WOUNDED SLIGHTLY. Corporal E. H. Moody, Tiptonville, Tenn. Relatives of Private Henry J. Kaspar, an American ambulance driver, were pleased but not surprised to learn yesterday that he had been recommended for decoration for bravery in France. "We knew he would win honors. He was fearless even back in his schooldays," said his brother, Frank J. Kaspar, proprietor of a grocery at 3414 West Twenty-sixth street. "He is only 23, but he has been all over the United States. He was a motor car salesman." For fourteen days Kaspar remained on constant duty, driving his car through terrific shell fire to aid fallen fighters at the front . Finally he was wounded and was taken to a dressing station. As he lay on the dugout floor he heard another ambulance driver report his inability to continue. He ripped the bandages from his eyes, took the other man's place and made two more trips before exhaustion compelled him to cease. Three sisters of Kaspar, the Misses Victoria and Helen, and Mrs. Frank Hermanek, live at 6537 University avenue. His parents are dead. Captive Captures Captor. Private John P. Kaulen of 510 South Leavitt street, was on duty in a listening post in No Man's land. He was surprised by three Germans, who overpowered him. Six more Germans ran to their assistance. They were forcing Kaulen toward their lines when he shouted for help and his comrades responded with hand grenades and rifles. The Germans dropped to the ground, their leader keeping a firm grip on Kaulen, who struggled and finally succeeded in dragging the German back to the American lines. The prisoner wore two medals and his identity tag bore the name of Sergt. Maj. Steuer of the Eighty-third Saxon regiment. He died the next day. Kaulen's father, Peter Kaulen, was born in Germany and came to America to escape oppression. The boy was formerly a baker in the shop of his uncle. Hubert P. Kaulen, Halsted and Adams streets. Lost in Ship Crash. Joseph M. Farley, fireman, reported lost yesterday in the sinking of the United States ship Wakiva in a collision in European waters, was a son of Thomas Farley, a policeman, of 2712 North Racine avenue. Farley was 23 years old and enlisted at Great Lakes last September. The name of Corporal John J. O'Mara was carried in the casualty list yesterday as severely wounded. His address was listed as 111 West Forty-third street. No one of that name could be found there. REPORT PUBLISHED MAY 26, 1918 ============================= KILLED IN ACTION. CORPORAL ROBERT E.
