er training

From childhood William Williams
had hated nicknames. He was one
of six brothers, all of whom bore
good, sturdy, dignified, old-fashion-
ed names at the time of their chris
tening, but everyone of whom came
to be known, as he grew older, by
an abbreviation-a feeble, mean
ingless monosyllable," His broth
ers may have possessed frivolous or
resentful natures, or an inadequate
sense of personal dignity, but not
so Mr.. William VILLAS. Himself he
could not protect, however much he
suffered and protested; but his chill
dren he thought he could.
He had five sons, His first-born
was named William-easily enough
nicknamed, of course; but wait! The
second son he christened Willard
the third, Wilbert; the next, Wilfred
and the last Wilmot, Among Sc
many Wills it seemed to him safe
and obvious that only the use of the
full name could avert confusion.
Poor, hopeful, well-meaning, un'
imaginative Mr., Williams! His sons
are all big boys now, the reporter re,
cords cheerfully, but they are rarely
spoken of by their intimate friends
otherwise than Bill, skinny, Buck
Chuck, and Kid.

Saw Torpedo Coming.


Missouri boys are answering the
call of their country and the Navy
with renewed enthusiasm this spring
and more than half of the applicants
at the navy recruiting station for a
large part of Missouri, with head
ters in st. Louis, are from the
farms and smaller towns.
1T is remarkable" said Lieut.. F.
NJ. Wilson, commanding officer,
that so many young men from the
country, especially in the Middle
West, should seek service on the
sea. 1t must be the glamour of the
adventure the naval service offers"
There is adventure in plenty for
the men in the navy. A Missouri lad
who enlisted at the st. Louis office
about year ago, passed thru the
city last week and related his expe-
riences on one of the conveys that
was with the Finland at the time
she was torpedoed.
There were "a of us on guard"
| he said, keeping a sharp lookout
for submarines. The guns were full
ly manned and ready for action at a
seconds notice We are especially
alert when traversing the $50 miles
on convoy duty. | was stationed up
in the crows nest, and was thinking
life was pretty dull until someone
sighted a periscope.
There was enough excitment for
anybody as soon as the danger sig
nal sounded, and the guns began to
! bark almost Immediately.
Three airplanes were soaring in
circles over our heads. Presently,
couldn't say how long in minutes or
seconds, our wireless caught the
warning signal fom one of them and
we knew that toredo had been fir
ed. All eyes were strained on the
water to catch its wake. l can tell
you l was excited when 1 saw it
coming straight at us, and 1 felt re-
lieved when our ship was veered
suddenly, and l saw the thing that
was heaving the water would miss
US.
THE torpedo carried far enough,
however, to strike the Finland and
tear a big hole in her. Our guns con-
tinued in action and made it so hot
for theU-Boat that she sank and did
not try a second attack. The Finland
got to port under her own steam,
and the sailors were hailed as he
rOes. I'd willingly go thru the same
experience every trip in order to be
fed and made over as we were there
Nothing was too good for US"
The office in ST. Louis enrolled
more than 900 men from May l to
May 5. An average of about 25 a
day came in from pastmasters. Post
masters are authorized to arrange
for railroad tickets for applicants
who can pass a preliminary examina-
tion for the Navy.

DIGGING TRENCHES AND
STRETCHING BARB WIRE
Made Fritz" Pay Dearly For His
Home-NOw Sleeping In Hay
Lofts With Other Fellows And
The Rats.

Arthur j. Snedeker, former Nc
MILAN student, we'll remembered in
Mexico, son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. O.
Snedeker of near Laddonia, was the
first Audrain county soldier boy
wounded in France. He was struck
by German bullet in the knee, but
has recovered. The Message is per-
mitted to publish extracts from two
of his late letters, as follows, written
to his mother:
Somewhere in France, April g.,
1918.
Dear Mother:
am still living away up in a hay
loft with the other fellow and the
rats. At present we are digging
trenches and stretching barb wire
entanglements. l drove stakes all
day today.
l suppose you have read all
about our last adventure. (Here he
evidently means where the railway
engineers held a mile and half gap
in the line for six days until the
French came up and relieved them
1t was indeed somewhat hiar-rais-
ing, but adventure is the spice of
life. l saved only what clothes 1 had
on my back, my razor, picture or
two and a gun. 1 have not even a
change of socks until we are re-
equipped, which will be right away.
1t is raining every day now, and,
of, my, how muddy. But it makes
digging easy.
1 would sure like to have a good
feed with you, and flop in my good
old bed. Have the frogs begun to
holler yet? They don't do it here.
