Don't miss an issue of fh3 Observer from Peter Kyne To Enlist Oakland, Cal., June 22. (Special) Peter B. Kyne, the noted short story writer, is in a dilemma of duties. Pa triotic urgtasrs call him to the colors on one hand, but on the other is a literary obligation that holds him back. He is engaged on a novel which his publishers are wiring for daily. Just ns soon as Kyne gets the novel off his typewriter, he is going to en list. He hopes to be able to enter the next reserve officers' training camp at San Francisco Presidio in August. When Kyne quits the pen for the sword, he will be the guest of honor at a banquet to be given by tho Oak land Chamber of Commerce and will be made an honorary member of that organization. Plans are now under way to make it .a gala military event in this city. Oakland claims Kyne as its own be cause of his residence in one of the suburbs on this side of the bay, and also because much of the materiul for his sea stories is drawn from Oak land's waterfront. In this respect he follows somewhat in the stops of the i late Jack London, who discovered some of his most noted characters along Oakland s docK3 in the days oi the whalers. Kyne will be no "rookie" when ho dons khaki, for he soldiered in the Philippines in the "lighting Four teenth" while ho was still in his beardless 'teens. "I admit I lied about my age to get into the regular airmy." Kyne says: "but wild horses couldn't have kept me away from that chase after Aguinaldo. I feel a good deal the same way about the Kaiser."
