HIGHEST HONORS FOR BRAVE MEN - ? - ^ HEROIC PERFORMANCE OF SER4 GEANT HALL REMEMBERED. Father Will Get Medal Fort Mill Soldier Who Died of Wounds Advanced Alone ^ Against Enemy. Charleston, June 4.?A congres sional medal of honor?ine uiguesL award of any that an American soldier can win?has been received at the Southeastern department headquarters to be presented to the father of Sergt. Thomas Lee Hall of Company G, 118th infantry.- The medal - was awarded posthumously, the heroic South Carolinian having been mortally wounded in action. Sergeant Hall was from Fort Mill, S. C., at which place his father, William L. Hall, resides. The medal will be pre. - seated by the commanding officer of the Southeastern department. Brigadier General Clarence H. McNeil is at present commander of the depart w ment, pending the arrival of Lieutenant General Bullard. As General McNeil, who commands the South Atlantic coast artillery district, is to be | succeeded by Brigadier General John D. Barnett, it is not known yet just who will present tne precious rosea that commemorates one of the most heroic deeds recorded in the history ? ' Hi. v'i y of American arms. Few distinguished deeds in the recent war equaled the courageous action of Sergeant Hall, whose act of heroism, according to the official citation, was calmly calculated. It was ?* v ' not a feat performed on the spur of a moment, but a deliberate deed of daring, done in the full consciousness of the risk assumed. Sergeant Hall was a member of the famous 118th regiment of the 30th division, a regicV, ment which has won six of the 70 .X congressional medals of honjor awarded during the war. The following is the official record of his act: "For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call '0: of duty in action with the enemy near Montbrehain, France, October 8, 1918. Having overcome two machine gun nests under his skilful leaderJ-ft , ship, Sergeant Hall's platoon was jth- stopped 800 yards from its final o foil jective by machine gun'fire of parV'c tfcular intensity. Ordering his men to take cover in a sunken road, he advanced alone on the enemy machine gun post and killed five members of the crew with his bayonet and thereby made possible the further advance of the line. While attacking ~ another machine gun nest later in the Ky. day the gallant soldier was mortally wounded." \ ":!t is not known as yet just when the medal will be presented to the Kr- x soldier's father, nor where it will be presented. General McNeil is now " corresponding with Mr. Hall to arrange these two matters. Electricity Does It All. r . As an electrical plant, the new ' Pennsylvania hotel in New York, -.y \ with its accommodations for 3,500 registered guests, is perhaps unique. It is a city in which everything possible is done electrically, and for this it receives normally sufficient energy from the main power station of the Pennsylvania railroad, while a generator in the hotel provides for emergency lighting at every corridor apd other necessary points; The 240 lighting circuits take about 2,250 kilowatts from the transformer room in the basement. The electric eleva"I* tors number 27, including one for automobiles, and there are also dumbwaiters and freight hoists. Tht kitchens have electric warming ovens, ranges and motor driven appliances. The hotel has hospital, res v taurant, barber shop and machine, - 7 carpenter and other shops and for thieve electric appliances in great variety are providedj The electric laundry is the world's greatest. The * telephone quarters occupy 3,165 sq,uare feet of floor space and pro'? . vide for 60 trunk lines and 3,340 extensions, besides 200 telautographs. There are also an electric ? clock and time stamp system and a fire and watchman signal system. He'd See It Out. V* A stranger entered a church in the middle of the sermon and seated himself on the back pew. After a while he began to fidget. Leaning over to the white-haired man at his side, evidently an old member of the congregation, he whispered: "How long has he been preaching?" "Thirty or forty years, I think," the old man answered. "I don't know exactly." ^ "I'll stay, then," decided ihe stranger. "He must be nearly done." SECRET BATTLE MAP SHOWN. | Pershing's Own Idea 10 Have People See Military Results Attained. Washington, May 17.?There is now on exhibition in the United States national museum at Washing- j ton what is probably the most interesting and valuable single record of America's part in the great war? j General Pershing's own secret battle j map, transported here from his head- j quarters in France and set up in the I ^.4-1 *r ^ r. if n'OC f Vi oro museum ^ n ? ao tuv& v. It was General Pershing's own | idea to have the map displayed to the 1 public to show the people of the j United States the actual military results obtained by their armies. For instance, at the hour the armistice was signed, the United States forces were holding 145 kilometers of front, of which 134 kilometers were active. This is made plain on the map by the colored pins and tags by which the j different allied and enemy armies are shown. The map itself shows the location of all divisions, both the enemy and allied, on the Western front; the correct battle line; commanding