There la little urge to return to the uncertain welcome that awaits m th nutaida world where It la a cue of every man for himself. It would not be a caae of "flying to evils that they know of." All of then boys have tasted the mlserlea of want, privation and lacie 01 a jou. But a few have succumbed to nos talgia and "eloped" for the home town and these few have not con cealed their regrets.

Alfonte, commander of the Lewlston (Idaho) district, received the following letter from a boy who succumbed to homealckneaa and pulled out for the east on foot: Hla plight, after 18 daya on the road to home, la revealed In hla request for hajk nav. "I need the money very bad," he "it wsa a long trip and very tiresome and a lot of tha 18 daya wr hunsrv dava."

"My son," she wrote, "la here." I am writing you after waiting a week to hear something from you there In regards to him leaving for home. I want him to finish hla enlistment there. He la far better able to work than hla . father or I. We have taken car of him all through the depreaslon and wa feel he got a ohanca to earn and help a bit now I want htm to finish. "There la nothing here for him. I asked the welfare man about transferring him to a camp here. He did not know It It would be possible. Now I am waiting to hear from you at the earliest time advising me about the mat ter. "I know that It la the beat thing In the world for him to stay there and you can telegraph ma what to do aboul hla transporta tion. Please let me hear from you at your earliest opportunity and tell me what way to send him back." Another letter to Lieutenant Col onel L. L. Pendleton, commanding the Eureka district, was written by Spanish lad who got discouraged and quit after he had fought a couple of fast rounds with poison oak. He writes: "Lob Angeles, Calif., "August 13. 1033. "Dear Sir: "I have studied English, but I doubt that I could truly express my repentence for my sorry be havior. It took me two days and two nlghta to reach Loa Angeles. I waa glad to see my family, but very much ashamed of having gone over the hill. "An N. R.

That's the first time I ever saw number eight being held up by freight.' "I saw the brakeman (A. C. Morris of Hornell) and I asked him about the atop. He muttered something and kept on going. Then I heard the milk train coming and saw its light shooting ahead down the track. The brakeman had a red lantern in his hand. He began running like mad In the direction of the milk train, waving bis red lantern and I think white one. I got off the track to watch. 'I dldnt hear any squealing of brakes you know they squeal like murder when a train Is stopping and I said 'he doesn't see him.' I began to run as fast as I could away from the track. The next thing I knew there was an awful crash, like a mountain falling down. I ran back to the passenger train then. Part of the cars were piled up, like a heap of kindling wood. I could hear peo ple screaming In agony, crying for help, and yelling other people's names. "I began to pull people out of the wreckage. Cms little boy was scream ing for hla mother. I don't know how many Z pulled out. Z haven't been able to sleep a wink since, and Z guess It'll be a long time before Z want to. Z can't get this thing out of my mind, Zt was awful."

Although the army privates and non-commlssloned officers who er fected the ousting of the De Ces. pedes g6vernment. mingled during the night with civilians, celebrating the governmental upset, they did not get out of control. It was reared, however, that trouble might develop. The work of establishing the new state got under way within range of the guns of an American destroyer lying In the harbor. Although Havana was comparatively peaceful, other parts of the Island did not enjoy similar conditions. In Clenfuegoes revolutionary dem onstrators sacked hardware stores, stealing flrearma. Trade was at a atandstlll. Army and navy detach ment, protected foreigners. rormer Mayor Aragonea of Clen fuegos was arrested as he boarded the gunboat Balre with hla family.
