MARTIN OWENS. WAR
HERO FOR SHERIFF
Brooklyn Democrats May
Name Ambulance Driver.

Capt. Martin Owens. who drove the
Police Department ambulance on the
battlefront. has been selected as the
Democratic candidate for sheriff OF
Kings county, according to the latest
word in Brooklyn yesterday. Capt.
Owens Is member OF the Eighteenth
Assembly district. SO is John H. Nc
Cooey, the Democratic leader.
In the opinion of Democratic leaders
Capt. Owens would be a good man TO
have on the county ticket in the coming
campaign. particularly in view OF his
war record. He was a detective ser
gesnt when selected to drive the ambu-
lance which Vincent Aston gave to the
Honor Legion. In France he became
top sergeant. He won the Croix de
Guerre for distinguished service and re-
turned home n Captain.
1t Is probable that the Republicans will
have two soldier candidates on their
ticket this fall, Lieut. Col James c. Nc
Leer for surrogate and Col. Mortimer d.
Bryant of tho 10th Infantry for county
clerk. The Democrats thus far have but
one soldier on their slate, Surrogate
Wingate. who returned from France a
Brigadier General. He was recently APP
pointed to office and must run this fall
for election to a full term. The selection
OF Capt Owens would give the Demo.
Gratis two war veterans. as the Repuo
leans, TO place before the public.
The selection OF Owens however will
be a setback to two Democratic leaders
Superintendent of Sewers James j
Browne of the First Assembly district
and John J. Dorman of the Sixth Assem-.
bly, district. both of whom have beer
seeking the shrievalty nomination.

to eat, beginning with soup and fried
! chicken and ending with ice cream
and coffee The tray was. arranged
on a little table and the men had the
courtesy to withdraw to the other end
of the room and consult while Hilda
ate her supper.
Such good supper! Delicacies
that she had seldom seen. and plenty
of everything. Even the war bread
was delicious. and from her long fast
