SERGEANT REESE
SURPRISE
DENVER BOY AT CAMP
KEARNEY TELLS OF 1T.
Says II Feels Bit Queer to Be Army
Boss Over Men Much Older
Than He; Fine Work Train
ing TO Fight the Kaiser.

Sergeant Floyd f. Reese, Company
c. l57th infantry, Camp Kearney, San
Diego, Cal. writes to Denver relatives
to tell of his recent promotion from n
private. Sergeant Reese was en-
ployed on the Times in the monotype
machine department when he enlisted.
and is a son-in-law of Fred Chilson of
the News ad room. Reese is not yet
10 years old, and therefore was sur
prised when promoted to sergeant.
Here are some interesting excerpts
from the letter:
81 have certainly been working hard
at learning to be soldier since COM
ing here. Up and going at o'clock
in the morning until o'clock Mt night
Most of our exercising is centered on
trench warfare, bombing, bayonet
fighting, gas attacks, machine gunfire
and trench construction. During the
past week we had nine hours rifle fir
ing each day. Our shoulder muscles
are calloused from the constant
recol of n 35-pound rifle all day
long. The drafts" are picking up the
war game in wonderfully fine style.
None seem grievcd at having been
conscriptcd.
81 have been promoted to sergeant,
but can't understand just why they
selected me when there are so many
older men in my company, and i am
still under 20 1t sure feels queer to
be the army boss over men who are
old enough to be my dad, but | just
tell them what to do and they do it:
they don't seem to mind it bit. |
am awful glad they do observe orders
for ] would hate to throw them in the
guardhousc if they talked back"
Young Reese is the type of Amer
lean manhood which is going to win
this war for democracy.
