hurt I had my face burned by hav-
ing a shell explode close to me and
got quite a lot of gas once That
is all that ever happended to me-
Never was wounded at all, so ! DO
not wear any wound stripes
The heading of my letter is not
"a disease. but the name of the town
that we are in 1t is about as bad as
the name too. All Of these French
towns are so dirty and as the people
themselves are not overly clean, we
can't expect much more from them

Last Wednesday morning we were
called TO take care Of q wreck about

fifty injured and Is killed. so it seems
likes old times again, only we were

ice cross, and it is evident that TO
this paper he refersl | did my
best and can look anyone in the face
and say did my duty 1t was very
wonderful TO 90 through such an ex-
perience and come out alive, so

GOT MONEY
 BUT COULDN'T
 GET PASSPORTS

Alex Getima of z6s Spruce street, who was arrested Sunday afternoon in company with Alex Lucas and Mich Mann, of the same address, for assaulting John Kish and Alex Shu- porino, of PCT Spruce street, was re- arrested on technical charge of breach of the peace. as he left the city court room this morning. Geti- mas case was noIIcd upon the pay ment of $10, but he is now being held for tha Department of Justice off, cials who are Investigating a number of charges which have been made against him.
 Getima was brought to the atten- ton of the Department of Justice some time ago, when numerous com plaints were made relative to his sa- curing money from foreign residents of this city under the pretense of se- curing passports with the funds l. is alleged that Getima usually charg- ed S25 or $50 for his work, but for some reason never produced the papers It is believed that he has heeced Bridgeport foreigners out oS S2.0OO by this method. A charge of obtaining money under false pre- tensos will undoubtedly be lodged against Getima by the Department of Justice.

HAaN WH0 KILLED TIN0C0 HAS NOT
 BEEN CAPTURED
Identity Of Slayer of Costa Bican War Minister Is
 Unknown.
MAN KNOWN TO HAVE
 HAD MANY ENEMIES
Expressed Desire to Quit Politics Shortly Before
 Assassination.

San Jose, Costa Rica, Aus. 26-tBy lTaiD D-A>sissinatlon of Joaquin Tin oco, late Minister of War and brother of former President Federico Tiuoc0, on August last, is still an uus0lved
 mystery with indications that the slayer may never be brought to answer for his crime. The fortnight which has elapsed since the tragedy has brought out a number of inter cstinE facts in connection with it which never before have been told.
 Joaquin was S9 years old, one of the handsomest men in Costa Tsica, a quick shooter and courageous as a lion He was tall and of athletic build, fond of horses and member of one of the most distinguished fam lies He rarely went ularmad and had fought a number of due-s. The widow of one of his adversaries, a lawyer he killed in a revolver fight, a few years ago sought to avenEe her husband and fired five shots at close range at Tinoco but the latter sur viveG his wounds.
 When on January 27. 1917, his brother Federico, who was Minister
 of War i1 the cabinet of President Alfredo Gonzalez, derosed the latter
 
 JoauGfn was given the war portfolio and rhereupOu, it is said, became the real president Of Costa Rica. Tor two years previously Joaquin had been fighting revoluti0uis-s and personal enemies and when he became Minis ter of War he became still more ener- -etic and aggressive It has been said that Joaquin on the day of his death had more enemies than a pOpu- lar motion picture actress in the United States had admirers.
 On the day before the assassination Joaquin went before the Costa Rican ! Congress and asked to be relieved as vice president, a position he held by virtue of his cabinet post At the same time his brother. the President asked official permission to leave the 1 country because of "iI health" Both requests were granted and the two l Tinocos were preparing to depart when Joaquin was shot down.
 A few months before he met his death Joaquin began to take a strange ! interest in sDirituaIsn. Frequently ! he went to a small village called l Guadelupe where he consulted a 1 woman medium, and after his last i visit seemed disturbed by what she i had told him. That same afternoon 1 he returned home and teleD1oned for l his car but it was out of order and i he decided to go for a walk A block 1 from his residence a man stepped l from behind a tree and fired at Tin | oco point blank. The shot pierced ] his eye. causing almost instant death. 1 Notwithstanding the suddenness Oi 1 the attack, in the fraction of the second he remained alive, Joaquin ] had drawn his own revolver. The | weapon was found in his clenched hand. every cartridge chamber full

 RETIRED AS FOREIGN MINISTER

Vienna, Thursday, Sept. 10-Martin L0yasey,, Hungarian Foreign Minis ter, has been forced out of the cab inct. according to adviccs from Buda- pest. He had heretofore refused to meet demands for his resiEnation, but his colleagues charged that he sent notes to the peace conference with out making known his action to the government, and also that he failed to transmit to Vienna the govern ments demand for the eXtraditiOn of BeIa Kun, Hungarian dictator dur ing the communist regime.

PERSHING GETS
 OFF HORSE TO
 GREET CARDINAL
CContinued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One) soldiers under the Stars and Stripes. Behind him as a guard of honor swung "Pershings own" the com posite regiment of six-foot infantry men who had followed him through the fa=-decked streets of foreign capitals.
 Never in the city's history had such a uu.Itude of spectators turned out for any pageant. It was a holiday for the metropolis. and tle broad avenue was banked from the far end of Cen tral Park to Washin-ton Square with dense masses of humanity. AIyriads waited for hours under lcaden skies, when they knew they had little chance of seeing tho procession. Every window and every roof along the way was packed. Countless thousands were banked in the eastern edge of Central Park and at least 100000 sat in the ciry's grand stand and those erected by spectators.
 For Pcrshtrg it was tho culmina- ton of a long series of scenes of adu- lation. He said he was overwhelm- cd by the reception given him when he set foot on the shores of Man haitian Monday but even that paled into insigrificance compared with frcnzied greeting that was his today. He was the commanding figure in an army Of heroes.
 As the stern visaged warrior, sit ting on his horse like a ceutaur, rode through the arch which spans the avenue at 10th street. there rose a cheer which v0lleyed to the trees and cra-z in Central Park. It was the bcefnnfn- of an ovation such as few Americans have had. Human throats could voice no louder welcome.
 Proud of the gallant young veterans who marched behind him, the com mander rode slowly down the avenue before the hero wOrshipping millions The bronzed men who followed were worthy of all tho pride their chief could feel. Their regimental flags had never known defeat and under them five thousand men had died in France More than 1.51O fell on the field of Soissons and almost as many more on the Mouse and in the Ar Eounc. The grim roll casualties is longer than the roster of the division.
 As tho parade passed St Patrick's 8 Cathedral it was unexpectedly halted and General PershiuG dismOuntcd and crossed to tho reviewing stand where Cardinal ATercior sat with Archbishop Hayes and a number of other church dignitaries The cheering rose to a deafening volume as the famous sol dier clasncd hands with the heroic Belgian urclatc. Cardinal Mercier had been given a tremendous recep- ton on his first arrival at the review ing stand, but the cheering which rose as he stood up to greet the Amer .ican commander in chief made his previous welcome seem feeble.
