“FIGHTING BILL”. IS ALASKA 1S CALLED VITAL WAR AREA Col. Mitchell Minimizes the| Strategic Importance of Hawaii Islands. Attorney General’s Chief Assistant Is Proving His Value. Was Among America’s Sons Who Won Honor In the World War. The narrow body of water between laska and Siberfa, and not the Ha an Islands, is the of the « THE LAURELS “hard-boiled”—that was a favorite term, but “Wild Bill"” never asked his men to do anything that he was not capable and willing to do. He scrambled with them over walls and fences and broken terrain, and when they were fatigued he cheered them up. he thumped his own chest and told the others to be men, to be hard, and always he made light of the tasks ahead. This doesn’t mean that he is the cheerful optimist. Far from it. He knew when things were wrong, but he believed that the fit man could overcome every obstacle. All of his comrades knew that when “Fighting Bill” went to France he would acquit himself with honor. They did not know, however, that he would come back with the greatest honor of all—the medal of valor voted by the Congress. Yet it seemed entirely natural that | he should. So today the Assistant to the Attorney General is entitled to is entitled to the salute from a major general. Tlere is the citation which accom- panied the medal: “William_Joseph Donovan, colonel, Cavalry, Officers’ Reserve Corps, then lieutenant colonel, 165th Infantry, 42d Division, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty near Landres and St. Georges, France, October 14-15, 1918. Col. Donovan personally led the as- saulting in an attack upon & very sirongly organized position, and when our troops were suffering heavy casualties he encouraged all near him by his example, moving along his men in an exposed position, reorganizing decimated platoons and accompanying them forward in attacks. When he was wounded in the leg by a machine gun bullet ho refused to be evacuated with his unit until it withdrew to a less exposed position.” The 424 was the famous Rainbow EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

The Department of Justice Is fortunate to have such a man, especially at this time. | 192 falo, 30, - 192¢ d the medal ter of Rain aylng: “This truly won by our entire He dep: a product of Buf Irishman, a firm Orders Over $5 Delivered Free Vines Asters Calendula Cosmos African Marigolds Flowers Moon alvia Vincas Coleus Lantanas Parlor Tvy Wandering Jew St Zinnia Olives g ; Special Spring Sale 10,000 Bedding Plants Begonias English Tvy Ageratum Heliotrope Dusty Miller Verbenac Petunias French - $ 1 DOZEN Phlox golds €.
