HEROIC TALES TOLD OF EACH OTHER BY YANKS

Maimed Soldiers Forget Wounc'i in Joy to be Back to America. NEW YORK, Dec. 12 Welcomed home as heroic sons of the nation, 7,740 more soldiers, sailors, marines and aviutors representing virtually every state in the union entered fogbound New York harbor Wednesday on six large transports from European ports. The tales these men told about one another were narrations of American high courage on French battlefields, on the open seas and In the air above France and England. Hundreds of the men maimed for life by wounds received in some of the war's heaviest fighting were hurried to hospitals and the others went to camps, where they will be demobilized. Some bad left America, as scarcely more than boys, but they came back as men, either wounded or sound. The wounded Included soldiers, who had walked with crutches when their ships sailed from Europe and who made exultant by their home-coming, tossed their props aside and declared themselves cured as If by the miracle of their return. Back For Christmas Here was a . man with a jaw shot away and happy in his expectation of rejoining his wife and children. There was a man with both feet gone, amputated by surgeons after the bones had been splintered by German shells in the bloody Argonne forest, but glad, he said, that he had served country and flag regardless of the cost to himself. Other men had met with a different misfortune; these were unable to discern the torch which the Statue of Liberty held high above the busy harbor and moving transports. And there were others who could not hear Iho port's whistles and the air raid Mrens which shrieked their welcoimng demonstration. Many of these men had eaten their Thanksgiving dinners on board ship and were glad they were home in time to have their Christmas dinners in their homes. All who returned today were not in military or naval service as actual fighters. There were Y. M. C. A. girls, who had suffered from gas poisoning. Y. M. C. A. workers who had strengthened soldiers' morale while under fire, and chaplains who had risked their lives and aided American contingents in destroying German machine gun nests. Of these, stories without number were told by troops who themselves had survived the war's dangers and spoke modestly of that fact. Preble County Exoects to Reach W. S. S. Quota EATON, O., Dec. 12.

The electric light question, which has been worrying the members of the village council for several years, came to a head last evening when a resolution was adopted authorizing the village clerk to advertise for bids for the purchase of current from outside sources. This means that the municipal plant will be closed down, having proved itself a losing proposition. Robert Ashe of Richmond, representing the Liberty Light and Power company, was present and answered many questions propounded by members of council. Mr. Ashe made no proposition, but stated that he would present a bKl at the proper time. Public sentiment is divided upon the practicability of the new move, and there are rumors to the effect that injunction proceedings may be instituted against council. Mayor Hughes, however, says he does not fear such action, and he does not believe there is a court in the world that would enjoin council after having been informed of the facts in the case. Bids will be opened on Dec. 20. Whitewater, Ind. The influenza has broken out again.
