SHING'S SOLDIERS
Read the Story of Americas I'm
mortals" That Will Appear m
This Paper From Week to

Thousands of members of the
American army in France-officers
and privates-performed feats of
such unusual bravery under fire that
they were awarded the Distinguished
Service Cross in recognition of their
gallantry. There is a thrilling story
behind each one of these awards that
is we'll worth telling. but many pages
of newspaper space would be required
to print them all. Realizing this. Gen.
eral Pershing's staff has selected out
of the thousands of cases a number
that stand out above the others and
that typify most strongly the bravery
and self-sacrifice displayed by the
American army throughout the
bloody fighting In France.
The Herald has arranged to print
the stories of these super-heroes OF
the American army. They are re-
markable stories. telling of feats OF
bravery and physical prowess that
would almost be unbelievable were
they not taken from the official rec
ords. Some of these stories appear on
another page of this issue of The
Herald and others will be printed
from week to week. You will no.
want to miss any Of them after you
have read the first ones.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Two hundred busy business men of
Oklahoma City grabbed time from
the middle of busy day recently to
hear Scott Ferris, Oklahoma con-
gressman. explain the league of ma
tions. These men were glad of the
chance to learn something OF what
this league means and were more
than willing to take the time from
their business TO do so. Mr.. Ferris
began by saying that there were 25
salient points in the proposed consti-
tuition of nations and that he would
touch on them briefly, He did men.

The following poem, sent to this

who Ii now overseas, was written by
his sergeant and by him. through Pvt.
Taylor. dedicated to The Herald
The editor of this paper is indeed
proud that In far-away Germany q

The Herald and appreciates our at
tempt at service enough to request
this dedication by his sergeant. The
poem follows:
There's a Hnl In France. No. 20s
Where the boys OF the Sd mako the
old Kaiser sore.
They plunged up the Hill with hellish
And there they showed Bill. they knew
how to fight.
The Prussian Guard met them. the
choice Of Bilrs flock.
But failed to stop them OF even re-
cover the shock.
personally saw the wounded come
back
with a smile on their face that was
more than crack.
One little fellow. not out OF his teens
With the Army hard tack and GUS
Stiii strapped to his waist in military
style
And had on his face the old U. s. A.
smile.
His eyes were radiant as his exper-
fences he told
How the boys of the Sd met the
Prussian bold
on his face were the marks of his en- =
counter cold
With the beasts of the Kaiser. the
horde known of old.
The story was simple with no boast or
brag
But it made you feel not unlike an
old nag.
To think of this youth with no beard
on his face
But courage within him to take a
mans place
No doubt his mother forbade him to go
But he was determined to see the Big
Show
There were many more like him whom
7 did see
All telling their stories with faces Of
glee
This shows the spirit OF young America

Supposed to be school boys so the
Germans told.
What must they have thought when the
struggle was DER
When they lay on the ground both
bleeding and sore?
OF course. well admit, some of ours

But this youth was willing as no
doubt were the rest
Tradition will record this battle of yore
That happened on Hill No. 20i.

ELECTION MACHINE PUT TO
WORK

The recen. primary in Oklahoma
City demonstrated very clearly that
the Oklahoma election law is a
dangerous thing in the hands of men
who are politically interruptions. II
demonstrated that the better demo-
Gratis who have been smugly satisfied
with the law because they felt that its
operations were not directed toward
them. are caught by this pernicious
law Just as surely and securely as the
republicans are. Thousands of demo-
Gratis were compelled to stand help
lessly by while the election machin-
cry operated to their detriment, and
also their chagrin. The county regis
trar, appointed by former Governor
Williams because of his peculiar fit
ness for the job, saw to II that the
precinct registrars. in dozens of pre-
cincts, safely hid out from the repub-
lican women who desired to register.
and that the democratic women who
stood for decent city and good gov
ernment. Jared little better.
On the other hand women who
could be depended upon to vote for
the machine candidate were sought
out and handed certificates. many
registrars or their deputies CONTRARY
to law making the rounds from
house to house to do so. Women
were registered up to and on the day
Of the primary election. II Is report
ed on good authority.
Literally thousands OF republican
women were prevented from voting
because of the disregard of law by
the registrars. The whole thing was
worked on system by these
manipulators of an election Law de-
signed for just such practices.
Just how long the good citizens OF
Oklahoma are going to permit this
sort of work to continue no one
knows but from the temper of the
people who have had their American
ism humiliated, citizenship insulted.
and their sense OF fairness outraged
II is not going to be very long. The
great war has taught some lessons
that are mighty apt to be made use
OF.

To Place State
Flag in Schools

Attention! Editors, Teachers anc
all Patriotic Orders. Here's to thu
flag of Tennessee Will you not helI
US put it in every school building ir
the State?
At a meeting of the Sam Davis
Chapter of U. D. c., last May, a COM
mittee was appointed to buy the
State flag and place one in each
school building in Morristown. We
the ndisbanded for the summer At
our first meeting in September, the
committee reported that the State
nag could not be bought for the rea-
son that it was not manufactured.
Authorities at Nashville were consult
ed, they kindly sent dimentions and
pictures giving the colors. Our State
idopted its flag in 1905. Compare
lively few people have seen it, and
many do not know we have a State
flag; and we, the United Daughters of
the Confederacy, ask the co-opera-
tlon of editors, teachers, and all pa
trlotic organizations to see that our
State flag is recognized by every Ten
nessean. Help us to place it in the
public buildings and schools through
out the State.
In these days of unrest, in this re-
construction period, it behooves
every loyal citizen to exert every eff
fort to awaken and strengthen pa
triotism. Begin at home; instill it in
the children in their infancy; teach
it in the schools. We have neglected
this too long already Until this aw
ful war, we, of the Southland, never
realized the strong foothold gained
by the foreign element. We regard
ed this land of liberty as a vast melt
ing pot, where we would mix and min
gle in the pursuit of happiness; where
1onor to the flag and love for the
country that gave them shelter was
he inevitable sequence; and so, with
Dutstretched arms we welcomed the

'ans-children of foreign parentage,
