Gently made by you asserting that mis-
chievous propaganda had been circu-

Tor the purpose OF embarrassing the

IF there shall arise any circum-

than those now existing. President
Wilson and Premier Lloyd George will
send the proposal and the reasons Of

ALLENTOWN HERO WILL
LEAVE ARMY SERVICE
Cassed in French Trenches,
Leibig Was Sent to Meade
Hospital
Camp Meade, Md, Aug. -.


A Pennsylvania boy who went into the
thick Of things over here and who be-
came a victim Of German atrocities Is
going TO leave the army. He has given
that army eight years of faithful serv-
ice. This soldier is Elmer Leibig. Of
Allentown, Pa. Leibig was gassed in
France last winter when he was doing
duty near the front-line trenches as a
member Of the Fiftieth Engineers. He
spent some time at base hospital in
France, where it was found that his
heart had been so affected that he prob
ably would be of little use again for
foreign service. He was sent back to
this country and assigned to duty at the
base hospital here at Meade He has
been unable to dc any strenuous work.
Leibig has been notified that he is to be
honorably discharged from the army In
a few DAYS on account Of physical dis
Allentown are preparing a warm well
come home.
Leibig Joined the regular army six
years ago. a few days after his nine
lean border and in other places. He was
transferred from the infantry branch Of
the service to the engineering branch
last winter and was shortly afterward
sent across He had not been there
long when the gas attack which laid him
low was directed against him and his
compa mons.
No wedding march was played when
Private Edgar NJ. Brown. Of Bethlehem.
Pa. and Miss Dorothy F. Snyder. Of the
same town, were married mere this
morning. Brown couldn't have kept step
to the wedding march if there had been
one. Instead of walking to the altar he
hobbled there on a crutch. and instead
of having a bridegroom's suit he was
clothed in hospital raiment.
The ceremony took place in the chap
lain's rooms at the base hospital at
which Brown has been patient for
some months. and was performed by the
Rev James NJ. Magruder. the hospital
chaplain.
Brown was to have been married
short time ago before the departure of
the Seventy-ninth Division, with which
he had hoped to go overseas. A few
DAYS before the time set for the de-
parture of that division Brown was
knocked down by motorcycle sidecar
and his right ankle fractured.
The nurses and doctors had chance
to congratulate two others on their
marriage. these two being members of
the base hospital colony. They We're
