PUT DOWN ILLITERACY,

Right in accord with what might
be expected is the support which
President Emeritus Eliot of Harvard
is giving to the movement which has
long been under way, but which has
recently been gathering new force, Of
reducing the large amount of Sitter
acy in this country. Like others who
have dealt with the matter President
Eliot calls attention to the reveal
rions of the war and the fact that it
was shown that IT of the men called
to the Colors were illiteratGs It was
the case that there were hundreds of
men who could not understand the
orders which were given them. could
not read or write and therefore coul1
not personally look after any mail
which was sent them OF for that
matter improve their situation I the

Repeatedly has 1t been set forth
that illiteracy prevailed to TOO Iarge
a degree in this country. ddc to tho
laXity in regard to school regulations
in certain states and the many aliens
who come to this country AMI fail to
get acquainted with the rudinents Of
the English language. With such &
large proportion of those called for
military service deficient in this re-
spect, it means many of the ~oung
men of the country are not only
handicapped in getting the full ad-
vantage of American institutions and
methods but they are likewise Z han
dicaD to the country.
There is thus a crying nee c,I the
devotion Of greater attention to the
elimination of this state of affairs

MOSCOW SOLDIER GETS RECOG-
NITION OF GALLANTRY FROM
GENERAL PERSHING

Llepte1ant Otto Stillinger TO-DAY
received citation for gallantry in

The citation, signed by General Johr
, j.. Pershing reached him through the

Says:
Second Lieutenant Otto Stillinger
gas officer of the Third battalion of
the 18th field artillery, for distin-
guished and exceptional gallantry at
Laneuville on the 7th of November,
1918, in the operation of the Ameri-

j. Pershing.
"Awearded 9th of March, 1919."
Lieutenant Stillinger was with a
battery of artillery and the company
was ordered to take one gun and go
in advance of the infantry. They
took four guns with eight men to each
and advanced 300 meters under or
ders to fire upon and destroy the
Metz-Sedan railroad which was be-
ing used by the Germans to trans
port troops and supplies. In the
fighting that followed 20 per cent of
the men were killed and others
wounded, putting some of the guns
out of commission. Lieutenant Still
linger took command after the Off
GER in charge had been killed He
was acting as gas officer and direct
ing the defences against German gas
A German "whizz-bang" as the Ger
man IT'S were called, lit up the scene
Git being night and located the bat
terry and concentrated the fire from
three batteries upon the position.
The battery had been ordered to hold
the position for one day but held it
four days under heavy fire. Lieu
tenant Stillinger used the least
wounded of his men to man the guns
and put the railroad out of commits
sion. He was knocked down and one
ear drum burst by the explosion of
a shell few feet distant. They were
holding the position when the arm
istice was signed on November IL.
Lieutenant Stillinger returned to
the United States and was mustered
out and had returned to civil life.
