Britain Decorates
5 Americans for
Bravery in Action
Lieutenant Bonnalie, of
Aviationr Is Awarded Dis
tinguished Service Order
ON The Associated Press)

WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Sept. 6.-Five Americans
have been decorated with British hon
ors for conspicuous gallantry in action
on the British front. They are:
Lieutenant Allan Francis Bonnalie,
of San Francisco, and Lieutenant
Glenn D. Ransom, of Grand Rapids,
Mich; Corporal John Johnston and
Privates Lawrence Bartley Collier and
Robert Hurley Hall.
Lieutenant Bonnale, who is an avia-
tor, received the Distinguished Ser
vice Order; Lieutenant Ransom was
awarded the Military Cross, Corporal
Johnston was given the Distinguished
Conduct medal, and military medals
were bestowed upon Private Collier
and Private Hall.
Went to Comrades Aid
Lieutenant Bonnalie on August 13
led two other airplanes on a long pho
tographic reconnaissance right near
Bruges, Belgium. While over Thourout
all three machines were attacked, but
they succeeded in taking the required
photographs.
The three Allied airplanes then
started back, but met six Fokkers,
which dived to attack. While heavily
engaged himself, Lieutenant Bonnalie
observed that one Of his machines was
in difficulties.
Lieutenant Bonnalie broke off his
combat and dived to the assistance of
his comrade. His enemy, taking ad
vantage of this, attacked from the
rear; but as the bullets were ripping
through his machine the lieutenant
drove off the enemy from the tail of
the crippled British plane.
Meanwhile Lieutenant Bonnalie's
elevator control shot through and
half of the machines tail was shot
away. in consequence of which the air.
plane began to sideslip. The lieuten-
ant kept his machine facing the British
line by ruGder control, his observer
continuing to fight the attacking air
craft from the rear gun mounting, and
succeeded eventually in driving off the
enemy.
With this gallant assistance Lieuten-
ant Bonnalie managed to cross the
British lines at a low altitude and
landed without fatal results.
Cared for Wounded Under Fire
Lieutenant Glenn D. Ransom won his
military cross at Merckham. He is
medical officer attached to British
battalion and worked continuously
under fire in caring for the men of his
own and other battalions and also
wounded Germans.
Corporal Johnston, on the night of
August 12, was in the line opposite
Boyelles in charge of a post The
enemy put down a heavy barrage and
wounded him. When the barrage was
lifted the enemy tried to raid the post.
Although severely wounded, the cor
poral Immediately organized a counter
attack which he led up to the trench
of the enemy and caused many German
casualties.
Private Collier gained his medal in
the same action. The enemy was
bombing his way down a trench toward
Golfers post in which casualties had
most reduced its strength. He dis
played fine example in the counter
attack which he instantly organized
and was largely responsible for the
election of the enemy.

OMAN FINDS HER PLACE THROUGH WAR

English women employed in
more than seventeen hundred

ers.
Least important from the
practical side of the new order
is the clearing away of caste bar
riers.
Titled women in England and
creatures Of aristocracy in the
United States are working in
factories, hospitals, everywhere,
side by side with former house
maids. This might be of no mo-
ment excepting for the unity Of
interest which has dissolved tt
ties and such inconsequentials
and recreated them all just "wo-
men folks"
The new political freedom in
England and the growing politi-
cal freedom in the United States
are part of the new order; the
biggest part; firmly established.
That women's new place
everywhere is so firmly estab-
lished is it's own safeguard. One
is beset by the thought that she
would have more difficulty Creep
ing round it and back to the
shadows than she experienced in
finding the light.

to exert potent influences On
character.
Apparently the first visible eff
feet is the elimination of what
long has been known as "femi-
nine stuff" Specially noticeable
is it's absence in England, where
women no longer offer their SER
vices where they please, reserv-
ing unto themselves the priv
lege of backing out when duties
irk. They enroll for definite
length of time, to do anything
and go anywhere assigned. And
they take orders cheerfully.
Neither do they elevate pow
dered noses at prospect of un-
pleasant tasks-another visible
effect of the new order. Daugh-
tiers of earls are fiinging chal-
lenge to the grimly back-aching
monotony Of factory work; 9TH
Fers are looking after government
remount depots, training and
grooming horses; sweeping out
stables.
A moderately ancient adage
declared the female creature in
capable of completely tying up a
package, sharpening a pencil,
throwing a ball.
So far no one has written any
epigrams round her ability to do
things infinitely of more conse-
quence; such ability being shown
in statistics of Great Britain.

AS the tumult and the shout
ing dies, comes up fer considera-
ton that most interesting devel-
opment of the war, woman's new
place in politics, business, soci-
ETY.; her new reason for being
so to speak.
Now that the necessity which
urged her out into the bright
white light of her own resources
relaxes, will she creep back to
the shadows of dependence and
morbid inactivity?
1t does not seem at all logical
or probable. It is an established
fact that economic independence
induces freedom of thought.
Statistics show that in Great
Britain alone practically six mil
lion British women and girls,
once entirely dependent upon
parents or relatives, have been
employed in National Service
during the war.
How many American women
are in the same situation cannot
be estimated. It Is quite safe to
say that ninety per cent. of them
have engaged in some sort of
work since the United States en-
tered the war. While many toll
without remuneration, mental
activity resulting from merely
doing something useful is bound
