Oh, the EnKliuh an’ the Irish an’ the 'owlln' Scotties, too. The Canucks and Austrllee-uns nn' the ’airy French pollu— The only thing that bothered us in all our staggerin’ ranks Was wot in ’ell would ’appen w’en the ’Uns ’ad ’it I the Yanks. 4 HE United States of America Is pre paring an illustrated history of the great war which will tell exactly f what happened when the Huns hit the Yanks. In the meantime con gress hns picked out a few sample fighting Yanks and awarded them the Medal of Honor, not for doing their mere duty, but for "conspicu ous gallantry and Intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty." In- XZ cldentnlly, this list could be easily doubled and trebled. Airuin: The nuines of Ainericun soldiers who wear other American, British and French decorations are legion; six of the 12,000 Americans who fought with the Canadians were awarded the Victoria Cross, the British decoration correspond ing to the Medal of Honor. One out of 15,400 sol diers in action received the Medal of Honor. 1 would like to see the otliclul citations setting forth the acts of supreme courage of each of these 78 medalists printed In full In every newspaper In the land. I would like to see these citations made Into n text-hook and put into the public schools. I am not bloodthirsty, but I approve efficiency, even in killing Huns. And I think such a book would be nn incentive to patriotism to every red blooded American boy and girl—our future citi zens. As it Ib, there is space for little here besides the names of the medalists. Study the list and And out many interesting things for yourself. You will note, for instance, that 21 are officers and 57 enlisted men. Nineteen paid the price with their lives. New York leads with nine; Illi nois is second with seven, and California, Missouri, New Jersey, South Carolina and Tennessee share third honors with six each. Military experts have long regarded the Marines the most efficient lighting men of all the armies of the world. Nevertheless, 39 of the medals go to the men of the National Guards; 23 to men of the selective draft organizations, 18 to regular urmy and marine units, 2 to the tank corps and 1 to the air service. By divisions, the Thirtieth leads with 12 medals; it is the National Guurd organization of the Caro llnas and Tennessee. Second honors go to the Eighty-ninth division, which is the selective draft unit of western Missmirl, Kansas, Nebroska, Colo rado, South Dakota and New Mexico. The third is the Thirty-third or National Guard Division of Illinois. Fourth honors go to the famous Second division of regulars, which includes the marines, while fifth place is shared by the two New York divisions, the Twenty-seventh and the Seventy seventh. Sergeant Ellis, u regular, put in a whole day far In advance of the first wave of his company re ducing machine-gun nests single-handed. He killed many of the enemy and captured ten muchlne guns and more thun 50 prisoners. Lieutenant Woodfill, also a regular, reduced three separate machine-gun nests, killing at least 12 of the enemy with rifle and pistol and finally two with a pick. Lieutenant Luke, an elghteen-year-old volunteer aviator, destroyed 18 enemy aircraft in 17 days. Wounded and forced to make a landing, he killed attacking Germans with his pistol until he fell. Sergeant York was originally a sincere consci entious objector. He was convinced from the Bible that "blessed are the peacemakers." So he went over to help moke peace. He killed 24 of the enemy with rifle and pistol, put a whole machine gun battalion out of business and marched 182 prisoners back to the American lines. Every possible kind of courage was shown by these medalists. Roberts, when his tank slid into a flooded shell hole, deliberately gave his life to save his gunner. Blackwell gave his life in a vol unteer uttempt to get through heavy fire with a message. Whittlesey is the "Go to hell" officer of Argonne fame, who would not surrender. Loman wears also the Victoria Cross, Legion of Honor, the Medallle Mlllltalre and the Croix de Guerre. Don't forget the cartoon in which the one-armed hero and the potential hero w’ho never got to the firing-line are each saying "You ludky guy!" And don’t forget ths potential heroes.

RECOGNIZED THAT ART WORK Profiteer Picked Out Wrong Man to Boast About Picture He Had "Picked Up.” A Kansas City profiteer moved Into bis gaudy new home last week, and last night was piloting a salaried friend around through the new rugs and furniture. As they entered the “library,” the profiteer pointed with great pride to n lurid picture 6 by 8, on the wall, and said: “How d’ye like that for art? I’m ashamed to tell you how cheap I got that down at the art shop the other day. See that torn place In the cor ner? That was made, the dealer said, by one o' them German looters In the Thirty-Year war.” “The denier was mistaken,” observed the salaried friend. “It was another war. It was made by a beer bottle I threw myself. 1 never could stand that picture, especially when I was lit up. Grogan's bnrtender kicked me clear across the sidewalk the night I heaved 1 that bottle.
