VVTHO Is the bravcst man that
W. the war has produced?
1t would probably be I'M
possible to answer this question with
any approach to accuracy and impair
tia lily. But it is interesting to com
pare some of the incidents rcported
and see how modern courage COM
pares with that OF past history.N
1T IS GenerSlly admitted that all
the nations engaged have fought
with remarkable bravery and stead
ness. so that man must have done
some extraordinarily daring action
to make himself notable. Thousands
and thousands OF acts OF bravery
have been performed by many among
the millions OF soldiers engaged
Doubtless some OF the most heroic
have died without having their acts

not The case
Many of the famous deeds of an
tiquity have been curiously mar.
al!eled in the war For instance. one
OF the ancient feats that everybody
mentions occasionally was how the
brave HoratiuS held the bridge
across the Tiber with two compan
ions against the whole Etruscan
army
Now we find again and again that
q bridge has been the scene of deeds
or conspicuous heroism in this war.
The British were defending n river
oank and bridge against fierce
German attack. The crew of q
British Maxim GIN had al been
killed. Then Angus Macleod, of the
Gordon tiighlanders. rose from cover.

OF the bridge. where he played it on
the advancing Germans.
lie is credited with having killed
sixty Germans. Finally he fell dead
and thirty bullets were counted In
his body. The delay enabled the
British to rally and rcpcl their Oh.
ponents.
An extraordinary act of heroism
was reported OF an unnamed French
soldier during the disastrous retreat
OF the French from the Belgian from
tier and the Meuse River early in
the war.
This man had been taken prisoner
with some com anieS. The Germans.
according TO the report, drove their
prisoners before them when attcmpt

bridge, TO make the. French think it
was a party of their own men return

His own act made his death GER

from both sides.
Lieutenant Leach and Sergeant
Hogan of the British Army each re-
ceived the Victoria Cross for an ey-
traordinarily daring and ingenious
action. The two men Killed two Ger.
mans. took sixteen unwoundcd pris-
onerS and twenty wounded men.
Leach and Hogan with ten men
crawled unobserved TO n section of
trench that had been captured by
The Germans earlier in the day.
Leach and Hogan dropped into the
trench unnoticed and the ten men
lay In wait TO shoot any Germans
who showed themselves.
y trench is built in Zigzags so that
there is only n straight section Of
about twenty yards along which an
enemy could shoot. The Germans In
the first section were taken by sur.
prise and all killed or wounded. Then
the two men hurried on to the next
turning. As they walked Hogan put
his cap on his rifle and held it above

The supreme court of Washington
in State vs.. Corcoran holds that a
clerk in a store who enters with key
furnished by his employer and takes
away goods is guilty OF burglary and
larceny. since his act of entering un-
der such circumstances constitutes a
breaking" The court said:
IF the appellant had the right to
enter the store by the use OF his key
at any time In the day or night, that
is, had an unrestricted and unlimited
right of entrance. he could not be
guilty OF the crime OF burglary. even
though he carried away the goods
from the store. In such event the
crime would be larceny, and not
burglary. But II his right to enter
was limited to the usual hours OF en-
ployment, and after hours of employ
ment he used the key for the purpose
Of entering the store with intent I'M
lawfully to take articles therefrom,
he was clearly guilty OF burglary"
