Shows Drop, With 2257
Names
Chief Mechanlo Howard M. Kennedy,
who saved the lives of a dozen men at
the coat of his right hand, has been
decorated with the Croix de Guerro and
tho Congressional Medal.
Kennedy, who Is a former member of
tho Philadelphia Flro , Department, at
tached to Kngme Company No. 43, was
In a front line trench with Company E,
cf the 111th Infantry on tho morning the
war ended. While the men were loung
ing around, knowing that all was
virtually over and Just waiting for 11
o'clocvk and the order "cease firing," a
German tossed a hand grenade Into the
trench.
Seeing It fall, Kennedy realized that
there was not time enough for his com
rades to escape So, without a second's
hesitation he Jumped for the bomb, picked
It up and tossed It back toward the
German lines. It exploded in the air
a second or so after leaving his hand. A
fragment flew back and shattered his
right hand so badly It had to bo am
putated. Wovnded Tlirfe Time
Kennedy had been In Franco since
early in the summer and had been
wounded three times before, but tho In
juries had not proved serious and he
had soon rejoined his regiment.
Chief Mechanlo Kennedy had earned
a reputation for bravery and for always
doing the right thing at the right time
during his seventeen years of service In
the Ore department. lie made a number
of sensational rescues for which he wa-.
commended by his chief, had stopped a
runaway team, captured two highway
men, arrested a reckless automobile
driver who tried to escape after run
runlng down a pedestrian and while
serving with the National Guard on the
Mexican border, helped put out a fire
In an ammunition dump, thuavreventing
a serious explosion.
He Is Modest ITero
He Is a modest hero, though. Is Chief I
Mechanic Kennedy, for ho barely refer
red to his honors In a letter to his wife
and but for his comrades she would ,
never have known of his gallant action
and its reward of tho coveted Croix de i
Guerre. They, however, wrote her In
detail how her husband's courage and '
quick wit had saved their lives.
Kennedy Is thirty-six years old and

WHAT GERMANY
MUST PAY
""" Germany has had her war-dance and must now pay the piper. In 1871 Germany
made France pay the full pricc'of defeat. If she had won the present war, to use the words
of a German business man, "she would have dictated peace at Buckingham Palace and an
nexed the entire continent from the Ural Mountains to the Bay of Biscay." There is no
indication that the Allies will dictate any such robber's peace, but they arc determined, to
judge from the pledges of Allied rulers, the emphatic declarations of the Allied press, and the
stern comment of the man on the street in London, and Paris, and Antwerp, and Chicago, to
make Germany pay for the wreck and the ruin she brought upon the world.
If you would know quite definitely the demands that will be made upon Germany by
the allied countries that have suffered from the war, you should read the leading article in
THE LITERARY DIGEST this week December 28th. It is a careful compilation from
the most authoritative sources and undoubtedly represents the force of public opinion in the
allied countries.
