The Rev. n. n. Windsor Of RayviIle,
La, and the Twelve-Star Service Pin
Presented to Him by the American
Red Cross.

Having the right to and needing
twelve-star service pin, the Rev. II. II.
Windsor of Rayville, La, Jealous
Red Cross worker, has been presented
with unique decoration by the Amer
lean Red Cross. The father Of nine
teen sons, twelve of whom are with
the colors, this genial colored minister
Of the Baptist church probably holds
the record for sons in the military
service Of the United States. If there
are any others with similar or better
status, they are yet to be heard from.
In the accompanying Illustration OF
the twelve-star pin, topped with the
Red Cross insignia, it will be noted
that the first bar bears five stars.
These represent five Individual sons
Bonnie, Robin, JEFF, Johnnie and
Archie. The next bar bears two stars
representing twins, George and Lafa-
yette; the next bar is similarly
decorated, representing William and
James, also twins; and the bottom
bar, with its three stars, represents
the triplets, Matthew Mark and Luke.
Eight of the boys are volunteers, and
the other four were called in the draft.
Upon hearing of the remarkable
record Of the Windsor family, Presi-
dent Wilson, who is also president OF
the American Red Cross, wrote to the
Rev. Mr.. Windsor as follows:
II am writing to say with what In.
terest and admiration have learned
Of the fact that twelve of your sons
are in the service Of our country, and
the thirteenth impatiently waiting to
follow them in. This is a splendid
record, and I congratulate you from
the bottom Of my heart. The colored
troops have proved themselves fine

there are two u-boats operating on

American shores and explained that
they frequently replentshed their
stores from vessels they destroyed.
Naval patrols on the coast are as
extensive as can be Mr.. Daniels de-
clared adding that it is impossible for
them to be everywhere. Thus far the
raiders have done no military dam
