MEN IN THE “TANKS"
LONDON, Nov. 18.—Conspicuous
in a list of war honors containing
over twelve hundred names published
in the London Gazette arc the awards
of the Military Cross to men in the
Tanks and to chaplains for tending
the wounded.
An airman, 2nd Lieutenant S. E.
Cowan, is the first officer to win two j
bars to his Military Cross. He won |
his Cross on May 111 of this year, and
the liist bar was dated October 20.
His second bar is for a fight with
seven enemy machines, one of which
he brought down in flames.
Of 2nd Lt. John Allan it is stated
that “he manoeuvred his Tank with
great skill under heavy shell fire
over difficult and unknown ground
and brought it into a good position
for enfilading the enemy’s trenches,
which he succeeded in doing with
good effect.
2nd Lt. Francis J. Arnold “com
manded his Tank with great courage
and determination. Later, the Tank,
being held up, he and his crew con
tinued to fight with their revolvers.”
2nd. Lt. Edward C. K. Colie “fought
his Tank with great gallantry, reach
ing the third objective. Later, on
several occasions he went to the as
sistance of the infantry, and finally
brought his Tank safely out of ac
tion.” 2nd. Lt. Arthur H. Blowers
“on several occasions assisted the in
fantry and enabled them to advance.”
The Tank of Lt. Frederick A.
Robinson got ditched, and “he and his
crew dug for fourteen hours under
heavy fire, eventually getting the
Tank out and back to the assembly
point.” 2nd Lt William H. Samp
son “enfiladed an enemy trench and
captured fifteen prisoners.” 2nd Lt.
Erie L. Purdy “fought his Tank for
live and a half hours with great gal
lantry, beating olT continued enemy
bombing attacks.”
Lt. Arthur E. Arnold “went to the
assistance of another Tank. He also
rescued a wounded man, and, al
though himself wounded, brought his
Tank safely out of action.” 2nd. Lt.
Herbert G. F. Brown “fought his
Tank, which was disabled, with great
gallantry, reaching his third objec
tive. He put two machine guns out
of action.” 2nd Lt. Leonard C. Bond,
in his Tank “put a machine gun out
of action and captured the team.”—

HOW VALDEZ ROASTS US
People who are prone to cavil at
corporations and pine for government
ownership of public utilities should be
forced* to live in Anchorage or Sew
ard. Anchorage recently installed an
electric light plant under government
supervision for which 15 cents per
kilowatt is charged for light services.
Valdez secures better service for half
that price. Seward collects two dol
lars per ton wharfage against $1.60
per ton in Valdez. Railroad rates on
the ice-bound government road are
higher than any on the North Ameri
can continent for both freight and
passengers. We believe Uncle Sam
: is a good old boss, but he cannot com
pete with private corporations and
deliver the goods— Prospector.
