CITATION FOR BRAVERY
Sergt Litton 7, Thurman Recognized for
Courage and Bravery,

Few presons are aware that Cum
berland county boy has won distinction
for GOODNESS and bravery uder trying
conditions and that he has received a
most creditabIe citation for his acts.
Sergt. Litton T. Thurman, one of
the original volunteers of the company
formed here as company d, is that
person. So modest and reticent has
he been about it that very few persons
have learned of it and it was by the
merest chance.thst the Chronicle editor
became aware of the fact
On more than one occasion he was
recognized for distinguished service
but in each case he was so unfor-
tunate as to lose the papers In this
case, howevr, the citation papers were
sent to his brother, |. L. Thurman.
and received by him before Serg1.
Thurman was discharged from service.
Following is the

CITATION.

" Sergeant Litton 7. (1164983l
Company II 10th Infantry;
During the engagement near
Bellicourt, September 29th,
1918 when all the officers on
duty with his compay had been
wounded, he took charge of
the company, reorganized and
extricated same from a dan
gerous position and led his
men with great success
throughout the day. One occa-
sion, with a few men, he
charged a machine gun post
under heavy machine gun and
grenade fire, putting same out
of action. His coolness and
courage is worthy of much

1t may be news to mary to know
that Sergt Thurman is the man re.
ferred to in the citation of Sergt.
Lemert, as being with him when killed
Sergt. Thurman saw Sergt. Lemert
fall at his side as they reached the top
of the parapet. :Sergt Thurman went
on and put the machine gun nest out
of business. He cold where the body
of Segt. Lener would be found so
that when the burial squad were
gathering up the dead the body was
found whre Sergt. Human said it
would be.
They mounted the machine gun par
apet together and just as they reached
the top machine gun bullet passed
through the body of Sergt. Lemert and
he sank back without uttering a word.
He only frowned and placed his
hand to his back as he fell.
Why Sergt. Thurman was not killed
IN that terrible drive he never will
know. He only knows that by some
miraculous chance he escaped while his
conrad paid the supreme price.
The case of Sergt Litton Thurman
seems not to be the only case of
Cumberland county boy greatly distin-
gushing himself.
The Chronicle is now looking up the
information touching another member
of the volunteer company and we hope
to give it within a short time

ARMENIA SEEKS
 RECOGNITION

Paris, Wednesday. Feb. 26.---CBy The Associated Press. .)---The Ar1ne- nian delegation, in presenting it's case berfore the council of the Great Pow CTS today, stated that the Armenians embraced 60,0 900 square kilimeters, with 900, GOO people and an army of 42,O0o, which took an active part against the Turks. The delegates asked the pow CTS to recognize Armenian independ- ence and proposed that the new ArTne- nian state be placed under the care of designate a mandatory power to assist Armenia pending its development to a self-sustaining basis.
 In pursuance of the recent decision for the early drafting of a preliminary treaty of peace, the council assigned the question of German. Austrian and other enemy boundaries to various commissions. It is understood that the difficulty of locating Germany s western boundary, contiguous to France. has been considerably sirnpl- fled within the last few days by con- sessions from those advocating vari- ous phases, so that present indica-
 tions are for an early agreement on this western frontier.
 Another subject on which material progress is being made toward agree ment is the total amount to be as sesseJ against Germany and other en- eny countries for damages sustained in the war. The commission dealing
 with this subject was widely divided for a. time, but within the past few days notable notifications have been made in the aggr egate of some claims, so that an agreement now seems assured.

ATROCITIES OF
 B0LSHEVIK GUARD

Vladivostok Feb. 27-(Corres- pondence of The Associated Press)- The Russian peasants hate the Red Guard a hundred times more than they ever hated the agents of the for mer Russian Emperor, according to a traveller from Moscow as quoted in the Omsk newspaper, Slovo. Perhaps the traveller says, this may account for some of the fierceness and ruthless ness of the Bolshevik rule.
 Under the Emperor's regime, he says, the murderer of village consta- ble would have been shot and the ex- cautions would have stopped there; but the Bolshevik will shoot scores of peasants for the murder of a Red Guard.
 All the way from Moscow to Tam boy could be seen people called sack k-carrfers'-men and women who had left their towns or villages in the the hope of finding elsewhere bread or wheat. The Bolshevik had orders to shoot all sack carriers, women, chil- dren or old men whether they were in quest of bread for themselves ana their starving families or to sell at higher prices. And they were shot. The traveller claims to have seen some of these people running along the tops of railroad cars jumping from one to another, with the Red Guards shoot ing at them from the platform. The meanings of those struck down were heard far into the night.
 The train passed Tambov, Atakar, Balashev, all situated in a fertile corn country. But nowhere was there even bread for the Russians who had raised the corn. It had been exported nobody could say where.
 A student member of the Com n1tttee to Fight Counter Kultur Revo- lution, who was on the same train. ad- mitted that he and his friends knew that the Social Revolutionaries R well as the Menshevik1 were not counter revolutionists, but the committee he said was obliged to view them as such if they wanted to continue to rule. If communism" he said, will not fit the Russian people, we shall have to abandon the power; but in that case we shall act In a fashion to be remembered for a long time"
 The train passed military trains go- ing to the front. The soldiers appear = ed gloomy and sleepy, principally sleepy. The traveller saw some look ing for q place to lie down but an of ficer. carrying a whip motioned them out. Their grunblings were silenced by the whip or by the sight of a bay onet glistening in the hands of a sail or who accompanied the officer.

AMERICAN TOWN
 ON ENGLISH SOIL

London, Feb. -CCorrespondenc of The AssOctated Press. )---On the banks of the Thames, less than 20 miles from London, there Is an Amer !cas town of the mushroom kind such as you might find tn a new California oil field. Its population consists of more than 200 white men and about $50 negroes. It covers 35 acres which nine months ago were fallow grass land. The business of the town is to receive, sort and store war material It is the great American supply depot in England.
 There is a street of wooden h1Its, another of corrugated iron huts, huge iron store sheds a quarter of a mile icnE, office buildings, water supply and electric lights. the whole sur rounded by a hedge, a few armed sen tries and much mud. All day long the khaki-clad negroes push and haul railway trucks full of war material
 Englishmen peer over the hedge and ask satirtcally if the United States doesn't know that the war Is over. If they ask an officer for enlightenment about this strange camp. his explan ation Is something like this:
 4ATnericaL came into the war with both feet, banking on nt least three years of it, which was the safe thing to do. Our government made con- tracts with British manufacturers tc supply our army with tons of war material, from tin tack to a steam roller. The British factories built new plants and took on new hands to meet our needs, and deliveries were going smoothly when the aTnistice VSas signed.
 If we had scraTped our contracts then, some British firms might have been driven into bankruptcy, putting thousands of men out of work and leaving the factories with tons of use- less material on their hands. So the United States government merely cancelled orders for material that had not been actually started on, and told the factories to go ahead with what they had in hand.
 This place is the collecting station for that material We are receiving tractors for guns entrenching tools thousands of yards of camoufa,ge wire netting, stacks of asbestos, roofing for hospitals, timber frames for huts wheebbarrows, shovels. pickaxes. boIts screws and q. lot of other stuff We are going to store it all hero and sell it later on. It will all be useful, and we can wait for the market. The manufactures couldn't have waited
 War material coming back from Russia is being stored at this camp also the fittings of the dismantled hos pitals which the American army es- abolished in England.
