TWO MEN,
AFTER FOUR YEARS,

Four years ago two young male
American took different views of
their duty toward their county. One
of them marched away from New
York with the 308th infantry and in
the Argonne Forest, after his arm was
broken and his pistol empty, captured
a German machine gun and its crew
of eight men. The other young man
fought the draft law and by wiggling
escaped service.
That was four years ago. Yester-
day the man who won the medal of
honor In the Argonne and who Is now
making a living as a salesman was
explaining that the United States
government, which has just issued
his name on the list OF slackers, was
mistaken about him. Colncidently the
other young mantle one who escaped
the draft-was the hero of two lunch
cons and three dinners at Atlantic
City, where the mayor officially re-
ceiyed him and presented the freedom
of the cheering city to him.
Ye who are students OF mockeries
need not rark back TO DR.. Johnson's

consider the cases of Benjamin Kauf-
man, ex-sergeant. company X, 308th
infantry, and Jack Dempsey. New

But they couldn't. They weren't or

every time they publish. Many are
there indeed that keep the nation from
going to the dogs. Thousands of them
keep the ship of state off the shoals OF

that can prosper and protect their W
little community.
The Press has a very narrow editor

MOTHER LOVE HER0ISM
ISN'T HER0ISMt

This Ia the story OF n mother who
has been refused the hero prize by the
Carnegie Hero commission.
Mrs. Norman Girling, of White
Plains, N. Y, arose one morning with
the expectancy OF becoming mother of
a fifth child by night. During the
morning her youngest, lad OF two and
n half, was playing In the back yard.
There was a sudden cry and all was
still, but that the mother heard the
cry. She rushed out TO an open well
and 10 feet below could see her tiny
boy splaahing about In the water
which she knew wa6 several feet deep
Mrs. Girling did not hesitate, She
climbed down into that well, gr1ppipf
the slippery stone sides with feet and
hands and then she climbed out by
the same wet, dangerous path, but
somehow with her baby boy In her
arms. Hurrahl
That night the other baby was born
Enthusiastic people In all parts OF
the country wrote her letters and sem
her kilograms and flowers and other
gifts. Somebody calls the attention o.
the Carnegie Hero commission to tn,
case, but that body has calmly ukaseC
that she is not entitled to the medal o
heroism.
All right. And all we have to say Il
that Mrs. Girling has better than tn,
Carnegie commission can posslbl,
award-she has her two babies.
And anyway. II all the hero mothers
in this country were given medals, tn,
Carnegie fellows could never keep up
There would be millions every yea
and the commission would SOC q
