Youth Who Fought at Chateau
Thierry Will Enter Naval
Academy.
ENLISTED WHEN ONLY IS

17-More Veterans Will
Probably Be Named.

Annapolis, Md.-A youth who was
in the very thick Of the fighting around
Chateau-Thierry and Belleau Wood
and passed a full year abroad as a
United States marine has obtained an
appointment for the naval academy
and Is in Annapolis preparing for his
entrance examinations next spring.
He is Arthur c. Heller, son of C.
Arthur Heller, an attorney of New
ark, N. j., and is now student at a
naval preparatory school here.
Young Heller is most modest
youth and declines to say anything
about his exploits. He wishes only
to pass his examinations for the acad-
envy and to enter as any other youth,
working hard for advancement through
the different classes. and finally to win
a commission in the navy. He was
loath to accept the appointment,
which was obtained without solicita-
ton on his part, as he wished to stay
abroad until the end of the war. He
was with the very first troops that
went to France with Pershing.
He was cited in the debates in con-
gress upon the question Of lowering
the draft age as an example Of what
very young man could accomplish,
for Heller enlisted in the marine CORPS
when he was only sixteen and has Just
reached eighteen. Consequently he
carried his full burden Of campaign
and actual combat while he was seven
teen. 1t was argued from his case
that the best kind Of fighting could be
done by American youths between the
ages Of eighteen and twenty-one.
Heller will try for the academy by
virtue of regular congressional ap-
pointment. There are quite a number

United States chasers remained and
kept up the defense until 1t was OBJ
vious no more submarines were forth
coming.
1--WE soon got into formation and
under full speed headed out to sea and
picked up the main fleet. The town OF
DurazzO was bombed by planes from
5 a. m. every half hour until after we
finished. The results were as follows:
One big Austrian transport sunk and
two large supply ships; one large
Austrian destroyer and one torpedo
boat; at least four submarines sunk
and one Austrian plane brought down.
Our whole fleet returned intact, with
no casualties, and Durazzo Is no more.
1--WE intercepted an Austrian hos
pital ship and sent boarding party
aboard and found 200 Austrian sol
diers aboard who were wounded dur
ing the early bombardment.
1T appears that some were just
leaving the transport and others were
stationed in the town when they met
their fate. There were a number of
nurses aboard and when they saw the
United States chasers they rushed to
the rail to wave to the American
gObs."
1--WE turned the ship free afterward
and let it proceed back to the Aus

nurses seemed quite pleased at being
made prisoners by the Americans.

Secretary Daniels will be able to
designate the full quota Of a hundred
youths from the enlisted personnel of
the navy and marine corps, which the
law permits to enter each new class at
the academy.
This year, though the law has been
in effect only little over year.
more than fifty were designated by the
secretary. 1t was said that one rea-'
son why the quota was not full was
that many Of the young men in the
service refused to leave active duty
while there was a chance of meeting
Germany either on land or sea. Many
OF these spirited fellows will be desig.
mated for the next class.
Many well-educated youths entered
the navy and marine corps for the pur-
pose OF getting into the thick Of 1t, and
are still of the proper age, that is, be-
low twenty. Any Of these can aspire
to an appointment to the naval acad-
envy through designation by the sec.
rotary Of the navy.
