American workers can observe
Labor Day this year Gin the proud
knowledge that in the battle of
production their free labor is tri-

II was their determination to
safeguard liberty and to preserve
their American heritage for COM

said in a statement, "that made
possible the greatest production
achievement in the worlds his
tory. We now have the enemy on
the run. Yet we must face the
prospect that the hardest fighting
and the biggest job Of supply are
still ahead of u.s."

Meanwhile George Meany,

that the continuing flood Of wal
production constitutes proo1
positive that there is no compla-
cency within the ranks of labor
Meany said, however, that labor

IT. COL. SHEPARD
IS AWARDED STAR

Lieut.. Col. F. Carlyle Shepard.
son of the late Alexander H. Shep-
ard and Mrs. Shepard of this city,
has been cited, and awarded a
bronze star for brilliant execution
of artillery fire, which led to the
break-through resulting in the cap
ture of st. Lo in Normandy CAM
paign, it was learned here yester-
day.
The citation reads as follows:
Lieut.. Col. Frederick c. Shep-
ard is awarded the bronze star
for meritorious conduct in action
against the enemy from July 6,
1914 to July 81, 1914, in France.
When infantry units of this division
were given the assignment of cross
ing the Wire river into enemy ter
ritory, Col. Shepard prepared to
the most minute and meticulous
detail plans for giving extensive
artillery fire in support of the mis-
sion. He assisted in preparing a
plan involving the employment of a
number of artillery battalions and
gave support to two successive
crossings, without moving a bat
talon. Later, he prepared artillery
fire that effectively withstood coun-
ter-attacks from the enemy's best
troops. Through his personal initia-
tive and sincere devotion to duty,
Col. Shepard contributed materially
to the success Of the operations. "
1t is understood that the plans
were so effective that complete
set was ordered to be prepared for
presentation to higher authority for
purposes of study.
Col. Shepard has written: 1.-THE
day of the big push Gully .,
was called over by the command
ing general to talk to Russian
general about our methods of en-
ploying our artillery. 1t was rather
a paradox that college professor
from a Quaker college should be
discussing artillery tactics with a
Russian who is suppoed to be the
master artillery man. However, all
of the prisoners we have who have
been on the Russian front, state
that our artillery is superior to
that of the Russians.
The fall of st. Lo, it has been
said, was due primarily to the
drive of the Old Hickory division,
predominantly Southern outfit,
comprised of men originally drawn
from, North and South Carolina,
Georgia, and Tennessee, and IA
nous in the first World War.
Col. Shepard spent his early life
and was educated in Wilmington.
He interrupted his career at the
University of North Carolina to
enter service in 1917, when he
served overseas as a first lieu
tenant in the Balloon Observations
Corps, 317th Field Artillery.
At the close of the war he re-
sumed his studies at the University
where he made an outstanding rec.
ord in scholastics and athletic. He
received his M. A. and Phi. D..
degrees from the University and
was member Of the faculty OF
Guilford College at the time Of
entering service in the present war.
