England would be made inn

destroyers and cruisers were
used for convoy work. Our en-

the Axis must face.

u. S. Army's Strangest Recruit
Gets Mustered Out In Hurry

A RMY life is seldom a bed of roses
n for the newly enlisted, but W. T.
Hazlett, of Atchison, Kansas, had a
surprise that would shock even a
more experienced campaigner.
Out on maneuvers withla cavalry
regiment, and encamped near Grand
River, Kansas, Private Hazlett had
attended to his horse and was ready
10 turn in for the night when he re-
membered that his canteen had not
been filed for the next days journey.
Pulling fiashlight from his saddle
bag, he started for the nearby spring.
AS he picked his way among the
troopers lying on the ground under
their blankets, he was hailed by one
who was about to straighten out his
bed and needed some light. Hazlett
Obligingly turned his fashlight on
the blankets.
There, in the comfortable warmth,
was coiled a full-grown copperhead
snake. Without a light. the cavalry

att was luck all through that saved
him." Hazlett said. "My needing
water, taking a fiashlight with me,
passing near this particular man on
the way to the spring-all were pure
chance. I'll take credit, though, for
having the light in my saddlebag and
also for having made sure its batter
les were fresh and in good condition.

General orders direct the men to
remain calm in emergencies and
