as civilian aide to the secretary of
war for the state of Georgia and was
for time United States commissioner
for the northern district of Georgia.
On May II, 1917, little more than
Il month after the United States de-
clared war on Germany, he entered

DR.. ORLANDO PETTY
CITED FOR BRAVERY

Unusual heroism by a Philadelphia
physician who remained for hours un-
der fire in his dressing station during
the battle Of Belleau Wood and then
carried wounded officer on whom he
had been operating to safety when the
station was destroyed, has been recog-
nfzed with an award Of the Congress
sional Medal Of Honor by the govern
ment.
The man who is thus signally hon.
ored, says the Philadelphia Ledger, il
Capt. Orlando H. Petty, attached dur
ing the war to the Naval Medical
corps.
Doctor Petty enlisted in the naval re-
serves, four days before the United
the Fifth regiment marines. With
the Devil Dogs" he saw fierce fight
ing from June, 1918, until late in the
summer. On June IL he performed
the deed which won for him the medal.
Under heavy shell fire, he worked
in his dressing station until it literally
fell in flames over his head, when he
escaped to a place of safety with the
wounded officer on his back.
He was severely gassed, and was in
the hospital many days, but he insist
ed, long before having entirely recov-
cred, upon returning to duty. He was
cited for bravery because of the action.
Doctor Petty was the only member Of
the Medical Reserve corps during the
war to receive a Congressional Medal
of Honor. He also was awarded the
Distinguished Service Cross Of the
United States and the Croix de Guerre
with palm, of France.
Recently he was appointed physician
In charge Of the department Of metab-
olism of the Philadelphia General hos
pital and elected to the professorship
of diseases Of metabolism in the grad
uate school os medicine OF the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania.
Doctor Petty is graduate Of Franklin
college and the Jefferson Medical col
lege For several years he was pa
biologist and director Of laboratories at
the Germantown hospital. He Is q
member of the Pennsylvania society,
Sons Of the Revolution, of the Aescu-
lapian and Manufacturers clubs, and
is a fellow of the College of Ply
sicians of Philadelphia, and of the

GEORGIA PROUD OF
COMMANDER DUNLAP

In Gainesville, Ca, they have a
lawyer named Edgar B. Dunlap. The
folks there think a lot of Ed and may
be that was why the American Legion,
Department of Georgia, elected him
state commander.
Not long ago Ed was seen squeezing
the MacNider trophy awarded annual
ly to the department making the best
membership showing. Georgia had
won the cup for a steady, persistent
Increase in members.
Commander Dunlap was born in
Gainesville, April 10, 1892. He grew
up into six-foot sturdy man who at
college could oqtwalk most men of
his age. He tells stories sometimes Of
his many hikes. Once he walked IA
miles at night and appeared in Atlanta
for the football game between the Uni
versity of Georgia eleven and visit.
Ing college team.
After taking his degree in 1913 Ed
decided he wanted to be a lawyer. So
be continued his studies and was adj
mitted to the bar in 1915. During the
two years he was studying torts and
evidence he was professor of Latin
in the Gainesville high school and tutor
In public speaking at the University
Of Georgia.
Then he went back to Gainesville
to practice law. This he continued en-

temple court his playground rather
than the Enclosed family garden. This
was natural. The garden had been
uprooted of its single wild-peach tree,
whose blossoms, in the early spring,
gave off an odor thin as that which
clings to the silk of forgotten robe; ;
Doctor Wells mind was firmly set
upon space to remind him of the
austere and godly home which he had
left behind" and the peach tree was
ultra Oriental. Thus, in season, snap
dragon and canterbury bell would
burst from the rain-soft ground in all
promise of erect stern splendor in the
summer solstice: promise never full
filed, for the long spikes gave birth to
nothing save a trickle of pury flower
and early found disgrace upon the
baked ground.
Small wonder that the child played
between the long walled courtyard OF
the Shinto temple where the grass was
tall; where trees on either side inter
locked their moss-grown arms above
him; beshadowing the way; where the
birds sang and butterflies sought out
the dancing, slanting sunlight.
Misako had more than love for the
boy: added to the strong affection was
an imperious sense Of the Importance
of Bobbie-San's missionary father.
Was he not an honored servant of
oves-little-children, for love
of whom Misako had fed her position
In the household of the Lord of the
Thunder Gate, her people and town
and province? True, Misako did not
understand many things about Him:
it was said (and Doctor Wells did not
deny) that He was the son of car
penter. How, then, could god :.
but Misako, simple in faith, believed
because she believed. If 1t were wrong
to bow before the Towering peach in
the garden (before an ak found the
trunk when every one knows that
the blossoms are the visible sign sent
by the Six Goddesses to tell that they
assure good luck for the coming year,
why did Doctor Wells worship the
pine tree (acking fir or spruce) which
each winter season he set In the main
room and adorned with ornaments
which must, Misako figured, be pray
ers offered the Carpenters Son? She
did not understand. It was all very
strange.
