BOY is ANXIOUS TO FIGHT
"Soldiers of Sea" to See
Quick Service.

Harold Letcher of New York was
anxious to fight for Uncle Sam al
though he is only fourteen years old.
He applied for enlistment at the New
York marine corps recruiting station.
Although but fourteen years of age,
he weighs 151 pounds, is five feet ten
inches tall and has a chest measure
ment of 1914 inches.
"You see," Harold said, IT want to
do my part. I'm big enough and l
want to join the marines-they're the
kind of fellows / like. They get to
fight first"
He was rejected on account of his
extreme youth for military service

are said to have been part Of the
labor element that failed to secure
control of the Ajo camp and to have
been bitter in their attitude toward
their more conservative partners. A

by the action Of Bach and Wilson In
locating for themselves extensions of

had been working. Fredericks, a new

Forests In 10 States.

State forests with a total of over
100000 acres have been established
in 13 states. OF these New York has
the largest forests, which comprise L.
$4,000 acres; Pennsylvania is second
with 1,0S0,000 acres, and Wisconsin
third with 100000 acres.

Over hats that show little or no

Circular wells are much used for this
purpose. The braided portion Of each

back into Its element and leaving Ony
a wide space Of worried waters.
These sights alone should be enough
to throw fear Of mines and their aw.
fulness into the men who daily hunt
them, yet at least half those in the cap
taln's trawIer had been engaged In this
work for 20 months with little respite
sailing 10 or ~ hours every day over
water that they knew contained sud
den and frightful end.
In the course Of the next few
hours our feet swept up and de
stroyed other mines with the same
hardy, unrelenting courage, until their
allotted course was safe for the pass
age Of ships, whose comlngs and go,
ings must not for one hour be delayed
II England is to fight successfully
against an enemy who knows no rules
of war whose fiendlsh ingenuity knows
no limits.
Captains Word Home.
The declining sun saw our little fleet
back in harbor. The captain, having
finished writing g detailed report OF
the operations. glanced lovingly at his
wife's picture on the wall of his little
cabin and took up his pen to let her
know he had come safely through an
other day of peril.
The following morning the CORE.
spondent had an opportunity to OBJ
serve from the air just what an infinite
sinai portion of the North sea he had
sailed over on the previous day. In
powerful seaplane, the body of which
had been constructed in America,
manned by a pilot and observer, we
rose from the harbOr and circled high
above the sea. We gazed upon fleet
of tiny craft, scores of them, proceed
ing In pairs.
Looking down upon the entire area
patrolled by vessels from one harbor
gave one the impression that England
was tackling a well-nigh impossible
task to keep her whole gigantic coast
line cleared of German implements Of
destruction, yet the organization does
its work thoroughly.
After a few minutes flying one OF
our two motors broke down and we
began a series of gyratlons which al
most cost us our lives.
Saved at Eleventh Hour.
We shot downward toward some
buildings. The pilot regained control
Just In the nick of time and cleared
high factory chimney. We circled
again, then side slipped and skinned
over q row of two-story houses. Then
by a supreme effort of both pilot and
observer they swerved the machine to-
ward the harbor. The machine dipped
toward a pier slashed off flagstaff
and landed with a heavy jolt on the
water.
Such incidents are not uncommon
for flying men. By iron nerve and per-
feet composure they save themselves
daily from sudden death.
Like every other branch of the naval
service, they hope that Americas entry
into the war will be whOlehearted,
that her ships of every description,
light vessels capable Of
sweeping mines, her airplaneS and her
skilled men will be thrown into the
fight against this greatest of TeutoD
menaces.

termination to Redeem Nations
Public Obligations.

Imminence of United States govern
ment borrowing which, if all the con-
templated bonds were put out, would
increase our public debt to six times
its present magnitude, suggests some
reminiscence. The story of rise and
fall in the public debt, on various oc-
casiOns in the 125 past years is of a
character which has never been dupli-
Gated by any other government.
Broadly summarized, our national in
terest-bearing debts has fuctuated as

What this table shows first of all is
the determination of the American
people to redeem their public debt, no
matter how large that debt may grow.
1t was practically wiped out in 1885,
when the federal government actual
ly began to distribute it's surplus rev.
enue to the states. 1t was cut down
three-fourths in the 20 years after the
Civil war. But it would be much
more than twice as large as ever be-
fore, with $5,000,OO0,0O0 of war bonds.
Great Britain's public debt rose in
the Napoleonic wars from $1,944, ,O0O,-
600 in 1897 to $4,500,00O,0O0 in 1916.
By 1896 it had been reduced to $3,2OO,-
100000. When the present war broke
out, it was $3,5OO,OOO,OO0; today it is
approximately $15,O0OO0O,000.
