cept the invitation extended by the
officers of the Y. NJ. G. A. to go to

that he expected to see him tomorrow
Mathewson said he had definitely
decided that he can do more good on
this side by helping the government

and otherwise in a financial way than
by going over to France to play bas
ball with the soldiers. He said that
the soldiers need no one to teach them
baseball. but that he is willing to
make any sacrifice for the cause and

his home. But his mind was on the

the efforts Of W. III. Dorsey, Amer'-
can consul at Quebec, that the boy
was located at Camp Lewis and again
returned to the home, where MS ahA-
ious parents awaited him.
| Seeing his determinatidp, the pa
rents wisely entered into the boys
plans for military life and attempt
ed to get him into the American
Army or Navy. The authorities re-
fused in each case to waive the min

while acknowledging his perfect
physical attainment, which despite
his youth surpassed a large percent
McGuire's consent having been gain
ed for him to try again with the Ca
madam army, his father. who was
away from home, sent the boy money
for his transportation to Boston with
instructions to enlist at the Canadian
and British recruiting station at A
Bromteld street.
This course was taken to avoid
another clash with British Vice Con-
SUI Heating Of Portland. who made
the case memorable by published
correspondence with the boys father,
when the second attempt was made
to get him back home.
Major Bedford said that when the
Canadian authorities saw young Nc
Guirc there for the third time, they
thought it had become a habit and
regarded it as inevitable that he
would go over. When they learned
that it was with the consent of his
parents that he had come they con-
graduated him warmly upon his de-
termination and placed him with the
unit with which he is now serving.
He enlisted for the third time in Jan
uarv last.
Major Bedford says that Private
Mcclure is an exceptionally preco-
cious young man. Well balanced in
his judgments and very observant,
with gray blue eyes that look right

officers and men of his company and
happy now that his ambition is at
