LONDON, May PA direct hit by
a heavy shell or Zeppelin bomb may
someday finish Brigadier-General
Adrian Carton de Wiart but smaller
missiles seem unequal to the job.
Wounded nine times during his mill
tary career, General de Wharf has be-
come a human Verdun. He is pretty
badly Clipped but the citadel still
holds.
The generals latest wound was a
shrapnel blow which took a chunk out
of one ear. Medical treatment in the
field staunched the flow of blood. his
head was bandaged and he remained
in the field
The habit of getting wounded seized
General de Wharf in the South African
war He was hit twice during that
campaign.
1t was in Samoliland that he re-
ceived his next wound. This time he
lost an eye, but continued to serve as
Captain in the army.
Commanding a force in Flanders in
the early days of the great war, the
general had his left arm shot off. That
laid him up for a while but he came
| back and was wounded next as COM
mander OF a Glousetershire corps at
La BOiselle.
Then there followed three more
| WOunuluBS occurring at various points
on the western front
General de Wiart is a Belgian, q
brother Of the Belgian foreign minis
ter. But he was educated at an Eng
lish college and has been in the Brit
ish army for many years. His friends
say he is a calm, quiet man, of cheer
full disposition but not apt to laugh
over a near-joke For his conduct in
the Sanoliland campaign he was made
a member of the Distinguished Ser
vice Order He received the Victoria
Cross in the present war.
Here is what the official account
said when he was awarded the V. c.:
1T was owing in a great measure
to his dauntless courage and inspiring
example that a serious reverse was
averted. After three other battalion
commanders had become casualties
he controlled their commands and en-
sured that the ground won was main
tanned at all costs. He passed un-
flinchingly through barrage fire oi

The government has issued a letter
asking the cooperation of the press
in the sale of liberty loan bonds. The
appeal reads in part as follows:
The spirit of patriotic helpfulness
is universal in the American press
From all over the country have come
offers of cooperation from the news
papers in the selling lof the war
bonds-the liberty loan of 1917.
The government desires not only
that the five billion dollars of bonds
be sold promptly but that these bonds
be as widely distributed among the
American people as is possible. To
that end it is hoped that all news
papers of the country, the small coun-
try weekly as well as the great metro
pOlitan daily, will work together in
a great campaign, giving the common
cause the impetus and force of a ma
tion-wide concerted action and cor
related effort.
To aid in this national concert OF
action this bureaui will send each
week to every newspaper in the
United States press matter dealing
with the liberty loan of 1917, prepared
with a view of thoroughly informing
every citizen of the nature, terms, and

The Sheriff is especially anxious to
have every good citizen constitute

of speed and last year while handl-
ing the pitching for several Califor-
MIA clubs, he won &c games and lost
only two, no mean showing for even
the bush-leaguers.

ANOTHER REGIMENT IS
EXPECTED FROM IDAHO
Much Shortage In Field Artillery At
The Present Time In The Forces Of
United States.

WASHINGTON IL Organization of
scores of new regiments of national
guard, artillery, engineers, signal
troops and cavalry will be undertaken
soon to supply the tactical formations
necessary for the establishment of the
16 divisions of the guard provided
for in the war departments plans.
The first effort of the department
is TO bring up to full war strength all
existing units of the guard. When
that has been accomplished and the
force has been drafted, the next step
will be to create the new units neces-
airy to complete the sixteen infantry
divisions and the adjutants general of
the states have been instructed that
they should prepare for these new
organization without delay.
In addition, Immediately after the
existing state soldiers have been draft
ed into the federal service, there must
be organized divisional headquarters
detachments, supply, ammunitions,
and medical trains, heavy field ar
tiiiery and signal batallions, an aero
service, two cavalry divisions and
many new coast artillery units and
reserves.
Comparison of the organization
| tables for the sixteen infantry di-
visions with the existing guard estab-
! lishment shows that in the infantry,
the arm of the service, in which the
guard is strongest, 80 regiments and
six companies must be created to pro-
vide the 144 regiments of the divi-
sional structure.
The principal shortage is in field
artillery. Each of the sixteen divis-
ions requires three full regiments of
six batteries each or a total of 2SS
batteries There now exists in the
guard los batteries.
The shortage in engineers is almost
as great. There will be needed six
teen regiments or a total of SO COM
Ipanies, whereas there now are only
so companies.
Each division also will have an aero
squadron or battalion company, max
ing sixteen air service units. New
lfYork has one aero squadron less one
company.
