 Paul Colon, one of the local boys in the service of Uncle Sam, is home on tiVe-day furlouSh. Colon enlisted in the navy eight months ago and after training was assigned to a transport. He has been over and back three times.
 On his last voyage over Colon, ac- companied by a few other sailors, was in luck to be present in a small town in France when General Pershing was there and gave an address to about 10000 of his troops In his talk Gen. eral PerShing commended the boys on their bravery and said that they had not even begun to fight yet but were just looking over the situation in preparation for a "clean-up," as he expressed it. When Colon and a party of sailors were in a French port on a few days rest they took a trip up near the firing line and heard the boom and roar of the cannons in the distance. This was while the battle of Chateau leaving port an experience was en- joyed by the crew of. the transport A Zeppelin was soaring peacefully up in the clouds over the bay when sud denly a French airman was seen to dart from somewhere in the sky and swoop up under the airship. A steady hum of a machine gun was heard by all the thrilled spectators, then the big balloon pitched forward and landed in the harbor few hundred feet away from the sailors.
 In relating a few of his experiences here Colon said that he thought he understood a little of human nature while he was living in Berlin but says hp ho iII t0 INoo ing is. He stated that he has watched hundreds of boys come into the serv- ice and settle down to the new order of things almost as though it were in the natural course of events and he says this uncOmplaining spirit is a genuine sacrifice.
