claimed many recruits from this state, however, but the figures do not appear herein.
 The navy proved the most attractive of the volunteer service, 1,269 men from this state aiding Uncle Sam in putting them safely across"
 June ,, 1917, was the date of the first national registration and on that date. 3S,30S Arizona men officially notified Uncle sam that they were ready"
 Two registrations were held in the middle of 1918 for boys who attained their majority during the year. The first was held in June and the second in August and the total registrants for the two was 2,209. The second great registration was held Sept 12, 1918 for all men between the ages of IS and 45.
