LIEUT.. DIXON HELPED 10 PUT B|G BERTHA OUT OF COMMISSION
Local Lawyer Wins Highest Honors For Conspicuous Gallantry, But Loses a
 Leg In Fighting

Wearing the grand cross of the Legion of Honor, the croix de guerre with two palms and the 'fourragere," a shoulder ornament, all awards for distinguished conduct and conspicuous bravery on the battlefields of France, Lieutenant Frank NJ Dixon, of the aero service, has returned to the city and resumed the practice of law He is also minus leg, having been so severely wounded in a fight with Ger man machine gunners that amputation was necessary.
 Lieutenant Dixon joined up as an observer in the American heavy artil- lery and shortly after reaching France was transferred to the 210th squadron and later to the Fifty-fifth squadron in the air service of the French. He was presented with the croix de guerre with two palms, the medal of the legion of honor and the "fourragere," which was given to the entire squad ron for discovering ard putting the big guns which were sheling Paris out of commission. This decoration is worn on the shoulder and around the arm.
 Lieutenant Dixon secured his com mission at the 1lTSI OlllCcIS camp at Fort McPherson and went overseas in September, 1917. He was transferred to the French aviation service and on December 6, 1917. was sent up to the front. He made many flights over the German lines, observ. ing the heavy artillery fire, remaining on the Champagne front until March s7, when the French made their big drive. From this time until he was wounded on July 21, 1918, he made trip over the enemy lines every other day observing and investigating the strong points of the enemy.
 DROPPED 2OOO FEET
 "In this work a fellow hardly ever made more than four trips over," said Lieutenant Dixon, ''but I managed to keep at this game until was wounded. Whenever you started out you always had several Hun flyers after you, and although it was very exciting at times one never knew whether he would re- turn or not. I had three narrow es capes just a few days before they got me. Once I dropped 2000 feet the pilot having lost control of the plane. How ever, we succeeded in gaining control after that drop and avoided smash up. I was brought down behind the enemy lines twice, once with my plane in flames and again when bullet penetrated the radiator of my machine On both occasions l was forced to jump into shell holes and crawled out from hole to hole just like a snake.

PRAISE FOR SALVATION ARMY

The American Red Cross and the Salvation Army were splendid to the men and were the bright spots in the lives of the men overseas They were always on hand when needed and they men in the hospitals when they were sorely in need of it than anything else could do Too much cannot be said of the service these organizations rem dered the soldiers and the men will forever be indebted to these brave men and women who served them on every occasion
 The Alabama men certainly made record for themselves and I regret very
 much that I was not a member Of this organization. On every turn I would hear of the wonderful things these men had done aud I was indeed proud of the men from the state of my adop- tion.
 Birmingham looks mighty good to
 me and I am glad to be back home again. When I look back over the past two years during which time I have been in the service, it seems more like

WON DECORATIONS

When asked how he secured his dec orations, Lieutenant Dixon modestly said he had been given them for vol. untary missions, such as locating tn, strong points of the enemy lines and discovering machine gun nests. The croix de guerre with one palm was presented to him on the field by the commander of the Tenth French army. He was recommended for the legion of
 honor about a week before he was wounded. but received it while in the hospital, as we'll as another palm for his croix de guerre.
 q was for several weeks an in- structor in an American school which
 was attended by Bill Badham," he said, "and although I went over with sew
 eral local boys I never saw or heard of any of them until arrived in Birming-
 ham today.
 "Just after I was wounded I wrote to Captain Frank White, telling him how it had happened and asking him to write to me, as I was lonely He was kind enough to have the letter published in the papers and I received a number of letters from people didn't know in Alabama. These letters were greatly appreciated and I was unable to. write at the time, as I was flat on my back, my leg having been amputated. I intended to keep them and answer each one of them, but in being moved from hospital to hospital on a stretcher they were lost and have been unable to answer them. Those letters came at a time when ] needed them most, and am most grateful to the people who wrote them

 The champion probably will have 50 or 60 pounds the better of Demp- sey in weight. He is expected to scale about 249 ringside, and Demp- sey about 195.
 The boxers themselves will agree upon a referee if possible, but in event of failure, Rickard will make the selection under authority granted by the agreement. He probably would not take such action until two weeks before the fight.
