Buffers exploit, for which he re-
ceived the croix de guerre, rivals the
performance of Henry johnson and
Needham Roberts, privates in the
same regiment, the first report of
which was cabled to the World last
May. 1t is additional proof of the
fighting qualities of our Negro sold
iers.
"The engagement in which Butler
played so splendid a role took place
in the early morning of Aug. IS in the
regimental sector near Maisons de
Champagne. northeast of Stemenhould.
Following sharp artillery preparation
the enemy had launched strong
raiding party, which, cutting in from
two sides, managed, with the aid of a
cage barrage, to isolate four of our
front line combat posts. In one of
them, Lieut.. G. r. Jones, stepping over
to light starshell, was Jumped by
five boches. He and four of his men
were dragged out of the trench and
showed toward the German lines, along
disused communication trench in No
Mans land. On the way the raiders,
with their prisoners ahead of them
passed within fifty yards of a little ad-
vanced post in which Butler crouched
with two privates.
Don't fiye, Butlerl' Lieutenant
Jones cried. Not yet, but soon, the
sergeant sang out.
Germans Confused
"The Germans were so flustered by
this colloquy, which seemed to them to
indicate an ambuscade, that they
wheeled about towards Buffers hiding
place. Lieutenant Jones Immediately
signalled his four men to- follow him
and clambored up the side of the
trench. AS the five started back to-
ward the American lines the lieutenant
oiieu NOW let EN- nave 1t, sergeant
Butler shrieked his warning to the
bush Germans and stumbled through
the darkness to a point from which he
could enfilade the trench they were in,
and cut loose with his automatic. The
poches made up a train as the Ne.
gro troops say, and without loss of
time they skedaddled homeward at top
speed, leaving their officers wounded
and four privates killed in the trench.
Butler chased them to within their
own wire, and doubtless slew some
more with his hand grenades. He ram
bled all over the sector in search of
gray-green prey, returning to the COM
bat post only when he was completely
exhausted"

Quite a few from around here went
to Glasgow on December 8, which
afterwards proved to be OF the
stormiest days recorded for several
years. Some remained in town over
night, while others risked their lives
to get home. ]. l.. Byers and "A. Z.
Vertz seemed to have Jared the worst.
They were both heavily loaded with
coal and their teams, as we'll as them
selves, had to walk all the way, and
after facing the storm for two and
one-half miles, they were entirely ex-
hausted, as we'll as badly frozen, and
had reached that stage where they
didn't care if they went on or not,
and it took the combined efforts OF
both to keep each other going. They
finally reached the Vertz home about
II o'clock p. M, with badly frozen
faces, hands, etc., and they consid-
cred themselves lucky that they
didn't meet a worse fate. 1t certainly
isn't safe to start such a distance
with a storm raging. '
The entertainment and Christmas
tree at the Badger school house on
Friday night was a success as we'll
as very entertaining. The program
was exceptionally fine and the teacher
deserves much credit for the pains
taking effort she made in training
the children to perform and recite as
they did. Santa Claus couldn't make
arrangements to be present, but he
left a generous supply of presents,
anyway, especially for the teacher
and pupils.
Everyone present thought it was
certainly a. treat to hear the program
and to partake Of the lunch which
they got for only ten cents. The pro-
ceeds went toward buying supple
mentary work for the lower grades.

Hoarding, Not Scarcity, Responsible

Hoarding, Not Scarcity, Responsible
for Present High Wool Prices.
In a recent statement the war trade
board declares that no wool shortage
exists, either in the worlds supply, or
in the amount on hand in the United
States, Notwithstanding the increased
consumption for military purposes.
The clip in most countries has steadily
increased since the outbreak of the
war.
"The price of wool has advanced in
the United States by a percentage
greatly in excess of such price adj
vances in other countries" says the
statement. "The price in the United
States has advanced POO per cent
,bove the prewar level. The price in
England is fixed at 55 per cent in
excess of prewar prices.
"Cloth manufacturers lin the Unit
ed States) have been impelled by fear
to carry abnormal stocks of wool, and
to contract with dealers and import
ers for unusual quantities for far
forward delivery. Manufacturers of
clothing have been infected by a like
dread, melting the purchase of cloth
exceeding in volume their reasonable
needs.
"The consumption of wool during
1918 will be little if any greater than
it was during 1917"
Army Regulators Urge Cordial Rela-
tions Between Officers and
Enlisted Men.
The folloN'ing paragraph of army
regulations is the only rule now ex-
listing regarding the relationship be-
tween officers and enlisted men:
"Superiors are forbidden to injure
those under their authority by tyran-
nical or capricious conduct or by abus-
i've language. While maintaining dis
cipline and the thorough and prompt
performance of military duty, all Of.
ficers, in dealing with enlisted men
will bear in mind the absolute neces'
sity of so treating them as to pre-
serve their self-respect. Officers will
keep in as close touch as possible
with the men under their command
will strive to build up such relations
of confidence and sympathy as will
insure the free approach of their mel
to them for counsel and assistance
This relationship may be gained AM
maintained without relaxation of tn
bonds of discipline and with grea
benefit to the service as a whole"

Army trucks for use in France are
being delivered to the Atlantic sea-

If the plan is successful, the deliv-
cry of 10000 war trucks under con-
struction under their own power will
release $4,000 freight cars which
would be required to transport them
by rail. It will also provide adequate
opportunity for the training of an
