upon Captain
Sheldon Bush. Tale 1917, son of Mr.
and Mrs. S. P. Bush, of Columbus, according to the Ohio State Journal of
August 8. Bush while In college here
was well and favorably known and
had many local friends. The State
Journal says:
Upon young Bush, who has been
serving In France as a member of
of Brigadier General Fleming;,
recently were conferred:
Cross of the Legion of Honor, by
the French government
Victoria Cross, by the English government.
Distinguished Service Cross, by the
American government
Possession of any one of the three
is in itself considered a notable distinction Conferring of the three
decorations upon one man at one
time Implies recognition of a deed of
rare valor and probably of great military Importance as well.
From word which has reached Co-- I

appears as if the achievements of
Captain Bush well measures up to
both these requirements.

causing the shell to glance off to the

AMERICAN TROOPS IN TOUL SAY


THERE HAS BEEN BUT OiiE FIGHT
With the American Troops in
France, June 29 (Correspondence of
The Associated Press). Though the
American troops have had three engagements in the Toul sector during
the past three months men in the
division say "there has been Just one
fight."

refer to the attack on Seicheprey, ten
days later, as "the Beichprey thing";

is the Significance given to the distinction by French officers.
. They
say that it was at Xlvray the men
holding the sector showed they had
learned how to do what must be done
In the front line.
Xlvray has a similar meaning to the
Germans in that sector If the evidence
of prisoners may be trusted. The men
captured there show Increased respect
for the fighting qualities of the
Americans and betray a deeper awe
of the American machine gun.
It is no disparagement of the work
the ordinary rifle did there to say that
decided the issue. Two

and kept the enemy from bringing up
reinforcements
throughout the fight.
Meaawfciie, in the center at Xivray

The enemy's plan, aeesrding to prisoners, was to force the village, destroy the defence works, majse the
place untenable and take prisoners.

the left and on the center under cover
of smoke, making a dark night still

They crept up the ravines
and slipped through the hollows. The
sharp ears of sentries alone prevented
a total surprise.
Their guns laid down a heavy box
barage that prevented the reinforcing
of the front line. One platoon, led by
Lieutenant Doan, from Maine got
through the first curtain of fire. Doan
even went through the second with
some volunteers, but that was all the
