broke out and Pentz enlisted in the
infantry on the side of the Dutch. He
was SO small that his rifle p1oughed
the ground, and after few minor
engagements he was transferred to
the secret service. This taste Of ad-
venture and the tales he heard OF
America made him want to see this
country, SO as soon as peace made it
possible he took in the sights of the
Worlds Fair in st. Louis. :.
The Russo-Japanese war broke out
next, 50 Pentz enlisted under the
Cars banner to fight the yellow

wanderlust, so he spent the next half
dozen years as fireman on the great
ocean liners, plying every great port
in the world. He served under four
flags, the German, Norwegian, Brit
ish and Swedish. He bears pictorial

in MooseJaw when the world war
happened and again he felt the call
to fight. His unit was the Sixtieth
Rifles from Moose Jaw, a replacement
for the Kings Rifles, which was later
almost annihilated: An alteration

American flag, sent young Pentz to
the guard house. A pal let him escape
