Many Offers Young Men
Splendid Opportunity
In Enlisting Driue

An opportunity seldom equalled is
now being offered by the United
States Navy in new, great drive,
recently offered. It allows men to
enroll in the Naval Reserve Force
and remain on inactive duty for an
indefinite period.
Advices to this effect have just been
received from Lieutenant George A.
Treadwell, of the Minneapolis Recruit
ing interests in Minnesota and North
Dakota. Inactive duty, the dispatch
indicates, allows men to remain at
home or at their respective occupa-
tions, sometimes for months, before
being called. While no definite time
can be set for the calling of new re-
cruits into active service, the probab-
ilities are that men who enroll now
will not be called before fall.
The new order does not exclude
draft registrants. All men in the
draft who secure certificates from
their local boards to the effect that
they are not required to fill any cur
rent quotas of the national army, are
eligible. All branches of the Navy are
open with the exception of aviation
mechanics.

GENERALLY PAYS TO "STICK"
Man Who Is Constantly Changing Jobs
Is Not Usually an Employee Of
Special Value.

A Kansas editor complains that no
body sticks" in these times of plenty Of
Jobs for all. The statement is too sweep
Ing, says the Portland OregOnian, but
there is truth in it. A good many do not
"stick" who ought to do so. They
ought, in the first place, to cultivate
the habit of sticking. Some day jobs
may not be so common, and it will sur
prise some of the wandering ones to
find that they have not learned enough
about any one trade to make il,.:n va
liable to any employer. The
Who is doing one thing t..
other the day after tOmoli ,r-
looking the chance to estab,i sell
In career, and he is breetiin:; iii him
Self the spirit of dissatisfaction which
will make it hard for him TO be happy
In all the years to come. Nothing can
be said against quitting one job for a
better one; ambition ought to he en-
couraged; but the worker ought to be
sure himself that the change is for the
letter and not merely for the sake Of
Change. Employers nowadays know
how great is the loss to industry re-
sultmg from mere aimlesSness.

guess, for when we were half dressed
he looked at his watch and it was only
a quarter past seven, but we decided
to stay up, since we were that far
along, and then go down and cruise for
a breakfast.
When we got downstairs and found
some of the hotel people it took them
a long time to get it through our heads
that there had been some real excite
ment during the night. The explosions
were those of bombs dropped by a
Zeppelin, which had sailed over the
city.
The first bomb had fallen less than
two hundred yards from where we
slept. No wonder the bed rocked! It
had struck a narrow three-StOry house
around the corner from the hotel, and
had blown it to bits. Ten people had
died later The bomb tore fine hole
and hurled pieces of itself several hun
dred yards. The street itself was
filled with rocks, and number of
houses were down, and others wreck
ed. When we got out into the street
and talked with some army men we
found that even they were surprised
by the force of the explosion.
We learned that the Zepp had sailed
not more than five hundred feet above
the town. Its motor had been stopped
just before the first bomb was let go,
and it had slid along perfectly silent
and with all lights out. The purr that
we had thought was machine guns,
after the eighth explosion, was the
starting Of the motor, as the Zepp got
out of range of the guns that were be-
ing set for the attack.
The last bomb had struck in large
square. It tore a hole in the cobble-
stone pavement about thirty feet
square and five feet deep. Every win
dow on the square was smashed. The
fronts of the houses were riddled with
various sized holes. All the crockery
and china and mirrors in the house
were in fragments.
Not much more than an hour before
| the Zepp came, we had been sitting in
a room at the house Of the local mill

CHAPTER viii.
On Runner Service.

one night man named Bartel and
| were detailed for runner service and
were instructed to go to Dixmude and
deliver certain dispatches to a man
whom I will call tie burgomaster and
report to the branch staff headquar-
ters that had been secretly located in
another part of town. We were to
travel in an automobile and keep a
sharp watch as we went, for .Dixm,de
was being contested hotly at that time
and German patrols were in the neigh
bOrhOOd. No one knew exactly where
they would break out next.
So we started out. from the third
line trenches, but very shortly one of
our OutpOsts stopped us. Bartel car
ried the dispatches and drove the car
too. so it was up to me to explain
things to the sentries. They were
convinced after bit of arguing. Just
as we were leaving message came
over the phone from our commander,
telling them to hold us when we came.
1t was lucky they stopped us, for 9th
erwise we would have been out of
reach by the time his message came.
The commander told me- over the tele-
phone, that if French flag flew over
the town the coast would be clear; If
Belgian, that our forces were either
in control or were about to take over
the place but that German patrols
were near. ffter s-is we started
again.
When we had passed the last post
we kept sharp lookout for the flag
on the pole of the old fish market, for
by this we would get our bearings
and perhaps, if il should be German
flag, timely warning. But after we
| were down the road a bit and had got
clear we saw a Belgian flag whipping
around in a good, strong breeze. But
| while that showed that our troops or
| the British were about to take over
| the place it also indicated that the
| Germans were somewhere near by.
| Which was not so cheerful.
AS we went through the suburbs
along the canal which runs on the
edge of the town we found that all
the houses were battered up. We
tried to hail several heads that stuck
themselves out Of the spaces between
buildings and stuck themselves back
just as quickly, but we could not get
an answer. Finally we got hold OF
a man who came out from little
cafe.
He told us that the Germans had
been through the town and had shot
it up considerably, killing and wound
ing a few inhabitants, but that shortly
afterward small force of Belgian
cavalry had arrived and driven the
EBoches out. The Germans were ex-
pected either to return or begin bonn
bardment at any moment and all the
inhabitants who sported cellars were
hiding in them. The rest were trying
to get out of town with their belong
ings as hest they could.
On reaching our objective we made
straight for the Hotel de Vile, where
we were admitted and after a short
wait taken to the burgomaster. We
questioned him as to news, for we hac
been instructed to pick up any infor
nation he might have as to conditions
But we did not get much, for he coulc
not get about because Of the Germans
who had made it policy to terrOr1ze
the peu.l le of the town.
