Venable is a previous-service man.

army during the war, -and his com
pany had received orders to embark
overseas when his parents complain
ed to the war department that their
son was only II years of age. They
stated he did not give his correct age
when he enlisted and thus demanded
his discharge from the army. The
discharge was granted and the boy
forced out of the army.
Army life is very pleasing to me-
and I'm determined to get into the
