fore. He received financial aid which
enabled him to shift his course in life
and take turn for the better.
AS soon rs war was declared, al
though he had become an American
citizen, he enlisted in British regi-
ment and came to England. He was
at the battle of Antwerp, and there, af-
ter watching the work of enemy airs
planes, reached the conclusion that air
planes would decide the war sooner
or later.
To get out of the army was not an
easy task. He did it by insubordina-
ton, and when sentenced to be shot
produced his American citizenship pa
pers and said that he didn't think the
authorities would kill him. They
didn't. They paid very little attention
to his claim that he had committed a
breach of discipline for the sole pur-
pose OF employing his talents In n more
effective way to the service of his
country. He was sent back home with
a black mark against him, filed with
chagrin, but glowing with confidence
that he could manufacture airpIanes
on big scale and be factor In the
determination of the world struggle.
He had not a cent. He had no
friends who could help. His parents.
quite naturally, turned deaf ear to
his overtures for aid. His first step
was to go to the war office and. as he
laughingly says, with true American

"Oh! Is that so? Then you are jusr

Mr.. Whitehead took the owner of the
building to the aforementioned hotel

him of his airplane dream, and
