 James Duboll of Needham, Mass, is guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs James Grundy this week. MT. DuboIl has done service in both the American army and navy as well as in the British navy. From 1908 to 1912 he was in the American navy From 1915 to 1917. he served in the British navy and since 1917 he has been in the American army. Although he is not the kind of person given to saying so, he could be justified in saying that he got as much out of these years in the line of adventures as anyone could. To begin with he went around the world with the American fleet in China, Arabia, and many other places of which it is the lot of most people to only read about. While in the British navy he went to the Darda- nelles, Norway, Spain, France and Italy. While with this navy his boat was tOrpedoed eight times. In every case he was picked up before reaching land. On one occasion he spent three days in the life boat On another he spent 104 hours on the open sea in a tOat tefOre Icing picked up. On this latter occasion he was without a hat, coat or shoes, so sudden and terrific was the explosion. He spent Washington's birthday and the day following in 1917 in a life boat after his ship had been torpedoed He managed to be discharged from the British navy while in New Orleans After spending a few weeks at home he enlisted in the U. s. Army. It was not long before he was on the firing line across the sea. Some time after being discharged from the army he made a visit to England where he has spent the last four months meeting friends he had made while serving that he had made while serving that coun- try, MT. Duboll prefers the navy to the army. He knows the English soldier and sailor well and found them to e real good fellows in most cases.
 His arms bear many tattoo marks which will always bring back memo ries of the days he spent in those countries where he had the marks put on. All these facts were not easily gathered for MT. Duboll is not of the type that has a lot to say about himself. He is rather one who listens a whole lot but says little. He is an adventurer all through and is now awaiting the turning up of something that may give promise of appeasing this longing.
