Neighbors Watch Theft of Garage Here in Daylight Trio Dismantle Struc- ture, Load It on Truck and Depart. . While unsuspecting neighbors looked on, a garage in the rear of 1214 North Capitol street was stolen in broad daylight yesterday, it was discovered today after Al Perruso reported the theft. Perruso, who lives at 805 North Capitol street, was busy in his barber shop on the first floor of his home while a white man and two colored men drove up in a truck behind the house at 1214, which has been vacant since last week. Neighbors, who noticed the men dismantle the garage, a wooden frame structure covered with cor- rugated iron, load it on the truck and drive away, thought nothing more of it. Perruso did not discover his loss until last night, when he reported the theft to police. The garage was empty.

MPALEXANDER IS TAKEN BY DEATH “Rock of the Marne,” Who Blockec Germans, Suc- cumbs in Oregon. By the Associated Press. PORTLAND, Oreg., September 18.— Maj. Gen. Ulysses Grant McAlexan- der, known as “The Rock of the Marne,” died here today. That was the name bestowed upon Maj. Gen. (he was then colonel) Ulysses Grant McAlexander for the gallant stand he and his men of the 38th Infantry made in the face of the final great offensive of the enemy on the western front. It was in the course of the Ger- mans’ second advance toward Paris, when the struggle became desperate in the Surmelin Valley, the men of the 38th occupying the key position. With the enemy hurling attack after attack for three days, July 15, 16 and 17, 1918, on that vital point, the po- sition of Col. McAlexander and his men began to look precarious. “I Will Hold My Lines.” Instructions from headquarters to the colonel read: “Fall back if you think best.” His positive reply was, “I will hold my lines.” At the end of the crucial battle the Germans withdrew, their power spent, and the allied counter - offensive against Soissons began, marking the turning point of the war. When they realized the importance of the position to which they were as- signed, Col. McAlexander and all his officers and men pledged themselves to stick to their post and to either die or go to Germany as prisoners. The colonel was wounded in that battle on July 16 and suffered a seccad wound a week later in another brush with the Germans. Liggett's High Tribute. Gen. Hunter Liggett, commander of the American troops on the Western front, paid high tribute to Col. Me- Alexander and his men, saying they had performed a service that ranked among the great military deeds of all time. One of his fellow officers was credited with having been the first to dub the colonel “The Rock of the | Marne” for the determined stand he 'RESORTS. ATLANTIC CITY, N.
