CRIPPLED AVIATOR HAS BEEN IN HOSPITAL FOR FOUR YEARS.
Dorsey Adams, brother of Hill and Cecil Adams, of this city, a member of the expeditionary forces during the world war, has seen exciting times, suffered bodily injuries, and is not apt to forget his terrible experiences as long as he lives.
When the United States entered the war Mr. Adams volunteered his services to the country. He was assigned as a mechanic in the aviation corps., and transferred to France. He was there with different air scouts and had a chance to see several of the heaviest battles, and horrible carnage, and had, as may be believed, hundreds of narrow escapes from being shot or otherwise killed. At last, when landing, the plane he was in turned over, and he received a severe injury to his spine, which left him a cripple.
He was cared for in a hospital in France until after the armistice, when he was brought back to the United States. His recovery was very slow, and it seems that his horrible experiences preyed upon his mind and made him almost a nervous wreck, which state was super induced by the injury to his spine . Naturally his relatives and friends felt very down hearted over his sad plight , but since being removed to a new hospital they are glad to hear that he is improving and able to walk about with the assistance of crutches. It is to be hoped that the improvements will be rapid and continuous. He has suffered much for his country and deserves to have the balance of his days spent in health and happiness.
