men VOLUNTEER
Want to Be Captains
Boys Working Reserve
Over $50 Applications Already Re-
eeived-To Many Will Mean
Financial Sacrifice But Wish to Do
Their Bit to Help Win the War.

Applications have been received at
the headquarters of the Maine Divis-
ion of the United States Boys Work
ing Reserve. from more than $50 men
who want to help in the raising of
war time crops by acting as captains
in the army of the boy volunteers. To
many of these men participation in
the work will mean financial sacrifice;
they are actuated by a desire to do
something toward winning the war
The captain who goes into the field
with squad of boys fills a respon-
sible position. He is comrade, advis-
er and business agent for his young
charges and. at the same time, he is
the farmers friend, because it is
part of His duty to see that the farmer
as well as the boy gets a square deal
Some of the men who have this year
applied for positions as captains
served in the same capacity under the
Junior Volunteer organization last
year Many of the applicants are COL
lege professors and school teachers
The captains whc are selected to
serve in this years campaign will be-
gin work at the training camp in Win
throp. There they will meet the mem
bers of their companies and take part
in the preliminary instruction given
them. Then comes the departure of
the companies. When request is re-
ceived from the farmers of a neigh
borhood for ten or more boys, a COM
pany goes out in answer to the call.
After their arrival at the scene of
their labor, the captain visits the diff
ferent employers and sees that the
boy on each farm is living under suit
able conditions. The captain arranges
with the farmer the amount of pay
the boy is TO receive, which in no case
must be less than 81 day. 1t is also
part of the captains duty to see that
the boy is paid weekly and that the
records Of the payments are properly
kept and the required receipts are
made out. During the season he keeps
constantly in touch with the farmers
and the boys, making daily rips of
inspection from farm to farm.
An important feature Of the cap
tain's work is that of looking after
the health of the boys. If one Of his
charges is i'll he arranges for medical
attendance. Should a boy suffer an
attack of appendicitis, for example,
the captain would see that no time
was lost in getting the patient TO
hospital. The boys parents would be
notified and their wishes followed in
making arrangements for the treat
ment of the case. One of the Junior
Volunteers last year was successfully
operated upon for appendicitis. But
while the care of the health of the
boys is part of the captains work,
the experience of last year showed
that there is little likelihood Of any
considerable amount Of illness among

The weather continues misty and
rainy. There was no infantry action

Germans is becoming more and more

The Americans take nothing foc grant
ed, but return the enemy fire two to
one, which is believed to set new pace
in this sector. What appears to trouble
the Germans most is that the Americans
never turn back when the enemy uses
gas. They give him double dose ct
