They tell story about Eddie Near

an American warship, which goes to
show the intense natural rivalry be-
tween the various branches Of the
American military service.
1t seems that Nearing's ship was
being held up at French port some
time ago and that the members Of the
crew. including Nearing, were allowed
to take jaunt to Paris. There, in
their meanderings. they met up with
members Of the crew Of another Amer
lean vessel which boosted of Joe Bor-
rell, a former Philadelphia middle
weight.
The argument regarding the respec-
tive merits of Borrell and Nearins
waged heavy between the crews, until
finally 1t was arranged that the two
boxers would meet to settle the dis
pute. Nearing was not on hand when
the discussion arose but that did not
matter to the gobs. He was signed
up by proxy to battle Borrell.
On returning to the vessel Nearing
was notified by the captain that q
match had been arranged for him.
"Who's the guy I'm to- meetT asked
Nearing.

answered the captain. II don't remem-

sur real position was to the right Of
where tie artillery was. and that there
were three lines Of trenches with
French infantry In them. 30 the
trenches I had come from were more
Ike outposts than anything else, and
were cut Of. I felt pretty sure, then,
that the boys In them would never
come back alive, because a. soon a.
their IRE let up the Turks would ad-
vance. and to keep them back our guns
would have to Wipe out our men, and
II they did not, the Turks would. At
first I was glad I had come out. but
then I remembered what the artillery

have to 80 back and stay with them
