CHICAGO, November 11.—Hope for a lasting world peace was expressed by Vice President Curtis today in an ad- dress at the Armistice day celebration on_Soldiers’ Field. Declaring the lesson of the ‘World War sufficient cause for permanent peace, the Vice President cited recent events which he believed pointed to a lasting understanding among the na- tions. He named the Kellogg peace pact, the Locarno treaty and the forth- coming London naval limitations con- ference as steps in this direction. Another lesson of the World War, which ended 11 years ago today, is that of preparedness, said Mr. Curtis. He insisted that this country must a ways provide an ample national de- fense while reducing the costs of an army and navy to that limitation. Warns Against Alliances. ‘The Vice President also warned that this Nation must not “be drawn into other couatries’ political quarrels, or into intangling alliances” with other nations. “‘Before the World War,” Mr. Curtis seid, “our Nation was a great world power. Now it is stronger and more powerful than ever before. It is in a position to and is using all its power and influence to prevent future wars. For this reason we have observed with the utmost satisfaction that the Kellogg pact renouncing war has been adhered to by so many nations. We hope the time has come when the great na- tions of the world will, by proper agree- ments, change the cruel custom sanc- tioned through the ages of engaging in war. “The people were pleased to note that China and Russia, both signers of the Kellogg pact, have refrained from going to war, acknowledging the agree- FOR RENT One Room, Kitchen, Bath and Reception Room.

Hopes Efforts to Be Rewarded. Recalling the visit of Prime Minister Macdonald of Great Britain and his conference with President Hoover, Mr. Curtis said: “Our people are praying their efforts may result in a fair, just and satisfac- tory agreement among the leading na- tions of the world. Both the President and Mr. Macdonald put all their cards on the table, and we hope their efforts may be rewarded. * * * “Now that so many nations have signed a pact to abrogate war, our minds naturally are occupled on the problem of world peace. We readily recall the various movements which we §| hope and pray will help bring it about as lasting—the Locarno treaty, the Kel- logg_pact, the of 1921, the evacuation of the Rhine- land, the visit of Premier Macdonald and the calling of a conference to be held in or near London in 1930. These steps all point toward permanent world peace. That it may come is the- pas- slonate and lasting desire of the people of the civilized world.” AIMS OF VETERANS Washington conference | 11§ IN PEACE OUTLINED | Doughboy Used Abandoned French Tank and Enemy’s Own Machine Guns.

BY A. B. MACDONALD. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nc\:mber 11.— John Barkley was mending a fence on his mother’s fatm on the Lincoln and Lee Highway, seven miles south of Hol€:n, Mo., when I fouyd him the other day. In old overalls and a com- fortable old cap he was hard at work. “Well,” he said, “Now I'll tell you. I'm afraid if I went over my war ex- perfences with you and it got into the paper folks would say I was boasting and I don’t want to do that.” “They tell me that only two men of all the 30,000 in the 3d Division got congressional medals of honor and you were one of them,” I said to him. He put his ax against the fence, sat down on a pile of posts, plucked a blue-grass stalk to play with and an- swered: “That's so all right.” Six Battle Clasps. “Then they say that on your victory medal are six bars or battle-clasps, in- dicating that you were in six major military operations over in France, and that is more than has any other medal- of-honor man living or dead. “That’s so, t00,” he said and he g"rlln- ned as he chewed the straw. “I'm prouder of that than of anything else. The American Expeditionary Forces were in only seven major operations in the whole war and I was in six of them.’ “Then,” I continued, “the Department of War in Washington says that on your French Croix de Guerre there are three palms and that each palm repre- sents three citations for bravery in the face of the enemy, nine cifations in all, by the French, alone. Is that right? “yes, that's so, It was pinned on my tunic by brave old Marshal Petain, and he kissed me on both cheeks as he did it.

A day of joy though this may be, still it strikes hard the note of loyalty which char- acterized the service of our men in time of war and which should characterize their service in time of peace. “Conceived out of the common inter- ests of those who served, the spirit of the American Legion today is the spirit which spurred our men to noble deeds = |on the field of battle. The Legion is Justifying its existence with a program of good citizenship, with untiring devo- tion to the care of our disabled com- rades and dependents of veterans, ad- vancing the principles of Americanism and giving unselfish service toward the :;leturment of our city, State and Na- jon. “Our celebration of this Armistice day, however, would be to no avail if we do not take advantage of the splen- did opportunity it affords to pledge anew our allegiance to flag and country and to reflect upon the duties and ob- ligations which we as citizens owe to the Nation. The lives which were snuffed out in the blaze of the World War will not have been sacrificed in vain if we dedicate our best efforts to the uplift of the Nation and to the preservation of those glorious principles of freedom and democracy for which our comrades died.” O F{Afllfl;fl.h%u:l&fin : Teasonable prices.

It took me hours to lead to this story. “It was 11:30 o'clock at night, the éth of October, when our intelligence sergeant told me that headquarters was raising hell about lack of information from the frorit.

