Homer Mansfield Is
at Last Exempted

After spending four months and
nine days in the national army,
while his aged parents were sup
ported by charity in Tacoma
Homer Mansfield, 23-year-old east
side boy whom Lieut.. Gov. Harris
appeal board refused to exempt
from army service, returned home
Tuesday.
Mansfield received his final dis
charge papers at Camp Kearney,
California, a few days ago, and
started home at once to resume his
support of his mother and father
Hope had been practically aban-
doned that the boy would be re-
leased from service, and his par
ents had settled back to live on
the charity which they would not
have needed had their son remain
ed at home. When out of a clear
sky, the young soldier was notified
by his captain that he was free to
return to Tacoma and go back to
work.
The Mansfield case attracted
much attention in Tacoma last
October, when the youth was call
ed into the national army on the
third quota of the first draft.
Mrs. Mollie Mansfield, his moth
er, is 81 years old, and George
Mansfield, the father. is 60. Both
are physically unable to work.

Fort Flagler Boys
Come to Town

Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock
the Tacoma boys from Fort Flag
Ter marched down Pacific ave-

sides with admiring relatives and
friends, with dewy-eyed mothers
and proud fathers.
From all sides came the COM

And they did. Six months in
the fort under military discipline
has worked wonders for the men.
All them walked erect, with shout
ders squared and a visible pride
of manhood and love of Uncle
Sam in their bearing.
After the Lincoln statue I'M
yelling, there were home dinners
to be eaten, a reception at the
armory and brief military ex-
hibition and later dancing at Ma
sonic temple. Early this morn
ing the soldiers left for the fort.

Meet the Shine Family,
Tacomans

Tacoma Is the proud possessor
OF family Of shining lights, bet
ter known as the Shine family.
eyes, we know that the pun is the
lowest form of wit, but we think
that in this case we are justified.
Read further and see.)
There appeared at the editorial
office a proud father, Patrick
Shine, 1412 So. 52nd St, who had
just taken out Times subscriptions
for four sons, all of whom are
serving in the U. s. navy in differ
ent parts of the globe.
First upon the roll Of honor
comes Maurice Shine, first by
right of seniority, being the old
est in years and service. Maurice
Shine enlisted in 1912 and made
his first trip on the U. S. r. c..
Manning, and served four years,
receiving at the end of that time
an honorable discharge. He re-
enlisted at the outbreak of the
war and Is now company COM
mander at the Mare Island navy
yards.
Next we wish to present Frank,
the next oldest, who is now upon
the U. S. r. c. Rochester, where
he has been serving for the past
three years. He has already made
three trips to France since the
outbreak OF the war, acting on
convoy ships.
Lafayette Shine has probably
had one of the most thrilling Ca
reers of any boy. His most ex-
citing adventure was staged when
his ship was chased for some time
by submarine just off the coast
of Queenstown, Ireland. The sub
chased the ship for some hours but
the Americans finally succeeded in
escaping.
The youngest Of the Shine boys,
Paul, is only 16. He is on the
ship U. S. S. Munw wood.
We asked Mr.. Shine IL he were
not proud Of his four boys, and
he answered, II sure am, but l
would much rather have them
home with me. They say, tho,
that they are going to stay until
the kaiser is licked. I have 4
Mary, too, and she's
only Is but just wild to be nurse
and go to France"
The Shine family has for gen.
erations been a sea-going race.
The boys father was at the life
saving station at the Great Lakes
for several years.
1--WE saved lives, not took them,
there" commented Mr.. Shine dry

"They are a willing bunch .
said Sgt. O'Conner when the cor
net had ceased its punishment of
the quaking atmosphere. "They
won't fight, but they can surely
work"
Sgt. O'Conner sticks up" for
his DIRECTORS. He says his or
ganization isn't much different
from any other, but just the same
its unique outfit"
In some barracks the air some
times is tinted blue with tobacco
smoke and crackles with high
power language. Not so in bar
racks 4. Only few of the OBJ
jectors smoke and none of them
swears. One says grace at every
meal and several hold little pri-
vate church services Sunday morn
ings.
Two of them won't wear olive
drab uniforms and instead have
adopted blue overalls and jump
ers. Two won't accept pay from
Uncle Sam, but on this subject
there is a divergence of opinion.
The two who won't be paid are
Mennonites and there are two
other Mennonites who are glad to
get their thirty per-"
There are Friends, Shakers and
Christedelphians in the outfit
and some Seventh Day Adyentists.
At first there were some warm
arguments in the barracks O.
'ghts but the commanding Of
ficer put a stop to that with an
order forbidding religious discus
sion.
They are good bunch Of
workers." says Sgt. O'Connor,
land at first the other men here
scoffed at them and poked fun
but now they are coming to re-
spect the DIRECTORS. I've only one
regret--that dummed cornet!"

home to support his parents. But
Lieut.. Gov. Hart, head of the
board, utterly refused to reopen
the case.
After Mansfield had gone lnlU
the army, his parents were cared
for by county charity and by the
Red Cross. Members Of the Red
Gross took up the case, and quiet
ly used pressure to obtain the sol
dier's discharge. 1t was undOubt-
edly thru their efforts that the
youth was given final permission
to leave the army.
A month after going to Camp
Lewis, Mansfield was placed IN
the medical corps and transferred
to Camp Kearney. He made an
excellent soldier, and liked the
service.
But l couldn't help worrying
all tne time about my folks at
home, and wondering how they
were getting along" said the boy
today. "If it hadn't been for them,
I'd never have thought of getting
out of the service. They are
fine bunch of men in the army,
and | liked the work immensely"
Mansfield was truck driver
before the draft. He will return
to his job this week.
