“ PAGE 2 | GR Trembley, Who Was Re- sponsible for Defeat of Filipino Army and Capture of Aguinaldo BY A. E. GELDHOF, N. B. A. Washington Bureau. Washington, D. C., July 3—Belated recognition by the American people of the gallantry of the two greatest heores of our last two wars—the Spanish-American war and the war with Germany—will be forthcoming from congres: ssion, if the pub- lic will give proper support to the movement. These two heroes are: SERGEANT ALVIN C. YORK, of Pall Mall, Tenn—hero of the world war. LIEUT. WILLIAM B. TREMBLEY, of Okmulgee, Okla.—hero of the war with Spain. Sergt. York's story is fairly known to the American peopl née. killed 24 Germans with his rifle and captured 182, breaking up an at- tack on our lines that had been plan- ned by the Huns. Lieut. Trembley’s story was just as well known back in 1898—but the American people are quick to forget. Trembley, who was only a private then, performed a feat which was solely responsible for the defaat of a Filipino army, and the capture a little later of Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader. For their feats each of these heroes wag awarded the congressional honor medal; Trembley in 1898 and York in 1919; and each was granted, out of the munificence of the war depart- mént’s bureaucrats, a slight promo- | tion—York from corporal to sergeant, Trembley from private to corporal. Representative Edward C. Little of Kansas City, benea whose palm beach beats a soldier's heart—he was a colonel under Funston in the war with Spain—has introduced in the house a bill which will give real rec- ognition to these brave soldiers of Uncle. Sam. His bill makes each of them a cap- tain, and provides that they be placed immediately on the retired list of the army, at a retired captain’s pay of $150 a month. The bill has been referred to the military affairs committee with a good prospect of a favorable report to the house. There’s no need to recount the story of Sergeant York’s exploit on the western front last fall.| But the story of Trembley’s feat requires rep- etition. He was a boy of 18, and a private in the 20th Kansas volunteers during the fighting with the Filipinos in 1898. The late Gen. Frederick Funston, then colonel, was his regiment commander, and’ Congressman Little was lieuten- ant colonel of the regiment. The American volunteers were drawn up along one bank of the Rio Gane de la Pampagna, the biggest ver in the Philippines, and Aguin- To Ladies Who are Stout Fat is fatal to health and beauty.

YORK Sergeant Alvin C. York’s feat has been called by General Pershing and acclaimed by the gen- eral public as the greatest piece of individual heroism of the world war. Sergt. York, a religious conscientious objector when he was drafted from his mountain home in Tennessee, convinced of the righteousness of America’s cause, sailed into the Germans and wiped out a small army of them single-handed. He killed 24 of them in a machine gun nest with his rifle, and captured, with five assistants, 182 of the enemy, including four officers.

The rope sagged into the river, however, and the boat, probably punctured by a Eiliping bullet, sank—clothes and all. Then Colonel Funston procured @ raft, and loading it with men, pulled it across the stream. This operation was repeated until about 100 men had been ferried across the river Then they charged down on the Fili- pinos.
