WORLD PAYS HOMAGE TO RESCUED BRITISH FLYERS
|
A narrow strip of deep red ribbon
edgzed with blue, pinned slightly
askew On his shirt, was the only evi
dence Private George Goumas seemed |
at first to give Monday morning that
he was any different from the rest of
h's tanned buddies, as he sat out
side of the physical examination
building at Camp Gordon and watch
ed them file through the entrance. |
It takes quite a little something to
win a distinguished service cross.
That was what the ribbon bespoke.
But there wasn't any special set to
the jaw or sternness to the eye
which are believed to be absolute es
sentials to the proper, according to
Form Z, ayved-in-the-wool hero.
From this viewpeint the young sig
nal corpsman, who reached the camp
Sunday with the Southern men of the
signal battalion, 327th Infantry, 321st
Machine Gun Battalion, and other
units of the Eighty-second Division,
might have been termed a disap
pointment.
He's Modest, Too. ’
But he wasn't,
For he had the primest of all the
prime requisites of a hero, the sine
qua non, or whatever it is. He was
modest. And somehow his general
appearance didn't seem to need even
that bit of ribbon to proclaim him. It
can't be said that he stood out
among his fellows. He was just one
of them. From which is to be in
ferrea that they were all heroes.
And they looked it fully. Probably
they were. They had that same he
roic quality of modesty and were
vastly more interested in the pro
ceedings just ahead which would end
in their discharge than in relating
whai they'd done. That part was
past. This wasn’'t. A big difference
there.
But it was possible to find out how
Goumas got his D. S. C. The others
were willing enough to tell ‘of that. It
was gathered that he displayed so
mich real courage in the operation of
a telephone relay station in omne of
the hottest spots in all the Argonne
that (General }i’ershinz was willing to
come down afterward to the divi
sioi’s billet area in the Haute-Marne
and personally decorate him while the
whoie division stood in formal forma
tion. #nd only failed to shout its ap
proval bhecause it was “at attention”
and such things aren’t done when
generals are around.
Shell Kills Many.
He had heen operating the station
with five others when a shell came.
Rursting, it either killed or wounded
all but Goumas. Disregarding his
own great danger—he would have
been fully justified in finding a nice
littie shell hole and staying in it—he
went to the others and began attend
ing the wounded. .
A first-aid station was some dis
tance away. Laboriously, through
bursting shells, he brought each of
the wounded to the station. And
then, aithough the shelling grew
more and more severe, he realized
the utmost importance of maintain
ing communications and set about
repairing the damage. And he suc
ceeded.
All Have Stories.
And so they gave him a D. S. C.
GGoumas M\‘n'x the only one with a
story In fact, there wasn’'t a man
there without at least one rattling
good one. There was [.ieutenant
Colonel F. Wellborn Blalock, whom
some know by the more familiar ap
pellation, “Buzz.” He came out of
the first training camp at Fort Mec-
Pherson as a captain, was commis
sioned a major before leaving Camp
Gordon, and he replaced the gold
leaves on his shoulders with a silver
one shortly before he came back from
France.
Alsc somewhere in his bedding roll
was a divisional citation awarded by
Major Gieneral George B. Duncan for
his eallantry while fighting with the
297th Infantry, admitted even by the
lads of the Seventy-seventh Division
_whese l.ost Battalion it was cred
ited with “finding”’--to be a noble
‘e 4R &
Penty More. *
There were plenty more. Officers
and enlisied men, men wenaring the
insignia of ten or more different di
visicns who were here as casuals, and
the Southern contingent of Tighty
gacond men, in all numbering more
than 500—each looking good. feeling
fine and anxious for his discharge,
which affectionately he called “my
little piece of paper.”
There was Captain Walter 0.
Marshburn, of the 325 tn Infantry.
and Lieutenant Robert H. Smith, who
used to be plain Private “Rabbit”
Smith, of old Ambulance Company
29, and Captain Jack Cozine and
Lieutenant A. C. Slattery, one of the
best machine gunners of the 325th,
and T.ientenant J. A. Rankston. There
was a lot of them. The official list
reads:
Captain George F. Drew, of Live
Oak, Fla.: Lieutenant 3 W. Tins

