A Denoted Hero
NAM Nnnl- LIZ


The designation of Samuel Wood
fill as the most heroic American in
fantryman of the war brings out
something beyond the remarkable
story of Woodflrs exploit. it reveals
the astonishing stupidity and neglect
of the American Army system. Sys-
tenn, we say, because no particular
official can be blamed for it, 1t is one
of the sins of our old enemy, Red
Tape.
Woodfill was a first lieutenant of
the Sixth Infantry on Oct. -, 1918,
when he went out ahead of his first
line with two privates to take a Ger
man macbinegun nest. Four of the
enemy attacked him and he killed
three at ten yards and finished the
fourth in hand to- hand fight He
rushed a second nest, silenced the
gun, shot several Germans and took
three prisoners. Attacking third
machine gun position, he killed five
men with his rife and failing to fin
ish two resisting gunners with his re-
volvcr, killed them with a pick. Some
adventure,
For his heroism WoodfIl was pro-
NOTED to a captainCy and he received
the Medal of Honor and two French
decorations. But what happened to
Woodfll after the war? Well. like
most men. he went back to his bust
ness. But in his case that business
was being a soldier 1t was being a
regular; for Woodfill had been in the
Army dozen years before the war.
After the armistite Woodfil cen
listed in the army. But the best rank
that the army would give Woodfill,
who had put up the greatest individ-
ual fight that is of American record
in the war and who had won in sue
Cession a lieutenancy and a captain
cy. was that of sergeant.
Samuel Woodfill was good enough
to be a commissioned officer in the
war. He was great enough in the
war to inspire every soldier who
heard of the exploit which made
Occur de Lion look like a mollycod-
die. But after the war he was not
good enough fors a commission.
Woodfill could kill nineteen Germans
in half an hour. but he couldn't kill
Red Tape, the invulnerable old par
alyzer of the Wnr Department.
Woodfill is not to go without honor,
for it is a fine distinction to repre-
sent the infantry at the Unknown
Soldier ceremonies. But as he stands
there-unless somebody does some
thing i'll the meantime--as a sergeant
who was once a captain, what will
cur guests from Europe think of
nation which denotes its heroic liv-
ing.

ALLIANCE THROUGH FAIR
DEALINGS

Creating and magnifying national
prejudices and difficulties for the
purpose Of securing to sensational
publications a better market Tor their
wares is contemptible business at
any time, especially now when rep
resentatives of those peoples are our
guests at a conference to discuss in
a neighborly fashion the ways In
which we may be mutually helpful
and keep the peace.
For many years now 1t has been
deemed safe to vilify England for
political effect. Most of those who
indulge in this vicious practise. were
war really to come, would be found
skulking in the rear. They would do
no fighting; their sole ambition
would be to make money out Of 1t all
They should be sat upon good and
hard. President Harding was doing
that when at Yorktown, where Corn
wallis surrendered, he took occasion
the other day, to say that war with
England Is unthinkable." Unfortu-
nately that position is lacking in GER
tainty, but II right spirit may be
cultivated it will help to make it
more secure.
Cultivating the right spirit vas
what Arthur Balfour did q quarter
century ago when President Cleve-
land peremptorily called a halt to
British land ambitions in Venezuela,
Balfour's words being: 1.-The time will
come, the time must come, when
someone, some statesman" will
lay down the doctrine that between
English speaking peoples war is i'm
possible"
Fair criticism is no violation of this
spirit and better understanding is an
essential. Ambassador Harvey's
speech at Liverpool contributed to
the latter. 1t implies no disregard for
Great Britain's cooperation, no lack
in appreciation Of the value of her
friendship, to tell her that a formal
alliance with any foreign country is
distasteful to the American people,
contrary to centurys teachings and
traditions.
But that which arouses in the
breast of our neighbor sense of in
justice, as some Of our aspersions
must have done, should not be toll
Grated. So long as there may exist in
the hearts Of Englshmen and Amer
leans the sentiment which prompted
the British admiral to lay his ships
alongside Deweys in Manila Bay
when the German admiral assumed a
hostile attitude, SO long there will be
a stronger alliance between these
peoples than international laws may
prescribe. Sentiment like that will
thrive under frank, and fair treat
ment but not under Injustice.

Those ewho don't wish to deliver
milk at the wage they are receiving
are within their legal rights If they
quit work, even though hardship, and
even death results, but they are not
within their rights when they inter-
fere with those who have taken their
places. No more mercy should be
shown those who interfere than the
latter are showing to the public.
And when this matter is ironed out 1t
may be found feasible to enact regu-
lations such that those who supply
the absolute necessities of life shall
know when they enter on that kind of
employment that they are expected
to stay on the job until relieved, and
will be punished il they strike. And
there is no occasion for sur
prise that the employers refuse to
Weld anything to the strikers, insist
ing on an open shop. neither need
there he surprise if the public rises
up and supplies itself, if that be
found to be possible.

THE DAISY
en- Chaucer wrote:

When Chaucer wrote:
cot all the floures in the mede
"Than love 1 most these foures
white and rede,
our toun,"
that species OF flower is supposed to
have been unknown in America;
nevertheless the American Legion
tacitly endorses Chaucer's opinion of
the lowly daisy, which he calls the
"eye of the day." with selection as
official flower. in preference to the
poppy, and all the long list Of more
pretentious Towering plants indi-
genous to American soil.
One might attach varied signifi-
canoe to the choice and dwell long in
imaginings. Enough, perhaps, is to
consider the fact, the selection Of an
unassuming, pleasant-faced flower
that grows throughout America and
Europe in varied forms and which has
lent its name to other species such
as the "black-eyed Susan" of the
chrysanthemum origin. one that
brightens the everyday world and not
infrequently to the farmers disgust
sprinkles his fields with suggestions
that they may not wholly be devoted
to utility without protest from ma
ture.
Eye of the day which the Ameri-
can Legion helped to make possible,
a day of better understanding
throughout the world, of clearer COM
prehension of the noble impulse and
kindly thought which are to be found
wherever man meets man in the
right spirit, the daisy, official flower
OF the great American Legion, no
longer the humblest dweller in the
meadow.

An Important Decision

The operators Of non union mines
in West Virginia claim that they
have a constitutional right to operate
their mines under individual con-
tracts made with their operatives
The leaders of the - United Mine
Workers claim they have a right to
organize all the mines and make

Clayton act does not exempt labor
unions from the antitrust laws, and
that the act of labor union in caus-

the theme of his message "As a man

emphasized the necessity Of clear,
