Is KILLED BY THE GER
MANS.

LONDON, May 2O.-(By Mail to
New York. )-This is a story of he
roism-how Sergeant Major Harry
Daniels Second Rifle Brigade, won
the Victoria Cross at Neuve Chapelle.
It's also a story Of another Victoria
Cross and a lonely grave back there
in northern France. It's a story of
two chums who faced death together
and fought until bullets cut them
down. Corporal Tom Noble Is dead.
Sergeant Major Daniels told 1t today
from his cot in big London hospital.
Il am more glad about Toms Vic
toria Cross than 1 am about my own"
he said. Poor chap he didn't even
know it," And then he told how Tom
and himself-inseparable companions
since they went out In November

ments Of the enemy not fifty feet from
the German trenches. Crawling along

He was soon unconscious and died"

moments later, Daniels crawled a
short distance to a shell hole where
he rested until night fall. Then he
slowly dragged himself toward the
British trenches.
Reading his morning paper today
in the hospital Daniels learned that
