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.
