was reported killed in action, is now
in the reconstruction hospital at
Fort Des Moines regaining his
health.
Stewart, with his company were
in the fighting of Jiily 18th about
Chauteau Thierry. His company
outdistanced the supporting artillery
but by nightfall the men were sur
rounded by Germans without the
support of American artillery,
"We decided we would fight it out
if every one of us was.,killed," he de
clared in recounting his experience.
"We had a little food and less water.
For four days we held out, fighting
only when we had to and waiting
for a chance to get back or for re
enforcements. I didn't get veryi
- hungry but the lack of water made it
tough. Scouting around the second
night one of the men found a well
but we didn't dare drink the water
for fear the Germans had poisoned
it Most of our casualties were
from the German artillery fire. We
spread out and took advantage of
every possible projection v but they
had our number and it just naturally
rained steel around there most of
the time."
Late in the afternoon re-enforcements
advancing found what was
left of Company F.
"We were just about r 11 in," said
Private Stewart. "Some of the nun
had attempted to get back but nost
of them wert killed by the artillery
fire and w. never heard of a lot
more that left us there."

AMENDMENTS TO
CONSTITUTION
BOTjlGARRIED
Seventy-two Counties Show
Propositions Receive 5,000
Votes More Than Nec
essary to Win.
From a Staff Correspondent

That both amendments to the con
stitution of the state, the first relat
ing to alien voters and the second
f .r a constitutional convention, have
carried in the face of unofficial re
turns obtainable is shown by the
fact that 72 of the 93 counties of
the state show a total vote on Unit
de States senator of 185,573. These
same counties show that this is
about 5 per cent less than the total
vote cast, which would make the
total vote about 195,0001
In these counties the alien amend
ment received 103,347 votes, while
the constitutional convention ques
tion received 102,058. In order to
insure the adoption of the amend
ments, on the vote shown above in
these counties the affirmative vote
w-uld have to be about 97,500. The
alien amendment has received 5,800
more than necessary, while the other
amendment has 4,500 more than re
quired to carry it
It is not belived that the 21 coun
ties remaining will make any dif
ference to the result. v
The returns so far, which include
the soldier vote on the above, also
show that Douglas coixhty cast a
total of 21.463 votes on United States
senator, 13,852 for the alien amend
ment and 14,646 for the constitu
tional conven -on. I ancaster coun
ty cast 10,966 votes for United States
Senator, 7,353 for the alien amend
ment and 7,251 for the constitution
