SPIRITED ENTHUSIASM OF
BOYS Is TO q MAKES
THEM BEST SAILORS

We've got them buffaloed" This
slangy phrase used so often on the
other side of the Atlantic by the boys
of our Navy fighting the U-boats, apt
ly tells It's own story of how the
spirited enthusiasm and pep" of boys
under 81, makes them the best fighters
in the Navy.
This was the encouragement given
a contingent of IS Navy recruits yes
terday at the St. Louis Recruiting Sta
ton by Lieut.. Commander Shane as
they appeared for departure to train
ing stations, nearly every one of whom
was under 81.
Over there in the naval war zone,
he said, life aboard the rolling des-
troyers engaged in their ceaclcss hunt
for U-boats means a strain that the
older men do not stand so well as the
more adventuresome youths. It's
their eternal cup and at 'em" spirit
that keeps them no edge, and net only
makes them the best sailor for Uncle
Sam, but wins quick promotion for
them as well.
More than 5000 recruits have been
accepted at the St. Louis station since
May LIST, and of these 60 per cent were
under twcaty-one.
Lieut.. Commander Shane command
cd the Neptune, one Of the first ships
to go across Immediately after we
declared war, and he told the boys Of
an incident op this trip which indie
ates the deep-rooted activities of Ger
man spies in this country at the time,
and he admonished the boys to keep
eyes open and mouths shut while in
the service.
The Neptune received orders to pro-
coed TO the war zone with a cargo ex-
tremely valuable to the Allies. The
Germans intercepted these orders in
some way and stationed a U-boat in
the war zone to await the Neptune.
While waiting its orders from the
British, the Neptune received mes
sage signed by British patrol asking
for the Neptune's position. Comman-
der Shane would have never revealed
his position to anyone, and did not an
swer the request ever though it was
repeated four times. Finally, in des-
peration, the sender asked, "Did you
understand" The Hun operator
spoiled his own game by bad spelling,
but later Shane learned that Span
ish merchant vessel had been sunk
five miles away from his position, by
the U-boat that was trying to get the
Neptune.
