an nour BY his objection to consider
alton OF bills on the calendar and was
scored by representative Dewalt, OF
Pennsylvania, for his obstructionist
tactics.
Blanton wanted a claims bill re-
duced by S64 and, because the COM

the Texas congressman objected to %
bills on the calendar. one after the
other. Thereupon representative De-
walt arose and severely criticised

sued during this session IN insisting

tactics that have greatly delayed the

Texas that he end his ceaseless OBJ
ieCtions. as the members here have
more important business than MS
personal spleen and personal desires,
said Dewalt. This applies 10 all
members Of this body. We have been
cautioned by the leaders on both sides
that there is much work TO be done.
but here we find 46 bills set aside
with paltry objections without reason
because this member objects 10 the

EDWARD WICK
RETURNS HOME

Edward Wick greeted his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Elias Wick, by walking
into their home Wednesday morning
after year overseas.
Mr.. Wick enlisted in December,
1917, with the 9TH Sapper Regiment Of
Engineers of the 5th Division con-
sisting of regulars. The Engineers
landed in France in February and had
their first fighting in March with the
64th Regiment of the French army at
Lavein where Mr.. Wick received a
shrapnel wound and after three weeks
in the hospital returned to his COM
pany carrying as pocket piece, a
piece of shrapnel which was taken
out of his shoulder. The 7th Sapper
Engineers joined the remainder Of
their division which came over in
June and went into the battle at
Frayppelle in July at St. Mihiel in
September and later took part in the
Argonne battle and the battle Meuse
where the engineers Of the 5th divis-
ion built a bridge across the Meuse
river, which was shot down by the
Germans while under construction.
While advancing towards Sedan on
the 25th of October the cencussion
from shell blew Mr.. Wick's mask
off and before he vase able to put it
on again was gassed and laid uncon.
scions on the battle field for two days
before taken to a hospital where he
gained consciousness on the third day
but was speechless and has not vet
fully regained his voice. At the time
Mr.. Wick was gassed only six Of the
ESQ original men of his company were
alive and less than 5000 of the origi-
nal25, 900 of the 5th division has been
accounted for. The severity of their
fighting can better be told in the fol-
lowing clipping from a Paris paper.
"tThen consider the troops that had to
fight their way across the Meuse and
the Canal de Pest above Brieulles, the
men of the 9Th division who set up
their bridges under shell fire and, ac-
tually pelted by hand grenades, walk
ed, waded, swan, clustered their way
to the heights on the other side, nor
stopped there but pushed on by fight
ing none too easy advance of Is Kill
ometers. If the line held by the First
American Army hinge of the western
front is to be called the post of honor,
what shall be said Of the hinge Of the
hinge?"
Mr.. Wick, like other overseas men
dislikes to talk about his experience
and it has been hard for the reported
to get the above information out of
him. Even his mother never knew
that he had taken part in any fighting
until he showed her his discharge pa
pers which cites all the battles that he
has taken part in. When asked how
he liked the war he only stated that
he was trying to forget it. It is need
less to state that Mr.. and Mrs. Elias
Wick are happy to see Edward back.
They also have two other sons in the
service who did not succeed in getting
overseas. The fourth and youngest
son was ready to leave Camp Fair
mount, California, on the day the
armistice terms were signed. Elias
Wick himself was then working in the
shipyards at Tacoma.

MUNICIPAL CONCERT
A GREAT SUCCESS

Sunday afternoon the municipal or
chestra, under the direction Of Dean
Froysaa, gave it's second concert Of
the season. The orchestra was assist
ed by Theodore Finney, violinist, and
the .Normalonians. The usual prefa-
tory community singing was entered
into with enthusiasm by the audience.
The orchestra played three numbers,
one of them double number. Theo-
dore Finney, one Of the towns most
promising young violinists played a
concerto by Setz and acquitted him
self in brilliant style.
Yesterday marked the first appear
ance of the year of the Normalonians.
The young women's glee club got into
training late this year but the rendi-
tion Of their three selections brought
them hearty applause. Their per-
formance of Swallows to Southwark,
Chorus from Carmen, and Pm Look
ing for Husband, augurs we'll for
future appearances.
Of the orchestra numbers, perhaps
the Souvenir de Venice and Connecti-
cut caught the audiences best mood.
