Soldier-Father Seeks Home for Baby Bullet Received in Knee by Hoosier Keeps Him From Work.

By C. A. Randan Times Staff Correspondent rrrtIASHINGTON, June 25.—A YX/ Hoosier lad who left his home In Farmland, Randolph County, to help lick the Kaiser, now finds himself a worried father of three children—at least one more than fie can support. He wants to give away the third child, a son, lees than a week old. The father, Roy L. btephens, now a resident of a suburb of Washington, enlisted In the Army in May, 1917, when he was 19. He served in France with a night observation squadron. In an attack from a German combat plane he received six machine gun bullets in his left knee and leg. Doctors in France fixed him up as best, they could, and apparently in good condition he returned to .America in 1919, married, and got a job as an electrician. Three years ago, Mary, hte oldest child was born. Then came .little Rita, now 18 months old. Not long after, young Stephens fell and again injured his knee. Surgeons operated and found a machine gun bullet. Only five of the six had been removed in France. Now Stephens has a stiff knee and is able to work but little. And then last week another baby arrived. “I’d rather part with my life,” says Stephens, “but I can’t work regularly, and I want the boy to have the things I can’t give him—a good home, attention and education.” When things in his trade weren't particularly good In 1920, Stephens joined the United States Marine Corps as an electrician. It was while so employed that he was injured the second time. He was discharged, and is now pensioned at the rate of sl7 a month. He has applied to the Government for a higher pension.
