Consider the gallantry of Corp. John
=. Villepigue of South Carolina. On
october is. 1918. he was sent with
TWO men to scout through the vii.
lege OF Vaux-Andigny. Machine guns
opened. splitting death, killing one of
MS men and wounding the other. The
corporal went on alone Without any
ala or support he pressed on 500
yards In advance Of his platoon, with
smell fire breaking over him and ma
chlne gunners sniping at him. He met
TOUR Huns and killed all of them with
nand grenade. He pressed on $50
yards further, rushed a machine gun
nest and killed four and captured six
boches. With his prisoners and two
light machine guns he rejoined his
command. He was severely wounded
In the arm.
These were the sort of men we
were backing with our Liberty Bond
drives and our war work of 1918. How
small the efforts Of the stay-at-homes,
the last line of defense, seem when
compared with the things these men
ga 1t Is to back up the deeds OF

But. unfortunately. there are some

Sergeant Colvin headed for tie
Post Office. The mall was in and the
crowd was dense in the little lobby.
He couldn't see poster or hand

from the ankles up. he thought to him
self. The postmaster was dimeyed
and non-committal. He "fggered il

1t was then that Sergeant Colvin
took the "bit in his teeth" and swung
himself up on the broad window ledge

down to this mans town to see what

community that Is so dead in the

the matter with an American COM

hands of every Hun who is still alive
and full of poison.
Don't you know that this country
isn't out of the woods YETI That

do your lighting and that they did
what they were sent to do? And
don't you know that this community
has turned its back on its own boys
who died over there and who are
1uried three thousand miles from this
little town.?
The crowd stirred uneasily. Men
looked at their neighbors. Why, the
thing seemed different now. 1t was
like a voice from the half-forgotten
army talking to them. Had they
failed? Hadn't they made their word
good? Somehow all the Indifference
about the loan didn't seem so ane and
so funny as 1t had a while ago.
