hardly doubt that the enemy desires to

would form a base on the Marine for

EIGHT RoCHEs LESS FOR
THIS AMERICANS LIFE

Washington, April 23.-The Ameri-
can soldier in France has the 'endur-
ance of the English, the courage of
the French and the pep that belongs
to the American alone" according to
Lieut. Daniel c. Roper, Jr., son of In
ternal Revenue Commissioner Roper.
In a letter to his father made pub
lie today Lieutenant Roper tells of
the gallant fight of young South
Carolina officer named David, who
overwhelmed by Germans accounted
for seven of the enemy before he
was killed
"You will be proud to know of the
case of a South Carolinian, son of Dr.
David Of near Clio, S. G. He was
overwhelmed by the boche but he had
pile of flesh in front of him. He
fought like a tiger-accOunted for
seven boches with his pistol and then
was fighting with an empty rife when
struck from behind My friend was a
Citadel man and fine officer"
An excerpt of the letter regarding
young David was sent to his father
in Dillon, S. c.. by Commissioner
Roper, and DR. Roper in acknowledge
ing the letter said
Your sons account of my dear
boys death was the best that we have
had, and as he states, it was glorious
and I feel quite sure that if he had
had the choosing of the way that he
was to go, that would have been his
choice
