SOLDIERS PLEA WON MERCY

Pvt. Bartholomew w. Kane, jr., Of
the 3O6th Machine Gun Company Of
the 77th Division, who fought and
was wounded twice in the ArgOnne
Forest, was in the federal court when
a jury convicted the father and moth
er of selling liquor to soldiers from
Camp Mills recently. He heard the
foreman announce the verdict after q
little more than a half hours DELHI
Grafton.
Private Kane, limping forward from
an open wound above the knee, step
ped forward as the prosecutor moved
for judgment.
"Your honor" the, soldier said,
standing at attention. II ask mercy
for my father and mother. ] ask 1t
because have given my blood to my
country and because 1t is hard to hear
q jury say they violated the laws Of
the country for which / fought. You
have heard how the old gentleman
gave lodging free to soldiers and sail
ors who were penniless. You must
know that his heart is in the right
place. And my mother, your honor,
remember please, that she is the moth
er of q wounded soldierp
The Judge cleared his throat.
"What has the government to say?"
he asked the prosecutor.
The successful government attor-
ney, making no effort to hide suspic-
ious moisture in his eyes, in husky
voice asked for mercy.
Then the court sentenced Mrs. Julia
Kane, the mother, to a day in jail,
and the soldiers father to thirty days
both sentences benig lenient in view
Of the offense.
Mrs. Kane did not have to serve
her sentence.-BrOOklyn Eagle.

And we are coming home, l hear.
Home again with you once more,
Say in nineteen twenty-four.
Once / thought by now I'd be,
Sailing back across the sea-.
Back to you and your tenderness,
But, no! I'm stuck in the S. o. s.
You can hear the gangs all curse,
War is hell, but peace is worse.
When the next war comes around,
In the front rank I'll be found.
I'll rush in again pell-mell,.
Yes, / will, like hell, like hell.

One Of the biggest jobs in the Y. M.
%. A. service overseas was put across by
Halvorson. The transportation problem
was most difficult oae. We needed at
the head Of the transportation depart
mcnt a man who could handle other
men, q man who could be entrusted with
vast sums of money, a man who was
good buyer and Halvorson turned 1ut to
be just the MIN to fill the bill. Eefore

Professor Walsh, formerly Of Salem,
was fortunate in securing the Cro1x de

doing favor for the French soldiers. His
work was entirely with the French army.
When the armistiee was signed there
was French sergeant who has been
promised his commission. OF course aft
or the armistice 1T was It very difficult
thing for any French soldier to get
commission. Professor Walsh went di-
rectly to one of the leading French gen
erals and told him the circumstances
concerning the sergeant and in very
short time the commission was granted.
The French general was astounded in
the first place, because TN American
would leave his profession and his fam
lily and come to France to help french
soldiers and also that any American
should interest himself in the advance
ment of a French sergeant. During his
stay in France Professor Walsh was en-
gagged in doing little acts of service
which finally attracted the attention of
French officials and as reward FOL
these services he was given the. Croix dc
Guerre.
