W. H. Wasson, finance commission
er, is the first city commissioner to
make public an announcement regard
ing his intentions in the coming spring
election. Wasson definitely declares
that he intends to be a candidate for
election. Wasson definitely declares
He has, nothing in particular to say
except that he stands pat on his Off
cial record.
Wasson has been actively and ag-
gressively on the job all the time and
with his business sagacity aided by his
official associates, has been able to
accomplish a great deal for the city.
During his administration he has
handled the city's finances which have
amounted to over $4,o00,000 and not
one cent of 1t has been misappropri-
ated, but has been spent with the idea
of receiving a dollars worth of service
for every dollar expended.
His budgets have been strictly lived
up to; he has handled nearly three
quarters of a million of city of Topeka
improvement bonds, selling them d.
rect to the citizens of Topeka where
he found a ready market.
Made Debtors Pay Up.
During his administration there has
been collected for the city outside of
any levy on the property the follow
ing:
First-Thirty thousand dollars from
Shawnee county on account of penal
ties on delinquent taxes, some of
which was due as far back as fifteen
years, most of which has been paid
into the city treasurer; balance in a
judgment drawing per cent interest.
Second-Collected S32,S63.79 from
the Edison company on it's franchise
from the city, most of which has been
paid in cash; balance in notes drawing
per cent interest. Up to the time
Wasson became commissioner of
finance the company had paid on it's
franchise-all told-less than $1,000.
There is now another years report due
and he hopes to make another collec-
ton in a short time of a few thou
sands more.
Third-Received from United States

AT CROSS ROADS
Don LOngenecker Writes of the
Walking Wounded.
Looking for Some Familiar
Face Among Casuals.
HE DESERTED" TO FIGHT
Sergeant Thorne, A. w. D. L.,
To Go Out With Infantry.
TOpekan Sends Home a COOtie
as a Souvenir.

Watching from a crossroads corner
eagerly scanning the faces of the end
less returning stream of the walking
wounded" looking for some one he
knew, from Pvt. Donald D. Longen-
ecker, of Topeka, now with the 130th
field artillery. comes a picture of
poignant vividness of the tragedy of
the Argonne.
''You should have been where 1 was
"a road winding over the hill from
the front filled with men all day long"
he writes. "Eeach man wore tag a
little white tag. There were not
enough ambulances to get all of them,
so they had to walk. They came by
our gun positions. Part of the time I
was at the guns, for boy, 1 was can
noneer at the Argonne, if 1 never see
the back of my neck. but when my
squad was not on duty l was at the
cross roads looking for some one I
knew.
..I once read a story about the walk
ing wounded. Now l know what 1t
meant. A person who could stand
there and keep the tears back would
be .inhumane- Some with machine
gun wounds in their legs, with hasty
first aid dressings, with the blood
matted and caked on their hands,
laughing, Others glum, some with far
away look in their eyes. But for the
most part a silent, grim procession. 7
y For four days and nights they
streamed back from the front. / be-
gan to wonder if there was anybody
left in the infantry to hold the front
lines.
Didn't Notice Shells.
"Sheils would light on either side of
the road from time to time but they
did not seem to notice them. They
seemed to have charmed lives@then.
But mark my word, you will not hear
the wild tales from those doughboys
that will come from Tome who never
saw any action"
There comes a word also of Ser
geant Thorne, the well known and
popular "top-cutter" of the supply
company which camped at Ripley
park here in Topeka before they went
to Doniphan.
1t was at the cross roads corner.
when the casuals started back on
September 26 1 met Sergeant Thorne,' u
Lorfgenecker said. Both arms broken
and bandaged. He wore that same old
characteristic smile. Hello, Dom he
said, can't shake hands with you
but hello. anyway He must have
been suffering terribly, but no one
would ever have known it. Sergeant
Thorne transferred over there to the
10th ammunition train. The night
before September 26. he was A. w. O.
land went to the front the next
morning with the infantry. He and
three doughboys rushed two machine
gun nests-took them and started on
the third. He was the only one that
was not killed.
"Altho the only souvenir I want is
an iron cross, I am sending you a
precious trinket. Every night we hold
Wi
the paper in the corner of the page
Dead, of course, but it caused me lots
of trouble when it was alive" The
cootie was there, too.
indicative of the general desire tC
come home was the expression quoted
as current among the soldiers that
"any doughboy would be tickled to
death to lead a turtle from Verdun to
Bordeau if they would let him get on a
boat when he reached the coast"
