CASE OF sERGT. YORK.

The plight of Sergt. Alvin York who, until General Pershing selected Capt. Samuel Woodfill as the great est individual hero of the war, oc- cupied that enviable position in the minds of the American people, will excite unbounded sympathy and pos sibly measure of resentment.
 According to widely circulated statements sergt. York was "pre- sented' with farm by the Nash vile branch of an organization not ed for it's constructive Americanism. About one-fourth the price of the farm was paid down, but it is charged that because Sergt.

COURT DECIDES BOYS MAY ..
 LOOK THROUGH pEEKHOLE

New York.--In an epocn-making decision, jugt handed down, Judge Hating has upheld the constitu- tional right of every American boy to ''peek" into any show which has a peekhole, whether the same be a tear in the canvas or knothole.
 The question arose in the case of the People versus Albert Daut, 9 professional "bouncer."
 Daut was accused of striking a nino-year-old boy. His defense was that the boy was ''pecking" into a tent where Jack Johnson, former prize fight champion and convict, was exhibiting.
 Tine Judge held that this did not 'constitute sufficient defense and fined Daut $50. Not having the money, Daut was sent to jail for ten days,

 If the charges are true, the fact is a reflection on those who are re- sponsible for the situation. If they are not, grave injustice has been done the organization against which they are made.
 Sergt. York has steadfastly re- fused to exploit his heroism, pre- ferring to remain in honorable pow |erty That the generosity of the American people will nod permit him o suffer should be taken for grant, ed. The only problem appears to be the difficulty of convincing the sergeant that such generosity would not be charity, but the ex- ression of well founded admiration.