Resume Ministry
LYERLY, GA., May 26.—Private
Alfred L. Pullen, of Summerville,
who was the only minister of the
gospel from Chattooga County to
cross the briny deep to help conquer
the Kaiser has wired his mother,
Mrs. N. R. Puli n, of Summerville,
that he landed back in the good old
U. 8. A. on May 23 at Camp Merritt,
N. J., and hoped to be discharged and
return home soon.
Although Mr. Pullen had been a
student for ministerial work for some
time before war was declarcd and
had planned to be ordained as a min
ister in the Baptist Church at Sum
merville at about the .une the se
lective service law was passed by
Congress, he abandoned (he iiea of
being ordained, which wou'!l have ex
empted him from army service, be
cause he said he rfelt hke it would
place him in the lignt of u “‘slacker,’
and to Eru\'e his loya'!ty he iet the
draft take its course, anud when his
turn came he was sent to eamp with
other Chattooga County boys and
served as a private, being a member
of the Thirty-third Division.
A few davs before sailing for
France, Mr. Pullen decide.d he couid
serve a better purpose in 'he army
by becoming an ordained minister, '
and wrote home to his pastor, the |
Rev. J. M. Smith, of Lyerly, to call |
a speciai church conference and send
him the nacessary papers so that he l
might be ordained before leaving the
United States. The conference ar- l
ranged the papers, and they were for- |
warded to Mr. Pullen, but it seems it
was not uncommon for the mail for
the soldiers to be delayed, and Mr.
Pullen did not receive the documents l
until several months after he reached
France. Then it was too late. Mr.
Pullen did not care to be ordained
“over there:' so he served his coun
try as a private, returns home as a
private, and no one can call him a
draft evader, but he will be known by
his friends as Chattooga’s hero min
ister.
He probably will be ordained at the
South Summerville Baptist Church,
of which he is a member, soon after
his return home, and his numerous
friends throughout northwest Georgia
and northern Alabama predict he will
become one of Chattooga’'s leading
divines.

A delegation headed by William J.
Brvan and representing the Anti-
Saloon' L.eague of America, will arrive
in Atlanta Saturday for two meet
ings on that day. The first will take
place in the afternoon at 3:30 o'clock
at the Wesley Memorial Church and
the other will be held Saturday night
at the Baptist Tabernacle. At the
conclusion of the Seven National Pro
hibition Circuit tours which are under
way, the nineteenth annual conven
tion of the Anti-Saloon League will
meet in Washington June 4.
Mr. Bryan's party left Chicago Sun
day evening and will visit, in the or
der named, Aurora, 111., Indianapolis,
Columbus, Louisville, Nashville, Me
ridian, Birmingham, Atlanta and
Nashville. Mr. Bryan will leave Sa
vannah next Monday for his home in
Nebraska, while the others of the
party will proceed to Washington for
the two great temperance gatherings.
Foreign temperance leaders in the
Southeastern tour are the Rev. John
Catley, representing the Irish tem
perance forces; Dr. R. Hercod, of
Lausanne, Switzerland, general secre
tary of the international temperance
bureau: Canon John Bertram Master
man, of London, former professor of
Listory of Birmingham University,;
Dr Henry Carter, member of the cen.-
trai control board of Great Britain,
and Thomas Rae, of Glasgow, Scot
land. .
These men are studying conditions
in the United States on the eve of the
enforcement of wa -time prohibition,
and at the same time are emphasizing
the fact that there is and had been
for many years even hefore the great
war a well-defined antialcoholic
mevement abroad; that it was gain
ing great headway when the Allied
leaders by edicts restricted the use of
intoxicating beverages and sounded
th> death knell of liquor traffic
tkroughout the world. Their collabo
ration with the dry leaders of Amer
ica is expected to result \in a co
ordination of efforts to make the
whole world permanently and irrevo
cably dry.

Dr. Marion McH. Hull, vice chair
man of the Atlanta committee on ar
rangements for the biennial conven
tion of the Laymen's Missionary
Movement of the Southern Presbyte
rian Church, which meets in Atlanta
on June 10, announced Monday that
the U, 8. Railroad Administration had
granted a special reduced rate of one
and one-third fare for the round trip
to Atlanta,
The Atlanta committee took the
matter up with W. J. Kraig, chairman
of the Southern passenger traffic
committee, and through his*courteous
co-operation was able to secure the
rate. This is the first time a reduced
rate for a convention has been au
thorized since the Federal Govern
ment took over the railroads as a war
measure on the first of January, 1918,
To get-the reduced rate a delegate
to the convention will buy a full-fare
ticket from his home to Atlanta and
take a receipt from the ticket agent.
In Atlanta he will present this re
ceipt to an official of the convention
designated for that purgose, and the
same will be approved. He will then
present it for validation to a railroad
official and secure his return ticket at
one-third fare,
From four to five thousand dele
gates will attend the great biennial
convention. Every Southern State
and practically every Presbyterian
C‘hurch from Virginia to Texas will
be represented. There will be two
conventions in session simultaneous
ly, one being the convention of the
laymen and the other the convention
of the women’s auxiliary. Dr. Hull
announced Monday that Wesley Me
morial Church has been selected as
the meeting place for the men, and
the Baptist Tabernacle as the meeting
place for the women.
