ny HERBERT COREY.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, January 21-This story is
about censors and socks and motor
cars and other related army matters,
but it is mostly about Private Archi-
bald Jones of Ossawatomie county,
Kan. 1t is an attempt to get Private
Jones point of view over to the Great
Minds in Washington. II is not an
effort to produce an argument for the
breaking down of the censorship. 1t is
merely a statement that Private Archi-
bald Jones is being made neediessiy
sour.
''why can't you newspaper men let
the folks at home know how we are
getting along over here and who we
are that are getting a1ong?" asked Pri-
vate Jones. whats the matter with
printing few names?"
Private Jones' father fought in the
Spanish war and his grandfather fought
in the civil war. and back in the dawn
of history Jones fought in the war OF

GUARD HURLS OUT BOMB
AND SAVES MACHINERY

NEwBURGH. n z. February 2s.-An
attempt to blow up machinery in tho
plant Of the Newburgh Shipyards Com
pany yesterday was frustrated. but
only after a guard had picked up a
bomb and hurled It out OF danger. It
exploded and did some damage, but not
enough to delay work at the plant
The bomb was placed under COM
pressor machine in ono Of the buildings
by q stranger who escaped after beat
ing the guard. William Hogan. who dis
covered him near the machine. and de-
manded his workman's badge. The man
was bending over, and, suddenly
Strengthening up, struck the guard over
the head with a club.
Hogan was dazed. but on recovering
from the blow started his search. which
resulted in discovering a suspicious
looking object under the machine. He
hurled 1t as far as he could. and the
bomb exploded when it struck, tearing
up the floor and breaking about thirty
windows.
The attempt to damage the machinery
evidently was intended to delay construc-
tion work on ships for the Emergency
Fleet Corporation. which is about to be-
gin.

WILES OF PSYCIONECROTIC

Are you a psyohoneurotic?

Are you psychoneurotic?
If you are q registrant classified in
class 1 and are a psychoneuratic, the
medical men who made your physical
examination will be watching out for
you.
Do not be alarmed-the world Is
full of psychoneurotics.
According to the manual of instruc-
tions sent out by the provost marshal
generals office to medical advisory
boards a psychoneurotic is "a natural
and tries to get out of
every disagreeable thing in life"
In lengthy instructions as to the de-
lection Of malingerers, the War Depart
ment tells the boards to watch out for
three classes of that breed.
a. Real malingerers with nothing the
matter with them. who injure them
selves, or who make allegations re-
specting diseases or such conditions as
drug taking, or who counterfeit dis
ease with full consciousness and re-
sI.onsibility; all for the purpose of
ev:ding military service. Many Of these
have been coached. A small, but inn

The wiles of the malingerer are many.
according to the instructions to the
medical boards.
Men shoot or cut off their fingers or
toes practically always on the right
side to get disqualified from service.
Sometimes they put their hands under
cars for this purpose. Many men have

THE HAGUE, Holland. February L.
The Belgian refugees interned in Hol-
land have long been contemplating how
best to give expression to their graft
tude for the hospitality shown them in
Holland and finally decided to have a
monument erected that would give evil
dence of their stay in this country to
future generations. The high hill over
looking Amersfoort was selected as the
best situation for this monument, which
was erected there according to the de-
signs and under the supervision of the
Belgian sculptor and architect, Hub

structures enriched with reliefs in me-
tallic concrete and surrounded by a
