After Checkered Career in
Military Service Capt. Box
Won Captains Commission

Captain Thomas Allen Box, Jr., Of
Bismarck, who spent sever weeks go
ing from South Africa to England to
join the olors when the United States
entered the war, is in h city today
with his father, and J. ]. Hastings,
on business matters.
When this country entered the war,
Box and n other were the only Two
Americans in Johannesburg who were
of military age. Both Of the men
sailed Immediately for England where
they made vain attempts to enlist.
Finally Box enlisted in the Foreign
Legion, but oon after had an oppor-
service, SO he discharged" himself
from the legion and entered the serv-
ice of his country as a private.
Charges Of desertion from the For
eign Legion were dropped when it
was learned that he had left to join
the United States army Box states.
Busted by Roosevelt.
One of the most interesting phases
of Box's army career was being
busted" from top sergeant to buck
private by Lieutenant Quentin Roose-
welt. Later when Box had won his
commission as captain, Lieutenant
Roosevelt was in his command.
OF the eighty men who we're in
training With BOX early In n war,
only ten survived. Practically all of
the men in this outfit were Ameri-
cans who had been at the -four cor
ners of the earth" at the outbreak Of
war and answered the call to colors
by going directly to England or
France.
During his service captain Box par
ticipated in practically every impor-
tant engagement of the United States
army. He organized the only Ameri-
can squadron for night reconnaissance.
Nuisance.
Feeling Strong.
Box commented this morning on the
high position held by Americans in
South Africa, who have the esteem
Of the people Of the British colony.
The feeling toward Americans in Jo-
hannesburg before the United States
declared wal On Germany, was very
bitter, according to Mr.. Box.
The resentment was evident on the
streets. in business, in clubs and all
social affairs, according to Mr.. Box.
but was almost entirely altered after
this country entered the world war.
