KENILWORTH POLICEMAN CATCHES BURGLAR TRIO Clement Ley, motorcycle policeman for Kenilworth, while riding on Sher- idan road Wednesday: night captured three burglars attempting to force entrance into a fruit. and ice cream stand on the lake frgnt at Sheridan road and Chestnut street. The men were given a hearing Thursday morn- ing and later confined in the County jail to await hearing before the grand jury. g The confectionery stand is conduct- ed by M. L. Sparr, manager of the Village theater. fila at the | A remarkable book, made up of the diary and letters of one of the Win- netka men who gave their lives in the great war, has recently been publish- ed by A. McClurg in Chicago. It is called "Dinsmore Ely, one who Serv- Through reading this book one comes to love and homor the boy who wrote it. There is the spirit of pure American enjoyment of living, com- bined with a lofty idealism that makes it ring true throughout. Dinsmore Ely was the son of Dr. and Mrs. James O. Ely of 'Winnetka, and was killed while flying over the Montdidier sector"in France. One sees Dinsmore as he starts out on board ship in New York. He describes his whole trip in detail; the seeing of spouting whales and mis- taking them forsubmarines;the pass- ing through. the danger zone with its stray crates and spars and car- cases of horses from wrecked ships; the sighting of a real submarine, and the zigzagging out of its path; and finally landing in France. He then tells of his joining the Lafayette Flying Corps of the French Foreign Legion, and of his training for aviation. His descriptions of trips in the air are vivid and fascin- ating. Here is an extract -from a des- cription of his first trip: "Sitting in the long, dragon-fly body, there was a moment to think. | Then the pilot gave the signal for the blocks to be taken away, and like some animal the machine snorted and quivered as if unable to realize it was released. Then there was a bound; a crashing roar of wind passed my helmet; a blurr of ground as we sped along the turf; and then suddenly the vibration stopped. The ground flew away beneath, and we mounted. I had thought to see things diminish gradually, but the earth fell away. We skimmed 'a grove of trees. I glanced up at the pilot to see how he controlled, amd when I looked down again I noticed a team of white flies drawing a match along a crayon mark. It Was a team of horses on a country road. Then the sense of speed was lost and we seemed to be drifting along like a cloud." Page after page of letters and ex- tracts from his diary show his life in France as those of us.who had to stay home have longed to know it. One tives there with him. One goes through the cathedrals and shops; visits Paris and the little villages; rides through the clouds; -goes-to-tliem hospital with bronchitis; enjoys the candy sent from home and his French godmother. When he writes to his young brother, Robert, to whose education he dedicated his insurance, one realizes something of Dinsmore's cleanness of mind and body. Im one letter to Beb he says, for instance: "Vulgar stories will keep you from becoming a strong man; once in a while you cannot help listeming to them; never remember enme, never tell one under amy condition, and people will learn to know you as a boy with a clean mind. Liquor will keep you from having a happy home; never touch it. Smoking will keep you frem being as strong amd healthy as God meéant you to be ... Swear if you must, smoke if you want to after you are a man, but for goodness sake, do not do it im erder to be a man or because other boys do it. If you cannot be a man you can't be a man with it . . . . If every American has to return to the United States and start producing, raising, and training soldiers for the next fifty years to beat the Ger- man, we'll thrash them, by God, if it leaves America a desert and Ger- many a hole in the ground." Before he went aloft for his final flight he seems to have had some premonition of the fate that awaited him. He had been up in a balloon a few days before in the silence and emptiness of the upper air. He says: "I had never realized the air was so empty and so still . . . As the sun be- @an to rise and the mist clear. the firing becanve intermittent, and finally ceased, and the appalling silence scemed to bear us skyward with its pressure. I shivered. I wonder if the soul shivers as it leaves the earth in search of peace.. I think I should prefer to have my soul stay down in the warm earth with my body and the kindly reaching roots and flowers and all the ants and friendly worms than float up in the everlasting si- lence." And then he ends his letter with this: "And I want to say in closing, if anything should happen to me, let's have no mourning in spirit or in dress. Like a Liberty Bond, it is an. investment, not a loss, when a man dies for his country. It is an honor to a family, and is that the time for weeping? I would rather leave my family rich in memories of my life than in sorrow at my death."
