WEARER OF MANY OF
WARS HONOR MARKS
Alexander F. Lewis Also Has
Wounds From His Long
Service Abroad
NORS HIS PARENT

Alexander F. Lewis, 10 years old,
was in New York on his way from
France to Detroit, Mich, his old
home, to place flowers on the graves
of his father and mother. He went
to France in October, 1917 The par
ents died in March of this year
When the young aviator went to
Europe he was a private with a sin
gle service bar on his left breast, in
dicating he had seen service on the
Mexican border. He was IL years old
when he got the bar. When he walk
ed into the Vanderbilt Hotel yester-
day and told E. e. Martin, assistant
manager, who he was, he wore a
CroiX de Guerre, a Medal of Honor,
an expert rifle and expert pistol shot
medal, five yellow stripes on his left
blouse cuff, indicating service abroad;
above each of the cuff marks, indicat-
ing his place on General Pershing's
staff, and bullet marks on his cheek
and neck that helped to tell his story.
Beside these he wore the insignia of
first sergeant, a rank given to him
at the personal direction of the COM
mander of the American expedition
airy forces in France
When the youth said he was 10
years old it was hard to believe he
was telling the truth. That is, it was
hard until one looked at his earnest
face and saw that the wrinkles and
burrows in his forehead and face had
been caused by work and hardships
and worry. Winning crosses of war
and medals of honor is not done with
out great risk of life and without
suffering. Alexander Lewis has been
through both. He has flown not over
the German lines into the fact of
steel and lead and come back with
the information he sought. Otherwise
he wouldn't have those medals. That
much has to be assumed, however.
because he was taken into the head
quarters OF General Pershing Just be-
fore he left the front, and the General
told him not to talk with newspaper
men in America.
He knew, he said, that New York
was eager for news from the battle
fronts, particularly from men who
had been through the fire, but he
could not talk if he kept his word, and
so he would not talk.
But is wasn't necessary for this
young man to say another word.
War, when it comes to a point where
a man is facing death day in and day
out like he has faced it, is a great
battle line to the other And SO the
youth wasn't pressed for words or for
a picture. 1t wasn't necessary.

COLORED DRAFTEES TO

The men, who will leave from
Campden Station at 655 A. NJ, have
been ordered to carry enough cloth
ing to last for several weeks, as it is
understood they will not be fitted with
uniforms until August Only colored
men with grammar school educat

work will be of such a nature as to
require a fair amount of education
This is the third increment of draft
men to be sent away for special train

The men will be sent to France as

GREAT COMPLIMENT TO
UNCLE FRED" TALBOT

Unusual tribute to Congressman j.
Fred G. Talbot, of Baltimore County,
who, as the oldest members of the
House of Representatives Naval At
fairs Committee, has many times visit
ed Annapolis on the Naval Academy
Board of Visitors, is found in the
movement launched by a prominent
Republican advocating>this stirring old
Democrats reelection. A. p. Nc
Combs, editor of the Havre de Grace
Republican, is advocating the re-elec-
ton of "Marse" Fred to Congress with
out opposition.
Mr.. McCembs has been known as
very partisan Republican. 1t, there
fore, was something of a shock to the
hide-bound to discover that, even with
the war going on, he is anxious TO put
party politics aside and send back to
Congress a man who has been just as
pronounced a Democrat as he is Re-
publican.
1T would be a graceful act on the
part of the Republicans, says Mr. Nc
Combs. IF they would decline to make
any nominations and thus make his
6BIr. Talbott's) election unanimous.
Then he adds:
CAS- the oldest member of the Naval
Committee, Mr.. Talbot has ever been
an advocate of an increase in battle
ships, and had his advice been follow
ed in the years gone by our unpre-
paredness in the present war would
have in a measure been guarded
against"
