GEORGE G. M'MuRTRY,
Captain, 3oath Infantry.

Captain McMurtry received the Dis
tinguished Service Cross for conspicu-
Gus gallantry in action at Charlevans.
In the Forest d'Argonne, France, Oc-
tober 2 to 8, 1913. Captain McMurtry
commanded battalion which was cut
off and surrounded by the enemy and,
although wounded in the knee by
shrapnel on October 4, and suffering
great pain, continued throughout the
entire period to encourage his officers
and men with a resistless optimism
that contributed largely toward pre-
venting panic and disorder among the
troops who were without food, cut off
from communication with our lines.
October 4, during n heavy barrage, he
personally directed and supervised the
moving of the wounded to shelter be-
fore he himself sought shelter. Oc-
tober 6 he was wounded in the shoul-
der by German grenade, but con-
tinued personally to organize and direct
the defense against the German attack
on the position until the attack was
defeated. He continued to direct and
command his troops, refusing relief,
and personally led his men out of the
position after assistance arrived, be-
fore permitting himself to be taken to
the hospital October 8. During this
period the successful defense Of the
position was due largely to his efforts.
His wife Is at % East 10th street,
New York.

knee, and with several bullet holes in
his body, with undaunted courage, he
continued to fire into the emplace-
ment from a prone position, killing

FARMERS READ THIS

The following article upon the cot

throughout the county to read it, and
to ponder well what it says:

plant large crop or at leafs a nor
nal this year Liverpool, which is one
one of the largest markets in the
world is counting on a very low price
This information is reported by p
Liverpool dealer who has Just come
from England. And this is just ex-
actly what will happen if the cotton
planters of the South do not heed the
warnings Of those who know condi-
tions.
"Time and again it has been proved
clearly that a ten million bale crop
has brought more, money than a fif-
teen million bale crop. Why should
the farmers raise five million bales of
cotton for nothing? Just look at the
waste Of time and energy and of

"In 1913 the government urged the
farmers to plant a large acreage in

The shipping board plans for the
establishment, in the near future, of
regular passenger and freight steam
ship service between the United States
and South and Central American
countries. This, to us, is momen-
tous and promising event. We have
all along felt that one of the results
of the war was going to be the build
ing up of closer relations with other
countries, not only in South America
but unto the uttermost parts of the
earth. We certainly rejoice in the
prospect of having the fat beef and
mutton that is certainly going to be
brought to this country. Bananas,
grapefruit, lemons and all sorts of
tropical and semi-tropical fruits
should come to be plentiful and at
reasonable price.

Secretary of State Lansing deliver
ed speech before the Inter Allied
Press Club at Paris recently in which
he took the position that the only way
to meet the deluge of anarchy that is
spreading westward having already
taken possession of Russia, was to
provide Germany with food and peace.
There is certainly much that may be
said in favor of this contention. II
will not do to continue to shut food
out of Germany, nor to face the Ger
mans to continue inactive in the mat
ter of industry. We believe Mr.. Ian
sing is right in the contention that n
present situation must be changed as
soon as possible, not through pity for
Germany but to save ourselves from
the Red Terror.

The railroads of the country have
ihaugurated a bureau of safety. the
purpose of which is to educate the
public and the employees of the roads
III matters that make for safety. We
give publicity to one of the letters
sent out to the newspapers and
ministers of Union asking for their
cooperation in bringing to the public
mind the danger of certain practices
and the need for caution. 1t is a
very good movement, one that lead to
real prevention. Most of the acci-
dents both to employees and to the
public in general come from very
great carelessness or from wilful dis
regard of danger Certainly we are
willing to cooperate in this move
ment. Anything that makes for the
safety and welfare of the community
will find US ready to be enlisted to
help.

TERROR OF LONDON's POOR


London, Feb. 1s, Correspondence
of The Associated Press.)-Coal
queues, the terAor of the poor of Lon
don, have again made their appear
ance because Of an acute shortage in
the coal supply, and thousands upon
thousand of persons have been daily
standing in line in the hope of get
ting enough coal to keep some kind of
fire going in their humble homes.
A coal queue is an interesting sight.
Early in the morning the number of
customers appearing at some distrib-
uting point exceeds the number be-
ing disposed of by the coal merchant.
So they line up, in the order Of their
arrival, and patiently wait until they
are supplied, or are told by the mer-
chant that he has no more-by no
means an infrequent development.
They buy in small quantities for
two reasons-some of them have lit
tie money to invest in coal at existing
high prices, while the second cause is
the lack Of means to remove quanti-
ties. Often perambulators provide the
vehicle, but more often the purchaser
tucks his "black diamonds" away in
an old basket, and hurries on his
way.
If the dealer is SO fortunate as to
have ton or two of coal the queue
will be maintained for hours in the
biting cold. IF his supply is short, he
is soon sold out, and the queue dis
solves, only to be reformed at some
other place in the hope of finding
more coal.
1t often happens that persons of
means approach the dealer and offer
high prices for quantities out of all
proportion to the supply, and it is Of
ten recorded that the dealer will re-
fuse the temptation, because he knows
that his trade is among the people
who are his regular customers, the
poor of the neighborhood, and they
will not forget him when he has abun-
dant coal to sell if he discriminates
in favor of casual but richer per-
son.
So poor and rich alike have been suf
fering and shivering, because no one
really expected the temperature to
drop as sharply as it has within the
past few days. The winter to this
time has been open and wet and sick
eningly chilly, but not so cold as to
cause actual suffering, even with
short fuel supply. But with the mer-
curry lowering around 20 degrees
above zero. ~ degrees of frost" they
call it here, coal is necessity.
The shortage of coal is ascribed to
number Of reasons, chiefly the dila-
tory work of the miners who have de-
manded six hour working day, and
the scarcity of railroad cars. Coal
supplies in all centers of population
are far below normal, and there is no
prospect of an immediate improve
ment in the situation. Many persons
have sought other means of keeping
warm. One old man and his wife they
are over eighty, have been in bed
for week because they have no coal
in the house, and their daughter cares
for them. Children also are being
kept between blankets with success,
but the sturdy of the city must bear
the burden as we'll as tyey can, with
mighty little prospect Of relief until
the railroads are in better position,
or the balmy days of spring come to
chase away the necessity for artificial
heat.