Barkley got into the tank, waited under the hostile barrage until the enemy line was abreast of him, and then opened fire, completely breaking up the counterattack and “illing and wounding a large number of the enemy. Five minutes later an enemy 77 mm. gun opened fire on the tank, point- blank. One shell struck the drive wheel of the tank, but this soldier, neverthe- less, remained in the tank and, after the barrage ceased, broke up a second enemy counterattack, thereby enabling our forces to gain and hold Hill 253, ROBERT L. zeWZE' Major general United Stad Army, commanding. in a jacket, making & chamber that is kept filled with water to keep the gun barrel cool, otherwise it would soon heat up and swell and the shell would jam.

I was ready, anyhow, for a at them. “At 4:30 o'clock I saw flares go up all along the German line, and I knew they were coming; and sure enough, in & minute or two they did come. “The closest edge of the moving column was within 50 yards of me when I cut loose. You know, baby Maxim shells are on a belt; you insert it, press the trigger, the belt feeds in ing as long as you press the trigger. poured it into them at the rate of 60J shells a minute. I fired about 3,000 rounds, just sprayed lead on those men marching in close formation, and then my gun barrel got so hot the water Jacket boiled dry. “I decided to change barrels and in doing it the water ran out of the Jacket. Can of Oil Saves Dav. “I was in a fix. By this time they were shooting at me with rifles and machine guns, Lullets wery pattering all around me. I couldn't stay in the tank unagmed. My orly chance was to try and sneak out and crawl off into a shell hole. I slipped cut and started to crawl. One of the first things in my way was a gallon can of cylinder oils I tipped it; it was full. “I crawled back into the tank, drag- ging the can with me. I poured the oil into the jacket, I pressed the trigger, and the thir-r-r-r-ring of the gun was music to my ears as I poured another barrage of bullets into the enemy line, and that stopped it. The line broke and what was left of it went back into the woods.” At this point in his story Barkley paused. m"How many did you kill?” I asked m. “Well,” he drawled out slowly, “I don’t like to talk about that. I had an awful good target.” “All right,” I said to Barkley. “What happened next?” Field Gun Fires at Tank. “The enemy, of course, was badly surprised. They couldn't tell how many of us were in that tank. They turned machine guns on me. The bullets rained on the tank in one steady spat- tering. Then they sent out a patrol of grenades to flank me, but I got that first patrol—none got back. They sent out more patrols. One of my bullets exploded a whole bunch of grenades.” A 3-inch field piece opened up on me from a clump of trees and a shell from it almost got me. I located that German gun by its flash and I swung a circie of bullets around it and then cut an “X” across it. That gun did not bark again. “My gun was getting hot again. As the oil in the jacket heated and boiled, the thick black smoke almost choked me. The Germans called for a barrage especially for my benefit. They opened on me with 77-millimeter guns and the shells began dropping around me. One shell struck within 50 yards of me. The next landed a little closer. I was peer- ing out of my turret porthole when there came a blinding crash—and un- consciousness. Unconscious 30 Minutes. “I woke tearing at the throat and breast of my tunic.

It was lucky for me that I had been, for the Germans thought that shell had put the tank out, and they were launc] a second attack. “The stock of my machine gun was broken off, but I fed in a strip of shells and pulled the trigger; she worked. ‘While I lay unconscious, the gun bar- rel had cooled. I began grinding her. Spraying bullets back and forth, and that second attacking column melted away as the first had done. “I didn't know then the importance of my little one-gun barrage, but the official reports said afterward the break- ing up of the two attacks gave our 7th Infantry time to prepare and launch its attack against that part of the German line, and to take hill 253, a very important point.

I was only a boy. “The next Spring, March 17, 1919, in the great aviation field near Ander- nach, the men that were alive of the 3d Division were reviewed by Gen. Pershing. There he pinned on my breast the Medal of Honor and said the 7th Infantry couldn’t have handled the situation there if I hadn't broken up those two German attacks—that I alone turned the tide of battle there. That was & proud moment for me.” Didn’t Care What Happened.

Heartily supporting adequate nation- al defense, Col. John T. n, former chief of chaplains, U. 8. .., warned today in services at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier against “young Amer- ica becoming military minded.” “The millions of men in America who have worn the uniform and those who now wear itf” he said, “have a sacred responsibility in this respect.” Col. Axton spoke at services conduct- ed this morning in part as repetition of the services held 11 years ago. Both Col. Axton and Rabbi S.

Axton intoned the prayer and memorabilia. Staff Sergt. Frank Witchey, U. S. A, sounded taps and a wreath was placed upon the Un- known Soldier’s Tomb. Speaking briefly Col. Axton declared it well that the Unknown Soldier and his fellow dead are honored today, for “if we forget them, if we cease to feel their greatness or their glory, we are no longer worthy of the sacrifices they oads Armistice day, the chaplain declared, has a broader and deeper significance than that which could be attached to & “Memorial day,” because it was the day on which hostilities ceased and peace “was in the offing.” Sees Progress Toward Amity. “Since the close of the war,” he con- tinued, “progress toward comity among nations, a better understanding among men, the abolition of war has been dis- tressingly slow. until within a twelve- month. In the past year history has been written in two outstanding events, the signing of the multilateral or Kel- logg treaty and the good will mission of Sir Ramsay Macdonald to this coun- try.” Continuing, he said: . “So long as the United States must deal with other nations, which nations respect in us nothing quite so much as they respect our capacity to take care of ourselves, we must not fail to main- tain an Id&l:fie dl!pldly of our fl;fllty to t ives and property of our cltmc by means of thoroughly well considered plans for national defense.
