 The day after we. were, admitted to the hospital had a sudden attack of appendicitis, and was at once operat- ed upon. I thanked my lucky stars stars that was not still in Germany, for complications set in and second operation was necessary. Skillful medical attention and careful nursing pulled me through a critical stage. Brewster had the operation on his leg and we shared a private ward. We were the first English officers thar had ever been in that hospital and at tracted, for that reason, a considerable amount of attention. Our room was
 continually filled with flowers, and we had numerous visits from our ac- | quaintances, who showered us with, gifts. One motherly Swiss lady kept up supplied with homemade jelly. | We saw a good deal of several French officers who had come. there to have the mistakes of the German doctors rectified. One of these had a | most trying time. His thighbone' had been shattered, and after months in plaster the bone had finally knitted. Che day he was being carried down. | stairs by some German orderlies who | dropped him and broke his leg again. After several months more of agon- 1 the bone finally knitted, but in such a manner that the joint formed almost a, right angle. His les was very much i shorter and virtually useless. In the 1 hospital in Lausanne, the bone had 1 to be broken again, a pin put through
 the knee, weights were attached to it | and the poor fellow had again to en- | dure sleepless weeks of torture in an endeavor to finally overcome the re- ! suits of more than a year of careless ] treatment. >

 -.. A Meiceuss Ally.
 | While we were in Lausanne the United States declared war on Ger eysfy .a1ly.o3At last the whole Eng ll$1 -speaasfng world was fighting side bEzskde for justice and right. We C4$4dians felt that now we could shake our cousins to the south by the hand and welcome them to the great est of all undertakings and that after the war there would not be the feel | ing of reproach which we had dreaded so much. We all realized the tre- mendous power of, our new ally. and 1 hoped, from a selfish point of view l that her assistance might bring the war to a speedy close and so hasten l our return to our homes and families. + Toward the end of July one of tlR officers staying in our hotel received a telephone message from Chateau D Oex to the effect that the British and | German governments had come to tterms regarding the. repatriation of certain interned prisoners of war, and | that before long we might expect to be visited by a Swiss commission to
 select those eligible to go home. Nat l urally, this caused a great futter of
 excitement. We had been expecting
 it for some time past, as at the rail way station of Lausanne we had said
 good-by to large numbers of our
 French comrades, on their way back to their native land. About the same time as we received
 this goodAnews the university closed
 and the doctor with whom Brewster
 and I had been taking massage and mechanical treatment decided to gc
 away for a holiday. We had no ex- cuse left for staying longer in Laus-
 anne and on August [ we, together
 with several others, were recalled tc

ment, and CD that it did not arise out of the emDIoyrnent

ment, and CD that it did not arise out of the employment.
 If we were to agree with the conten- tions of~the respondents that CD when the claimant was injured he was do- Ing work which he was not engaged to perform, and CD that at the time of the injury he was in a. territory with which he had nothing to do, there would be an abundance of cases which could be cited to deny the claimant compensation. The respond ents' attorney had cited a number of than in his brief, but we cannot agree with his contentious in these respects for reasons which have been previous ly stated in this memorandum; viz that LeDuc's work was of an inter- changeable character, at one time op- aratinS a doubler machine, and at an- other time running the cards or talk Ing care of the cans.
 If we believe the claimants story, which was uncontradicted, that he was told by a fxer (who was not pro- duced, at the hearing), to put the belt on himself, we believe his scope of employment was enlarged by such Sn order, and we have cited a number of cases to suhstantiate this claim. But even if we did not accept his state ment on this particular point, and he was simply assisting this fellow em ploye on as machine which he might reasonably be expected to know some thing about, we are still supported by the cases cited above where employees were injured while assisting fellow employees, in which cases it was held that the injuries arose out of and in l the course of employment and con- i pensation was awarded.
 1 As previously stated, if we accept
 the premises laid down in the brief of
 the respondents we would unquestion- ably do nothing but deny compensation
 to the claimant, but for reasons al
 ready given we cannot agree with the
 claims of the respondents, and feel l that industry and thrift should not be penalized by denying compensation to an employe who is willing to go out l of his way and do a little more than he is really paid to do, especially when 1t is to the advantage of the employ Il CT, and where there is nothing to show lthat his own work was being neglect ed in the meantime; also in view of the fact that the respondents had knowledge that employees were in the
 habit of replacing belts themselves,
 that it was a custom in. mills in gen eral; that they had not enforced any rule to the effect that this should not l be done and that no notices had been posted in the mill to that effect.
 Commissioner Awards Compensation. I feel that it is in conformity witt
 the spirit of Worlmen's Compensation Laws to place a liberal construction . upon them, so that employees may re- ceive compensation for injuries which arise out of and in the course of en- ployment, and in the present instance
 firmly believe and have so found tha the injury to LeDuc is one which dft so arise and have accordingly award
 ed, compensation.
Norwich bulletin., 1918-01-12