generals, locations of headquarters and boundaries down to include armies, and various other information concerning divisions, as for example, whether they were fresh or tired. The map was developed and kept posted to date daily by the third section of General Pershing's staff, and used by them and other superior oificers during active operations for strategical studies and purposes of general information. It is evident that during the war the information which this map contained was such that the enemy j would have spared no pains to secure j it. Every precaution was taken to | insure its secrecy and to this end the j map was always kept locked up j and 'in addition was kept in a small j compartment formed by a closeu j screen. Furthermore, access to this j map was had by only the half dozen | chiefs of the general headquarteis j staff sections whose work was di- I rectly affected by the changes shown on the map. This map appears to j have been unique. The staff officers I from the different allied headquar-1 ters who had occasion to see the map declared that it was the most com-1 plete representation of the opposing' forces that they had seen. General Pershing, in his letter to i the adjutant general suggesting the public display of the map in the national museum, says: "It has occurred to me that this particular map with its accompanying installation will have a great historical value. It will be of intense interest to future generations, nor only because it was the only map of its kind used at these headquarters, but because it shows in a vivid fashion I the exact location at the hour of the j armistice." i>> ^ John Jftrown's Son. The death by suicide of Salmon P. I Brown, youngest son of John Brown, ( is a melancholy ending of a life that j was many times risked in the border j raids in which the father and broth- j ets took part in "bleeding Kansas j days." Salmon Brown was 83 years! old. He had been confined to his bed at his home in Portland, Ore., two j years and took his life last week with ; a revolver which he had carried i through the War Between the States, j in which he served as a lieutenant.? Springfield Republican. BOOSTING MINISTERS' PAY. Methodists Facing Need of Adequate Salary for Pastors. A minimum salary for Methodist j ministers of from $1,000 to $1,200 a; I year is the plan of the Methodist centenary, according to Robert M. J Pierce, secretary of the life service! department of the centenary. Part of j the $140,000,000 which is being: * - * ?-.'11 raised by the .Methodist cnurcn win be spent for this purpose. j "The average salary for Methodist ministers today is only $G00," said,' Mr. Pierce. "It is next to impossible j to support a family on that. Is it j any wonder that talented Methodist: young people become doctors and; lawyers and engineers instead? "A good many persons still go on; the assumption that a minister and | his family should' starve. A man shouldn't be in the ministry, they reason, unless he is willing to forego all the material rewards of life. The plain economic fact is that starvation wages do not pay. Not for any individual worker's benefit, but for the interest of the service, we intend to do away with starvation wages in the ministry and other branches of Christian work. "The churches of America are just now engaged in the greatest campaign in history. They need leaders. In selecting those leaders and in training them, the church must use at least as much intelligence as does a business corporation." The Methodist Episcopal church recently discovered that it is running out of ministers. Five per cent, of its conference members die off yearly and the church is taking in only 3 1-3 per cent, to fill the gap. Men who are not qualified by education and training to join the conference are in many cases filling the least paid and most undesirable churches, the very places where the highest talent in the ministry is needed. Student conferences are already being held throughout America, under the direction of the live service department, in order to recruit young people for Christian service. Not in Methodist colleges alone, but in the State universities and normal schools are the same activities being carried on. In high schools, summer academies and'institutes and even in the army and navy, a similar watch for recruits is in progress.?Springfield Republican. ? Chemical Navigation. A useful tropical Pacific guide to navigation in chemical tests of the sea water was found by Dr. 4. G. Mayor on a recent Carnegie Institution voyage. In the prevailing westerly drift, the water tends to alkalinity, but in easterly counter currents there was a marked change to acidity, as shown by the yellow color assumed when a few drops of thymol sulphonephtalein were added to a little of the water, the alkaline color being green- J ish-blue. As these easterly currents are often encountered in the neigh-' borhood of low lying coral islands,! such as Palmyra and the Phoenix and | Union Groups, the acidity may warn j of danger at night in a region of Lu light houses. The test may also indicate the passing from tropical waters to a colder current, the latter being distinctly less alkaline. ^ < > The Herald Book Store is again selling magazines. iJOii L worry about a cook.
