CLAYTON BRAATZ, RIDING
BICYCLE, is INJURED
BY TAXICAB

Riding a bicycle at the intersection
of Third and Grant streets early We'd
nesday afternoon, Clayton Braatz,
twelve years old, was seriously in
jured by a collision with a taxicab of
the Green Cab company, driven by
Joseph Yost Young Braatz, who is a
son of Mr. and Mrs. Emil F. Braatz,
215k Jackson street, was injured in
such manner that blood was run
ming freely from a neck cut and one
above his left eye. Eye witnesses de-
clare the boy was about to cross to
the west side of the street, when the
car, which was not running fast ap-
preached. A warning was sounded
by Clayton's companion, John Harder,
but evidently was not heard by the
lad. The taxi stopped within very
short distance of the place where the
collision occurred. The brake rod
was reported broken by the taxi driver
to it's sudden tightening.
Sympathy has been extended to the
parents of the boy and the Pilot is
pleased to report that Clayton is on
his way to recovery.

effects for over an hour" he tells,
land until we had started back. Then
the company had dropped me at the
side promising to send a truck back.
Finally l hailed an ambulance and was
taken to a field hospital, lou ing con-
sciousness." From the field hospital
he was taken to an Evacuation and
then to a Base hospital at Anglers.
BED No. 13 was given me-" Mr. Hart
lett says, "and 1 did not like it. We
were the first mustard gas patients
they had had since the war started
and did not know how to treat us. The
men started to die from bed z and
continued through II, skipping me,
and continuing ON with H.
Build Last Bridge
"Our company of engineers also
built the last bridge of the war, at
Sassy. While we were working on
this bridge three American ambulances
which had apparently crossed over the
river~>by mistake and into no mans
land, drove down and just at the end
of our bridge were captured by a
squad of Germans. Our lieutenant
saw them captured and shouted, Amy
of you men who want to, come with
me- Three of us crossed the bridge
which was uncompleted and the Ger
mans fleeing, recaptured the ambul-
ances. The fighting at the last was
so hastily done that the artillery
could>hardly get its position before it
would have to move"
After the armistice, Pvt Hartlett's
company assembled with the 4th Brig
ade at Jermetz and marched to the
Rhine. On December Is the organiza-
tion was 10 miles beyond that river.
'The German people had been told
that We would burn their homes and
Kill their wives by returning German
soldiers they were very much in
timidated for this reason" During
his four months of service in the army
of occupation, Pvt. Hartlett had the
opportunity to twice ride between
Neuweid and Lorlei.
He tells an interesting thing of the
Y. M. G. A. at Aix-les-Baines. The
French government turned the town
over to the association providing that
it would retain the entire employed
personnel, and among the number was
professional gambler, which the Y
retained, running a Casino. What
ever prejudice anyone may have had
for the Y was dispelled at Aix-les-
Baines," he declares, "for so much
was done for the soldier. Every
amusement possible was afforded and
the hotel accommodations were eX-
cellent."

AMERICAN LEGION MAKES
AUSPICIOUS DEBUTBY
IMMENSE DANCE

A more successful dance has not
been given in Wausau in many moons
than that given by the Wausau post
of the American Legion at Rothschild
pavilion last Wednesday evening,
which was attended by $50 couples,
and over 500 people of the city and
vicinity. Guests were present from
Merrill, Rhinelander, .Mosinee, Amigo,
Stevens Point, Grand Rapids, Marsh
field and from number of towns in
the county.
The immense pavilion hall seemed
small when the dancers congregated
on the ball room floor. Several num-
bers were played before the grand
march, which was formed $3.50 and
which was led by 1t. and Mrs. New
man H. Bells, who were followed by
Maj. E. E. johnson and Miss Ruth
Alexander and members of the legion
! and their ladies. The line extended
once and half times about the hall and
the march was carried out under the
direction of c. A. Christianson, man
ager of the pavilion. To cap the
climax sixteen persons in each line
marched abreast from one end OF the
hall to the other, which made an i'm
pressive military formation, during
which the orchestra played marshall
airs and my Country 'Tis of Thee"
| Older people of the city surrounded
the ball room, witnessing the march.
The uniforms of enlisted men and Of
ficers of the army, the white uniforms
of several sailors and the natty blue
of the seamen made the affair particu-
larly impressive and attractive.
The decorations were in COM
plete accord with the spirit OF
the dance. At the south end
cony occupied by the orchestra, large
red, white and blue streamers
were suspended from the ceiling and
on the sides American flags were
draped appropriately short distance
apart. The insignias of various divi-
sions were mounted about the entire
hall, the work of the local Red Cross
chapter American Legion members
have especially expressed their ap-
probation of this assistance by the
ladies of the city, through whose eff
forts much was accomplished.
: Early in the evening roses were
distributed to lady guests by grouI
; of ten sailors, who carried an American
| flag in which the roses were placeu
, George Vehlow sang Heart of {
;; Rose" while these men passed
through the hall, joining in singing the
the chorus. AS an enchore he sanl

!. and George Berkholder, Ray GuentheI

Peter Knipple participated. Louis A
, Pradt, Jr., presented an Hawaiil
! string orchestra which played melod
;, iously-so much so that the dancer
j swarmed onto the floor, dancing quiet
: ly to the faint strains of that music.
Maj E. E. Johnson spoke at abou
E10 o'clock, reading the preambl

; the American Legion and explainin

At meeting of the directors of the
American National bank held on Sat

orial to the late Benjamin Heinemann
who was the banks president from its
foundation was presented by w. Fl.
Bissell, member of the board:
"The passing of President Benja-
min Heinemann has brought home to
every member of this board and to
every stockholder a sense of personal
loss.
For nearly forty-seven years he
was a resident of this city, very ac-
tive in all projects for its upbuilding
and one of our most successful bust
ness men.
"He became interested in the. organ
ization in 1890, of the German Amer
lean Savings Bank, the predecessor
of the present bank and was immedi
ately elected a director and its presi
dent. When it was transformed int
the present national bank in 1892, h
was continued as a director and pres
