PROVES HERO DESPITE
HIS SEVERE WOUNDS
Private McFogleson Rescues
Wounded Lieutenant, Is
Twice Shot, But Manages
to.Save Officer's Life.
The bloody field of Chateau Thierry
gave to one Memphis hp" a hero's
crown and again proved the stuff of
which Tennessee's eons are made.
Although twice wounded Private
Frank P. McFogleson, Jr., clung to his
injured lieutenant and, crawling
through a storm of machine gun fire,
dragged him to a place of safety In a
shell hole.
Young McFogelson spied his wounded
lieutenant and hurried to his rescue.
White aiding him off the fie'd he was
struck in the left leg by a machine
gun hullet. The soldier fell, but clung
to his companion and although unable
to walk, pulled himself along the
ground, dragging the officer with him.
Another bullet plowed through his left
foot, but still he held to his comrade,
and continued crawling until both tum
bled into tho comparative safety of u
shell hole.
With the modesty that accompanies
true heroism, McFogleson refrained
from any mention of the defd. The
story of his bravery reached his mother

Birmingham, a T. M. C. A. worker who
has just returned form "over there"

own wound, would not leave his lieu

GIST OF
WAR NEWS
Smashing blows are being dealt the
Germans on the weitern front and the
collapse of the present enemy defense
positions apears close st hand.
In the Italian theater hostilities were
to end today at 3 p. m. 9 o'clock Mon
day morning In the Eastern United
States but up to that hour the Italian
and allied forces continued to press the
Austrian on the entire front, the ad
vices Indicated.
On the rtorthern end of the front In
France, Field Marshal Halg on Monday
morning launched a new attack south
of the Scheldt In the region of Valen
ciennes, The operation began success
fully on a wide front and this vital
sector of the German positions Is In
great peril.
The French army maintains Its pres.
sure but fighting activity Is lest than
on Sunday and last week. German ar
tillery has been active along the Alsns
front, probably protecting an enemy
retirement, which Is Inevitable In view
of the allied success north and east.
Gen. Pershing's, armies are pressing
forward east and west of the Meuse
and the Germans apparently are not
yet prepared to make a stand. Stenay
and the gap In which It lies Is being
encircled and Its fall would appear to
be near.
In the center of the sector west of
the Meuse the American First army
has driven forward to Sommauthe, 13
miles south of Sedan, the most Impor
tant German railway center between
Mezleres and Metz.
LATEST EVIDENCE OF
HUN CRUELTY IS SHOWN
AMSTERDAM. Nov. 4. Belgian -and
French refugees who crossed the Dutch
frontier before It was closed during

form of German cruelty is the separa

families within sight of the land of
deliverance. They had been permitted
to travel eastward with their wives
and children until the last stage vas
reached and there they were detained.
The old men and women and children
were allowed to proceed across the
border.
Families arriving from Valenciennes
and Conde tell stories which leave no
