LARSEN HAS THREE
SONS IN MILITARY SERVICE.

Andrew Larsen OF this city. has
three sons in the@Rnilitary service
one In the aviation section. one In
the tank service and one In the ma
Tines. Two of them. William and
Albert are graduates from the Mont
pelier high school. J. william. who
is in the aviation section. was a mem
ber of a class of IL who graduated
on the 9th of this month from the U.
s. School of Military AerouautIcs at
San Francisco, and had the war con-
tinued he would no doubt have been
In France in q short time. Mr.. Lar
sen vreceived group photo OF the
class and they sure were II husky
looking lads.
Albert. who is only 10 years old,
has been driving tank In France
since the first OF October. Before en-
tering the service ne took two terms
In an automobile school at Kansas
City, which especially fitted him for
the duty to which he was assigned
upon his arrival in France.
Miller, the oldest son. Is in the
marine corps. His company had Or
ders to sail for Frances the day that
the armisice was signed. so he will
not get to see active service.
The great grandfather Of these
boys was 3 member OF the Danish
army In 1854 and that year met
death, as did every other member OF
his company. IN an engagement
against the German forces.
1t is quite natural. therefore. that
the lads should be anxious to "gei
crack" at the Huns now. but Il re.
mained for only one of them-Ai.
bert-to have the pleasure of takinl
hand IN the conflict.
