In Canadian Army
MEMBER OF THE MOUNTED RI
FLIES AND EXPECTS TO GO TO
WRITES LETTER TO
A FRIEND HERE.

Earle Curtwright, who left Americus
year or two ago, and who has num-
erous relatives in this city, where he
was reared, is, as far as known here,
the first Sumter county man to enlist
in any of the foreign armies fighting
against the Germans. Cartwright Is
the Canadian Mounted Rifles, stationed
at Hamilton, Ontario, and in letter to
J. C. Speer, received here yesterday
he says he is delighted with the pros
pect of going across" to fight against
the Germans in defense of democracy.
Cartwright, who entered the Canad-
ian service only after he had been re-
jected as physically unfit by United
States military authorities, says the
people here cannot realize the gravity
of the situation confronting the world
as a result of the, kaiser's scheme to
place himself on a pinnacle as auto
cratic ruler of the universe, nor the
horrors Of the war itself, until they
have seen some of the sight that are
ordinary ones in Canada today. Young
men, he says, lots of them. minus
arms and legs, and many totally blind
are returning weekly from Europe to
their homes in Canada, and the condi-
ton of these men is such as to inspire
all who see them with the desire tC
enlist and fight for the cause of uni
versal liberty.
Cartwright says he expects to be
ordered to France at any time, ant
is anxious for a chance to go at the
Teutons.
