BRITAIN’S YOUNGEST GENERAL CAME FROM
NEW ZEALAND; STARTED IN WAR A PRIVATE
WELLINGTON, New Zealand, June
15, (By Mail).—The meteoric military
career of B. C. Freyberg. West Sur
rey (English) Regiment, winner of the
Victoria Cross and the badge of the
Distinguished Service Order, is a sub
ject of congratulation in Wellington
where he was born and in all New Zea
land. It is summed up in official ad
vices that Lietenant Colonel Freyberg
recently was promoted to the rank of
brigadier general for services in the
field. As he is only twenty-seven years
old he is probably the youngest briga
dier general in the British imperial
forces. He is a son of the late James
Freyberg, government timber expert
in New Zealand. He was one of the
best swimmers in New Zealand. At the
beginning of the war he went to Eng
land and enlisted in the West Surrey
Regiment. Later he was in the Allied
defense of Antwerp serving with the
British marines. He was wounded and
returned to England, but he recovered
in time to take part in the initial Al
lied military and naval descent upon
the Gallipoli Peninsula. According to
an official statement he dispuayed con
spicuous gallantry on April 25 during
the landing operation in the Gulf of
Xeros, when he swam ashore towing
rafts with flares, and reconnoitred the
enemy’s position. He was in the
water more than two hours. By this
feat of daring and swimming he di
verted the attention of the lurks from
the actual place of landing. For this
he was awarded the Distinguished
Service Order badge.
At the Battle of the Ancre he was
the hero of the highly successful at
tack by the naval division. He was
awarded the Victoria Cross for per
CAPTURE DOUBLE OF
VON HINDENBURG
ON ITALIAN FRONT
ROME, July 28.—Among the pris
oners captured in the big Italian push
on the Carso front is an officer who
bears such a strong resemblance to
Field Marshal Von Hindenburg that hej
was at first taken for the latter. The
prisoner, a major of infantry, was ob
served in the collecting station by an
Italian intelligence officer, who ex
claimed:
“What! Have we captured the great (
Hindenburg?”
“No,” replied the major. “I am not
Hindenburg, nor any realtive of his. I
am merely a poor wretch who will do
no more fighting."

sonal gallantry in carrying an ntta k
through the enemy’s front system of
trenches. During the advance he was
twice wounded. He again rallied and
reformed all who were with him and
although unsupported in a very ad
vanced position he held his ground
for the remainder of the day and
throughout the night under heavy ar
tillery and machine-gun fire. When
reinforced on the following morning he
organized the attack on a strongly for
tified village, led the assault and cap
tured the village and 500 prisoners. In
this operation he was again wounded.
This enabled the advanced objective of
the corps to be permanently held, and
on this point of approach the line was
eventually formed.
When in New Zealand Brigadier
(General Freyberg was known among
his intimates by the nickname “Tiny.”

rSUNDAY’S ]
; SERMONS i
“Loves Standard” was the subject at
the Methodist church Sunday morning.
Kev. Patton during the course of his
j sermon said in part:
“Love is the most prominent theme
in the Bible. The scriptures are large
ly made up of a description of God and
his acts, hence as “God is love,” love
becomes our most prominent theme.
God's love caused him to give his only
begotten Son for the redemption of the
world. However, the scriptures tell
us of love that is not God or of God.
For instance, Paul tells us that the
love of money is the root of all evil.
This kind of love caused Judas to sell
Christ, it ruined Benedict Arnold and
caused the millionaire Elwes to pre
tend to be a pauper that he might beg
on the streets of London. Jesus tells
us in Matthew 23:5-8 of those who love
display and praise; in Luke 11:43,44
Christ pronounces woe upon those
whose pride causes them to love to be
in the most conspicuous seats. Thus
godly love makes a man a blessing to
both himself and others. On the other
