working hard for advancement through
the different classes, and finally to trip
a commission In the navy. He was
loath to accept the appointment,
which was obtained without solicita
tion on bla part, as he wished to stay
abroad until the end of the war. He
waa with the very first troops that
went to France with Pershing.
He waa cited In the debates in con
gress upon the question of lowering
the draft age as an example .of what
a very young man 'could accomplish.
for Heller enlisted In the marine corps
when he was only sixteen and haa just
reached eighteen. ' Consequently ba
carried bis full burden of campaign
and actual combat while he waa seven

that the best kind of fighting could be
done by American youths between tha
agea of eighteen and twenty-one. .
Heller will try for the academy by
Tirtue of a regular congressional ap

youths from the enlisted personnel of

law permits to enter each new class n't

Till year, though the law haa been
In 'effect only a little over a year,
more than fifty, were designated by the
secretary. It was said that one., rea
son why the quota was not full was
that many of the young men In 'the
service refused to leave active dutj
while there was a chance of meeting
Germany either on land or sea. Many
of these spirited fellows will be 'desig
nated for the 'next class. '
Many Well-educated youths entered
the navy and marine corps for the pur
pose of getting Into the thick of.lt, and
are still of the proper age, that Is, be

to an appointment to the naval acad
