HARRY WAHE is
HOME WOUNDED
Moline Soldier Returns to City
Wearing Stripes of Foreign Ser
vice and Injury.

Harry Wahe, SIS Sixteenth ave-
rue, Moline, has returned to his
home in this city wearing upon his
sleeve the stripes signifying foreign
service and injury in service, hav-
ing been given an honorable dis
charge from the United States
army. He was a member of the old
company F of Moline, which was
later consolidated with the One
Hundred and Forty-fourth infantry
and was for some time during the
summer of 1916 stationed at the
Rock Island arsenal Still later
Company F was transferred to
Houston, Tex, for 10 months. The
same company reached French soil
July II, 1918, and without receiV-
ing any further training overseas,
joined in the movements towards
the front.
After nine days of waiting the
Moliners were introduced to the
boches by means of shrapnel and
high explosives. During Wahe's
stay upon this part of the battle
front, which was near little town
known as st. Quota, and also near
scissors, he took part in seven
skirmishes. In the last encounter
with the Hun, Wahe incurred d
wound in his right shoulder from a
piece of shrapnel. After treatment
in base hospitals in France, he
came to America. At first it was
thought that he would lose per-
manent use of his right arm. but
through the efficient aid of Ameri-
can doctors, he will soon be COM
pletely recovered.
Wahe, in an interview with a re-
porter. says the war as it is now
fought is not as much a matter of
killing men as it is of destroying
enemy positions The machine gun,
he says, is the most deadly piece
of fighting machinery ever invent
ed.
Previous to his enlistment. the
wounded soldier was employed at
