Detective Cox onlY resulted in
arousing MOI suspicious on the
part of the police.
He said that he ran because he
was afraid he would get in troubl 2
over bottle of whisky he had on
his person. He told the police that
he threw the bottle into barn as

John Clifford Wearing Y. M. c. A.
Uniform, Proves Himself
Real Hero

New York, Jan. There have
many war heroes, but there is certainly
no more conspicuOusly heroic figure
than John II. Clifford, Baptist minis
ter in time of peace, but real fighter
in time of war, who has been awarded
the Croix de Guerre for extraordinary
herOism in action.
John Clifford, as Y. NJ. c. 4.
worker, braved the red wrath of war.
He has been in the firing zone as
much as the hardest infantryman and
was decorated for most unusual ex-
plot. He was one of three men who
braved incessant enemy shell fire
while rescuing Col. Albertus W. Catlin,
