Sergeant Samuel Woodflll, United
States army, Is declared by General
Pershing to be the greatest of the
American heroes of the World war
The sergeant’s home is at Bellevlew,
Ind., where Ills brother and sisters
still live.
Woodflll was a lieutenant and cap
tain, but such are the fortunes of wur
that he Is back again In the ranks.
Sergeant Woodflll has been In the
hrmy twenty years. He was a non
commissioned officer when the United
States entered the World war. After
the armistice he re-entered the regular
army as an enlisted man.
He had attacked almost single-hand
ed a series of German machine gun
nests, had killed the crews, killing the
last of them with an Intrenching pick,
When Interviewed by newspaper
men he said of his deeds: “My only
regret Is that I could not have done
more.”
Pershing Doesn’t Share Regret,
This regret was not shared by the
commanding general of the army.
General Pershing placed this man
ahead of Sergt. Alvin York, who stood
off and captured 132 Germans.
The statement by General Pershing
was based on the citation, as a result
' of which Woodflll, then a lieutenant,
received a commission (temporary) hs
captain, the congressional medal of
hohor, the crolx do guerre with palm,
was made a chevalier of the Legion
of Honor, and received from Monte
negro the Order of Prince Dantlo (fifth
class).
But here Is Woodflll's citation:
“For conspicuous gallantry and ln-
trepodlty above and beyond the call
of duty In action with the enemy nt
Ounel, France, October 12, 1918. While
he was leudlng Ills company ugulnst
the enemy his line came under heavy
machine gun Are, which threatened to
hold up the advance.
“Followed by two soldiers nt 2.”
yards, this officer went out nhond of
his first line toward a machine gun
nest and worked h1s way around Its
flank, leaving two soldiers In front.
“When lie got withiu ten yards of
the gun it cedsed firing, and four of
the enemy appeared, three of whom
were shot by Lieutenant Woodflll.
Fight* German Officer.
“The fourth officer rushed ut Lieu
tenant Woodflll, who attempted to
club the officer with his rifle. After u
hand-to-hand struggle Lieutenant
Woodflll killed the officer with his pis
tol. His company thereupon continued
to advance until shortly afterward*
another machine gun nest was encoun
tered.
“Calling on his men to follow, Lieu
tenant Woodflll rushed aheud of his
line In the face of heavy Are from the
nest
“A few minute* later this -office*
for the third time demonstrated con
spicuous daring by charging another
machine gun position, killing flve meu
in one machine gun pit with his rifle.
He then drew his revolver aud started
to Jump into the pit when two other
gunners only n few yards away turned
their gun on him. <
“Falling'te kill them with his re
volver, he grabbed a pick lying near
by and killed'both of them. Inspired
by the exceptional courage displayed
by this officer, -his men pressed on to
their objective Under severe shell and
machine gun fire.”
This grotesque mask, used by on.
of -the leading British mentors of so
ciety at a recent chaHfy tableaux
caused consternation and fear among
the patrons of the affair. Only after
the lady had removed the mask, show
ing that undernenth it'.was the beau
