HERO HAS 227 WOUNDS.
Kansas City Soldier Boy Back
From Italy, and Looking
for a Job.

The first wounded American from the
Italian front arrived in New York a day or
two ago by the steamship Giuseppe Nerdi
OF the Transatlantica Italiano Line with
probably more scars than any other man,
IN or out OF uniform, who defied the shrap-
mel of the Central Powers.
His wounds might have been much less

on generous proportions, being more
than SIX feet tall and Of ample beam.
He is Ernest NJ Hemingway, before
the war a reporter for the Kansas CITY
Star, and hailing from Oak Park, Ill. The
surgical chart of his battered person
shows 227 marks, indicating where blts OF
a peculiar kind Of Austrian shrapnel,
about as thick as "A .22 .calibrc bullet and
an inch long, like small cuts from length
of wire, smotc him. Some of these bits
have been extracted after a dozen or
more operations and Young Hemingway
hopes finally to get them all out, but he
still retains "A hundred or more.
Hemingway joined the Red Cross IN
France and was transferred To the Italian
front last july He was distributing
clagarettcs in the Pave district IN the
front line trenches when a shell from "A
trench mortar burst over his head. lie
said the slugs from the shell felt like the
stings of wasps as they bore into bim. He
crlImpled up and two Italian stretcher
bearers started over the parapet with
him, knowing that he needed swift at
tcntion Austrian machine gInncrs
spotted the party and before they could
get over, he and the streteher bearers
went down under a storm of machine
gun bullets. one of which got Hemingway
in the shoulder and another I'm the right
leg. Two other strctcher men took the
tall American through the communication
trenches to the rear, where he received
first aid.
Hemingway was in the Red Cross
Hospital at Milan three months and the
surgeons extracted 81 fragments from his
head and body, telling hum he was in for
series of operations that might last year

Demands Germany
Confess Her Guilt

BERLIN, July 24.-Prof. Forester
publishes asecond article in the Tage-
blatt in which he says Great Britain
gave to the world an example of the
spirit of Give and let live" Hence
her success with the Beers compared
with Germany's failure with the old
German people of Alsace.
Condcmning the part German di-
plomacy took in causing the outbreak
of the war, Prof. Forester says it is
most important to guarantee that the
old fatal spirit of German militarism
shall not return. 1t must be eradi-
Gated from the German soul.
''There can be no new order" he
writes, without confession of Ger
many's wrong. 1t is no disgrace to a
people to have fallen into error.
What alone dishonors is not to ac-
knowledge error and guilt. The self
humiliation demanded by the treaty
is the only way to betterment."

French Favor
Smaller Army
(By United Press.)

Parsley Mail. How large
a standing army will France maintain
after the peace settlement?
Before the war France had stand
ing army of about 100000 men. This
army consisted of three classes of
100000 men each and of profess
sional army of colonial troops num-
boring about 100000. The mainte-
nance Of this force called for three
years obligatory service on the part Of
every Frenchman.
1t is the reduction of this long
term of service that most interests
the public. The "Opinion," semi
official military paper, recently print
ed the future needs as seen my mil
itary critic. This writer estimates
that force of 100000 will suffice
for the army on the Rhine, which he
regards as the most important obi
CATION, and for the policing of Moroc-
CO. Though he sets no definite figure
for the troops needed in the Near
East and in the home garrisons, he ar
rives at the interesting conclusion
that any army of 100000 during the
winter and Of 100000 during the
summer will be plentiful.
AS the colonial army of profession
al soldiers will continue to approx
mate 100000, the writer points out
that fifteen months service on the
parth of the home classes will give a
minimum strength of 100000. This
critic proposes that the classes be
called up each spring and kept in SER
vice until the autumn of the follow
ing year. Fifteen months service
would give sufficient time for real
training and furnish a large army
during the summer months when the
danger is greatest and when the main
tenance of an army causes the least
hardship both on the soldiers and the
state.

Crop Conditions
In Tennessee

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 25.-
Showers occurred, but many small
areas are suffering for lack of rain.
The showers were often too light to
relieve the drought. Conditions gen.
orally were favorable for field work,
savings oats and hay, threshing wheat
and cultivating corn, cotton and to-
bacco. Wheat threshing is mostly
done. Early corn is generally laid
by. Corn made good progress except
in the dry spots. In some sections,
mostly in the eastern counties, corn
is fine. It's condition and progress
were least favorable in the extreme
west, where much of the crop is US
ually late and where farm work was
greatly delayed by bad weather in
the spring; however, even in this sec
ton, progress was made during the
week. Cotton improved. The hot
sunshine was favorable for it and the
rainfall was generally sufficient.
The crop is usually late, but its
present condition seems generally
good. Peanuts did we'll generally.
Tobacco, potatoes, and peas and
beans for hay did well except where
the ground is too dry. The main
peach crop is ripening. The condi-
tions in regard to peaches are quite
variable, from poor to good.

WHY WORRY?

Do not think of trouble,
Do not think of stings;
Let the brain cells bubble
Over pleasant things.
Put the kibosh on your worries,
They are only mental flurries.
When your troubles bristle,
Seeming hard to stem,
Muster up whistle
And get rid of them.
Many thoughts will then abet you
What did worry ever get you?

doubt Velma was taken to lead the
way. Grandma was the first to fol-
low, and we sometimes wonder who
will be the next. Don't you know
Velma was happy when she opened
the gates and found grandmother
there waiting to enter. She will be
missed by all, and especially by her
devoted husband and Fred. The dear
