JUSTUS EDWARDS, SALMON
VOLUNTEER, PROMOTED
TO FIRST LIEUTENANCY

A communication from the War
department at Washington received
IN Salmon on Wednesday, June 2e.
brought the news of the pIomo+ion
from the ranks of William Jusrus
Edwards, youngest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edgar S. Edwards, 10 be a first
lieutenant, to date from April 2s.
Never a word from the young man
himself had come in the regular let.
ters he wrote TO his mother so that
Whatever the act of signal bravery
was that thus pointed him out is
still unknown here. II came out In
his letters, however, that he safely
arrived in France early in the year
and that he was in active service in
the trenches in April
Here is a portion of the commits
sion issued by the Secretary of War:
The President of the United
States of America
To all Who Shall See These
Presents, Greeting:
Know ye, That reposing spec
ial trust and confidence in the
patriotism, valor, fidelity and
abilities of William ]. Edwards,
| do appoint him First Lieuten-
ant in the Ordnance Section, Of
ficers Reserve Corps of the
Army of the United States, TO
rank as such from the 26th day
of April, 1913.
1t Is known of course that the 26th
day of April mentioned in the COM
mission was in the midst of the
second drive on the west front, when
the Americans were in action in
force, 1t is presumed that young Ed.
wards distinguished himself on that
occasion. EVERYBODY here at home
would never expect anything else
from Justus Edwards than that he
would keep silent about whatever
wonderful thing it was that he did.
He volunteered for the army and
said nothing about il. Except to one
or two friends he never mentioned
his intentions at all. He simply
made up his mind quietly and ans
wered the call of patriotic duty with
the least display. 1t was his wish
also that nothing be published from
the letters he wrote home. He just
went to war because he felt he ought
to go and with him there were no
herOics in the proceeding.
The last communication received
from Justus was letter to his
mother dated May 20, saying that he
was then out of the trenches for the
second timel not even mentioning,
however. the 26th day of April as
having been the date of any extra
ordinary occurrence in his life
Edgar S. Edwards, the father OF
the young hero, is nearing the S0th
year of his age, still hale and hearty,
as is also the gentle mother. Mr..
Edwards never loses an opportunity
of springing a joke. Not being able
to date to find out what il was that
caused their sons advancement, Mr..
Edwards says it might have been
from the fact that Justus is a demo-
crat in politics. since childhood hav.
ing claimed allegiance to the party
of Andrew Jackson and President
Wilson in spite of the fact that the
family belongs to another political
household of faith. On this point the
genial old gentleman declares that
he himself has been for at least four
years an ardent admirer of Wilson
too.
The same family has beside this
noble son two grandsons now in the
service, Edgar s. Suydam and Frank
Johnson Edwards having enlisted
several months ago.
