SAMUEL WOODFlLL,
First Lieutenant, Company M, Goth
infantry.

Three acts of conspicuous daring III
one day near Cunel, France, October
II, 1918, won the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross for Lieut.. Woodfill. Whlle
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 a machine gun nest and
worked his way around it's 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.. WOodfill, who
attempted to club the officer with mis-
rifle. After a hand-to-hand struggle,
Lieut.. Woodfill killed the officer with
bis pistol. His company thereupon
continued to advance until shortly
afterward another machine gun nest
was encountered. Calling his men to
follow, Lieut.. Woo it'll 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. A few minutes later this officer,
for the third time, demonstrated con-
spicuous daring by charging another
machine gun position, killing five men
ia one machine gun pit with his rifle.
he then drew his revolver and started
20 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 a pick
lying near by and killed both of them.
Inspired 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
ut 1877 Alexandria Pike, Fort Thomas,
Ky.

ROSENBERRY WINS
BY $4,000 VOTES
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE HAS
AN EASY VICTORY OVER
J. T. DITHMAR.
SOCIALISTS BADLY BEATEN
All Non-Partisan Candidates Elected
to School Board and On Judicial
Ticket in MIwaukee-More
Than $4,000 Women Vote.

Milwaukee, April 2.-Justice Msr-
win B. Rosenberg was reelected to
the Supreme court over julius T.
Dithmar in Tuesdays election by an
estimated majority of $4,000.
Milwaukee county, with all pre-
cincts heard from, gave Justice Ros-
enberry 25,061 votes as against 1924
for Dithmar, majority of II, 1877 for
Rosenberg.
The outcome indicates that senti-
ment in Wisconsin is overwhelmingly
in favor of re-electing sitting judges
when their records entitIe them to
reelection.
Justice Rosenberg was appointed
by Gov. E. L. Philip to the Supreme
court on Feb. II, 1916, to succeed the
late John Barnes, who had resigned
the Supreme court over Charles H
Crownhart to fill the unexpired term
of Judge Barnes.

Milwaukee resulted in the defeat OF

breaking vote of nearly 10000 was
cast for school directors, of which
more than $4,000 votes were cast by
women. The school directors elected
are Edward Freschl, Gertrude Sher-
man, j. H. Zens, R. B. Charlton and
Ida l.. Schnell. These candidates re
ceived an average of 5O,813 votes
against an average of 1857 cast for
the five socialist candidates.
Non-partisan judicial candidates
elected are: Circuit judge, G. G.
Gehrz; municipal judge, A. C. Back
US; county judge, NJ S. Sheridan
district judge, G. E. Page; civil judges
A. ]. Hedding and M F. Blenski
clerk of the municipal court, J. w
