SENATOR ATTACKS ILLINOIS U.
Sends Letter of Criticism to Dean Who
Asks Vote for League.

A dispatch from Urbana, ILL.,, says
that Dean Ballentine, of the faculty
of the University of Illinois, recently
wrote Senator L. Y. Sherman, urging
the senator to support the League OF
Nations, saying it was his opinion
that THE sentiment of the faculty and
students of the university is practi-
cally unanimous in demanding the rat
ification of this covenant, and that
nothing will arouse our. indignation
more than the failure of the Senate,
and particularly our representative
therein, to do their best to secure such
ratification"
In answer to the communication the
senator defended his course in the
Senate and said, with reference to the
covenant, that he had come to the
unalterable conclusion that it is 4
menace to the United States Govern
ment and American people, and 9TH
erwise supported his stand. The sen-
ator's letter continued:
81 shall not vote, even at the risk
Of arousing additional indignation
among the students and faculty of
your institution, to make our govern
ment and our country subject to such
a league.

JOSEPH WYNN FOR SURVEY
OR

In the announcements this week
will be found the name of Joseph
Wynn as a candidate for the Of
flee of county surveyor, subject to
the action of the democratic pri-
mary to be held in August. Mr..
Wynn filed his name as candi-
dat for this office prior to the
first Monday in May, and at the
executive committee meeting on
the first Monday in May he was
declared the nominee. However,
since that time some doubt seems
to exist whether or not the time
expired on that date for an
nouncements, and wishing to do
the thing in the right way, Mr..
Wynn authorizes The News to
give his candidacy the regular
course.
We don't know of any man in
Rankin county better qualified to
fill the office of county surveyor
than Mr.. Wynn. He has all the
educational qualifications, and
has had considerable experience
in that line. He owns valuable
field notes of the county, and all
instruments necessary for the
work.
A good competent surveyor is
very valuable asset to any county,
and those who are familiar with
Mr.. Wynn's capacity for this
work, feel that the county will be
very fortunate in securing him to
fill the place.

1t is hopeful sign when men
of affairs consent to allow the
use of their names for members
of the Legislature. There never
was a time in the history of the
State when Mississippi's patrio-
tism and ability were more need
ed than now. It is just as neces-
sary to have good Legislature
as it is to have a good governor.
In this connection The News
is delighted to see that Hon. w.
S. Barry, of Leflore County, has
consented to the use of his name
again for member of the House.
He is a man of affairs, Of broad
views and will be not only
great benefit to his home county,
but to the entire State of Miss
issippi. In the previous session
of the Legislature those acquaint-
ed with the facts say that he had
the strongest personal following
of any man in the Legislature
and this trait always counts for
much in a Legislative body. The
members from the hill section
had implicit confidence in Mr..
Barry's integrity and ability
with reference to Delta matters,
especially to levees, and they
follow his judgement on all levee
matters practically to a man.

Until June 1917, A. G. Hawie
an unknown Assyrian boy, SEEM
ed to be doomed to live life of
obscurity. But when America
entered the world war, notwith-
standing Hawie was an alien,
and had the right to be classified
and exempted as such, he sold his
little business, from which he
was realizing a meagre but
honorable livelihood, and tender
ed his services to the United
States. He enlisted in the First
Alabama Infantry at Mobile, and
went to mobilization camp near
Montgomery. In the process of
making up the 167th Regiment,
which was destined to be a part
of the famous Rainbow Division,
the desire being to select the best
specimens Of physical apd mental
manhood, Hawie was greatly dis
appointeN when notified that be-
cause of his size, he could not
qualify for this unit. But the
sturdy young foreigner insisted
that if he could be useful in no
other way, he was willing to go
along and carry water for the
real soldiers. It was because Of
this spirit that he was finally ac-
copied. He not only made good,
but so impressed his officers that
he was sent to France in advance
of his regiment to take special
training in machine gun work.
Hawie arrievd in France in Octo-
Der, 1917, and entered upon this
work. After five weeks of train
ing at Camille, France, he was
transferred to the British front
at La Bassee, France, for fur
Their special instructions, where
he remained for about a week,
rejoining his regiment at La
Fonce, in order to give them the
benefit of his special training.
He accompanied his division to
the Baccarat sector on the AL
SAGE Lorraine front, where they
remained on the defensive from
February 2, 1918, to June 10,
1913. From thence they were
transferred to the Champagne
front, where they saw their first
real fighting. July IA, 1918, be-
ing a French national holiday,
which was widely celebrated, the
Boche conceived the idea that the
following day would be a psyche
logical time to strike a master
blow, but it seems that this in
tention was anticipated. The
French were instructed to occupy
the first line of trenches and the
Rainbow Division was placed in
the second line trenches with the
understanding that when the
Boche came over the French were
to retire to the second line
trenches and give the American
boys show at them. It was in
this second line trench that
young Hawie for the first time
met the real fighting Germans.
The Huns delivered two frightful
attacks, but they stood like V
stone wall. After waiting for an
hour in anticipation Of 3 third
assault, the rank and file Of TIE
division came to the conclusion
that the shock troops 81 Germany
had had enough and there would
be no third as1f IL, 80

the officers lost control of the
American boys. 1t was difficult
to restrain them in their trenches
beneath an artillery barrage
which cast it's glow for hundreds
of miles and painted the skies
a fiery red and Jared the win
dows of Paris over a hundred
miles away. The American
doughboys broke away from the
restraint of their officers, and
went after the Boche, driving
them back four, kilometers. Dur
ing this drive German quarter
master sergeant was captured,
and the Americans found on him
written instructions from the
German command directing him
to plant his supplies 10 kilome-
tiers behind the line, where the
Germans first struck the Ameri-
cans, and toward Paris. But this
unfortunate distributor of sup
plies found himself 33 kilometers
from the desired point. In the
American onrush, young Hawie
was the first man to mount the
approach to the Germans third
line trench, and there it was that
he had his first peek at the fam
Gus Prussian guards, one of
whom deliberately poked his rifle
over the top of the trench and
fired pointblank at Hawie. But
Hawie anticipated this move and
fell backward upon his back.
Then it was that member Of
the famous guard brutally crush
ed him and told him to come on
for he had at last met real Ger
man soldier, and he wanted to
give him something to go back
and tell the American people.
Hawie raised to his knees, tap
ped the fuse cap of hand gre
made, flung it into the face of
this guard with the taunt," Yes
and you take that back to Ger
many" The grenade struck the
guards steel brest plate, bounced
off and fell between his knees
with the result that he was blown
out of the trench in pieces. Hawie
sprang to his feet and furiously
began to hurl hand grenades into
the trench. The other boys,
catching his spirit, followed suit,
and literally smoked Germany's
picked army from its hole. AS
the result of this gallant deed at
his very first opportunity. Hawie
received two very unwholsome
and unsolicited kisses on his
cheek from an ugly bearded
French officer, accompanied by
q Croix de Guerre.
From this hour on until two
days before the armisticc was
signed, Hawie was conspicuous
for his daring bravery, and stop
ped only when he was dragged
back to hospital suffering from
an almost fatal machine gun bull
let. Succeeding in this initial
battle, the Rainbow Division con-
tinued to furiously pound the
Boche and drove them back II
