The senate today turned down a committee amendment to the appropriation bill to reduce their salaries to $7,500. Galo W. Blanco, grad., completes his article on the government of Porto Rico in this article. The central government of Porto Rico has control over the budget ac- counts of the municipal government. The 71 municipalities in the island are each governed by a mayor and a mun- icipal council of from five to nine members elected by popular vote. The right to vote is granted (1), to those who could vote before 1906 and (2), to natives who are 21 years of age and who can read and write. There are several political parties in P'orto Rico. The Republican party and the Union party are the most powerful ones. The final aim of the Republican party is to make Porto Rico a state of the Union while the advocates of the Union party are struggling bitterly for the independ- ence of the island and the right to govern themselves. Choose Own Representative The people of Porto Rico choose a native to represent the island in the house of representatives of the United States. He is known as the Resident commissioner and has power to debate but not to vote. As a rule the Resi- dent commissioner is chosen from among the leading political men of Porto Rico. The natives of Porto Rico are not citizens of the United States. When travelling outside of American terri- tory they have the protection of the United States government and are considered as American citizens. So far congress has not passed an act granting the Porto Ricans American citizenship. I believe that in the course of one or two years congress will make the people of Porto Rico cit- izens of this Republic. Such a step will undoubtedly be welcome by the majority if not all the Porto Ricans and it will mark a new era in the history of the "Pearl of the Antilles," as Porto Rico is often called. To my understanding the policy of the United States government has. been to allow the Porto Ricans to gradually govern themselves. Three years ago there were six Americans and five Porto Ricans in the execu- tive council. This menat an "Amer- ican" majority in the upper house and bills passed in the lower house were very often defeated in the upper house. At present, however, there are seven Porto Ricans and four Americans in the upper house. This gives the Porto Ricans a better chance to make their own laws, and it would be more satis- factory still if the governor did not have the veto power. Government Unsatisfactory Even with this state of affairs the people are not satisfied with the pres- ent form of government. A cause for just complaint lies in the fact that the better offices and positions are given to newly arrived Americans whether they are fitted or not to do the1 work satisfactorily. I wish to em- phasize that there are in Porto Rico very many political men who are highly educated, and who have a broad and clear conception of politics and prin- ciples of government. Why shouldn't these men fill the places which are now taken care of by Americans? For they are surely fitted to "do the job" as satisfactorily; as any American statesman who Unclei Sam chooses to send us. Why isn't the governorship of Porto Rico en- trusted to a Porto Rican? Why isn't a Porto Rican appointed commissioner of education? Is it be- cause there are not Porto Ricans com- petent enough to fill these positions? We certainly have a good choice of men for each office. If such is the case why aren't we allowed to govern ourselves? The people of Porto Rico could never be happy and contented to see our statesmen stand by the side and have Americans come and govern- us when we feel positively sure that we can do the work ourselves under the direction of the United States con- gress. Does Not Advocate Independence I am not an advocate of the inde- pendence of Porto Rico. Certainly, I am against it. The majority of the people still retain that individualistic character typical of the Spanish peo- ple. They lack team work and when this factor is absent co-operation is impossible and as a result there would be disagreement among themselves and a new leader would rise every day throwing the country into what would be perhaps an eternal revolution. Per- sonally, I would like to see Porto Rico become a state of the Union. If we are to be still governed by Am- ericans we ask for well trained men and above all for men who know and understand the peculiarities of the race and who can mix with the peple of Porto Rico and work for their wel- fare and prosperity. ASK STUDENTS TO, HELP IN WELCOMING SOLIERS ANN ARBOR TROOPS, INCLUDING SEVERAL UNIVERSITY MEN RETURN TODAY John C. Fischer, chairman of the welcome-home committee for the lo- cal guardsmen returning from muster- ing out at Fort Wayne, and Mayor E. M. Wurster of this city have issued an appeal to university students to turn out at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon at the armory to assist in receiving the troops. There are several university students in the local company. The University and the city bands will lead the procession from the armory. Many Ann Arbor merchants have signified their intentions of clos- ing their places of business for a short time in the afternoon to allow their employes to help in the welcoming ceremonies. The old University siren and the curfew will be blown when the Ann Arbor troops leave Detroit, and it is hoped that a large number of students will be on hand when the train rolls in this afternoon at the Michigan Central station. The company will be given a ban- quet at the armory next Wednesday evening. More than 700 tickets have been sold.

