Nice they were, but the kids could
not eat them. Willie's corn crops had
suffered while he was away at the
wars. And he hasn't had very good
luck with crops since. He doesn't
even own his modest cabin on He'll
fur Sartin Greek. He might have
owned it, if he had agreed to reenact
nis war experience for a movie con-
Germ for $500 a week But he refused
to capitalize his war exploits. He
might even have pawned the kids
pretty trinkets but they don't bring
much in peace time.
Still the children must eat. So a
great humorist by the name of Irwin
S. Cobb, who once disported around
the Kentucky hills, saw the humor in
Willie's situation and with the CO.
operation of the American Legion of
Kentucky launched campaign to
raise $4,000 to buy Willie the farm
where his cabin stands.
The farm and home will be decided
to Sandlin for his lifetime and at his
death, will go to his children and their
children as memorial to the name of
Willie Sandlin.

Hell fur Sartin" Sandlin, Fightin'
Damn Fool, Now Owns Home

Shoals, Ky-When Willie Sandlin,
of Devils Jump Branch of He'll fur
Sartin Creek, KY, went off to the
wars in 1917 he did the old creek
proud. Sundry and various soldiery
of the late German army-had they
survived-could vouch for it.
Arrived at the front, Private Sand
lin displayed gratifying aptitude in
the handling of such toys as hand
grenades, rifles and bayonets. The
commander of Company A, 132nd in
fantry, rewarded such artistry by
hanging three stripes on Willie's big,
strong arm.
On the morning of September 26,
1918, when the great battle of the
Argonne was launched, Sergeant Will
lie Sandlin's platoon was held up by
a murderous stream of lead from a
German machine gun nest.
"Halt men, and lie down." ordered
the little second lieutenant, who had
already executed the movement for
the edification of his charges. The
order seemed reasonable enough; the
men did lie down with alacrity-ali
but one-Willie.
Now Willie's He'll fur Sartin Creek
raising didn't prescribe "floppln'
down when one man was shootin' in
your direction, let alone lying down
when hull dern German army was
a pluggin' away at yer carcuss.'
Willie stuffed his pockets full of
grenades, grabbed a rifle and bayo-
net from a prone comrade and started
forth to win the battle of the Argon-
ne by himself.
At forty yards in advance of the
annoying machine-gun nest Willie
wrapped long, lean fingers around
one of those high-powered lemons,
unwound his longer and leaner arm
and let the grenade fly. Three other
INT lemons followed the first. Then
Sergeant Willie rushed to the ma
chine-gun nest and jumped in.
Imagine his disgust when he
found that his lemons hadn't done
all that was claimed for them. There
were still three of the German crew
of eight in fighting mood. Willie did
some fancy and fast bayonet practice
for few seconds and then stuck his
head out of the pit and hollered:
"You fellers kin come on now they
amt goin' ter be no more Shootln'."
The platoon pushed on.
Then Sergeant Willie did some more
in his personal war with Germany. A
second machine gun was "a pesterln'
his outfit" Willie employed the
same tactics with nest number two as
with number ore, with the exception
that four Germans survived the high
powered lemons and had to be dis
patched with Willie's educated ba-
yonet.
Then Willie got really aggravated
when towards the end of the day a
German battalion headquarters got in
his way. He got so mad he took the
German commanders gun away from
him and just to see if it worked tried
it out on the major. 1t worked.
The war over, Sergeant William
Sandlin came back to his little two
room shack on DEVILS Jump Branch of
He'll fur Sartin Creek carrying some
mighty purity trinkets for the kids
to play with" The trinkets Willie's
two babies gurgled over were con-

est medal awarded by the United
States for military valor; the me-

BY ANNA LOUISE STRONG.
Special CORRESPONDENT of fne Star and North

Special Correspondent of fne Star and North

MOSCOW, June 3.-Tomorrow morn
ing John Goldstrom, correspondent of
The Star and the North American
Newspaper Alliance, will know almost
certainly whether his attempt to
travel around the world in record time
10 to succeed or fail He will reach
Chita at an early hour and his sue
cess in making a connection for Har-
bin is the point upon which the whole
trip depends. The transsiberian train
upon which he Is now travelling turns
north al Chita. travels along the bor-
der of Manchuria and reaches Vladi-
vostock much too late for Goldstrom' s
purposes.
The transsiberian train which goes
TO Harbin will not reach Chita for two
days yet. which would make Gold
strom's margin at Yokohama one OF
minutes rather than days. He may
be able to catch freight. however, or
to hire a locomotive for the 20-hour
journey. At Harbin Japa nese planes
will pick him up for the ! l.l00-mile
flight to Yokohama.
At dawn today Goldstrom arrived at

court machinery in this case also. Mr.
Fenning testified that he received
check Of $3.50 from Miss Cunningham
and it was divided equally between
himself and Mr.. Rogers.
Charge No. 2, referring to violation
OF the World War veterans act in
that Mr. Fenning charged a fee in
excess Of $40 for prosecuting a. vet
Grams claim, was answered by the
witness with the statement that he
never received any fee for services be-
fore the Veterans Bureau or for prep
aration Of any papers for any claims
there.
The third charge, specifying that
Mr. Fenning in accepting more than
10 per cent as committee violated the
law, was denied emphatically by the
witness, who reiterated his previous
declarations that there is no law or
rule of court limiting the amount Of
commissions in lunacy cases. In con.
nection with this charge Mr.. Hogan
turned to the eleventh specification,
which pointed out that Mr.. Fenning
received commissions as high as "a
per cent.
Mr.. Hogan took up all the specific
instances mentioned in the eleventh
charge and read to the committee
from the court documents the fact
that the fees did not exceed So each
for services rendered throughout the
year. The income of these various
estates did not exceed $26 per annum.
He pointed out that, viewed from the
standpoint of percentage, the com.
mission was considerably higher than
10 per- cent. However, he emphasized
the small amount Of compensa ton re-
for h0
tates.
When the hour for recess arrived
Mr.. Hogan still was reading these
figures.
Mr.. Blanton stated yesterday that
he could not give any more time to
the case after today and gave no in.
timation as to who would succeed him
to cross-examine Mr.. Hogans wit.
nesses. He announced today. how.
ever, that he would remain with the
committee until noon tomorrow.
Miss Schoenfeld Testifles.
A number Of witnesses were called
by Mr.. Blanton yesterday afternoon.
Miss Margaret H. Schoenfeld told
OF an attempt to get possession of her
property at 344S Thirty.fourth place
during the war, after the OCCUPANTS
lease had expired. She called at the
mousse apo SalQ the tenant summoned
Mr. Fenning, who threatened to get
a warrant for her arrest If she did
not leave in 10 minutes. Mr.. Hogan
developed from the witness that in
addition to Mr.. Fenning several
neighbors came in, and all advised
her and her mother, whom she re.
called accompanied her, that posses.
sion could not be obtained without a
court order. No denial of the threat
by Mr.. Fenning was sought by Mr.
Hogan In the cross-examination, but
the witness said that Mr. Fenning
and the others left the house before
she did. Subsequently, possession of
the property was obtained through
court proceedings.
Over the objections Of Mr.. Hogan
and Representative Hersey, Repub-
iican. of Maine, Mr.. Blanton was able
to have William r. Browning testify
that three years ago the National
Savings and Trust Co. charged him
onehalf of per cent in addition to
6 per cent interest for a $12. 500 ldan.
