THE BdAVERY OF OCR OFFICERS. The official records of the War De | pnrtment so far as they have been completed, show that thlrly-three commissioned officers and 231 enlisted men of the army were killed during the war with Spain. These figures Include the men lost In Manila at we 11 aB lo Culm and Por to Rico. The comparative number of officer* ami enlisted men present another high tribute to American arms It shows that the leaders really led —that they were in the forefront of the battle. U Is said that the percentage of of ficers killed lg the largest ever known in any of the battles of the world. The contrast presented by the battle of Omdurman fought last week, gal lant and deadly as It was, Is very striking, for In that conflict, while the loss of life was very heavy, only one officer was killed. It will be a tong time before we ful ly reallce how great was the achieve ment of American arms in the recent war.
