by the feeling of the men toward the

Capture Of Enemy Post Sin

Victoria Cross
Took Many Officers
Official Award Describes Incl

in Recent Operations

LONDON, June 20 (Via Ottawa).-
The feats at arms Of knights Of old are
rivalled in modern warfare by the re-
markable record Of Private Beesley, of
the Rife Brigade, who has just been
awarded the Victoria Cross.
When all the officers and non-com-
missioned officers had been killed in an
attack Private Beesley took command
of his company. Leading the assault,
he captured an enemy post single
handed, killed two Germans at their
machine guns, and then shot dead an
officer who attempted to man the guns.
Three more officers rushed from dug
out. One attempted to destroy map.
Beesley shot him, seized the map and
made prisoner the other officers. Four
more officers came out. They were dis
armed by the indomitable Beesley and
sent back as prisoners.
Raked Fleeing Germans
AS the enemy began to retreat a
comrade brought up machine gun.
Beesley used this with great effect on
the fleeing Germans. For four hours
under a heavy fire he and his comrades
held their position. The Germans
counter attacked and Beesley's compan-
ion was wounded. Beesley kept his
Lewis gun going, and held the enemy in
check until long after the post on his
left had been wiped out. Not until
darkness, came did he move back to the

Delay Over Funds
Hampers Work of
Finding War Labor
Congress Finds Difficulty in
Understanding Present
Military Demands
(specio1 pispatch to The Tribuno)


WASHINGTON, June 29.--The Sen
ate Committee on Appropriations is
having hard time deciding wheth-
er it will give the United States
Employment Service $1,5o0,000 or ST.
100000 for the coming fiscal year in
the sundry civil appropriation bill.
The Labor Department, where the En-
rloyment Service has its home, has al
ways presented gray and routine ap-
pearance to legislators in Washington.
Even when a stray million passes from
the Treasury without much objection
at the Capitol, Congressman are hav-
ing hard time revising their opinions
with respect to the Labor Department.
Their vision hasn't yet adjusted itself
to the practical necessities Of vast
and comprehensive labor programme
if the increasing war needs of the ma
tion are to be adequately met.
The lesser of these figures repre-
sents what the House bill provides for
the United States Employment Service.
The greater amount is what the SER
vice says it will need to carry out the
extensive programme proclaimed by
the President last week to coordinate
the employment of labor in war work.
The Senate subcommittee is still try
ing to decide which one it ought to
report. In the meantime, the Employ
ment Service, the chosen instrument
of the Shipping Board, the War Indus
tries Board and every one OF the big
war machines at Washington to put
system into the labor market, is ham
pered in its plans for organization by
the delay.

States takes definite shape in the state