Tel. 2964 BATTLES IN CLOUDS TWO MILES ABOTE TRENCHES FRENCH "STAR ACE" AVIATOR BRINGS DOWN HIS 21ST GERMAN PLANE By Henry Wood (United Press Staff Correspondent.) With the French Armies, Jan. 18.- (Special) -Lieutenant Guynemer, "star ace" of the entire French aerial serv- ice, who recently brought down his twenty-first "officially confirmed" Ger- man airplane, established at the same time a new world's record for aerial combats, the air duel having taken place at an altitude of over two miles, after a chase of over 70 kilometers. The entire battle was one of the most dramatic air episodes that the entire war has produced. The French's undisputed mastery of the air, which now renders it prac- tically impossible for a German ma- chine ever to cross the French lines, has imposed on the French flyers the necessity of flying far back of the German lines to get in contact with the German machines. It was while on one of these hunts that Guynemer, flying at an altitude of over 13,000 feet and at a distance of over 70 kilo- meters behind the German lines, sighted a German squadron of two observation airplanes with an escort of two fighting machines, heading for the French lines. Follo vs Behind Clouds. There was nothing to prevent Guy- nenfer giving immediate battle except that should he be forced to land he would fall in the German lines. He therefore took refuge behind some friendly clouds until the German squadron should pass ahead of him, then started the pursuitsfrom behind, closing up sufficiently so that if he should be seen by the German anti- air craft gunners below, he would be taken merely for one of the German planes. For70 kilometers he kept up the pursuit, concealing himself as much as possible from the German machines by keeping behind the clouds. When the French lines at last appeared be- low him, he emerged in full view and began to fight. The German machine nearest him chanced to be an observa- tion plane and darting down on it he opened his machine gun fire at an al- titude of two miles. He killed the observer with his third bullet and with the tenth the pilot shot from the ma- chine dead and the plane began its whirling course down toward the French lines. Searches for Other Planes. Although the machine was the sec- ond one Guynemer had brought down that day, he at once started after the other three, but they in the meantime had disappeared toward their own lines. Guynemer, therefore, without further ado started in search of his victim and succeeded in locating the machine in the ravine of Mocourt, the plane itself shattered into fragments and the bodies of both the pilot and observer lying within a radius of 60 yards. The fight was witnessed by members of the American squadron who are now stationed where they have the advantage of witnessing some of the exploits of most of the crack "aces" of the French aerial service.

Liberty Street WILSON'S PHYSICIAN MADE NAVY MED1AL DIRECTOR Dr. Grayson Now Has Bank of Bear Admiral; Was President's Constant Companion Washington, Jan. 19.-Dr. Gary R. Grayson, private physician of Presi- dent Wilson, was honored today for four years of successfully keeping the president in condition by a promotion to medical director of the navy with the rank of rear admiral. The new position is one of two created by con- gress at its last session. Dr. Grayson now holds the rank of past assistant surgeon. Grayson was assigned to the White House during the Taft administration. He has been in constant attendance on President Wilson and members of his family for four years in addition to performing his work in connection with the naval hospital here. After the death of the president's first wife, Dr. Grayson became the al- most constant companion of President Wilson. During the courtship of the president and Mrs. Galt, Dr. Grayson was jocularly referred to as "the Cu- pid" of the romance. Later Grayson married Mrs. Galt's ward, Miss Alice Gertrude Gordon. Turks Repudiate Entente Statements Amsterdam, Jan. 19.-Turkish state- ments repudiate all statements of the entente in their reply to President Wilson. The note is almost identical with that the Germans sent the neu- trals, according to advices here today. WANTED WANTED-Two neat appearing young ladies for salesladies.
