ANOTHER maine
YOUTH IN BANDIT

1t has just been ascertained that
James A. Rich, son of James Rich, re-
siding at No. 40 Greenville street
Hallowell, Me, is member Of Troop
A. 14th Cavalery, until recently sta
toned at Fort Clark, Texas, but at the
present writing somewhere in northern
Mexico, on the trail Of the elusive
Villa.
Young Rich enlisted at Portland in
July, 1915, since that time he has had
some interesting experiences, and has
seen many strange sights. He is very
enthusiastic concerning the army. and
thinks it a shame that life in the SER
vice Of Uncle Sam is SO little under
stood or appreciated by the average
young man. 1t is far different from
the descriptions that is often heard,
i. is place for real men with an hon.
est desire to improve themselves both
physically and mentally, and at the
same time prepare for the highest
duty and obligation of American citi-
zenship: that of preserving inviolate
the rights and liberties of American
citizens.
Concerning the army and his ideas
CT it, Young Rich writes as follows:
'As a training school for period of
three years it is excellent, and as a
career it offers many advantages to
deserving men, who can be depended
upon at all times, the wages paid in
the army are just as good as the wages
of unskilled labor in civil life, besides
you do not have to work near as long.
have never regretted having enlisted
and | know that l am much better
mentally and physically, than when
first joined. 1 have learned many les
sons that could not be had in any
other place. 1 think that the army is
a fine place for any young man for
| three years. The food is all right and
good enough for anyone"
The one thing that has impressed
him most favorably are the opportuni-
ties offered to all the men to make
good. and the special opportunities to
study and learn some trade, such as
clerks. tailors, blacksmiths, saddlers
etc. Rich is very fond Of horses and
has taken special instruction in horse
tanning.

IF the Germans begin seriously to

the landing of British troops in Hol-

Germany's attitude toward us? We
must assume that she is acquainted
