Maxwell Wins First
Prize at Dixie Auto Show

That Maxwell took first
honors before thousands OF
people who thronged the
grandstand and adjoining
spaces as the Tennessee State
Fair is the gratifying infor-
nation recently received by
Edward LaSalle.
Contrary to auto shows of
other fairs, driving was not
the chief factor but it was
the cars themselves. W. W.
Dillon, Adjutant. General of
Tennessee, Baxter Sweeney
and Major Hoagland, U. S.
A. were named judges Of the
show. Six classes were up
for Judging. In each one
first, second, and third prizes
were awarded.
In the first class, cars
$1,000 and under, a Maxwell
driven by Mrs. Ed. Polk won
first honors. Second prize
went to a Ford driven by S.
s. McMurray. A Ford coupe
driven by Egbert Hill was
third.

Regiment, v. S. M. c.

Sergt. Hoffman received the Dis
tinguiShed Service Cross for an act of
conspicuous gaIlantry 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, several counter-at-
lacks were launched against the line
before the new position had been CON
sOlidated. Sergt. Hoffman was at
tempting to organize position on the
north slope of the hill when he saw
twelve.o of the enemy, armed with five
light machine guns, crawling toward
his group. Giving the alarm, he rushed
at the hostile detachment, bayOnatted
the two leaders, and forced the others
TO flee, abandoning their guns. His
quick initiative and courage routed the
enemy from position from which they
could have swept the hill with machine
gun fire and forced the withdrawal OF
our forces. His home is in Brooklyn,
n. Y.

was crossing the Mouse river and canal
at a bridgehead opposite Clery-le-Pe-
tit, the bridge over the canal was de-
stroyed by shell fire and Capt. ALI
worth's command became separated,
part of it being on the east bank of the

ing slow Roadway up the steep slope
ahead, this officer mounted the canal
bank and called for his men to follow.
Plunging in he swan across the canal
under fire from the enemy, followed by
his men. Inspiring his men by his ex-
ample Of gallantry, he led them up the
slope, joining the hard-pressed pla-
toons In front. By his personal leader
ship he forced the enemy back for
more than kilometer, overcoming ma
chine gun nests and capturing hun
dred prisoners, whose number exceed
ed that of the men in his command.
The exceptional courage and leader
ship displayed by Capt. Allworth made
possible the re-establishment of a
bridgehead over the canal and the sue
cessful advance of other troops. Capt.
Allworth's home is at Crawford, Wash

Iondoners Opposed Bridge.

When the population of London was
well over a million and it's houses lay
for miles on each side of the river ii
was apparently well content with one
London bridge. At length, in 1874,
Westminster was seized with the de-
sire to have a bridge of it's own. APP
plicatiOn was made to parliament for
powers, only to encounter the fiercest
opposition from the city, the 10000
watermen, the inhabitants of South
wark. and the west country bargemen,
all of whom implored the commons to
protect them against this new enemy.
The result was that the bridge was not
built till 1850. Blackfriars, at first
called Pitts bridge, was finished in
1869, at a cost Of 100000. betrayed
by tolls. Waterloo was opened on the
second anniversary of the great battle,
with great pomp by the prince regent
in person. accompanied by his royal
brother, the duke of York, the duke Of
Wellington and many other distin-
guished persons.

THOMAS o. NEIsoUR,
Private, Company M, 18TH Infantry

Private NeibOur, whose home is at
Sugar City, Idaho, was decorated for
conspicuous gallantry in action near
Landres-et-St. Georges, France, OctO-
Der 10, 1918. On the afternoon of OC-
tOber 16, when the Cote de Chatillen
had just been gained after bitter fight
ing, and the summit of that strong bull
wark in the krienhilde Stellung was be
ing organized, Private NeibOur was
sent on patrol with his automatic rifle
squad TO enfilade enemy machine gun
nests. AS Private NeibOur gained the
ridge he set up his automatic rifle and
was directly thereafter wounded i'll
both legs by fire from hostile machine
gun on his flank. The advance wave
of the enemy troops communicating
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 rifle
in operation to such effect that by his
own efforts and by fire from the Skin
mish line of his 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 prisoners at the point of his pis-
tOl and, although painfully wounded,
brought them back to our lines. The
cOunter-attack in full force was ar
rested, to large extent, by the single
Efforts of this soldier, whose heroic ex-
plcits took place against the skyline
in full view of his entire battalion.
