FORMER DRUMMER"
 IS NOW A KNIGHT
(By Henry Wood, United Press Staff
 Correspondent

(By Henry Wood, United Press Staff
 Correspondent
 With the French Armies, Aug. 2S (By MaiD-Knighthood in the Royal Order of the Crown of Italy has just been conferred by King Victor Elm manuel on Margis Guilbaut, a French soldier who before the war was a drummer for wholesale grocery house.
 One of King Nictor's hobbies since the beginning of .the war has been the seeking out and rewardlng of real deeds of knighthood amongst the sol diers not only of his own but of the allied armies. In comforting the cross of chevalier of the Order of the Crown of Italy on Guilbaut, King Victor dubbed him a second "Cheva- Her d'Assas."
 Caught in a night ambush. and knowing that unless the alarm were given other French soldiers would also be captured, Guilbaut unhesitat- ingly called out to his men to fire directly onto his captors, although well knowing like the Knight of Assas of old that the bullets must almost inevitably kill himself as well.
 The daring plan proved effective. Realizing they were discovered and that French soldiers were close at hand, the Germans with curses fell back into the darkness, the last one thrusting his gun into Guilbauts face. Guilbaut seized the barrel and suc- ceeded in turning it aside, the bullet tearing away part of one thumb and grazing his chest.
 With the alarm that had been given the entire German patrol stationed earlier in the night for the purpose of ambushing the French, beat a dis erect retreat and Guilbaut's sentinels and advance posts remained master of the situation.
 Simultaneously with the cross of the Order of the Crown of Italy re- ceived from King Victor Emmanuel, Guilbaut received from the French government the Metallic Miljtaire.

BREAKING CROP PRE-
 DICTED FOR SOUTH AMERICA 4
(By United Press.)

Buenos Aires, Aug. 25 (By MaiD- Reviewing the crop estimates for the current season, the Buenos Aires Standard draws the conclusion that the republic seems likely to have a record-breaking yield, but it questions whether this will do the country much good under existing circumstances.
 "The outlook would be most en- couraging,' says the Standard, If we could count upon freighters to carry the grain to hungry Europe.
 But will Europe be hungry enough to purchase Argentina's grain in bulk? That will depend upon what the allies think will he Argentina's $ position politically when the harvest is gathered. They are making every effort now to SO harmonize their pooled produce as to make purchases from neutrals as light as possible. not because neutrality is crime to be punished. but policy that will not be encouraged.
 "Freghters will be very scarce when neutrals ask for them to carry their produce to the war-bitten mar kets."

DIES A HERO.

LONDON, July "a. = Conscientious
objector, shirker, volunteer soldier
and now one of England's dead heroes
that is the war career of Henry
Ballamore.
When war came Ballamore called
the Devils invention. He fought
against conscription on conscientious
grounds, preferrig Jail to the battle
field.
IF / ever see a wounded soldier
fall with his crutches won't help him
up again." said Ballamore. This SO

A few weeks later he experienced
change of heart. Though exempted
from the army he volunteered. Soon

YOUTHFUL HERO HONORED
WITH LEGION CROSS
(By Henry Wood)


UNITED Press Staff Correspondent }
PARIS, July "a. - The cross of the
Legion of Honor was today conferred
upon twenty-one year old Alsacian
by the name of Alt as the result of
most remarkable career in the
French army prompted solely by his
great desire TO see his native pro-
vince of Alsace reunited to France.
AIS services in the Alsacian cause
have now been cut short by the loss
of one leg. Although the cross of
the Legion of Honor is designed to
recompense him in part for this, he
declares the recompense that alone
will satisfy him will be the ultimate
return of Alsace to France.
Alt, has been from his boyhood, one
of the most ardent champions of the
Alsacian cause. When the war broke
out he was at Toul. Although only
1S years of age then, he enlisted in
the French Foreign Legion and made
the campaign on the User. With 81
wounds in his body, he was left on the
Belgian battlefield for dead, but was

WANT NEW TRIAL FOR

SAN FRANCISCO, July 20. - On

gathered in a demonstration OF pre-
paredness a bomb explosion at Stu
art and Market streets, killed ten peo-
pie and injured scores of others.
The crime sent wave of horror
shrobbing thruout the country.
Charges of murder were placed
against Thomas j. Mooney, former /.

-drs. Rena Mooney wife OF Thomas
Mooney-a music teacher; Warren *.
Biilings, member of the shoe cutters
Iuion; Edward Nolan, member of the
machinists union and Israel Weinberg,
Jitney driver.
Billings was convicted and sentec-
ed to lie in prison.
Mooney was tried next, found gull

BADGES FOR THE EXEMPT

The war department has decided
20 provide broze badges for men of
aeleotye service who are released
isom the military obligation. The
badge will bear the word Exempted
and is intended to protect the men
from embarrassment.
This is no more than fair. No self
respecting man wants to be pointed at
as Stacker or coward by friends or
strangers who think he ought to be
IN the army. Millions of our young
men may prove to be physically in
capable of enduring military life. Mil
liens who are physically qualified may
be needed on farms or in factories or
offices or as wage-earners Ior their
families more than they are needed in
the trenches. They will be serving,
too, though missing the danger and
the applause.
1t is the merit of the selective draft
chat it enables every citizen to serve
his country in war time according to
his capacity and the country's need.
There should be no dishonor for any
body oncerned-except for those who
claim exemption falsely. There ought
to be compulsory badge for them,
inscribed with the word "Quitter."

CURIOS FOUND

July ID was a great day for the
men engaged in excavating the pre-
historic ruins near. Aztec, N. NJ. -Four
men under the direction of Earl Nor
ris, made very important discovery
when they were removing the debris
from one of the underground rooms.
In one corner of the room they found
several human bodies and about 60
pieces of very rare pottery. The pot
terry was handsomely decorated, show
ing that the race now extinct. had a
taste for art. In another corner of
the same room bag of beads was
found. The bag contained over 21 900
fine carved beads, both red and black
and they are estimated by the find
ers to be the finest of the kind ever
found in the southwest. Baskets, mat
ting, battle axes, knives and other
implements were also found in this
room. At one time a fire had oc.
cured in the room, destroying a num-
oer of fine specimens. Some of the
turquoise beads, shell ornaments.
and mosaics are the equal if not bet
ter than any discovered in the Sec
tion. The mosaics show exceptional
skill and are as fine as some made
at the present day-says the Farm
ington Enterprise.

The doctors declare that 1t was his
determination to get well and keep
on fighting for Alsace that pulled him
thru. Hardly was he out Of the hos
pital than he was back in the French
ranks demanding to be assigned to
the most perilous tasks.
Alt had been serving for some time
as an observer in large tree far in
advance of the French lines. Eventu-
ally the tree fell under suspicion of
the Germans and they at once sur
rounded it was barrage fire that
made escape practically impossible.
The Germans directed shell after shell
at the tree, until one struck squarely
and felled it to the ground. In the
iall, Alt received wounds that made
it impossible for him to flee. From
9 O'Clock in the morning till midnight
Alt lay on the ground, hoping almost
against hope.
At midnight, the barrage ceased
and a German sergeant and two SOL
diers crept out of their trenches to
take Alt prisoner. He drew his re-
volver, waited till they were close,
and shot all three.
