Attractive Movie Offers-Ais
Feat In Aroonne.

Pail Mall, Tenn.-If YOU were liv-
ing on one Of the lnest farms In Ten
nessee-
II you had wife and three-months-
old baby dependent upon YOU
II you faced losing your farm
through foreclosure Of $12,5OO mort
;age-
And
You could make possibly enough to
pay of the mortgage merely BY show
ing yourself In public
Would you?
That is the question that Sergeant
Alvin c. York has to face. His answer
Ia "No." He will not commerclallze
his patriotism. His sense Of obligation
to his country and his religious scru-
pies prevent.
II would far rather lose my fnrn'
and go back to work upon 1t as day
labOrer than to cOmmercialize the
fame which was only incidental to an
act of Providence" he says.
Tint "act Of Providence" made the
red-headed sergeant famous as the
wars greatest hero, not only through.
out America but In every allied coun-
try.
On Oct. 1s. 1918. In the Argonne
forest. York single-handed killed 25
Germans, put out Of commission IS
machine guns and marched into camp
1872 German captives, including a ma
jor and three lieutenants. For his
feat he won the Congressional Medal
Of Honor and the Croix de Guerre,
pinned on by Marshal FOch.

'PELLET|ER WINS
 FIRST SkIRMISH
 IN LEGAL BATTLE

Boston, Mass, Dec. 28-Counsel for District Attorney Joseph c. Pelletier won a brief skirmish which marked the opening today of the second day of the hearing before the Supreme court of some sixty charges of mis- conduct on which a request for his re- moval has been made by Attorney General J. Weston Allen.
 The court sustained a demand by Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri, senior counsel for Pelletier, that Louis Epple, secretary of the Boston Licensing Board, produce private rec ords of the board showing a division of ownership in the Higgins Hotel Meyer BerH1an, a part owner in the hotel, testified yesterday that he paid $50,0O0 in the fall of 1916 and the following spring to Daniel H. Coak1ey, a local attorney, to settle complaints made against the hotel. After Coak- ley had advised him the payment would prevent indictments being re- turned against him, his two sons, and his partner, Isaac Gordon. In the German case, Attorney General Allen charges that Pelletier aided in the ex- tortion of money under threats of prosecution.
 At the request of Senator Reed, Samuel B. German, one of the sons, was recalled to the stand after Epple was excused temporarily to obtain the records which the defense demanded.
