For most conspicuous bravery
and devotion to duty In attack.
After the first objective had
been captured and consolidation
had been started, work was con-
siderably hampered and numer-
Gus casualties were caused by
an enemy machine gun firing
from a concrete emplacement
situated on the edge Of our pro
tective barrags.
Private Dancox was one of q
party OF about ten men detailed
as moppers-up. Owing TO the
position OF the machine gun en-
placement, Il was extremely diff
ficult TO work. round flank.
However, this man with great
gallantry worked his way round
through the bsrrage and entered
the "pill-box" from the rear,
threatening the garrison with a
Mills bomb. Shortly afterwards
he Ieappearsd with a machine
gun under his arm, followed by
about forty enemy.
The machine gun was brought
back TO our position by Private
Danoox, and he kept It In ac-
tIon throughout the day.

indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 24.-Keep

on your guard against letting them
get into the hand of shalfpers. Do
not trade them for stocks or bonds
of little or no value. IL you must

That paragraph sums UP an APP

Waging against the advertising OF

to consideration another source OF
loss to Liberty bond owners which
has recently come to the attention
OF the national vigilance committee

In view Of the proximity OF the
next Liberty bond drive, some facts
the committee has gathered are of
especial interest and Importance.
Tt has learned that I'm several CONF
ml1nities, the promoters Of get-rieh-

CITY UNDER HUN.
RULE four YEARS
tBv Associated Press.l

Amsterdam, Aug. ga recent
semi official statement published in
Germany describing Luxembourg as a
German town has attracted at
tention again to the bitter lot of the
people OF Luxembourg, whose Princess
vainly appealed to the Germans to
spare her little country in the early
days of the German incursion OF
Belgium.
For four yeanrs now. the citizens
of Luxembourg have lived isolated
under the yoke Of German military
domination. Three thousand Luxem-
burgers have escaped into France and
joined the French army.
1t is true that Luxembourg has not
faced, as Belgium and Serbia have,
the devastation brought in defensive
fighting on her own soil, but war mas
come by air, and just as it has been
necessary for the entente airmen to
bomb German billets in Belgium and
French towns, so they have frequent
ly had occasion to bomb Luxembourg
and with deadly effect
German propagandists In Luxem-
burg, as in Belgium, have constant
" attempted to rouse hostility to
the entente by exploiting these air
raids, but their efforts have proved
unsuccessful, and the people of Lux
emburg persist, despite all propagan-
da, in regarding the German invader
as the real culprit, recognizing clear
ly that Luxembourg is raided only be-
cause the German army is there.
The Luxembourg parliament and
government have lodged protests al
Berlin against the action OF the Ger
man army in placing anti aircraft
guns around the city Of Luxembourg.

Flickertail fighting men urges that
North Dakota commemorate one of

ent war in which our own boys plays
ed q prominent part by changing
the name OF the capital city Bis

OF Co. f, the Mandan unit OF the
Fighting First, with which he enlist

shat the people Of Bismarck want
a new name for their city. I wish
to suggest new one, and I'll tell
you why Cantigny-prono

for our boys; and most of the. North
Dakota boys were there. I think
that the capital city of North Da-

incidentally, one Of the most vio-
lent protests recently received

Government Plans To Re
turn Remains Of Those
Who Fall In France

Paris, Aug. 24.-What CT those
who give all that a. man can give
over here? When the military fun
eral is over, and the vOlley of tribute
fired over the soldier grave, who
cares2 The answer is that the Uni
ted States government cares and
this ig the story Of what it does for
the comfort OF the sick, in honor OF
those who die, and for the consola-
ton of the people at home. p
Private Shellie j. Poole, once Of
Alabama and late OF the S2sth In
fantry, was taken sick with measles,
and soon developed pneumonia.
Direct, from g. transport he was sent
to an American rest camp hospital
in England. This particular hospi-
tai 1s ESQ hut organization, under
canvas. =
Pooie's fever remained at about
101 degrees. AS he grew worse two
men were assigned to watch him
constantly. This was done prin-
cipally through fear that he might,
in delirium, get, out OF bed and
catch additional cold. The man
fought well for his life but repeated
crises wore him down. The camp
surgeon was with him when he died.
He was the first patient to be lost
in that hospital. ~
The body Of Private Poole was
taken to q local chapel, and two days
later he was buried in Kirksdale
with military honorg. An
tag WAS placed in the
casket. a careful record was made
of Just where he was buried and Of
the number OF his grave. Moreover,
a. copy OF the record was placed in
q bottle and buried two feet above
the casket so that Ii. could be dug up
and read II desired.
But the interest OF the government
and OF Its auxiliary forces in
Private ShelIie j. Poole did not end
there. It is the intention OF the
United States TO carry its dead back
to America after the war, and in the
meantime there are things TO be
done for the living at home.
The Y. M. G. A. secretary in
charge OF work In that camp hospi-
tai wrote to Private Poole's mother.
He told her oil the detailss Of the
death og her son-such details as are
not put in official reports-and she
viii know that Private Poole was
not friendless at the end. When
grass has grown over the grave the
Y. M. G. "a. man VIII send Mrs.
Poole a photograph OF It. And this
win be repeated in the case OF every
