Americans Win Medals for
Bravery on
By V. A. McKeiule,
(United PruM Suit Corrwiionilont)
WITH TUB BRITISH ARMIES
1' TUB FIELH, May 1. Tho Battle
t the Somme brought several Amer
icans to th8 fore. A lad from Den
"nysvflle, Maine, Corporal W. H. Met
ralf, who. had beeu through much
fighting and was several times rec
ommended for gallantry, won his
Military Medal tor a deed of Quiet
Courage.
Metcalt'a colonel told me the story.
One afternoon during the heaviest
lighting on the Somme, the Germans
were making a barrage on our front.
A man hurried into the battalion
riug-out to s'rty"ithat one of the bat
talion was lying outside the trench
es in a very exposed position, with
his leg shattered. He was bleeding
heavily, and it anything was to be
done, it must be done quickly.
"Can aynone put on a bandage?"
the colonel demanded.
"1 can. In a way, sir," Metcalf re
"plied. and, grabbing tine roll, he
rushed out.
The whole place was humming and
roaring with the noise of shells. The
machine guns were beating their
'devil's tatoo. The colonel showed
"him the way through. "Go and do
your best." Metcalf found his man,
tiound up his wounds, and, since it
was Imnossllilo to move him, sat by
"him till he died.
A young telephonist, D. A. Keeble,
from North Dakota, attached to a
section of the Canadian Field Artil
lery. has done . some very gallant
"work. At -'Courcelette, one of our
planes was shot, down a little way
from him. Now, as a rule, immed
iately a plane falls, the enemy artil
lery concentrates on that point, and
prudent men stay away. Keeble ran
tip to It. cut away the fusidale to
enable the airman to escape, and
then calmly took out the two wicker
seats and carried them off as troph
ies; . He had barely got off before
enemy shells rained down all around
the plane.
Major John Lewis, editor of the
Montreal Star, was an American who
became a British subject before the
war. Professional soldiers, who take
mere deeds of courage for granted,
-are loud in praise of bis conduct in
the attack on Regina Trench, on Oc
tober 21, 1916. His party of three
officers and 26 men over-ran Desire
Trench and., bad reached Grandcourt
Trench. Here they maintained them
selves all day, against . attack after
attack by strong bombing parties.
Major Lewis sent back telling his
exact position, and saying they conld
Stay there. A box barrage was put
around them, and while defending
themselves, against companies of the
Vienna ns I .leant, they passed back
"200 German prisoners they had cap
tured. Unfortunately, Lewis himself
"was killed. Just as he started to come
tack. But be bad earned a perma
nent place, among Canada's heroes.
In the costly Tight of May 8, 1915,
regiment which has from the first
"had a number of Americans In Its
ranks, occupied a long line of shal
low trenches, -was exposed to hours'
ot merciless tire, and was repeatedly
charged by the finest troops of the
Germany army. Sergeant . Pember
ton, of Philadelphia, did well. The
battalion was losing heavily. Every
officer save two" pr three was killed
or wounded. Supplies of ammuni
tion were almost exhausted; there
was no artillery behind and reserves
ihad not yet arrived. Pemberton
.helped several wounded officers out
of the firing line including the
founder of the corps. Then be took
command of bis own section in the
trench, and in the hours when heroes
might have faltered, stood fast until
the German fury of attack had ex
hausted itself and the baffled enemy
retired. J. C. 4chardson, of Des
Jttolnes, was wounded in the same
attack. When be recovered, he was
given a commifisipn, and afterwards
transferred .to the Flying Corps.
Lieutenant Birseye, of Orange, N. J.,
an American college boy who quit
ted classes for soldiering when the
"war broke out, early earned the cov
eted Distinguished Conduct Medal.
He 'entered, the., army ias a private,
'but won his decoration and officer
ship by going over the parapet dur

Western Front
ing very heavy fighting and bringing
in wounded men.
Tho big raid of December 8, also
brought tho Military Cross to a Port
Huron, Michigan, hoy. Lieutenant
A. B. McCormlck. Many attempts
had been made to raid one part of
the German Hhes, and had failed.
Then a battalion, to which McCor
mlck was attached, volunteered to
make another attempt. McCormlck
was iteconnolterinc officer. His
business was to Investigate No Man's
Land, to find a way In and to work
the lines tor the others. The raiders
were In three parties. Those to the
right and to the left reached the Gor
man trenches, after heavy fighting.
They rushed and captured a machine
gun just as it was about to opon
tire on them. They hold either end
of a considerable stretch of trench,
and a party of Germans in tt could
neither advance nor retire. '
Meanwhile the center party was
held up by very strong wire entangle
ments which could not be broken
through. The officer gave the word,
and his men stretching out in front
of the wire, threw their bombs right
along the line of cooped-up Germans.
Then the side parties rushed up.
The trench was heaped with dead
men. A hundred Germans had been
blown to pieces. McCormick's work
that night won him the Military
Cross.
Lance "Corporal F. F. Worthlng
ton. of Cooperstown, N. Y., was a
civil engineer. He came from Vera
Crux to join the Canadians. On
January 6, the Germans tried to raid
one of our advanced posts. There
was very heavy shell fire, and the
little garrison was shaken by it. Just
then Worthlngton and a lieutenant,
Griffiths, arrived. They rallied the
men. Worthlngton took a machine
gun, and when the Germans tried to
storm them, they were swept back.
Worthlngton received the Military
Medal for his conduct that day.
LEONARD DESERVES
CHANCE AT WELSH
Champion Has Advantage in Short
Boot, But Encounter Mlht lie -Evened
by Extra Rounds.
By H. C Hamilton.
(United Pros Staff Corrapondent)
NEW YORK. May 1. Benny
Leonard's clean cut victory over
Ritchie Mitchell, alleged to have been
the best lightweight In the west,
entitles the New York scrapper to
a real bout with Freddie Welsh
not a ten round frost with the cham
pion,, such as hss been cooked up
and dished out to the fans several
times, but a real 20 round mill, la
which the best man will win.
It's about time Welsh was com
ing through and defending his title.
It's about time he discontinued his
pursuit of the American dollar and
gave some one an opportunity to
prove conclusively that he's better
than the Englishman, and it's Leon
ard's turn.
In all the years that have passed
since Welsh was awarded a decision
in London over Willie Ritchie, Welsh
has engaged in just one 20 round
encounter and he was careful to pick
Charlie White of Chicago as his op
ponent. Welsh is a whirlwind in a 10 round
engagement. ' He can move so fast
and block so cleverly there Isn't a
chance of any lightweight getting
close enough to slip over a finishing
punch. He can move at top speed
for this distance. Hence, there's
no danger of his crown being lost.
In a longer bout he might tire a lit
tle. Certainly he could not run
away over that distance and get the
referee's decision if the referee knew
what he ' was doing. . It would be
worth while to see some one make
Welsh fight.

"Swat the ball!"
The batsman did. He swatted the
prettiest fly any fan wonld ask to see.
