was awarded the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross. While leading his platoon

his platoon, until ordered to the dress
ing station by his commanding OIL
GER Returning within forty-five min
utes, he remained on duty throughout
the entire night, inspecting his lines
and establishing outposts. Early the
next morning he was again wounded,
once again displaying remarkable de-
votion to duty by remaining in COM
mand of his platoon. Later the same
day a bursting shell added two more
wounds, the same shell killing his
commanding officer and two officers
of his company. He then assumed
command of his company, and organ
lied it's position in the trenches. Dis
playing wonderful courage and te-
nacity at the critical times, he was
the only officer of his battalion who
advanced beyond the town and by
clearing machine gun and sniping
posts, contributed largely to the aid
of his battalion in holding their OBJ
jective. His example of bravery and
fortitude and his eagerness to con-
tinue with his mission despite severe
wounds, set before the enlisted men
oe his command most wonderful
standard of morale and self-sacrifice.
Lieut.. Robb's home address is 30S
South Twelfth street, Salina, KAN,
where his mother lives.

the minimum salaries of teachers, as
provided by the new school code, is
expected to bring number of new and
old teachers into the profession, there
is another reason, in the opinion of
members of the state department of
schools, which will be responsible for
bringing in many more. That reason
is the closing down of opportunities
for teachers to make big wages in gov
eminent and other employment incl
dent to the war. 1t is estimated that
the two conditions combined will be
responsible for an abundance of teach
ers in the state at the beginning of the
