July %, 1918. Corporal Manning was
In charge of an automatic rifle squad
during an assault by his battalion on
the strongly fortified heights overlook
Ing the Ourcq river for the purpose of
exploiting the successful passage Of
the stream. During the advance on
the hill his platoon commander was
killed and just as the crest was
reached the platoon sergeant was
wounded. Corporal Manning then as
sumed command of the platoon, which
was near the center of the assaulting
line and was meeting with desperate
resistance. Though he himself was
severely wounded and was the only
survivor of his squad, this soldier led
forward the 35 electives remaining in
the platoon against an enemy strong
point which was wired, intrenched and
defended by machine guns and domi-
mated the entire Ourcq valley. He was
repeatedly wounded, but he succeeded
in getting a .foothOld at this strong
point with but seven men remaining
with him. While the latter consolidat-
ed their position under his direction,
with the platoon on the flank, he held
off considerable number of the enemy
SO yards away by fire from his auto
matte rifle. He remained in this posi-
ton until the entire line had been con-
solidated, when he crawled back to
shelter, having received nine wounds.

twenty-five yards of the gun with his
right leg nearly severed above the
knee, and with several bullet holes in
his body, with undaunted courage, he

ment from a prone position, killing
two of the enemy and dispensing the
rest of the crew. Private Dilboy'S

Paris March 24.-America's SOW
eighty and the Monroe doctrine will be
fully safeguarded by the amended con-
stitution of the league Of nations.
The subcommittee which is drawing
up the language of the amendments
to the covenant has been instructed
to so phrase the document as to pro-
vide guarantees that all nations will be
able to make international relations
compatible with their national consti-
tutions.
President Wilson and Colonel House
advocate the insertion of a clause in
the covenant providing that no nation
may acquire territory in the western
hemisphere. either by purchase, treaty
or conquest without Americas APP
prevail, it was learned.
Wilson's Attitude Opposed.
This attitude is meeting with some
opposition by the league committee,
but it is believed the American dele
gates will bring pressure to bear to
insure such a clause in the final league
draft.
The league of nations commission
spent all of Saturday working on the
document and whipping amendments
into shape for insertion into the final
draft.
While the covenant will not speci.
fically mention the Monroe doctrine
the principle of the American plan
will be closely adhered to in formation
of the league treaty.
The peace conference has offered
seat in the league of nations commits.

Racial Problem Up Today.
The conference recOnvened at $3.50
o'clock this morning, wien the league
again received consideration. The con-
ference also will consider the Japanese
amendment regarding racial privileges
and the French proposal regarding a
general staff.
President Wilson was working Sun
day on plan which he hopes will
adjust the differences of the nations at
the conference, especially that regard
ing Italian claims to Fiume.
Provisions for economic pressure on
states breaking the peace treaty will
be brought up for consideration this
week.

and another grenade thrown over him,
he threw a bomb inside, bursting the
door open, and then, drawing his
trench knife, rushed into the emplace-
