NOME HERO BACKING SCHOOL (Continued From Page 1) emption. He carried this conscience, which told him that war was wrong because it was un-Chris-tian, into battle with him. It was in the Argonne on Oct. 8, 1918. Alvin York and fifteen other Americans were behind the German lines. They had take a group of German prisoners when German machine guns opened Are. The Germans dropped to the ground, so the volley of lead swept over them. Six Americans fell dead, and three, including the commanding officer, Sergeant Early, were wounded. Sergeant York dived to the ground between two shrubs. From this position, with an eye made expert by years of squirrel hunting and a steady hand governed by a soul that knew no fear, York picked off the German machine gunners. Asa head would be raised out of the pit to sight the machine gun, York’s quicker eye would send' a bullet through that head. Deplored Killing But as he did It, York called, “come on down.” This Christian soldier did not enjoy killing—he wanted to tale his enemies alive. And he prayed as he fought. Suddenly, to the left, seven Germans, with fixed bayonets, dashed out to put an end to this one American who would presume to vanquish a whole battery of machine guns. York picked off the rear one first, the next to the rear second—and so on. The German major ordered surrender and ninety Germans passed into the custody of seven Americans. Corporal York, acting as sergeant, in the place of his dead commander, took the lead and three Americans took positions on each side of the column of prisoners. As they went they got more prisoners, until they had four officers and 128 men. York’s reception, when he reached the American lines, was a foretaste of the huzzas that the whole world was to give this American, whose deed, in the opinion of Marshal Foch, the commander-in-chief of the allied forces, “was the greatest thing accomplished by any private soldier of all the armies of Europe.” But York was not set up. York returned to his mount-tin home on the great Cumberland plateau of Tennessee. Deaf to Money’s Lure Moving picture people offered him $150,000 for three days’ work. Vaudeville people offered him $5,000 a week. To all this he turned a deaf ear. He would not commercialize what to him was simply an act of duty. A manufacturer of machine guns offered him $20,000 if he would just allow himself to be photographed standing by the side of one of their guns. He refused. Though there is a $15,000 mortgage on his farm, due to a fire which destroyed buildings and equipment, he will not exploit himself. York asks nothing of the American people for himself. But he asks something for the boys and girls of the mountains. The school which will be a secondary or high school, will not be denominational. but it will be Christian, for religion is the animating motive of York’s life. A good tobacco crop is predicten for Canada this year. In Ontario the 1926 crop will be from 20 to 25 per cent larger than that of 1925

PRESIDENT’S WIFE GREETED AT TRAIN (Continued From Page 1) ett Sanders, formerly of Terre Haute, the President's secretary and secret service men, who constantly accompany the President. Coolidge, less vivacious, stood smiling while the college girls and spectators focused their gaze upon his wife. However, he removed his hat and applauded when the girls sang "Phi Gam Honeymoon." President Coolidge is a member of the Phi Gamma Delta college fraternity. Joins in Singing But Grace Coolidge won the hearts of her sorority sisters, for she is a Pi Phi, by joining \in the singing of a number of songs and chatting with the crowd. “Are all you girls Pi Phi’s?” Mrs. Coolidge asked. - “We sure are,” replied the co-eds. “That's fine,” said Mrs. Coolidge, laughingly. “Wine and Silver Blue” and the “Pi Phi Anthem” were songs Mrs. Coolidge sang. She said she remembered them from the days when she was a, student of the University of Vermont, at Burlington. “I used to know that twenty-five years ago,” she said, after one song was ended. Billie Mae Kreider, president of the Butler Pi Phi chapter, gave her distinguished sorority sister a huge bouquet of chrysanthemums, in behalf of the local chapter. “When do you initiate your freshmen?” Mrs. Coolidge sked. "In their sophomore year,” was the reply. That the presidential family was exceedingly well dressed was the verdict from the spectators at the train. Mrs. Coolidge wore a moire ribbon hat with a rhinestone buckle, black sealskin coat, beige hose and lowheeled, strapped black shoes. A pearl necklace and pearl earrings blended ■well with the costume, according to the Butler girls. He’s a Quiet Dresser Conservatism was the dominant note in the President's garb. He wore a dark brown hat. dark tie of mixed colors, collar with moderately long points, black overcoat and highly-pol-ished black shoes. The party was en route to the dedication of Kansas City’s $1,500,000 war memorial today. No delegation was present at the train from Republican State headquarters. but the crowd included a number of the President’s admirers in Indianapolis.
