HE HAS 100 BULLET SCARS
Soldier Coming Back Minus a Hand
and With Many Wounds.

With his right hand shot away and
more than a hundred bullet scars on
his body, Dominick Ciamacco, ar Ital-
ian of Dunbar, Pa, a member of Com
pany K, Three Hundred and Twenty
fifth infantry, has been invaded
home. He was wounded the night of
July 6 while leading a scouting patrol
over No Mans Land. German out
posts discovered the scouting party.
and in the glare of flares the party
made good targets for the enemy ma
chine gunners. All of the party with
the exception of Ciamacco were killed.
Ciamacco, as the attending physician
recorded him, was "shot full of holes"
He was barely alive when picked up,
almost every portion of his body hav-
ing been struck by machine-gun bull
let's. His right arm was so badly
shattered that a%mputation of the hand
was necessary. Virtually all the flesh
was shot from his right leg, and only
a delicate skin-grafting operation
saved it. For several days he fingered
between life and death, but finally he
gained sufficient strength to permit
his being sent home.

USE OF PARAVANES
SAVES MANY LIVES
British Invention Which Picked
Up Mines Ahead of the
Vessels.

Hundreds of American ~bluejackets
undoubtedly were saved from death
because the American warships, while
proceeding through the mine-strewn
seas, were equipped with ~parayanes,
through courtesy of the British admi-
rally.
Fitted with %paravanes, the warships
fished out any mines ahead of the
vessels. Novices often mistook the ap-
paratus for torpedoes. The thing made
a humming sound when adjusted to a
speeding ship, owing to friction.
The paravane consists of a water
plane shaped like a torpedo, having
a pair of large fiat fins projecting on
either side of its body. The tail is
fitted with rudders to keep the thing
at any set depth. 1t is towed over
side by a wire rope which runs from
the ships bows outward. The wire
rope is intended to pick up the moor
ing ropes of mines and slide them
along till they reach the nose of the
~paravanes, where a sharp saw is fixed
inside a V-shaped slot. The saw cuts
through the mooring rope and allows
the mine to float free, where 1t can be
either avoideS or destroyed.
Due to the cable and fin range
ment the twin paravanes kept diagon-
ally ahead of the vessel. Naval men
say the invention did more than any
other single device to defeat Ger
many's policy of attrition.

AWES MARINES WITH MOTOR
Circus Performer Acting as lnstruc-
tor Makes Tricks Look Simple.

~ "dRCS iiSNo GOON StbiRlCs
Many a marine rookie has stripped
his gears trying to do setting up" ex-
ercises under an instructor who was
formerly a professional cOntortionist.
Sergeant Joe Nader, who is instruc-
tor and motor vehicle expert of the
Third company of the signal battalion
of marines at Philadelphia, was out
on the parade grounds recently giving
a raw class a few tips on how to ride
a motorcycle. For a while he content
ed himself with riding across the area
with his machine listing at an angle
of so degrees. Then he raised the
front wheel off the ground and rode
that way. Turning his machine with
an a%cuteness that skidded him all the
way around he started on the return
trip. AS he approached the awe
stricken class he stood up on the seal
Of the motorcycle and. waving his
arms in the semaphore code, signaled,
"That's all there is to it."
But later they found out that he
used to ride around the walls Of a
tank in a circus sideshow.

BIRDS STEAL RIDES
Too Lazy to Fly, They Are Taking the
Places of Tramps.

Birds are fast taking the place OF
hOboes or the brakebeams of trains,
according to John E. Sexton, president
of the Eureka-Nevada Railroad com
pany of Palisade, Neg.
Sexton says birds. especially spar
rows and linnets, are extremely lazy
this year, and instead of flying from
the East to the West, are riding the
brakebeams.
Citing ar instance, Sexton said that
about 300 birds riding on a Southern
Pacific train passing through Nevada
from the East recently, flew from be-
meath their perches on the coach when
the train passed over a rough cross
ing.

Pending an investigation by the
Austrian parliament of the disposition
of the imperial funds, the position of
former Emperor Charles and the
erstwhile imperial family continues to
be a painful one, though not danger
Gus unless the situation should lead
to disorders. In that event the family
possibly may travel to Switzerland or
elsewhere.
The socialist papers continue freely
to attack the Sormer emperor, arch
dukes and aristocracy, claiming that
the latter did not do their duty dur
ing the war. There is much critical
and frivolous gossip concerning the
former Empress Zita.
The secret file Of the old Emperor
Francis Joseph is being examined.
His fortune is variously estimated at
from 100000 to 200,000,000 crowns.
According to one report the old EN-
peror divided 100000 crowns be-
tween his two daughters, Gisela and
Valerie, and his granddaughter, the
Princess Windischgraetz. With other
large sums of the imperial funds do
pations were made to churches, pen
sions and the royal poor.
Although Charles officially is the
dispenser of these funds it is stated
that in reality they are handled by
the bank directors.
Lives in State Castle.
Ekertsau castle, where the former
emperor is now living, does not belong
to him but is property of the state,
together with other large estates and
also the famous collection of jewels
in Hofburg castle, among which is the
Florentina diamond, called the fourth
largest in the world, and also a won
derful necklace.
1t is expected that this property
will be distributed among the various
republics of the former empire when
the accounts are settled among them.
1t will be necessary also to divide
up the vast and wonderful treasures,
the masterpieces of art, paintings, an
Equities and vases centered in Vienna,
formerly crown property, or in the
state museum or other museums or
libraries. These are believed to be
worth several billions of francs.
Vienna's Glory lettering.
The disposal of these treasures is
expected to be a difficult task and to
be fraught with disaster to Vienna,
since her whole future existence is be-
lieved to depend upon her ability to
make herself a center of attraction
for visitors, tourists, artists, archi-
tects and students of music and medi-
cine, now that she no longer is a CEN
ter of commerce and politics of a
great empire which annually drew in
billions of income from such sources.
Friends of former Emperor Charles
assert that all the sins of the Haps-
burgs have been visited upon his head
and that he has been blamed for all
the grating in the army, although
the aristocrats declare that the graft
ing generals were principally those
without titles. They admitted, how
ever, there were a few exceptions in
which corrupt nobility proited by the
war. 1t is asserted by the friends of
Charles that while the old emperor
never was permitted to get in touch
with the people Charles Immediately
got rid of the "old crowd" and did his
best to introduce new men and to stop
the war.
