They had been swccthcarts n long

States declared war Siebold was told
that he must enlist and did so promptly
in the army. But n training camp was
as near as he came to the western
front. The armistirc brought no change
in the heart of Miss McAllister. She
must have a fighting husband.
So they learned that the United

with the promise that he would be
