ANDY NORTON, dead
IN ACTION" CAUSES
HIS FRIENDS SCARE

How does it feel to be a dead man,
back home again in his home town? ?
Andy" Norton who. until last Septem-
Der, was member of the Third
Division of the A. E. F.. can answer.
Norton was officially reported killed
IN action by the war department last
fall, although he came through the
war without even a wound. Everyone
here who knew him thought he was
dead.
Good Lord, It's, yes. it is, Andy
Norton" is the way his friends are
greeting him he says. He says that 1t
makes a man feel like spook to see
acuuaintances turn CHASTITY white, and
then fall upon him for an explanation.
I'm as good as any Halloween sur
prise you ever heard Of. All have to
do is step out on the street to be met
by at least one former friend who i'm
mediately looks as if he'd seen a
ghost" said Norton Thursday, as he
drove a welding machine over red
hot piece of metal in a local garage
He looks like health itself and boasts
that he has not even a scratch to re
mind him Of those long months he was
dead in France"
n. E. Grazes Him.
"The nearest I came to going west
was when a high explosive she'll tore
the front of my shirt off and grazed
the skin of my chest. That wasn't any
thing though: didn't even look at 4
hospital, on account of it"
The announcement that Norton had
been killed in France brought its toll
of deep sorrow to his parents down
at Kitchell. Indiana. 1t was days and
days before they were sure that he
was still living. The war department;
investigated and they continued tt
write letters to him and to his super
ior officers. Letters from him kept
coming home, but the family couldn't
be sure that they had not been written
before he was killed.
At last came a letter from theii
dead son" demanding a reason for al
.the mourning, and letters to his
officers.
I've not kicked in; I'm feeling fine;
came through everything IRON

anv trouble at all" He arrived In the
states with the Third Division las'

lbanez, Famous Spanish Novelist Whose Books
Have Been Read by Millions, In u. S.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Vincente
Blasco IbaneZ. the Spanish novelist,
author of THE -Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse" and other books which
have enjoyed great popularity in this
country, has just arrived in America
for a four months tour. He intends
to study this country and make use
Of 1t in future novels.
Speaking through an interpreter,
for he knows no English, Senior Ibanez
told reporters that conditions in Eur
ope seemed to make it apparent that
social war was inevitable, which
would probably be more terrible than
the great war, because instead Of be-
ing fought along a battle line with sci
entific instruments of defense as we'll
as attack, it would occur between
class and class in city, town and coun-
try. OF the United States, he said:
"The United States has, perfect
government within the limit Of human
perfection. 1t is the most perfect gov
ernment that exists. 1t is progressive
and it cures its own defects. In the
old world, in the monarchies, the de-
fects become institutions and in time
1t becomes necessary to overthrow
them"
He said the actual writing on "The
Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse"
was done in 4 months, in the time
spared from his official work of writ
ing an elaborate weekly chronicle of
the war and directing the allied prop
aganda in South America as an agent
of the French government. He said
he worked continuously for IS hours
a day throughout the war
His appearance indicates remark
able physical vigor. He Is Of middle
height, or slightly under, thick and
heavy without being fat An artist
desiring to make a portrait or statue
OF Balzac might find Senior Ibanez
useful as a model.
The novelist plans to visit all sec
tions Of this country and then make a
