aSergt. Hoffman Teceiyed the Dis
tinguished Service Cross for an act OF
conspicuous gallantry In action with
the enemy near Chateau-Thierry
France, June 6, 1918. Immediately
after the company in which Sergt.
Hoffman belonged had reached Its OBJ
jective on Hill 142.fseyeral counter-at-
tacks were launched against the line
before the new position had been con-
solidated. Sergt. Hoffman was at
tempting to organize a position on the
north slope of the hill when he saw
twelve .of the enemy, armed with five
light machine guns, crawling toward
his group. Giving the alarm, he rushed
at the hostile detachment, bayonetted
the two leaders, and forced the others
to flee, abandoning their guns. His
quick initiative and courage routed the
enemy from a position from which they
could have swept the hill with machine
gun fire ard forced the withdrawal Of
our forces. His home Is In Brooklyn,

THOMAS o. NEIRoUR,
Private, Company N, 18TH infantry.

WI thst 70
Private Nelbour, whose home is at
Sugar City, Idaho, was decorated for
conspicuous gallantry in action near
Landres-et-St. Georges, France, Octo-
Der 16, 1913. On the afternoon of Oc-
tober 16, when the Cote de Chatillen
had just been gained after bitter fightt
ing, and the summit OF that strong bull
wark in the krienhilde Stellung was be-
ing organized, Private Neibour was
sent IN patrol with his automatic rifle
squad to enfilade enemy machine gun
nests. AS Private Neibour gained the
ridge he set UP his automatic rife and
was directly thereafter wounded In
both legs by fire from a hostile machine
gun on his flank. The advance wave
of the enemy troops counter-attacking
had about gained the ridge and al
though practically cut off and sur
rounded, the remainder of his detach-
ment being killed or wounded, this
gallant soldier kept his automatic rife
in operation to such effect that by his
own efforts and by fire from the Skin
mish line of hes company at least 100
yards in his rear the attack, was
checked. The enemy wave being halt
ed and lying prone, four of the enemy
attacked Private Neibour at close
quarters, These he killed. He then
moved along among the enemy lying
on the ground about him, in the midst
of the fire from his own lines, and by
his goodness and gallantry captured
eleven prisonerssat the point of his pis-
tol and, although painfully wounded,
brought them BACK to our lines. The
couptd- attaok in full force was ar.
rested, to p large extent, By; the single
efforts of'this soldier, whose heroic ex.
PLOTS took place against the skyline
in full view Of his entire battalion.

League of Nations Issue Abcorbs.

Events on this side of the ocean in
come ction with the league OF ma
tions plan continue to attract inter.
est and attention. 1t is subject OF
note and comment by statesmen ana
others that apparently no public
question since the free silver cam
paign of 1896 has taken so sudden
and complete grip upon the mass OF
the people as the issue now under
agitation. This is demonstrated. X
is declared, by the fact that 1t IS
general topic of conversation at some
stage of the proceedings wherever
people congregate or meet up with
one another.
1t is notable also. it is said. with
what intensity the plain people dis
cuss the proposition and how
wrought up over it they quickly be-
come Party lines are followed to a
large degree, it is thought by those
teresting situation. and likewise are
lines of personal leadership pursued.
That is to say, people who are de-
voted admirers of President Wilson,
and their name is legion, it is de-
clared, take up the cudgels for the
league of nations plan and VII not
hear to any objections against IT..
lyze it satisfactorily. but they re-
ceive it in a lump. because Wilson
says it is all right" The same with
people who are supporters of Mr.. Taft,
and in the other and opposing group
those who have unbounded confidence
in the judgment of Senators Knox,
Lodge. Borah. Poindexter and others
reject the plan "bodaciously" and for
reasons refer one to the speeches of
their fayoriteS.

the three hotels. that there be no i'm
position of sentence in the hotel cases.

stances surrounding the case. accept
