Herbert Sears Served Through
 War-Hit IA Times
MAS ALSO GAS VICTIM
Johnny Igoe, Veteran Conductor, Re- sumes Duties on Berlin Line Court Will Meet Wednesday Night to Hear Testimony in Alleged Stab bing Case.

Herbert Sears, a returned Canadian soldier, is spending a few days with relatives in East Berlin, coming here from St. Johns Military hospital in New Brunswick, Canada, where he has been under care for over a year. H. has served in the battle of Dix nude, Vimy Ridge, Arras, Ypres and In the Argonne battles.
 -He escaped injury in all of the big battles, but was nearly killed while resting behind the lines. He in com- pany with five of his comrades were standing near mud hole when shell landed within six feet of the group, burying itself in the mud ex- ploding with disastrous force. Every on9 of the six were struck by the fly ing shrapnel and hurled into the air 10 feet by the concussion. MT. Sears landed in the shell hole which was filled up again by the mul so that only his head was visible. The shrap- &Tel. carried away piece of his el- bow, taking the bone clean out. An other piece took a four inch piece out of his hip. Eight different wounds in his left leg left him paralyzed A small piece of shrapnel cut the wrist watch from his wrist as neat as a
 
 3 his arm with terrific force.
 One. piece is very visible in his thumb.
 When asked what his sensa tions were while in his helpless condition, he said that he thought he was dying. There was no feeling to his body, every nerve being paralyzed. Large drops of sweat broke out as he ex- pected the last ment of living. Just as 1t seemed hopeless the sergeant major came along and dug him out. While being carried across the open field a mustard gas attack was launched by the Germans. In the hurry to get him to the nearest hos ~pitaI his gas mask was forgotten and he was carried through the gas ex- posed to the full force of the poison He was blinded and his throat was terribly burned by the mustard gas so that for six months he ~could not speak above a whisper.
 From 200 pounds he went to f12O pounds from the terrible effects of his wounds and the gas. His left arm is Joined at the elbow by a silver bar which holds his forearm to the upper arm. His hip also is support ed by silver bar, so that he can have the use of his leg Tn all he has 14 wounds and if he wore wound stripe for every wound he would look like a zebra.

 Months Mind Mass.
 A requiem high months mind mass was celebrated at 7:30 a. m. in the Church of Our Lady of Mercy for the late James Rigley of North Wash ington street. Mr. Rigley was over 70 when he died and was blind for 30 years of his life. Rev. J. E. Fay cele- brated the mass.
 Married Men Win.
 The married men employed in Trumbuls shop are as proud as youngsters today. The reason is the defeat of the baseball team repre- senting the single men on Saturday. The game is a yearly event but the 1919 affair took on more serious pro- portions At the annual outing at Savin Rock, when the married men were all dressed up and filled with "eats' and Everything" the single men romped away with a game of ball. That displeased the married men and so blood was desired in Saturdays fray It was obtained and when the final ball was pitched the married men were conquerors by the score of to 6. Smith of Meriden pitched for the veterans, allowing only four hits and striking out 12 men. Frank FO- ran did the iron man stunt for the single men and if well cough support ed the score would probably have been different. Another game to decide the real champions was announced this morning.
 Brief Items.
 Clarence Hemingway, one of four brothers serving Uncle Sam in the Navy, has received his discharge from the service and returned to his home on North Washington street. Heming- way not only has an honorable dis charge from the service but also car ries the marks of an accident while on duty rec eived bis arm was severely lacerated by a falling shell whie the fleet was in Cuban waters on maneu- Vers.

WIDE DIFFERENCE IN LIVES
Something of a Moral in the Careers
of John Burroughs and the
Late Jay Gould.

More than seventy years ago two
boys attended the village school of
Roxbury, among the CatskillS. togeth-
er. They sat in adjoining seats. One
wrote composition for the other, and
charged him 40 cents for the perform
ance. The man who collected the cash
for his writing was Jay Gould who
died at the age of fifty-SiX and left an
estate valued at $70,OO0,OO0. The man
who paid cash for the composition
was John Burroughs. the famous
naturalist and writer, who recently
celebrated his eighty-Second annivcr-
sary at his beautiful vtne-clad cottage
on the Hudson.
Burroughs hasn't been bending all
his efforts to gcttNs money, although
he has acquired competence of this
worlds goods. He says he has taken
real foy out of life. Nature appeals
to him In a marvellous way, and he IaS
passed his feelings on to the world
in his many books.

haven't an ache or pain he says. 1t
