fIESI ItGutGHdhhf SoSs'
For conspicuous gallantry, beyond
the call of duty, near Sechault, France
September 20 and 30, Lieut.. Robb
was awarded the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross. While leading his platoon
in the assault on Sechault, Lieut.. Robb
was severely wounded by machine gun
fire, but rather than go to the rear Tor
proper treatment, he remained with
his platoon, until ordered to the dress
ing station by his commanding OIL
Ger. Returning within forty-five MN
utes, he remained on duty throughout
the entire night. inspecting his lines
and establishing outposts. Early the
next morning he was again wounded,
once again displaying remarkable de-
votion to duty by remaining In COM
mand of his platoon. Later the same
day n bursting shell added two more
wounds, the same shell killing his
commanding officer and two officers
of his company. He then assumed
command of his company, and organ
lied its position in the trenches. Dis
playing wonderful courage and te-
nacity at the critical times, he was
the only officer of his battalion who
advanced beyond the town and by
clearing machine gun and snipins
posts, contributed largely to the aid
of his battalion in holding their OBJ
jectve. His example Of bravery and
fortitude and his eagerness to con-
tinue with his mission despite severe
wounds, set before the enlisted men
of his command most wonderful
standard of morale and self-sacrifice

Re-Engasing In Trade.
They are reopening corner grocery
stores-only that's not the name for
them in France-and little businesses
of all sorts. They are now freely en-
gaging in the supply trade-it has
been found that throughout the long
hostilities many Germans who had sue
ceeded in remaining in French terri
tory had piled their business of fur
nishing war material TO the army.
Scorn for such traitorous swine who
would sell death-producing stuff for
use against their own countrymen is
laxity of the French government in
permitting thsm such a practice.
For the last few weeks Paris city
officials have been investigating the
presence of so many Germans, and it
has been found that while n few have
been in their old haunts without mo-
lestation from the police during the
war period the greater number have
been drifting in through the Swiss
frontier since the signing of the
armistice.
At present the hands of the police
are completely tied by the fact that
90 per cent of the Germans who re-
mained or have been drifting back are
naturalized as Frenchmen, and the
chamber, with characteristic procras-
tination, keeps putting off passage of
the proper measures to take this nat
uralization from the Germans and per-
NIT the police to oust them.

toll long hours to grow food for idle

va.es the garden. Farm children go
to school from -four to SIX or seven

Farmers Of this country should
thoroughly organize and demand a
sufficient price for their products TO
enable them to enjoy the same edu-

the farmer and his family should
