WOODFILL WON HIS EMBLEMS Honor, Everywh«re for Sergeant Who Exterminated Machine Gun Neeta and Many Germane. When Sergt. Samuel Woodfill pays a casual call on a friend nowadays.

he Is given "the freedom of the city.” It is no longer possible for him to travel merely as a "person.” The man who cleaned out three machine gun nests and killed 19 Germans as a morning’s job found Jersey City, N. J., waiting for him with

brass bunds when he dropped In to visit the American Legion. The next day he charged over to New York city where, as guest of Supreme Court Judge McCook, he was welcomed from the Bronx to the Battery. Woodfill says of his soldier-father “that he learned about shootin' from him.” And he shifts all the credit for his heroic deeds to the government. "It was Just the efficient training of the regular army,” he explains. He claims that his twenty years as “regular" should qualify him to speak. The sergeant wears his laurels well. He is striking in appearance and somewhat serious in manner. He values even more highly than decorations the tribute of his vivacious little wife, who claims he is "peerless at kitchen police duty.” PLAYS PART OF UNCLE SAM Former Private in Civil War Need, No Makeup to Participate In Pageants and Parades. Uncle Sam. long the product of cartoonists, exists in the flesh in the

person of George Campbell, former private in the Civil war, who is spending his latter days at the United, States Soldiers' Home in Washington, D. C. With his steel blue eyes* white joatee, Campbell is such a perfect incarnation of the artist s conception

I 1 nr; J

of Uncle Sam that he needs no makeup to make him the most attractive figure in a pageant or a parade. To keep up with the times, Campbell has adopted the George Washington post No. 1 of the American Legion, tha first post to be organized. He is the official grandfather of the unit, and takes great pleasure In fighting over the Civil war for the benefit of his younger buddies. Born In Ireland, Campbell was i brought to America as an infant. During the Civil war he served with the Seventeenth Infantry. Now-a-days nothing pleases him more than to don his red, white, and blue costume and lead a parade. Announces French Nativity. Maurice (Jimmy) Brocco, who with his partner has for the past two years won the Madison Square Garden bicycle race, has announced his French nativity after reports had him an Italian. He was born in Flsmes, on the Vesle river, Department of the Marne, 33 years ago. Flsmes was i ecaptured by American troops in July, 1918, in a desperate encounter. Post Is Thanked.
