James A. Wilder, scout commits
5sioner of the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea, from Hawaii, has been lectur-
ing throughout the United States.
BE said the Hawaiian troops quick

cheney. Mr.. Wilder also told the
story of a Honolulu troop made up
of Hawaiian, Portuguese, Spanish
and Japanese boys. This troop gave
n demonstration before Queen Lii
tuokalani, who presented a royal
standard to the troop. 1t is perhaps
the only case where a troop Of

EnEsts in Army
After Exemption
Dairyman Decides He Would
Rattle, Fight Than Farm
for Country.

Some Americans simply can't resist
the call Of the country. and, even
though the district draft board has
been lenient and allowed the claims of
some. they still refuse to abide by the
verdict of the board and choose to en-
list in Uncle SANS Army Such an
one is Michael Walker Keeton, of
Sabot Goochland County. whose case
has attracted the attention OF the peo-
pie in this district and surprised tho
district board since it has been so
careful in granting exemptions on ag-
ricultural grounds.
The employer of keetou filed AMI
davits to the effect that he was en-
ployed as manager OF dairy, ana,
as such. was absolutely Indispensable
to the industrial machinery OF tho
country. After mature .ideration,
the board allowed the claim of keeton.
only TO learn that he desired to with
draw his exemption claim, and had
made known the fact that he had vol
unteered lis services TO the govern
ment in IT, regular army. Keeton said
that he would rather fight than farm.
So far as is known this IS the first
case of it's kind where. after a claim
for exemption had been allowed, the
drafted man decided to withdraw his
claim and join in the active fighting
ranks OF his country.
