Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, O.—
Lieut. John A. Logan, U. S. A., of Cleveland, is one of the few men who have sustained broken necks and is still alive to tell the story of how it happened. The lieutenant is in the base hospital here, and attending surgeons say that he will enjoy life for many years to come, despite the broken neck.
Lieutenant Logan, an aviator, sustained the injury while on duty in France. He went up one day over the Vosges sector and engaged several German planes. A piece of shell from one of the enemy's guns put his motor out of commission and the officer was forced to volplane.
He lost control and had the preference of diving on a house or landing on the ground. He chose the latter, and when he was dragged from the wrecked machine it was found that he had received only a few slight scratches. He rejoined his squadron, being able to walk, but that night his right side became paralyzed. Surgeons made an examination and it was found that Logan's neck was broken.
