NEW ZEALAND MAN
GAINS HIGH HONOR
FOR HEROIC ACT

WELLINGTON, New Zealand, July
1.-THE metoric military career of B.
c. Freyberg, West Surrey (English)
Regiment, winner of the Victoria Cross
and the badge of the Distinguished
Service Order, is a subject of con-
graduation in Wellington where he
was born and in all New Zealand. 1t is
summed up i'll official advices that
Lieutenant Colonel Freyberg recently
was promoted to the rank of brigadier
general for services in the field. AS he
Isl only twenty-seven years old he is
probably the youngest brigadier gen
eral in the British imperial forces. He
is a son Of the late James Freyberg,
government timber expert in New
Zealand. He was one of the best
swimmers in New Zealand. At the be-
ginning of the war he went to England
and enlisted in the West Surrey Regi-
ment Later he was in the Allied de-
tense of Antwerp serving with the
British marines. He was wounded and
returned to England, but he recovered
in time to take part in the initial Allied
military and naval descent upon the
Gallipoli Peninsular. According tC
an official statement he displayed con-
spicuous galantry on April % during
the landing operations in the Gulf o.
Xeros, which he swan ashore tow
ing RATS with flares, and reconnoitred
! the enemy's position He was in the
water more than two hours. By this
feat of daring and swimming he divert
ed the attention of the Turks from the
actual place of landing. For this he
was awarded the Distinguished Service
Order badge.
At the battle of the Ancre he was the
hero of the highly successful attack by
the Naval Division He was awarded
the Victoria Cross for personal gal
| lantry in carrying an attack through
the enemy's front system of trenches.
During the advance he was twice
wounded He again rallied and re-
formed all who were with him and
although unsupported in a very ad-
vanced position he held his ground for
/ the remainder of the day and through
out the night under heavy artillery and
nachine-gur fire When reinforced on
! the following morning he organized the
attack on a strongly fortified village,
| lead the assault and captured the viii
lage and 500 prisoners. In this opera
ton he was again wounded. This en-
abled the advanced objective of the
corps to be permanently held, and on
this point of approach the line was
eventually formed

been furnishing Georgia farmers with
nitrogen bacteria at just what it
cost to produce it. This nitrogen
bacteria was first sold at 25 cents

nest until the springtime came and she
could creep out and find herself, not

thing with wings with which to dart
from flower to flower or to sadl like
a fairy ship upon the windy waves OF

felt there was something In her song
which was beautiful, and as he didn't

"This is the meaning, little rabbit"
replied the lovely butterfly. mo mat

er. as the rabbit called her, flew away,
leaving him to ponder over her words.
And in few minutes he hoped back
to the Old Brier Patch and said to his
mother.
Let me polish the brass door knob
for YOU" and his mother was SO happy
to think he had come all the way back
from the Pleasant Meadow to do this
for her that she sang all day long at

what happened to Billy Bunny when

1t was just after breakfast, and the
dew was still on the grass and the
earth smelled sweet and fresh, when
the little rabbit came across the little
butterfly. AT first he thought she was
"a buttercup with wings. she was so
very yellow. but when she spoke to
him he knew ne was mistaken.
~ thought you were flying flower"
said the little rabbit, and he laughed a
happy laugh. for he was so happy he
almost felt he could fly. Then the
butterfly perched herself on clover
top and asked the little bunny IL he
had ever heard the butterfly song.
