U. S. TAKES OVER
TWO MORE LINERS


Economic Council in Brussels to deliver
to British ports eight American tank
steamers that had been held in Germany
since the outbreak OF the war. Great
Britain is represented on the Economic
Council and the United States Is not be-
cause OF the failure of Congress to au-
thorize representation.
The tankers in question were operated
by a German company, but It was a
Standard OIL subsidiary and the vessels

Second Defeat for British.
The taking of the blockaded German
ships by the Shipping Board marks the
second time the board has defeated Brit
ish plans for acquisition of desirable
ocean tonnage. The, first was when
Commissioner Robinson for the United
States obtained decision awarding to
this country all of the German ships
informed here Great Britain proposed
that all interned and all seized ships
be pooled and divided according to
losses. This would have given all of
the finer ships to Great Britain.
No official statement can be obtained
as to what the Shipping Board intends

the Pretoria or the other vessels when 1t
formally takes them over. They are
passenger vessels of the finest type and
only fitted for passenger line service. 1t
was indicated that an early decision Of
all of the questions pending might be
obtained and that it would not be neces-
sary to make operating plans or hold up
the vessels.
Technically the liners taken over are
under the orders of j. H. Rosseter, chief
of the division of operations of the Ship
ping Board He has issued no instruc-
lions, it IL learned, for their ALLEGATION
or assignment and has made no recon-
mendatons for their use.
Whether the liners will be released
when the tank steamships are turned
over cannot be definitely stated, but II
is probable that the German vessels
leaving the army transport service will
be held until Instructions for their dis
position come from the Supreme Council
in Paris.

self. Here are some highlights on his
individuality:
He is a Tennessee mountaineer of
unmixed English blood He lives in a
mountain shack, built century ago by
his great-great-great-g
He is blacksmith and farmer, and
supports his widowed mother and his
unmarried brothers and sisters.
When younger he spent some of his
time "a-drinkin' an a-gamblin' an
a-hellin' around" Then he Joined the
Church of Christ and Central Union,
becoming second elder and leading the
singing.
The draft found him conscientious
objector, torn between patriotism and
the belief that to fight and kill was
sin. He compromised by going to
Camp Gordon and frankly stating his
position. Captain Danforth succeeded
in convincing him from the Bible that
blessed is the peacemaker." So York
went to France with clear conscience
to help make peace.
His conscience is still at ease. He
believes he was fighting for a sancti-
fed cause. Also, he is still sure
Blessed is the peacemaker."
He is thirty-two, stands a little over
six feet and weighs 205 pounds. He is
redheaded. He is a dead shot with
both rifle and pistol. He is the rare
fighter who does not "see red" but
gets cooler and more efficient as the
danger grows.
His features are clear cut, not rug
ged. He has gray eyes, f1ecked with
brown. The expression of his face is
one of kindly humor. His voice is
pleasant, and even gentle for so large
man. There is absolute sureness
of self in his steady gaze. But-stir
him to resentment, and his eyes harden
and contract and into his gentle voice
comes trumpet-note of danger.
He is genuinely religious. He prayed
while he fought, and believes that God
watched over him.
In all the honors showered upon him
he has never lost his balance for one
moment He looked everybody in the
eve. smiled his genial smile and kept
his perspective.
He is going back to his mountain
valley at Pail Mall Cross Roads and
take up again the life for which he
judges himself best fitted.

were guarding the prisoners and could
York lay some of the prisoners, so the
machine gunners had to fire little
high. The stream Of bullets cut off the
bushes just above York's head as clean
as would a scythe.
Then York got into action. With II
shots from his rifle he killed 16 Huns,
yelling between shots, Surrender !
Come down" Then a lieutenant and
seven men jumped up and charged him
with bayonets from distance of 20
yards. He killed all eight with his
pistol.
When the Hun lieutenant fell the
machine gunners quit firing; they
couldn't stand Yorks shooting. York
continued to pick off Huns. A major
came to York from the prisoners and
in English he said that he would make
the machine gunners surrender if he
would stop shooting. York agreed and
the gunners abandoned SO machine
guns surrendered and came down.
York and the six privates rounded
up their prisoners, picked up the three
wounded Yanks and started back for
the American lines. York marched the
major in front of him. The YankS ran
into several other machine gun nests
from the rear, but after York had
killed one Hun with his pistol all the
others surrendered at the command OF
the major When York reached the
American lines his prisoners numbered
1872, officers and men.
When York's exploit became known
every detail was verified He was made
a sergeant and was awarded the Dis
tinguished Service Cross and The Con-
gressional Medal Of Honor. When he
arrived in New York recently the city
was his. Since then his fellow citizens
have paid him honor at every oppor-
tunity. In Washington the house OF
representatives rose up and cheered
him. Governor Roberts went up into
the mountains and married him to
Grace Williams, who had been waiting
for him. Fortunes have been offered
him to write for the press and to go
into the motion pictures and on the
stage.
York is generally spoken of as the
greatest hero of the war" That is
nonsense. He is also spoken of as the
"bravest soldier of the war;" That is
nonsense, too.
York's exploit is thrilling. But to
+ho rood American thp most fa cY.ina r
ing thing about it all is the man him

where there is fighting blood. What
he did is briefly and concisely this:
York was one of 16 Americans or
dered to put out of action certain Ger
man machine guns over a ridge. In a
cupljke valley they found 80 Huns,
officers and men, apparently holding a
conference. The Yanks opened fire
and the Huns surrendered. Then
dozens of hidden machine guns on the
farther slope not 80 yards away opened
up. Prisoners and Yanks threw them
selves fiat Six YankS were killed and
three, including the sergeant in COM
mand, were wounded. This left York
and six privates. The six privates

exorbitant prices from the soldiers for
the comforts which the association had

rected that a copy of the order be sent
to every one of the thirty-four men
and six women who went with the d.

WORKER.

Chicago.-Reports Of fraternizing Of
allied and foe troops following the
signing Of the armistice on the western
front are denied in letter from 81. B.
Stecher, Racine, Wis, received at the
offices Of the national war work coun-
Gil. Y. n. G. A., here.
Stecher was Y. M. @. A. worker
attached to the Ninety-flrst division.
BE served for more than six months on
three fighting fronts-at st. Mihiel,
in Flanders and the Argonne. Twice
he was cited for bravery and awarded
the D. 8. G.
Before going to France to serve as
a ~" worker Stecher was associated
with the Hamilton Beach Manufacture
Ing company at Racine. Formerly he
was a member of the California Ma
tional Guard when he was living in
Los Angeles, Cal. His parents, Mr..
and Mrs. NJ. D. Stecher, live in Chi
cago.
Referring to reports Of fraternizing,
OF the troops Stecher says: "Certain-
h1y there was no attempt or desire on
the part of the men of our division to
fraternize with our much-despised op-
ponents, and had there been, the Off
GERS would not have permitted it. AS
matter Of fact the guns were going
right up to the time the armistice went
into effect. You see, our boys have
had a mighty good chance to size up
the caliber of the other side, and had
the Germans shown any indications of
good craftsmanship in the fighting no
doubt we would feel some little re-
spect for them. Having been dough-
boy myself in the past, and now hav-
ing gone through all the fighting with
my division, I believe my viewpoint is
the same as that Of the majority of
our division, and, personally, I have
the utmost contempt for the German
soldier, his methods and his ideals"
