 The 52a men in Henry's ward were typical Some merely had flesh wounds, some had lost arms, some legs-but none had lost ap- petites. So when the bugle sounded this twenty-fifth of December, the ward awakened eagerly.
 Hunger is a good alarm clock.
 Henry made his bed. military fashion, and dressed. Dressing was easy. Each convalescent had a pair of pajamas which did double duty-in bed and out. Over the bottom of them he pulled a pair of heavy woolen socks, then stepped into. his hobnailed shoes and don- ned an overcoat.
 In that somewhat summery garb the convalescents walked to the mess hall, there to stand in the chill rain and wait for those in line to take their plates, gulp the food at a rough wooden bench, and make room for the others Order lies carried plates of food to the bed patients
 It'll be rice this morning" said Henry to his neighbor in line.
 It was rice, with three prunes, a cup of black coffee and all the bread you wanted. When it wasn't rice at Mars-sur- -Allier it was oat- meal with the same trimmings- prunes, coffee and bread.
 Not the best breakfast in the world but, as the French said, c'est la guerre.
 Henry polished his plate and re- turned to the ward. In his pockets were four slices of bread he had filched. He joined the other con- around the store, all of them taking turns in making toast and joining in the daily forecast of what the next meal would be.
 That's all there was to do-think

SEMMERING, Austria, Dec. IT, Sinclair Lewis, oft-assailed critic of the American middle class mind, is settling down for a comforts able winter here in the best Aus trian middle-class manner

 Most dillusioning to those who may picture the creator of Arrow smith" as living in morose selus- ion, with a sour eye for fellow Americans abroad, is the open hsarted hospitality of the Lewis home.

 Among the villagers here the au- thor from America always is re- ferred as Herr Doktor" Lewis this not as much because he was the Nobel Prize as because in Austria anyone who looks at once intellectual and prosperous auto matically rates as a Herr Dok- tor.
 ' Although the author and his family seem completely comfort able in Austria, Lewis says he has no intention Of making Europe more than an occasional dwelling place.

bushels of wheat now held by the board would be turned over to the Red Cross and other charitable agencies for distribution among the poor. Dr Brown has already been directing the use of wheat in his section of the country. The wheat is ground in an ordinary re- tail store coffee grinder and made into meal or flour, as the desire may be. This makes an excellent cereal and also can be used in the making of whole wheat bread.
 Chairman Harris figures that if the bill is passed Waterbury can obtain as its first shipment about a carload. of the wheat. This would mean between 10000 and 80,000 pounds of the cereal. MT Harris then plans to set up q small grind ing plant which one man could ep- crate and then distribute the wheat in cereal or flour form among the needy of the city.
 Congressman Goss, 1t is under stood, favors passage of the Capper resolution. It has been opposed by those who feel that free wheat would hurt the American market. However, the good that the poor would receive from the free wheat plus the saving to the national gov ernment in storage and insurance charges on the wheat held by the farm board would more than offset any damage to the market, 1t Is argued.

William M.

MT Harris has already enlisted the aid of Congressman F. W. Goss and is now preparing to write to other influential congressional leaders in an effort to have the resolution passed.
 It was disclosed today, also, that Rev Robert F.. Brown of Oberlin college, Oberlin, Ohio, who was one of the original packers of the Cap per plan, Is the former pastor of the Second Congregational church Of this city.
 The agriculture committee voted against the Capper resolution IA to 9. This means that the bill will "die in committee" unless congress by resolution orders the bill in for action by the legislators as a whole.
