YOUNG FIGHTER IS
HOME ON FURL0UGH

! Chief of Conimissary Harry N
Hetzer, of Williamsport, SON of
Frank Ietzer, the wellIknown nur-
seryman, was visitor here today
with his father, being at his old
home on a 30-day furlough after IL
months of active duty on board
lone Of UuIscle Sans convoy
warships in European waters.
While at present holding down the
job of a steward, young Hetzer is a
"frst-cfass lighting man and has
seen plenty of active service in the
regular army and navy. He enlisted
in the cavalry several years ago,
and saw active service in the Phil
ippines and along the Mexican bor-
der before the United States en-
tered the European war He has
been on active duty on a warship
in European waters since that time
Young Hetzer is stocky, broad
shouldered, powerful boy of about
rs years-just the type OF man to
make a most dangerous fighter. He
wears with very pardonable pride
the French war cross, which was
awarded him for a feat of great
heroism, when he went overheard
into the ocean during storm and
saved the lives Of two OF his COM
rades, bringing both men safely to
the. boat at one time. The fact that
he was born and reared at 7 Will
Transport may explain why he is as
much at home in the water as he
is on the deck of his vessel
He has frequently been behind
the fighting lines in France, and:
tells some stories of the fighting,
qualities of Uncle Sam g boys that
make one feel very proud, indeed,
of our Sammies in France. He de-
clares the morale of the American
troops is wonderful, and that they
are eager to get into the very thick.
est of the fighting at all time, and
that nothing but death can stop
them when they get started after
the Huns. He says OUR troops are a
wonderful lot of fighters, and are
amazing the soldiers of the enten-
tie by their GOODNESS, courage, dash
and tenacity.
Young Hetzer also tells some
tales. of Hun atrocities that are un-
printable, but which he declares
came under his personal observa-
ton. He says it is this cruelty and
barbarity of the Huns that cause
the Americans to grind their teeth.
and long for an opportunity to get
into the fighting. He also pays high
tribute to the French troops. and
their love for the Americans, say
ing that in many instances when
an American boy falls beside a
Frenchman, the latter will drop his
own gun and take UP that of an
American to avenge his death with,
the American rifle.

In an article attempting to disparge
the Montana Home Guards the Butte
Weekly Bulletin, a newspaper which
has persistently displayed l. w. w.
leanings, says in part: 1--WE refer
to the bill for armed home guards,
which is nothing more or less than
our old friend the state constabularly
in another guise. Speaking bluntly,
it is nothing more or less than a plan
to legalize the armed thugs and gun
men of the copper interests, and turn
them loose in the community, giving
as the reason that peaceful citizens
need protection" Any attempt to
discredit the home guards by compar-
ing them to the state militia will fall
fiat in this state. We were justly
proud of our state militia boys and we
shall be just as proud of the home
guards, if occasion arises where they
are called upon to protect the lives
and property of our citizens. We shall
not attempt to elaborate on what
Butte needs, but events that have
gone before, prove that some of the
citizens of that city have awakened to
what is needed there without calling
in outside assistance.

The members of the Montana state
legislature served the state we'll dur.
ing the extraordinary session just
passed. The different emergency
measures passed, all contain much OF
merit. The two new laws relating to
seditious speech and sabotage were
sadly needed in Montana and it will
only be necessary to see to it that
they are rigidly enforced to meet any
contingency that may come up. 1t is
certain that the people of Montana
will again stand for the things
that have happened and have been
during the past year. Pas
sage of these very important mea-
sures will undoubtedly save much in
The way of mob violence during the

THE U


A Canadian who enlisted at the
office of the British and Canadian re-
cruiting mission in Chicago last July
is back in the United States with his
honorable discharge says the Chicago
Post. In six months he obtained his
training, reached the front, did his
bit, was wounded and got safely home
again.
That is speedy work. The mission
claims that it proves the shortest
route to the firing line lies through it's
doors.
The reason is that Canada has a
veteran army in the field, and by
means Of its perfected organization is
able to absorb new recruits with
greater speed than an army such as
ours, that is still in the making.
The mission is pushing it's recruit
ing campaign with increased vigor.
The necessity for reinforcing the
allied lines in France and Flanders is
regarded as the supreme considera-
ton in view of the threatening atti-
tude Of the enemy. Great Britain and
France must hold until America is
ready. The men now on the firing
line must be assured that others IRE
coming. If reserves fail before our
army can take it's full part, dis
aster may result.
Negotiations for a convention be-
tween the United; States and Great
Britain, extending the operation Of
the draft to the citizens of either
government within the jurisdiction of
the other, have been proceeding at
Washington, and the hope is that they
will bear fruit within the next three
months. Then nc Canadian ar British
er OF military age and physical fitness !
Will be able to shield himself behind J
alien immunity in America. He will
have " enlist in his own army or be
drafted in ours.
But Major Owen, in command Of
the western division Of the mission,
points out that the mar who enlists
in the Canadian or British army is an
actual addition Of one man to the
fighting forces; whereas the man who
waits to be drafted by the United
States merely takes the place of some
other who would have been drafted
to make up the complement.
Hence The he Britisher who wants to
count Tor n .oere. who wants to
make virtue Of what viii become i
necessity, should enlist at 6ncs.
Americans are directly interested
in facilitating the missions work by
every means in their power. The
stronger we can make the armies of
Britain and Canada the better the
hope that the line will hold fast IN.
til we r able to give the final punch.
If the line is seriously bent or broken
the heavier will be the task confront
ing our army. Indeed, a break in tn
allied line now might result in wipinl
out the force we have already il
France.
