Charles H. Muir, who commanded the
Twenty-eighth division, In which Col
onel Thompson commanded a bat
TALON, decorated the Pennsylvania Le-
gion leader at Washington. Previous
to the ceremony Colonel Thompson
was entertained at luncheon by the
Pennsylvania delegation in congress.
The citation for the Congressional
medal came to Colonel Thompson as
result of an act Of valor In action near
Apremont. France, October l, 1918.
Counterattacked by two regiments
Of Germans, Colonel Thompson, then
major Of the One Hundred and
Tenth infantry, encouraged his bat
talon in the front line by constantly
braving the hazardous fire of machine
guns and artillery. His courage was
mainly responsible for the heavy re.
pulse Of the enemy.
Later in action, when the advance
OF his assaulting companies was held
up by fire from hostile machine-gun
nest and all but one Of the assaulting
tanks were disabled, Colonel Thomp-
son, rushed forward on foot three sep
arate times in advance Of his line, un-
der heavy machine gun and antl-tank
gun fire, and led the one remaining
tank to within few yards Of the
enemy machine-gun nest. The tank
succeeded In reducing the nest, there
by making 1t possible for the infantry
to advance.

WARNING TO EX-SERVICE MEN
Soldiers Having Business With Vet

District Officers.

Ey.servce men who have business
With the United States Veterans bu-
reau have been advised 10 transact
their affairs with the district officers.
Recently former service men have
been going to Washington at the rate
of 100 week with the expectation
that they could accomplish more there
than they could accomplish through
divisional headquarters.
have walked long distances in order
TO get to Washington. Recently one
nan made the trip from Baltimore to
Washington on crutches.
Washington posts Of the American
Legion Look out for the veterans who
come with small means, or no means
at all, but these posts are now find
Ing their resources insufficient to take
care of all the demands made on
them.
A pathetic feature OF the situation
IL that the former soldiers from out.
side the Washington district learn that
they will have to transact their bust
ness In the district In which they live.
The American Legion. the Ameri-
eau Red Cross and various other or.
ganizations nave been trying to I'm
press on the men who have business
with the bureau that they must deal
with divisional headquarters, but 1t
seems that thousands OK veterans do
not understand the situation. The
bureau has asked the Legion once
more to take up the subject.

Prince Caetani Is No Stranger Here
Prince Celasio Caetanl, the new

Prince CelasiO Caetanl, the new
Italian ambassador at Washington, is
no stranger In the United States. More
over, his mother, the dowager duchess
Of Sermoneta, Is an English woman.
Soon after obtaining the degree Of
civil engineer In Rome at the age Of
twenty-four he turned toward Amer
ica. He entered the mining school Of
Columbia university, enrolling himself
as Mr.. Celasio Caetanl. After COM
pleting his course he went West to
the mining country.
The prince then spent some time
In mining districts betw zen Alaska
and Mexico, alternating manual work
with designing and agriculture. In
Alaska he held Job as constructor
and engineer. He spent one Arctic
winter In hut on the Gulf Of Taku.
After years of experience In prac-

he certainly started something the

Of the senate as In the cloak rooms
BY saying In debate:

Is Christianity which proceeds from

A coMMENDABLE ENTERPRISE

Residents of Seward will meet to- morrow at the Bank of Seward corner and go in a body to the cemetery for the purpose of clearing up the ceme- tery of old grass and debris. While the Sabbath Day should be more fit tingly kept, it is a worthy deed, and one that can hardly be done any oth- CT day in the week, owing to the lack of opportunity by merchants and bus mess men to get away from their work. The Silent City should be kept clean and net, and it is up to the com- munity to see that it is done.
 The women of the Legion auxiliary will furnish coffee and light lunch for the workers, and will be on hand to see that they work. No drones will be allowed. Therefore put on your old clothes and bring rake and hoe and repair to the cemetery You will feel more like attending the Un- ion Memorial service in the evening.

STANDARD OIL COMING.

After practically two years of un- swerving effort, the local Chamber of Commerce, in cooperation with Dele gate Sutherland, has prevailed upon the Standard Oil company to build tanks at Seward. Word was received here yesterday that the construction steamer, now at Sitka, would be in Seward by the first week in June, and there is no longer any doubt that this company has decided upon erecting tanks here. Lumber and supplies have been ordered, and the Resurrec- tion Bay Lumber Company has been requested to give the company infor- nation as to what lumber can be se- cured here.
 The entrance Of the Standard Oil Company to Seward means more tC the town and surrounding country than is conceived at first thought. Ii

means that the bay will be haven for government vessels, which will call in here for oil Fishing boats and other craft will purchase their sup plies here while replenishing their oil supply. Tank cars and railway spurs will be needed to convey oil to the Tanana and Yukon river fleet. The price of fuel oil and gasoline will be cheapened nearly one-half, allowing more boats to be operated at a cheap CT cost. And last, but not least, the Standard Oil company never locates in a town whose future is uncertain. The compliment paid is an index ot their faith in Seward.
