STORIES TOLD
Sergeant in Artillery of Forty-
First Division Has Photo
graphs of Great Interest
Mount Wolf, Pa-. Juno 27. J. E-
GraybiU ,of Parkman, Wyo„ a mem
bPj of the 14 Bth Field Artillery, 41st
division, recently discharged from
the army, is visiting his sister, Mrs.
C. E. Hartman. - Sergeant GraybiU
narrates thrilling war experiences
and also tells of the ruthlessness of
the Germans. The artillery of which
he was a member assisted in the
capture of "Big Bertha," the mon |
ster gun whcih bombarded Paris j
from a distance of approximately 00.
miles. In this drive the Yankees ,
had the Huns on a mad retreat, |
when "Big Bertha" was reached the,
American found that German sol-J
diers had been chained tast to their
post, this being done in order to per
mit the Boches to make a more |
rapid retreat. Some of the men n
chains wero dead, while others were j
alive, it is alleged. Not onl >'„ w ® r ®!
men chained to "Big Bertha, but j
also to machine guns. To one machine,
gun were chained the bodies of aj
dead man and a woman, the latter
being almost nude, it is said. |
Sergeant Graybill says that there!
were stacks of ammunition stored
about the big range gun. This was ,
captured by the Allied army. Huge;
piles of bones, the skeletons of|
dead Germans, were banked in the
vicinity of "Big Bertha."
Sergeant Graybill has actual
photographs of the scenes of men
chained to the guns, to verify his
statements. He will visit his sister
here for a short while, after which
he will go to his horrte in Wyom
ing. He stated that during the ad
vance of the 148 th artillery, replace
ments had to be furnished on three
occasions, the casualties being
heavy. H
Plan For Minimum
Wage For Women in
Porto Rico Approved
Snn Jim, June 27. —The project
providing a m'nimum wage for wo
men and girls employed in Porto Rico
was approved in the lower house this
week, af'j* many stormy sessions.
The bill pruritics that women under
18 year. i shall be paid not less
than $: and women over 18
years fb a week. The first three
weeks of apprenticeship are exempt
from this requirement.
No More Physically
Normal Persons in Russia
London, June 27. —Physically nor
mal persons no ""longer are to be
found in Petrograd nor In all Rus
sia, says T. Hessen, a well-known
Moscow journalist and member of the
second Duma who has arrived in
Copenhagen after a long stay in Pet
rograd. The mental state produced
by starvation, disease and nervous
strain, he says, forces Russians to
lose their mental balance.
"Their mental condition so changes
their appearance that often one can
not recognize one's nearest friend.
I remember the impression J had
when I met the well-known lawyer,
Rajeffski. At fisst X did not recognize
him. Soon afterward I learned that
he had hanged himself.
"Similar things happen daily. I
think it is to be wondered that such
suicides do not become general. In
all the streets one meets still well
dressed people, men and women, beg
ging. There they stand some of them
with their heads down, dumb as if
turned to stone; others tonelessly re
peating "I am dying. Give me some
thing to eat." "
Baker Injured When Lid
of Mixer Falls on Him
Gettysburg, Pa., June 27. —Work-
ing about a new mixer in making a
test of the machine before it was
permanently set in the bakery of
William A Hennig. M. S. Yohe, the
head baker, was painfully hurt when
the lid of the machine fell on him.
A batch of bread was about to he
mixed in the machine and a piece
of scantling was used to prop the.
lid up beside the chains which would
hold the lid and not yet been
placed in position. When working at
the mixer the prop was knocked out
bnd the heavy lid, weighing about
300 pounds fell. .Mr, Yohe saw it
coming and tried to get away, but
he was struck. A big gash was cut'
in the top of his head, while a hook
at the top of the mixer which holds
the chain pierced several holes in
his forehead. A bag of flour was ly
ing on the top of the mixer which
broke the force of the fall of the lid
and prevented more serious injury.
Civil GDvernor Named
For Japanese District
TokJo. June 27.—An Indication of
the tendency of the military influ
ence in Japan to work more closely
in harmony with the civic elements
in the Japanese government is seen |
in the recent appointment of Baron
Gonsuke Hayashi, former Minister to
Italy and China, as Governor Gen
eral of the Kwantung District in
Southern Manchuria. Hitherto the
governors have always been mill-!
tary officers.
It is considered probable here that
the Hara cabinet will seize the first
opportunity of also appointing a|
civil governor for Korea and in
augurate an Important reform in the
gendarmarie system, if not its abol
ishment altogether.
