WoRLD, WAR
BY : : YARNS

LIEUT.. FRANK (. HACAN

The question Of who fired the first
and last shots In any Of our wars and
when and where they were fred has
always been subject for much dis
pute. So the World war will probably
be no exception and future years prob
ably will see various claimants to
those titles arising. Already mem
bers Of the crew of the u. S. s. Kear-
sarge claim the honor OF firing the
first shot in the World war for Quar-
termaster Holman OF that ship.
On Good Friday. April 6, 1917, the
day that the United States declared
war on Germany. the Kearsarge was
at the Charlestown. Mass, navy yard.
A detail was sent in the naval tug
Iwana To seize the German merchant
ships In East Boston at Long wharf.
They left at 3 80 n. m, crossed the
river, forced the high gate on the
dock and took possession of the ships
From the deck of the Kroonland,
Qnartermaster Holman fired into the
air as signal to the navy yard that
the gobs had arrived and had the stu
alton In hand And, that the Kear-
sarge crew asserts, was ''the first
American shot fired in the World war"
AS for the last shot Lieut.. f. V. X.

prophet In his own country neither
Is the youngster, with whom we play
as lad, generally conceded TO have
money making traits or capabilities
above our own. That was the case In
Lockport when it became known that
Johnny Raskoh had written TO the
owner OF an Ohio city street rail-
way company for job as secretary,
estimating his value at figure that
seemed absurd to those with whom
he had been raised.
j But John Raskob got the job and at
his own price. The man who hired
him was Pierre S. Du Pont, then own
er of the traction system In Lorain,
Ohio. Lockport residents thought
that the youth was lucky In landing
such plum.
Before he left Lockport young Rask-
OBJ had been making $50 month. He
had asked for raise to $40 a week.
When this was refused him he decided
that his talents were not appreciated.
He made up his mind TO seek fields
In which he would receive better
rewards.
So he wrote to friend, young
draughtsman, Sterling Fl. Bunnell by
name, asking him II there was any
opening for him In Lorain. He re-
celved reply that Pierre S. Du Pont
was seeking the right sort of young
man to act as his secretary and aid
In the street railway business.
When John Raskob told his friends
that he had applied for the job and
had asked for salary Of $1,000 a
year they thought at first that he was
fooling. When they were convinced
by tie earnest young man that he
actually had asked for such pay they
were, certain that he wouldn't get
reply even. But they were wrong and
John Raskob was right. He invariably

has been on financial matters ever
since.
The boy who surprised his Lock-
port companions In the matter OF get
ting such big salary was born in
that upstate New York city In 1879.
His father. a solid and substantial
citizen. was In the tobacco business.
John was an average student In
school. His quick smile and pleasant
manner made him popular. He early
showed liking for business and an
aptitude for figures. His father died
when John was In high school. Mrs.
Raskob was left with four children.
The future chairman OF the finance
committee of General Motors didn't
try to complete his education by work
ing in his spare time. He decided that
the sooner he got real job the bet
ter. He realized that he needed spe-
cial equipment to get ahead In the
business world.
He left high school and took COM
mercial course In stenography and
bookkeeping. He buckled down to
his studies and soon qualified to take
dictation and to keep set OF books.
He got job at S. week. That was
considered fair wages for a beginner
In Lockport in those days.
After six months he asked for an In
crease to $3.50 week. His employer
agreed to give it to him, but 1t was
some months before the raise ma
terialized. Following two years work
during which he became an expert
stenographer, an excellent typist and
first class bookkeeper, he asked
for $40 a week. His employer didn't
think the youngster was worth such
wages to him.
That was the turning point In John
Raskob's life. He wrote to Pierre Du
Point and went to work for him In
1900. The next year he represented
his employer as treasurer of street
car line in Dallas, Texas. His sal
airy had been raised to $1,000 a year,
proving to skeptical Lockport friends
that he hadn't thought too we'll OF
his earning capacity after all.
he went to Wilmington, Del. In
1902, as assistant treasurer of the
u. |. Du Point de Nemours company.
Later he became treasurer and then
vice president of the big chemical
concern. Mr.. Du Point Joined him in
buying General Motors stock and John
Raskob soon became the directing f.
nancial genius Of that vast corpora
ton and one OF the country's outstand-
ing business leaders.