would endeavor to please both sides, still it is evident that in the main it coincided with that of the claimants.
 As stated above, consider it an. error of judgment on the part of these two boys to attempt to replace the belt in the manner stated, but this is one of those errors of judgment which is con- tinually occurring in manufacturing plants of this kind, especially wrfere there is not an overseer in the imme
 diate vicinity at all times to supervise youthful employees, and it is circum- stance which will probably occur very frequently and it is just such an error of judgment on the part of employees that the workmen's compensation act was intended to compensate injured employees for. There could be no ele- ment of serious and wilful misconduct in the case before us as there was nothing in the evidence to show that the injury received by the claimant was due to any wilfulness on his part, but rather willingness on his part to do a service for fellow employe which must ultimately accrue to the advan- tage of the employer, and possibly to his own, in case he might be sent back to the same machine within a short time, and in attempting to help a fel- low employe this unfortunate accident Occurred, but if it had not occurred the company would have been the win ner by the operation. If all these things had been in existence and lived up to, and if it had been an established and enforced rule that employees should not put belts on themselves, it might be that different view of this case could be taken, and a different conclu- sion reached, ~ .
 Notices Should Be Printed.
 In the absence of any written notice to the effect-that certain rules must not be violated, it seems to me that i if we are to accept the testimony o1 the respondents that a violation o1 such a rule would be considered . gross misdemeanor, then it would cer- taiuly seem that it was deserving o. sufficient attention on the part of the l respondents to have such rules il printed form and in places where tht | employees could thoroughly understand what they are to be confronted witt 1 in case such violations occur. But il opposition to the claims and testimGn of the injured party, all we are con fronted with is the verbal testimony O a respondents witness who is p1or' or less of an interested witness fo 1 various OBVIOUS reasons, Such as re taining a position with the compan.
 Or maintaining standing with the em ployer, and it seems to be the histor, of these cases that they are perfectl,
 willing to sacrifice the interest of tn injured party so long as they cal place themselves in a more desirabl
 light before their employer and oftel
 times the facts are not adhered to a 1 strictly as they should be on accoun
 of their desires in these respects.
 Summary.
 Of course it is contended by the re
 spondents that the claimant should nc
 receive compensation, as he was 4en
 gagged (so they state) in an employ ment which was no part of his work that he was injured on machin which he was not supposed to be oper ating at that particular time, and the also claim that the injury CD di not arise in the course of the employ

Accordingly, I arrang- ed with Brewster to bring me back in a taxi to the hotel after the operation was three hours under the anesthe- tic, and was put in ward full oi Frenchmen to recover.

A castiron contract was put
through this morning by Tech and
Johnstown High, each pledging to
hold to the agreements made for u
game to decide the high school
championship of Pennsylvania on
Saturday next at the Island grounds.
So fearful appears to be each team
that the other may kick out before
the day arrives that this contract was
drawn up like Draconian law and
it will be almost impossible now for
either one to buck. E
The contract calls for a guarantee
to Johnstown of $500, or forty per
cent. of the net receipts, this mean
ing receipts after local expenses con-
nected with publicity, etc, are taken
out. Johnstown agreed to this with
out a murmur, but up to the hour
of going TO press she could not come
to any conclusion about game Off

The important thing to all clubs
concerned is that it would equalize
the chances of clubs In every league

each club would have to depend on
drafting and developing its players in
stead of buying them already made.
The benefits accruing from the
above would be much greater to the
minor leagues than to the majors The
minors would get the draft price for
a player and get him back or someone
else in his stead for nothing. The
minor leagues backs have been
broken by carrying major league
owned players and being unable to get
players when they wanted them. The
should be compelled to cut their roster
TO the players limit by the commence
ment of their season; this would al
low all clubs in lower classifications

that they need. -,
Baseball should be put on sport
basis by minor league and major

to 0uit trying to live on selling play
ers. The rankest failures in the class
AA and A leagues are the clubs that
have tried to live on peddling players.
