LITTLE GIRLS
MANNED BY GERMANS ARE SEEN
BY SOUTH DAKOTA BOYS.

Aberdeen, March GA few min
utes after disembarking at a French
port a unit of South Dakota soldiers
were greeted by three little Belgian
girls, victims of German atrocity.
Holding up their arms they came run
ming up to the Sunshine Sammies,"
crying Belgium, Belgium. One girl
had both hands cut off, another had
an arm off at the elbow and the third
had all the fingers on both hands off.
When you read about such things
you don't realize it but when your
own eyes see Ii a shudder passes all
over you and somehow or other the
war takes on a different aspect. Then
you begin to realize more what you
are fighting for"
Thus writes a lieutenant of the for
mer Fourth South Dakota infantry, to
relatives in Aberdeen. War is
real" he continues, 1T is a big mans
game, no time now for fools play
here.
I'VE are all getting the fever to go
to the front and get a whack. It's so
hard to be held back"

STARTS fire
A FIREBUG SAID TO BE AT WORK
AT HARTFORD.

Hartford, March 6.-There are evil
dences that a dangerous "firebug" is
operating in Hartford. His latest ex-
plot was to make an unsuccessful
attempt to burn the Aulwes pool hall
building. A partially burned box of
matches and a quantity of combusti-
BILE refuse was found under a shed
at the rear of the building. All the
buildings in the block are of frame
and had the fire got a good start the
block would have been swept clean.
Some months ago a number of mail
sacks containing mail which had tenn
porarily been left on the Omaha de-
pot platform awaiting their transpor-
tation to the p~ostoffice were destroy
ed by fire of mysterious origin. 1t
is believed the person responsible for
that fire also attempted to destroy
the rool hall and adjoining buildings.
The authorities are making a thor
ough investigation and hope to arrest
the firebug before a disastrous fire
is started by him.

lows: w. III. Geister, sheriff of

born, and DR.. Avery, of Primghar;
Oscar Haverly, Fred Eisenberg and
George Hendrickson, railroad men of
Sanborn. The three railroad men
testified that Chase had repeatedly
said that he would not enter the army
until he had to and that he would
shoot his foot off il it became neces-
sary in order to evade the draft.
He will be arraigned before the
federal grand jury in May.

YOUNG SOLDIERS
TAKE PHILOSOPHIC VIEW OF
LIFE IN THE ARMY SERVICE.

San Francisco, March 6.-"Getting
which many young civilians are seek
ing to achieve, has developed many
overnight philosophers.
A youth accustomed to get up and
go to bed when he pleased, and to
spend the day on the same sort of
schedule confided to a friend here
recently that it all depended upon the
point of view.
When / hear that bugler blowing
reveille at 5:45 a. m. it doesn't get
on my nerves a bit" he said. Il think
to myself, isn't it great to have a man
hired to tell you when to get up in
the morning and that makes it good
sport.
When / see my captain going up
the street, | reflect that I'm in the
care of more experts and specialists
than l could employ If | were a mil
lionaire, all looking after me, to see
food and am kept in good health.
o top OF ii all, | get paid, and
not a day goes by without a new ex-
perience and a good laugh.
IT'S better luck than | ever ex-
pected to have, and if l a do any
good for my country on top of it all,
I'm ready to do It,"
A young sailor wearing the red
stripe of the engine room in his
shoulder seam has his own ideas of
service.

embarrassed him manifestly and he
