Soldier Breaks His Neck; :.
Lives to Tell the Story
INV Associated Press,

CAMP SHERMAN. CHILLICOTHE,
Ohio, March S-Lieutenant John A.
Logan, u S. A. of Cleveland. is one
of the few men who have sustained
broken necks and is still alive to tell
the story of how it happened. The
lieutenant is in the base hospital here
and attending surgeons say. that he
will enjoy life for many years to come
despite the broken neck.
Lieutenant Logan, an aviator, sus-
tanned the injury while on duty in
France. He went up one day over the
Vosges sector, and engaged several
German planes. A piece of shell from
one of the enemy's guns put his motor
out of commission, and the officer was
forced to volplane. He lost control,
and had the preference of diving on a
house or landing on the ground. He
chose the latter, and when he was
dragged from the wrecked machine, it
was found that he had received only
a few slight scratches. He rejoined
his squadron, being able to walk, but
that night his right side became par
alyZed. Surgeons made an examina-
ton, and it was found that Logan's
neck was broken. This was the fourth
accident in which Lieutenant figures,
for, previous to going into active serv-
ice, he was injured in three training
accidents.

Movie From Home Town
Cheers Men in C0blenz
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, March S.-The American
soldier wants, more than anything
else in the world right now, to so
home. For the 100000 or more who
still have weary weeks ahead of them
here and with the army of occupation
the next best thing is to see pictures
of their home towns.
These pictures are being shown to
them in the miles and miles of films
called Smiles" distributed to the
camps by the Community Motion Pic
ture bureau of the Young Mems Chris
tian association. Probably there are
a hundred miles of the films.
The movies are taken everywhere,
from Times Square to the Cliff House.
They show the familiar streets and
the familiar landmarks and the fami-
liar faces and then they are rushed
over here to the boys and to say that
they are welcomed is putting it mild
ly indeed
The pictures are not shown indis-
criminately. When picture from
New York, or Kansas City, or Seattle,
or anywhere else, arrives it is sent
Immediately to the military organiza-
lions hailing from that particular To-
callty and 1t only needs simple an
nouncement to the effect that home

Young Mems Christian association hut
or theatre to the limit as many times
as it is possible to show the film be-

picture from Chicago was being shown

Many boy over here has seen some
of his relatives in these pictures and
they are more successful than the

drama.

practice not to disclose the plot of his
productions in advance, thus avoiding
anticipated climaxes, but it may be
said that the story of ''Parlor, Bed
