ton, rushing the position and captur-
ing the battery and its crew. In this

Later when the party came upon two
more machine guns, this officer sent
men to the TANKS. while he rushed

gun. Capt. Mallon's home az ,ess is

GOVERNOR PRocLAIMS
JEWISH RELIEF DAYS

Five days, beginning April z and
ending April IL, are declared Jewish
War Relief days in Kentucky by
proclamation of Gov. A. 0. Stanley:
During this period of very in
tensive campaign to raise funds for
immediate relief for destitute Jews
in Europe and Asia will be carried
on throughout the state to raise Ken
tucky's quota of the fund to be rails
ed in the nationwide campaign.
The governors proclamation in full
is as follows:
''To the People of Kentucky, Greet
ings: Whereas, the receding armies
of the Central Powers have left in
their wake indescribable scenes of
suffering and privation, torture, fam
inc and death; our duty to the OPP
pressed and enslaved peoples of the
Old World is only half finished when
the invader is driven from the border
of these suffering lands. 1t is a
pleasant and Christian duty to min
lister to the wants of those whom we
have made free.
"The boon of freedom itself can
not save the starving from death, or
the naked from the winds of winter,
or house the homeless.
"Today upon the eastern front
there are untold millions of men, wo-
men and children of the Jewish race
who are in the direst need of the sim
plest necessities of life, and unless
they find succor here, and find it with
out delay, these wan sufferers will
sink forever under the burdens of
want and oppression, torture and out
rage, which no tongue can tell or
pen portray.
"To the aid of these victims of
brutality the Kentucky Division Of
the American Jewish Relief commit
tee has determined to carry cam
paign for the raising of funds.
Therefore, l, A. o. Stanley, gov
ernor of Kentucky, issue this procla-
nation setting aside April 7 to IL,
1919, as Jewish War Relief days in
the State of Kentucky.
In testimony WnereoI nave
caused these letters to be made pat
ent, and the seal of the common
wealth to hereunto affixed. Done at
Frankfort, the oath day of March,
in the year of Our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and nineteen, and in the
one hundred and twenty-seventh
year of the commonwealth.

PRINCES DUGOUT IN
THE ARCONNE A MARVEL


London Prince Rupprecht's
waldhaus in the Argonne is to be
kept as a national curiosity 1t is
probably the mos. elaborate dugout
that was ever made Dug into the
hillside, concreted and camouhaged
so deliberately that from a few yards
off you still do not perceive it, it con-
sists of four or five good sized rooms
of which those nearest the hillside
have iron shutters. The rooms are
panelled and painted, and there is
also swimming bath of about nine
4y feet in length and sixty in width.
Electric light is everywhere provid-
ed for and so is hot and cold water
A passage leading from the front
of the dugout conducts you down
sixty feet and in perfect safety. The
passage in no longer passable, as wa
ter has filed it up. During the war
pumps were kept going constantly
to keep it dry. Just outside, and for
less stormy periods, is german bier
garden with tables and chairs and
iower beds. The Germans evident-
" meant to stay a good deal longer
for everything had the appearance Of
a very hurried departure.

Monk,s cowl.

The cowl, or hood, was originally q
Eovering for the head to protect it
from the inclemency Of the weather,
and was worn by all classes without
distinction. It's ready adaptation to
conceal the features led to its adop-
ton ut a very early age by monks
-and ascetics. As these multiplied and
formed themselves into various dis
tinet orders, their hoods assumed q
different fashion in cut, color and ma
terial. From the monks 1t passed to
the cathedral and collegiate churches,
and from them to the universities.

SAMUEL woopFILL,
First Lieutenant, Company NJ, Goth
Infantry.


Three acts of conspicuous daring in
one day near Cunel, France, October
II, 1918, won the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross for Lieut. WoOdfll. While
he was leading his company against
the enemy his line came under heavy
machine gun fire, which threatened to
hold up the advance. Followed by
two soldiers at twenty-five yards, this
officer went out ahead of his first line
toward q machine gun nest and
worked his way around its flank, leav-
ing the two soldiers in front. When
he got within ten yards Of the gun
it ceased firing and four of the enemy
appeared, three of whom were shot
by Lieut.. Woodfill. The fourth, an
officer, rushed at Lieut.. Woodfll, who
attempted to club the officer with his
rifle. After a hand-to-hand struggle,
Lieut.. Woodfill killed the officer with
his pistol. His company thcreupon
continued to advance until shortly
afterward another machine gun nest
WAS G0COuHleT6u. OdlllilS HIS lltn W
follow, Lieut.. Woodfill rushed ahead
of his line in the face of heavy fire
from the nest. and when several of
the enemy appeared above the nest
he shot them, capturing three other
members of.the crew and silencing the
gun. few minutes later this officer,
for the third time, demonstrated con-
spicuous daring by charging another
machine gun position, killing five men
in one machine gun pit with his rifle.
He then drew his revolver and started
to jump into the pit when two other
gunners only few yards away turned
their gun on him. Failing to kill them
with his revolver, he grabbed pick
lying near by and killed both of them.
by the exceptional courage
displayed by this officer, his men
pressed on to their objective under
severe shell and machine gun fire.
Lieut.. Woodfill is married and lives
at 1877 Alexandria Pike, Fort Thomas,
