Gives All Black Sheep’ Makes Good When Confronted With Supreme Test.

'T'HE World war Is long over, but memories linger, some of them as vivid as they were twelve years ago. What are your memories of this titanic conflict? Thousands of Time* readers will be interested, so this newspaper is offering a prize of $lO for the best story of the war submitted each week with a second prize of $5. Write yours now and rush it to the World War Contest Editor of The Times. Every one will be printed that space will permit. Announcement of the winners will be made each Wednesday following week of publication. The first ones appeared yesterday. Make them as short as you can. without spoiling your narrative. Also, give name of your outfit, with your name and address. Here is today's offering. It's longer than we want most of them, but it packs a thrill: a a b ALL during the night a cold rain had been falling, and it soaked through our uniforms and chilled us to the bone. We were lying in a shell hole on the slope of “Dead Man's Hill." and farther up the slope we could make out the location of the enemy by the flares that continually went up. To the east we could see the reddened sky. where the enemy was putting over a barrage. In the rear we could hear the rumble of the big guns, far back at Verdun. and the sharp crack of the “75" close up. Our nerves were kept on edge by a machine gun directly in front of us, by its tat-a-tat-tat, and the snap of the bullets going over our heads. John and I lay close together, peering into the night, listening for strange sounds. I had known John since I had joined up with the 101st, and, although he was always friendly and a good buddy, he never had much to say about his family or his past. But I guess lying there in the mud. with nothing to do but listen to the rain and shells, made him want to talk.

YOU know. Bill, I never told you much about my family or myself before, but I have been thinking and trying to figure the reason for all this, why men are willing to give up homes and family, ease and comfort, to come over here to suffer and probably die.” “I think it is because it gives them a chance to find themselves, to lift themselves from what they are, and be what they dream they might be—real men. with courage and determination,” John continued. “Back in Boston I was a young lawyer with a bright future. My mother thought the world of me and encouraged me in every way, but every time success was within reach, I let go. Bright lights booze and fast women. You understand. ‘Finally my folks were discouraged with me. and I was slipping back little by little. Then the war came. I joined up. thinking maybe I could find myself over here, go back and make good, and make my mother happy.” I reached over and took his hand. "I understand. Buddy. Perhaps you will get your chance when the war is over, and then you'll see things different.” “Yes, Bill. I see everything different now. I sure would like to go back and show them I can make good." tt a a rr _ 'HE shelling increased with Jl dawn. We were going over at daybreak. We could hear our guns opening up in back of us, the rear growing louder every minute. To our right we could see our men crawling out of their shell holes, and moving forward. John and I got up on our cramped legs and climbed out of our shell hole. “Let’s go,” he said, as we clasped hands. We moved in a broken line up the hill. Directly in front of us came a steady stream of machine gun bullets. John’s face was white, but it had a determined look.

*I"M going to crawl ahead and JL try to stop that gun. Bill. They are getting too many of our boys.” i knew there was no use saying anything or trying to stop him. John knew his big chance had come. He was thinking of his mother back home. He crawled swiftly forward and disappeared up the hill. In a few minutes the machine gun was silenced. We rushed forward When we reached the enemy line, we found the machine gun crew wiped out. Lying across the gun we found John, dead, a smile on his face. He had his big chance, and made good.

COUNCIL DELAYS ACTION ON CITY MARATHON BAN Divided Views Expressed by Members on Ordinance Favored by Mayor. Expressions from two members of the city council welfare committee considering the ordinance to prohibit future dance marathons in the city today Indicated the council will be divided in sentiment when the measure comes up for passage at the next session. The next regular meeting Is scheduled for April 7. There was no attempt to pass the measure Monday night under suspension of rules. City Clerk Henry O. Goett read the measure and President Ernest C. Ropkey referred it to the welfare committee composed of Clarence I. Wheatley, chairman; James A. Houck, George A. Henry, the Rev. C. A. Hildebrand and Fred C. Gardner. Dance Is Visited “I don’t think we should monkey with such things,” said Wheatley. “I've always felt that if folks want to take part in such affairs it's none of my business.” Following the council session, several of the councilmen and other city officials visited the Cadle tabernacle marathon being promoted by a son of Councilman Charles Morgan. The Rev. C. A. -Hildebrand, preacher-councilman, sat in a reserved box seat along w T ith other city officials, enjoying the performance, but Councilmen Ropkey, Gardner and Maurice Tennant took an inconspicuous seat in the back row for a few minutes’ observation. “If those guys want to exert themselves that way, it’s a free country,” said Mr. Hildebrand. Attorney Retained Council President Ropkey declared he thought the “moral effect bad ” and that he “had enough for the rest of my life.” Frank Baker, Democratic attorney, was retained to represent the Madden-Nottingham Legion post, under whose auspices the “Mad Marathon” is being staged, and attended the council session along with a dozen legionnaires. The ordinance introduced at request of Mayor Sullivan and other city officials, would prohibit promoters from staging another marathon dance and would curb the renting of a hall or building for that purpose. Maximum fine of S2OO and sentence of 180 days was the penalty provided.
