Insurgents, Wounded Men Claim,
Eager to Return to Fight.

Mr.. Lamb, who was sitting on his
| cot. laughed at his own wound.
There have been very few wounds,
most Of them freak ones," he said.
"One fellow was shot in the shoulder
and got mad. He thought some one
threw rock at him. I had to look
for a machine gun nest and felt this
sting. A sniper got me-"
Mr.. Wellman's unit had turned back
to round up insurgents struggling be-
hind the lines when an aerial bomb
burst nearby.
Il didn't even know I was hit"
Mr.. Wellman said. Il bandaged up six
other fellows with me, all Spaniards.
Then some one said Where did the
bamb fall that got you and I saw
this" pointing to his leg.
Mr.. Wheeler was limping through
the hospital. I'VE walked for six
days." he said, land my feet went
bad. But want to get back now"
James Lardner Hurt.
They brought back news of other
Americans.
James Lardner, son of the late Ring
Lardner, in flrst-aid station, before
they were sent by ambulance, boat
and train to different hospitals.
He wouldn't get down when the
planes came over" Mr.. Wellman said.
He always wanted to keep going.
When they came the last time he
started into trench but jumped too
late. He got two shrapnel wounds
and was in some pain but by now he'll
be all right"
Mr.. Lamb told story about an
other American, Howard Goddard Of
Los Angeles.
He was riding up to the division on
q motor cycle" he said, when a party
of about 80 Fascists behind our lines
cut across the road.
He had to stop and they cap
tured him. But he persuaded them
all to surrender"

ticles handled in brokers' exchanges
here are surprisingly small.
There is, however, a daily check on
stolen items-and in this respect the
broker may be considered as rendering
q public service. He furnishes to the
police each day a list of all transac-
tions, including descriptions Of ar
ticles and sellers. This helps the
police to locate stolen goods and to ap-
prehend the criminal.
Not infrequently the victims of these
thefts demur at compensating the bro
ker for the payment made on stolen
item. The rightful owner, of course.
may reclaim his possessions, but the
broker is entitled to recompense.
The selling side of the business
sales of unredeemed items and regular
stocks Of merchandise-is important
in volume. Many persons patronize
these shops for jewelry, sports goods,
musical instruments and such, in the
belief that they will find bargains. An
tique dealers are regular customers.
As in other lines Of merchandise, the
business is seasonal-cameras In the
summer, for instance, and shotguns
in the fall, trinkets and gifts during
the holiday season. But all year long
the brokers deal with the Capitals
little man, the unfortunate who has
no bank credit, the unemployed, the

ranging from precious stones to
guitars, gold clubs, antiques is essential
to these men who do business on the
spot. Transactions usually are brief.
A thorough knowledge Of merchandise
personal knowledge-S needed to
establish fair price for the seller and
at the same time insure the buyer
against loss.
Besides the factor Of intrinsic value,
other considerations influence price
determination in these personal trans
actions. General economic conditions,
the market for the specific article, the
sellers prospects Of redeeming the item
and the brokers' stock Of that article
all affect the individual deal and price.
II the seller does not lift" the
article-redeem 1.-THE broker must
find = buyer in the open market to
cover his investment; too many unre-
deemed items, Is was the case during
the depression, threaten the brokers'
solvency. The tendency not to redeem
pledged goods has been noticeable in
Washington again during 1898. Bro
kers attribute this to the turnover In
Government personnel as well as to
worse business conditions generally
than were experienced few years ago.
Stolen articles are among the an
noyances Of the trade. The pawn
broker has no way, other than his
judgment Of the customer, to know
whether the article offered for sale Is
stolen or not. Considering this de-
pendenee solely on the brokers' per-
spicacity, the number Of stolen ar

to help unfortunates without resources
get back on their feet. Their private
charities may or may not total big
figures, but they give helping hand
when it's most needed. Consider the
stranger In town who managed to find
q job at $40 a week. He had the Job,
but no room, no food, no friends,
nothing to sell or hook. The couple Of
dollars for room rent and another
dollar or so for food advanced by q
broker on confidence alone Is some
thing nice to know about.
The course of love, as Of economic
conditions, is traced in the book en-
tries of these personal brokers. The
diamond purchased in the joys Of be-
trothal often finds its way to the same
broker after romance smashes. And
lovers gifts have way Of returning
to the shelves Of these brokers who
buy and sell and buy again.
It is natural that these business
men should become adept In reading
and judging human nature. They
must be, too, expert merchandisers be-
cause Of the variety Of goods they
handle. Intimate knowledge Of items
