WRITERS SOLDIERS LIKE

What sort of books do the wounded
soldiers in hospital and men in camps
awaiting rehabilitation most desire?
According to the Liberty War Sery-
ice CT the American Library Associa-
ton the immediate pressing need is
for light current fiction, the mems
minds turning quite distinctly just
now to recreational reading.
A recent list of books particularly
wanted includes such writers as Rex
Beach, B. NJ. Bower, Edgar Rice Bur
roughs, Zane Grey, Henry Herbert
Knipps, o. Henry, Peter B. Kyne, E.
Phillips Oppenheim Mary Roberts
Reinhart, Bertrand w. Sinclair, Booth
Harrington, Stewart Edward White
Harry Leon Wilson and Harold Bell
Wright.
1t is evident from this list that what
the soldiers are lokking for is stories
of action. The one characteristic these
writers have in common is their dra-
matte ability. Books by any of these
writer's are especially welcomed as
gifts for men in service and can be
sent to any public library with the
assurance that they will promptly be
forwarded

THE UNTRIED

0 dear little untried New Year,
Your hopes are high and fresh and
sweet,
The old has taken our lover and sons
so dear,
Some of them you send us again to
greet
But your young heart mourns for
those who lie
In foreign lands. But it's for liberty
they die.
And truth and right, not might;
But your spring will cover them soon
with grass and flowers rare,
And dear tender New Year, bring
brings the world eternal peace
And give Gods consolation to hearts
with sorrow to bear-EXchange

he would tell his countrymen what

Rehabilitation
Of Disabled Yanks

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Unitec
soldiers, sailors and marines who are
injured in the service of their coun-
try are receiving special considera.
tion at the hands of the United States
Civil Service commission and the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Education
working in cooperation.
When the Civil Service commits
sion receives an application for ex-
animation from a discharged Yank,
whose physical condition is such that
he would not ordinarily be accepted,
his case is referred to the Federal
Board for Vocational Education. The
Federal Board turns the matter over
to a field officer, who promptly goes
out after the man and offers him
the services of the Boards organi-
zation for special training to fit him
for the work for which he has ap-
piled, or for some other employment
if it does not seem practicable to train
him for the work for which he made
application to the Civil Service COM
mission. Hundreds of such cases
have been referred to the Federal
Board by the Civil Service commits
sion.
Under recent amendment of the
Civil Service rules, made on the rec
ommendation of the Civil Service
commission, the commission may
waive the established physical re-
quirements in favor OF a disabled and
honorably discharged soldier, sailor
or marine, upon the certifcation of
the Federal Board for Vocational Ed
ucation that he has been specially
trained for and has passed a prac-
tical test demonstrating his physical
ability to perform the duties of the
class of positions in which employ
merit is sought.

British Papers
Denounce Plan
To Try Kaiser
, In England

LONDON, July Predictions
that the project to bring the former
German emperor to trial in England
will be abandoned are growing in
view Of the almost unanimous oppo-
Sition of the newspapers Of all par
ties. Virtually all the leading papers,
with the exception of the Northcliffe
Press, are denouncing the plan.
The Northcliffe papers have taken
no stand in the matter, but print
many letters from prominent persons
opposing the trial. The influential
weekly reviews oppose or deride the
project of bringing the former en-
peror from Holland.
Walter Ruciman, former member
of the cabinet, writes:
Feeling in this country is justi-
tiably bitter against the kaiser. In
deed, it is SO bitter that the public
may take the laws in their own hands
and lynch him."
The Saturday Review says:
ut is a mistake of taste, a want
of tact. London is the last place in
the world that ought to have been
chosen, first because the English are
the chief enemies of the Germans.
according to the Germans; secondly,
because London is the court Of Will
lam of HoLcnzollern's cousin and the
home Of his illust~ious grandmother;
third, because William has often been
aour guest. King George and the en-
peror must in their younger days
have lived IN some Intimacy"
The NeW,Statesmjgpl, says, ''.'
Let us hope that the Dutch gov
ernment will cut the knot for us and
save us from the blunder of rein
stating the last of the Hohenzollerns
in the years Of his disillusioned coun-
trymen." s,,,

Huge Crops Shown
By July Forecast

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Bounti-
full farm crops this year were indi-
Gated yesterday in the Department of
Agriculture's July forecasts based on
conditions existing the first of the
month. Winter wheat and rye, now
being harvested, showed the largest
: production ever attained. Record
crops of sweet potatoes, tobacco and
rice also were predicted and the pro-
duction, of spring wheat, corn, oats,
barley, white potatoes and hay is ex-
pccted to be larger than the average
FOR the five years 1871
/ Value of the wheat, corn and oats
crops combined amounts to SS,34O,-

The value of corn is $4,768, ,475, 900 !;
wheat, $2,577420,OO0, and oats,
94,727O00.
Plant diseases and other conditions,
however, made heavy inroads during
June on prospective wheat and oats
production. The forecast shows a
loss of 75,000,0OO bushels of wheat
since the June estimate and a reduc
tion of 43,000,000 bushels in the pros
pective oats crop. High temperatures
caused deterioration in winter wheat
IN some sections, while plant diseases
Increased in central districts. The
heat also affected spring wheat in
some parts of the belt where black
rust has appeared.
The area planted to corn, white
potatoes, flax and rice is smaller than
last year, while the acreage of sweet
potatoes and tobacco is larger.

CARTER COUNTY MAN
4 AND WIFE FOUND DEAD

BRISTOL Tenn, July 12.-Mrs
Lucy shell, bride of five weeks, was
shot and killed early yesterday morn.
ling by her husband, Walter Shell, re.
turned overseas soldier who commit.
ted suicide after performing the act
at their apartments in Elizabethton
Tenn, according to reports reaching
Bristol yesterday. Jealousy is
thought to have been the cause OF
Shells act, but it is stated by physi-
clans that traces of temporary in
asnity are in evidence. The two
bodies were not discovered until
about six o'clock yesterday, when S,
A. Williams, who owned the house in
which they were living, discovered
the lack of action in the rooms
which were above his home.
Married Five Weeks Ago.
Young Shell and his wife. are
thought to be between the ages of 10
! and % years. They were married at
Elizabethton about five weeks ago,
and had been seemingly very content
ed until week or so ago, when the
young wife complained to neigh
Dor that her husband had been re-
naming out late in the evenings.
Shell was member of the 117th In
fantry, 30th Division, and partici-
pated in the activities of his division
lin France. He is said to have been
wounded in action, and is reported
to have made good record.
At the inquest over the two bodies
yesterday, it is announced that evi4
dence showed Shell had returned to
his home about IL o'clock Thursday
night. Upon parting from an ac-
quaintance, Earl Ferry, he stated.
"You will never see me again" After
this, it is thought that he and his
wife engaged in a quarrel, which re-
suited in fight, as his face showed
scratches and the bed was torn up.
Previous to this, it is thought that
Mrs Shell made a pallet on the floor
in one corner of the room and had
laid down there. .....
The Probable Cause.
This, according to the theory pre-
sented by physicians who were men,
bers of the inquest, probably was the
cause of the first disagreement. Dur
ing the fight, young Shell is supposed
to have choked his wife unconscious
and then deliberately shot her
through the head. The bullet went
through her brain and lodged in a
timber underneath the floor. He is
thought to have Strengthened her out
and laid her on the pallet on the
pallet in the corner of the room. A
sheet was drawn up over her in or.
derly manner,
