NEW WAR BOOK

MOST ACCURATE
Newspaper Man Says You
Asked for the Truth, Take
It or Leave IT,

1t looks as though we had quit sem

spective-young Thomas Boyd. vet
eran. and at present literary editor of
the st. Paul Daily News. has published
his Impressions of what happened to
the A. z. F.
His book. Through the Wheat is
as dispassionate, as just, as unbiased
as the most accurate news tory. 1t
is not as bitter as Three Soldiers. -
Neither is 1t in the slightest degree
permeated by any of that quality
which distinguished the things written
by Conningsby Dawson during 1917,
nor is it sentimental like Villa Ca
theirs "One of Ours" which despite
the fact that it took the Pulitzer prize
this year, was considered by many
critics as the poorest thing Miss
Gather ever wrote
Private Hicks, about whom Boydus
story centers finds lots of fault with
the war. 1t seems pretty foolish to
him and to his companions. But they
would have, been insulted If anyone
had insinuated that they were not
1.-The best soldiers in the known world. -
Boyd absolutely refuses to be any
thing but realistic about the carnage
and the slaughter. The odor of de-
caying bodies made the living Ill, and
he tells you so. That is not the half
OF 1t.
Take for instance this passage:
%. In the middle of his back a
large hole had been blown. Surpris-
ingly, there was very little blood on
his shirt, or upon any other part Of
his body. save where the gaping hole
showed the raw flesh. Hours earlier
King Cole had been struck by the ex-
plosion of a shell. Since then he had
laln--alive."
Or this:
ION the drab earth, beaten lifeless
by carnage and corruption. drab bod
les lay, oozing thin streams of pink
blood, which formed dark. mysterious
little pools by their sides. Jaws were
slack-dark, Objectionable caVerns in
pallid faces. Some men still moaned,
or, in tone into which discourage
ment had crept, called for help"
Thomas Boyd says in effect: This
was how it was. Take 1t or leave it.
But you've asked for the truth, and
this is IT.

TERRIFIC HEAT OF

Wartime President Follows

WASHINGTON. July 2S.-Presa-
dent Harding has been enjoying the
cool breezes of Alaska, and ex-Presi-
lent Taft is vacationing in Canada,
but there is at beast one man who is
still battling one Of the hottest SURF

He is ex-President Wilson.
Mr. Wilson has no vacation plans,
according to his closest associates. and
will follow his'< daily routine. This

and a long auto ride in the afternoon.

Grayson his physician. There has
been practically no change in the con-
dition OF his health recently"
Although he is heavier and has more
color than when he left the White
House, the wartime President is still
far from being a we'll man His sadly
twisted face bears evidence Of his long
Illness and he leans heavily on his
cane. His hair is snow white.
The old veterans regular anuse-
ment consists of his weekly visit to
Keith's vaudeville theater, which he
and Mrs. Wilson attend each Saturday
night except in bad weather. He is
vaudeville fan. The crowd never fails
to give him a rousing ovation as he

One of the jokes that seemed to
amuse the former President most at
last Saturday nights performance was
pulled by Harry Green, a comedian
appearing as George Washington Co

coming President, determined never

CHICAGO, July 2S-Grain prices
closed irregular on the Chicago board
today.
After an advance induced by good
class of buying by shorts, wheat prices
suffered a setback when the buyers
left the market Most of the trading
during the late hours of the session
was without feature. The report on
the visible supplies. showing marked
increase, had a detrimental effect on
trading.
Corn prices. with the exception Of
July, declined. Good buying by shorts
for deliveries strengthened July, while
the deferred months were under de-
preston caused by reports that ship
ments for the next few months would
increase.
Oats were lower. There were no
features.
Provisions closed lower. Trading

Every county in the State has plant

the surprising records is made by

hour day coming in the steel industry
great deal sooner than is Indicated
by the latest evasive letter from the
Iron and Steel Institute to President
Harding. This letter itself will be used
to speed the day.
President Harding, giving 1t pub

It showed a purpose Of the steel manu-
facturers to abolish the 12-hour day Of

giving the steel workers in advance
the benefit Of public opinion as they
prepare to launch their own fight for
better conditions in the mills.
The fight is still some months in
the future. It will be in the hands of
the Amalgamated Association Of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers. The same or
ganIzation led in similar movement
in 1890. 1t will again have active

ception of William z. Foster, who
broke with the A F. of L. since that
time.
Just now work toward unionizing

selecting men who will drop into steel
towns to talk organizing to workers.
Organizers expect to encounter

The twelve-hour day argument will
be used to draw workers into the
union. Workers, say the organizers.
have no expectation OF voluntary ac-
ton on the part of Judge Gary; he
may grant 1t as a means to forestall
the organizers. but they say It will
soon be too late to do this.
Labor organizers see the present as
a good time for their purpose. for
another reason than the publicity the
President has attracted. The mills
need men. There are more jobs than
there ara steel workers. A strike
right now could not be broken with
strike breakers. Strike breakers
could not be found.

have good support while Steel was in
active, selling slightly under 90.
