His adventuresome spirit chatting under
the restraint of gruelling drills in a
peaceful military camp in England, while
his brother officers are being swallowed
up in the war gulf, Sterling Larrabee,
Washington boy and American soldier of
fortune, holding a commission as second
lieutenant In the Second Brigade, Brit
ish royal navy, writes to a former school
mate here that his brigade expects to be
in the midst of the fighting, in Belgium
by the time his letter reaches Washing
ton.
Lieut.. Larrabee's letter was dated No
vember s, at Easton, Portland, England,
where he is stationed with his brigade,
which hopes soon to follow the First
Brigade famed for its gallant conduct
in the defense of Antwerp. He closes his
letter with the hsppy-go-lucky message,

The letter was received November p.
and whether or not young Larrabee since
has been hurled into the seething vortex
on the continent, neither his mother nor
his friends know. Since joining the Brit

he was appointed sub-lieutenant, he al

"I'm. Going to Enlist"
Last summer. when the Kaiser began
declaring war on all of Europe, and SOL
dicrs began mobilizing and the newspa-
pers were spreading the tidings of the
war spirit into every home in america,
young Larrabee caught the war fever.
I'm going to enlist" he told his mother.
Several days later he boarded a steamer
at New York and went to Scotland with
the hope of securing a commission in one
of the Scottish Highland Segiments.
The government thanked him for his
offer. but rejected it politely but firmly.
Undismayed by this rebuff, he left i'm
mediately for London, and for more than
a month laid quiet but persistent siege
at the war office. Finally the services of
