SAMUEL WOoDFILL,
First Lieutenant, Company M, Goth
Infantry.

lii GILL j.
Three acts of conspicuous daring in
one day near Cunel, France, October
II, 1918, won the Distinguished Serv-
Ice Cross for Lieut.. Woodfill. While
he was leading his company against
the enemy his line came under heavy
machine gun fire, which threatened to
hold up the advance. Followed by
two soldiers at twenty-five yards, this
officer went out ahead of his first line
toward q machine gun nest and
worked his way around its flank, leav-
ing the two soldiers in front. When
he got within ten yards of the gun
it ceased firing and four of the enemy
appeared, three of whom were shot
by Lieut.. Woodfill The fourth, an
officer, rushed at Lieut.. WOodfill, who
attempted to club the officer with his
rifle. After a hand-tO-hand struggle,
Lieut. WoOdf1ll killed the officer with
his pistol. His company thereupon
continued to advance until shortly
afterward another machine gun nest
was encountered. Calling his men to
follow. Lieut.. Woodfill rushed ahead
Of his line in the face of heavy fire
from the nest, and when several of
the enemy appeared above the nest
be shot them, capturing three other
members of.the crew and sileneing the
gun. A few minutes later this officer,
for the third time, demonstrated con-
spicuOus daring by charging another
machine gun position, killing five men
in one machine gun pit with his rifle.
He then drew his revolver and started
to jump into the pit when two other
gunners only few yards away turned
their gun on him. Failing to kill them
with his revolver, he grabbed a pick
lying near by and killed both Of them.
inspired by the exceptional courage
displayed by this officer, his men
pressed on to their objective under
severe shell and machine gun fire.
Lieut.. Woodfill is married and lives
at 1877 Alexandria Pike, Fort Thomas,
Ky.

sons. The Peakes were residents OF
this community for two or three
years. leaving about two years ago.

DR.. Wolff, Health Officer, states
that there have been is new cases OF

there were II new cases reported

noon, making total of 80 new cases
reported since Friday. Inasmuch as
these do not represent nearly all Of
the new cases that have developed,
in fact, it is probable that none OF
the new cases of today are included,
the absolute necessity of the public
, exercising every possible care be-
comes readily apparent.

REV. MR.. SKINNER
ADDRESSES THE .ELKS
Miss Dr1silla Phillips Delights Au-
dience With SolOs-Largest Atten-
dance of Any Meeting Yet.

The Rev. B. F. Skinner, pastor of
the Baptist Church, was the speaker
at the exercises at the Elks Home
yesterday afternoon, and greatly
pleased the large audience with his
address. The keynote of the address
was plea for the help of the menu
bers in making the present peace one
of worldwide justice. The speaker
stated that there had been three eras
in the history of this country, the
first being the Provincial, when the
citizens of the country looked upon
it's government as being local; that
is, the people of the South recog-
nized the needs only of that portion
south of Mason and Dixon's line,
while those of the north were con-
cerned only with those interests
north of that line. Then followed
the National period, when the citi-
zens Of all sections came to realize
that sectional feeling and sectional
legislation could no longer exist, but
that the common welfare of the
whole country must be the supreme
thought and object of all government
tai endeavors. And at present an
other stage has been reached. that
of the International, when the people
of all countries must recognize that
no country can exist for itself alone,
but that all must work along the
lines of the highest development,
when peace founded upon justice
must stand for the upbuilding and
development of all that is good and
for the destruction of that which is
wrong. The address made a deep
impression upon those who heard it,
and from the beginning to the end,
the speaker held the rapt attention
of all of thos epresent.
Misses Drusilla Phillips and Mar
garet Matthews delighted their hear
ers with two musical selections, Miss
Phillips being the soloist. The pres
ence of several men in the service
was a matter of pleasure to the men,
| bers, and it is hoped that next Sun
day it may be possible OF get every
man in Cambridge and the county, in
| the service, present. The speaker
next Sunday will be the Rev. John
| M. Walsh, pastor of st. MaTy's Cath
Ollie Church.
