Lermond will run in Stockholm,

 pattullo claimed that he had talk ed with all members of the unit at the time of the capture.
 T never heard of Pattullo," Mer- ritheW said. He never spoke 10 me. Buxton should know that York didn't capture the German single handed. There were others besides York"
 Mcrrithew explained his claim by stating that the German major in charge of the outfit surrendered his pistol to him, an act, he said which showed that he and not York was in command. At the American lines, he said, it was discovered that he was wounded and while he was being given first aid, York assume charge of the prisoners.

It is the opinion of Principal Louis r, Slade that the difficulty which the Senior High school Coach George NJ.
