THE CROIX DE GUERRE.
American .Snldivn Dccorsted fop
Bravery?Lieut. Coleman of Charleston,
Among the Number.
With the American Army in
France, Sunday, March 3.?Premier
Clemenceau, who spent today on the
American front northwest of Toul,
decorated two lieutenants, two sergeants,
and two privates with the
Croix de Guerre with the Palm for
heroism which they displayed in the
recent German raid in this sector.
'One of the lieutenants comes from
Brooklyn and the other from Charleston,
S. C., Lieut. William Coleman.
Both men went out into No
Man's Land in broad daylight and
got a German prisoner.
M. Clemenceau, accompanied by
two French generals, arrived at
American headquarters at the front
at an early hour and immediately
went to where the troops were drawn
up on three sides of a square in
companies.
Way to Do It.
The names of the men to be decorated
were called, and they stepped
up, the French premier pinning the
decorations on them and saying a
word to each. One he patted upon
the shoulder and said:
"That's the way to do it."
The American blushed and retired
to the ranKs.
One of the French generals said
to a lieutenant, newly decorated:
"We have got the Boches down
and we shall put them down deeper
if we keep working as we have."
Private Is Late.
At the end of the ceremony a
young private came runnihg along
hurriedly. He spoke for a moment
with his captain, fearing apparently
that he was going to lose his medal.

The captain directed him to pro
ceed to M. Clemenceau's automobile,
which he did. The premiei
stepped out and slapped him upor
the back, handing him his war cross
One of the generals remarked laughingly:
"Never mind about being late
You were on time the other morning;
that is enough."
The soldier, in the excitement anc
glory of the moment, forgot to salute,
but an American general camt
to his rescue, whispering:
"Salute! Salute!"
Can't Wear Them.
None of the decorated men car
wear their honors until authorized
by Congress. The premier went fai
forward into an observation posl
overlooking No Man's Land, the
German positions and the countrj
in the distance, then hidden in the
haze. He entered several dug-outs
j under the ruins of houses broughl
down since the arrival of the American
troops. A few shells, botli
friendly and hostile, whistled overhead
while M. Clemenceau was there
but none dropped near. The premiei
seemed especially impressed with the
sturdy, healthy appearance of the
Americans, even those caked in mud,
who had just returned from the
front line. He spent the afternoon
in inspecting the billets in many
towns back of the lines and also visited
a field hospital, where he talked
with the men wounded in the recent
raid, telling all of them they
had done finely.
TACKY PARTY.
The Tacky Party at the Bethle
hem school for the benefit of the
Red Cross, was a great success. Everybody
in the neighborhood was
present dressed as tacky as coulcl be.
Miss Maggie Hagen was voted to be
the tackiest lady and Mr. Lindsay
Baker the tackiest gentleman present.
Appropriate prizes were awarded
to them which caused much merriment.
A Spelling Bee was enjoyed by
al. The young people livened up on
