> With the American Army in
France, Thursday, March 21.-The
French commander of a division with
which American troops are being
trained to-day awarded the Cross OF
War to an American infantryman
who two nights ago gave his life
rather than abandon his post of duty
The War Cross was spiked to the
coffin before burial.
Two infantrymen entered an abai-
doned trench to establish a snipers
post when they obserdved Germans
in the wire before the American
trenches. Other Germans arrived
They began an exchange of rifle fire
which resulted in a barrage from
both sides. At the end of an hour
the enemy gave up the attempt to
enter the American lines and with
drew. Then it was discovered that
one of the two Americans had been
killed. There was plenty of cover
within a few yards, but he remained
at his post throughout the artillery
battle.
The distinguished service cross has
been awarded to Corporal Charles III
Burke, infantry. His citation reads:

The time for the Primate's recep-
ton and address was so short that
everybody was disappointed in not
hearing a longer message from him
and yet he said the gist of what he
thought, namely that What Abra-
ham Lincoln settled for America
America must now settle for the
World" He, thus. brought the huge
and scattered war of to-day down to
a concrete viewpoint for most
every American understands what
Lincoln did, not only for this nation
but for the whole world in emanci-
patinS the slaves.
When the primate spoke of the
battle. then and now progressing, he
was plainly agitated, several times
trembling with emotion. That the
crisis is affecting men of authority
in England far more than in Amer
lea was made evident to observing
ones. Upon starting for the railroad
station the English churchman-
diplomat referred warmly to the
spirit displayed by the audience and
regretted that he could not have
spoken more at length. He was ac-
companied to Philadelphia by Gov
ernor Brumbaugh and a member of
Episcopal prelates.

coins Freeing of SlaUeS

The impression left on Harrisburg
by the Most Rev. Cosmo Gordon
Lang, Archbishop of York and
Primate of England, who spoke in
the House of Representatives on
Saturday afternoon was that of a
great and good man who had aged
twenty years since this war began.
What impressed the Primate, as he
lntimated upon leaving for Philadel-
phia was the seriousness and tremen-
dous interest of the big audience.
The fact that decorations were
meager or that there was no military
demonstration was of no consequence
to this man of profound thought.
He carried away the conviction that
Harrisburg was responsive to his ap-
peal and it may be added that no
theme could have appealed SO
strongly as Abraham Lincoln.

The play is melodrama with a

with a young girls efforts to protect
