SUICIDE OF A YOUNG SOLDIER
Gainesville SUM

Oneaof the saddest cases coming to
light recently in connection with the
war and enlistment of young Ameri-
cans to fight against the German war
lord, is that of Berry Cason of Cross
City, son of Will Cason and grandson
Of Harley j. Cason, who was a men,
Der of Company L, 124th regiment
stationed at Camp Wheeler, whose
death occurred at his own hands at
Cross City yesterday morning having
blown his brains out with pistol.
Young Cason was allowed three
day furlough home from the Macon
camp while convalescent from
measles, which he contracted at the
camp, and from which, indirectly, so
many deaths have occurred at Camp
Wheeler. His furloughi ending, ne
started back to the cantonment, bur
on reaching Newberry, where he had
to change trains. his condition became
worse, and becoming unconscious, he
was set back home by friends at that
place.
Medical aid was summoned as soon
as the sick boy reached home, and
physicians found him suffering from
acute oncho-pneumonia, contracted
as an aftermath of measles, Da. Will
liams, the attending physician, dis
charged him as cured after several
weeks severe illness, and it is pre-
sumed young Cason notified some of
his comrades at the Macon camp of
his conyalescence from this latter Sc
rious illness, and of his intention of
returning to his duties.
But day before yesterday as he and
his family were making preparations
for his trip in return, he received an
anonymous letter, presumably from
one of his, fellow-soldiers stating that
he had best not return to camp. as he
was posted as deserter, and conse-
quently had been blacklisted by mem
bers of his company.
Young Cason, naturally, turned this
letter over to his father, and the lat
ter straightway became busy getting
|affidavits from the attending physician
and others to the effect that Berry had
been sick and unable to return, and de-
failing the case as it had happened.
But evidently his sickness had weak
ened Berry Cason's mind, for he be-
gam to brood in secret over his sup
posed blacklisting, and yesterday
morning secured a pistol unknown to
any of his family, and slipping back of
his residence blew out his brains, 1eav-
ing not word of explanation for the
deed.
It has been stated by his father
and members of his family that imme-
|diately after becoming sick at New
berry and his return home DR. VIII
Iiams wrote to the captain of the COM
pany, explaining why Berry overstay-
ed his furlough, and although no
acknowledgement of this explanation
was received, so far as we know, it
was understood that his absence had,
thru the letter, been explained sufici-
emily to army officials, and no more
was thought Of the matter until the
anonymous communication was receiv-
ed, which it seems caused the boy, in
his weakened condition, to lose his
wonted grasp upon things mentally,
with the result that he took his own
life.

firing line; first in defensive coast
patrol, then in manning guns on
armed liners, next in the submarine
hunt and finally in conveying ships
and soldiers to France.
That all this has been carried on
without a hitch, when men and YES
sells were being more than duadrupled
proves better than words the eff
cheney Of the department. There has
been absolute coordination and har-
mony.
The navy's work should be consid-
cred under the four heads of home
defense, foreign service, men and
materials.
In home defense a constant patrol
has been maintained Of the Atlantic
coast from Newfoundland to Brazil.
Hundreds of small seagoing craft
had to be taken over for this, manned
by trained navy crews and armed.
Most of these boats had to be over
hauled before guns could be placed
or before they were safe for year
around work at sea.
So thorough is this patrol that a
man who recently made trip from
New York to Washington by water
reported his boat had not, for a
minute, been out of sight of a pa
troll boat!
In addition to this coast patrol,
a battleship fleet made visit to
the Atlantic ports of South America,
so cementing relations between the
United States and Latin America
that Brazil took over the patrol work
from Brazil to Argentine.
Great steel nets have been placed
across the entrances to all important
harbors.
In foreign service, however, the
navy has shown its most effective
work.
In less than one month after the
declaration of war fiotilla of Amer
lean destroyers reported at an Eng
lish port ready for instant duty.
