Writing from Paris, a United Press cor
respondent tells about the heroic exploit
of young French soldier, Marcel Marco,
who, now lying IN Paris hospital,
wounded IN many places and severely
burned, has been the recipient of the
French War Medal, conferred only for
some signal act OF bravery.
When the war broke ont, writes the cor
respondent, Marcel was STRIPPING, Slen-
der as a glrl, with beardless face, eyes
large and black, and hands white as a
woman's. AT Verdun one day he gladly
faced almost certain death. He emerged
with a body like sieve, leg broken
above the knee and shattered hand.
A few hours before the French evacua-
ted one OF the hills in front of Verdun the
commander OF battalion picked the
young man for dangerous mission. The
French planned TO steal away from the
hill silently during the night. Marcel was
to stay behind, conceal himself and take
special note of the emplacement of artil-
lery when the Germans arrived. Then
when night came he was TO fire off COL
ored light, so that the French could get
the range OF the German battery and de-
stroy if.
Marcel hid in a hollow tree. Through
a knot hole he watched the arrival OF the
Germans and the placing OF the artillery.
At nightfal he crept out, set off yellow
light and lodged back into the tree.
Soon he heard loud shouts all ABOUT
him as the Germans Sc arched the woods
Then he heard cracking. They had
set the woods on fire TO burn him, as one
does rabbit He gave himself up for
lost.
Another sound crashed in his ear. The
French were blazing away in response TO
his signal. The smoke was hurting his
eyes. He hoped shell would end his
existence before the flames reached the
tree. Then there was an ear-Splltting
bang and the tree fell into thousand
pieces.
When he reganed consciousness he
was in farmhouse. His light had en-
abled the French TO destroy the German
battery and to recapture the position.
They told Marcel that they had found him
unconcious in the burning wood, with the
flames licking hS legs.

struggling TO be free,
Whose steps are quick and hearts are light when
the Federal flag they see.
In coming years no deeds can cause their glorious
names TO fade,
For the pride of every Southern heart is the old
Stonewal Brigade.
No mortal foe can stand their charge, with Walker
at his post.
For they feel as they gaze at their General the,

They never think Of danger. or how thick the bull
lets fall.
They only hear their leader cry, STEADY advance,
Stonewall r.
Many ervent prayers arise from fair Virginia HON es
That God will watch and bless the boys, wherever
their footsteps roam;
Be they upon the battlefield, or camped near hill
or glade.
Gods love will like halo shine around the old
Brigade.
Then nerve your arms to do and dare, for your
name has magic sound
To chill the heart OF your Northern foe, where er
they may be found
And an angel guards you too. boys, when in sleep
your forms are laid.
For Jackson's spirit hoverS near the old Stonewal
Brigade.
Think you, then. the Sunny South can bow her head
in shame.
So long as she has gallant sons 10 battle for her
name?
No. never Let all nations know, her fame can never
fade,
So long as throbs one single heart in the old Stone
wall Brigade.

Your Eavorite Hymn.

The beautiful hymn, "Blest Be the Tie
That Binds" was written under The moi
unusual circumstance of pastor bidding
farewell TO his flock. leaving them TO la
ment his departure In the year l772, Rev.
John Fawcett, young preacher in York
shire, England, felt that duty required that
he should relinquish his work with his
little flock, and accept a. pastorate in a
Baptist church in London, where his pay
would receive greater recognition. His
family had increased far more rapidly than
his income, and necessity forced him 10
make the change.
Alter preaching his farewell sermon in
his church, he loaded his belongings and
prepared himself and family 10 20 TO his
new residence.
The members OF his poor church were
almost brokeu-hearted and fervently did
they pray that he, even now. would change
his plans. When the time for departure
arrived men, women and children clung
around him and his family, loath 10 bid the
final adieu.
The last wagon was being loaded, when
the good man and his wife sat down on
one Of the packing cases 10 weep. Look
ing into his fearful face, while tears, like
rain, fell down her cheeks, the devoted
wife said:
"John, | cannot bear this |" "Nor :"
said the pastor, "nor will we 90. Unload
the wagons and put everything ia its for
mer place, " were his orders. The people
cried for JOY.
A letter was Sent TO the church in Lon
don 10 tell them that his coming 10 them
was impossible. Mr.. Fawcett buckled
on his armor for new labors at Yorkshire
on salary of less than three hundred dol
lars year.
After everything was again in its place
in his old home, Mr Fdwcett sat down
in his study and wrote the words ot his
now famous hymn, "Best BE the Tie
That Binds"
This favorite hymn was sung with great
emphasis and significance at The union OF
the Old and New School divisions OF the
Presbyterian church in Pittsburgh in 1859
'BLEST BE THE TIE THAT BINDS.
Blest be the tic il binds
Our hearts in Christian love:
The fellowship OF kindred minds
Is Ike to that above.
Before our Fathers throne.
We pour our ardent prayers
Our fears. our hopes. our aims are one
Our comforts and our cares.
We share our mutual woes
Our mutual burdens bear:
Ant often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
When we asunder part
II gives us inward pain:
But We shall still be ioined IN heart
And hope to meet again.
This glorious hope reyyes
Our courage by the way.
While each in expectation lives.
And longs to see the day
From sorrow. toll and pain
And sin we shall be free:
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.

arrangements for whose passage
through the entente blockade were
made after much negotiation, will sail
from Amsterdam on the liner Moor
dam on January 13. The state de-

Washington on that date under the
assurances given by both France and
Great Britain to the United States
that their naval commanders will not
disturb him.
Count Tarnowsh was to have sailed
from Amsterdam on December 16, af-
ter the British government had issued
orders to her naval commanders not
to interfere with him. At the last
moment however, it was announced
that he would not sail. as no word on
the subject had been received from
France, regarded as much more severe
than the British in such matters That
difficulty was overcome soon afterward

SeIIdrk. reports regarding Mrs. Corn
wallis West.
I'VE have no doubt that her injudl-
cious boasting Of the power she WELD
cd at the war office-which was con
frned to an appreciable extent by the
wording of some of Sir John CoWan's
letters-was calculated 20 bring him
and the administration at the war Of
flee into dfsrepute We feel Obliged
to record our opinion that the ladys
conduct, as revealed in this case, has
been highly discreditable in her be-
havior toward Second Lieutenant Bar
rett before his letter Of the fourteenth
of February, in her Indicative attempts
to injure him afterwards and In the
untruthful evidence she gave before
us.
"It appeared in the evidence that this
lady holds positions OF some import
ance in the County Of Denbigshire In
various associations of a public char
actor for assisting in war work. In
our opinion it is to be regretted that
she SHOULD hold such positions"
The court also investigated reports
that General Owen Thomas. who took
a prominent part in recruiting IN
Wales, was transferred from the com
mand of a Welsh brigade to a les~
ser command through Mrs. Cornwallis

unfounded, but due "to an unfortunate

wording of certain Official letter..

apparent object of exalting his own

The report calls attention to the fact
that it Is contrary to the regulations
for war office Official to enter into
private correspondence on official mat
ters and also says:
Regret Is expressed that a letter
sent by Lord French to the war oihce
was so ambieuously worded as to be
capable of misconstruction. In any
case, a portion of the letter was in
the nature Of an adverse report on
BrigadHr General Owen Thomas and
should have been communicated to that
officer at the time. It 1 salso regard
