RATHER TALK OF
 PEACE THAN WAR
Lieut.. Heating Back in Of Fought With T. R.
 Jr. in France.

Seated in the same chair he occu- pied in the Security building on Main street, before the call to arms sent him to the Officers Training School at PIattsburg, where he was awarded a. commission of first lieu tenant Attorney Vincent L. Heating, son of City Auditor Bernard J. Keat- ing, just back from 15 months fight ing with the American army in France, smiled this morning and said: I'd rather talk about the glory of ptaCe than the glory of war" when a reporter said, Tell us all about it''
 Looking hale and hearty, bronzed from the outdoor life, and with every taut muscle showing through his civil ian attire, Lieut. Heating did not have the appearance of a man who had gone through the gruelIing defensive warfare that fell to the lot of the First Division, on the PiCarly and Tou1 sectors. For he was a member of the 26th Infantry.and Major Cnow Lieut. Cob Theodore Roosevelt, Jr-, fell wounded while leading the first bat talfon of this unit. Lieut.. Heating served in Co. L, and was wounded in the fighting in front of Cantigny, after which he spent several months in a. hospital, having lost the use of his left hand. The surgical skill of the Amer ican doctors, have now restored him to practically perfect health.
 In speaking of his experience Lieut.. Heating said:
 When I first arrived in France I was sent to a training school where, under the eyes of French and British officers we worked hard for some weeks. The school was at Chatio- oen, and had no sanitary improve ments. The life and training at this place was worse than actual bat tie.
 T was finally assigned to the 26th Infantry of the First Division, and we were sent to the Foul front. Con- ditions here were very bad. We had to wear hip boots continually. and pull one foot out of the mud and then make an effort to get the other out.
 After two weeks on this front we were sent to aid the British in re- puIsing the Huns in their great of fensfve of March, 1918. The British had been retreating for sometime, un- til they had reached Nontdiddier and we were put in the supporting trenches.
