ARMY Nebraska Boy Back From France, Where He Fought in , Important Battles Under Canadian Colors. , 1 Lincoln, Neb., May 31. (Special.) The ease with which a man could get into the service of England as (compareil with the United States, was told Saturday by Leon B. Alde rnan, a returned Nebraska boy from Overseas. Aldeman was a former member of the Fifth Nebraska regiment, but being anxious to get into active 'service, presented himself at a re cruiting station with an idea of en listing. However, in the examina tion he was told that his teeth were in Such poor condition that he could not pass, but if he would have them fixed he might get in. Goes to Canada. j That did not suit Aldeman and one day he read in the papers that England was urging all former Britons to return to that country and enter the service. Aldeman Wrote to the proper authorities in Canada that he wanted to enlist and transportation was sent him. He presented himself at the recruiting station, but when the officer, asked him where he was born the trouble began. He was born in New York. "If ' you want to get into this branch of the service you had better take ft walk around the block and try. and discover if you were not born in Canada." said the officer. "I walked around the block," as serted Aldeman, "and discovered that I was born in Alberta. I went back to the officer and was asked what town in Alberta I was born in. I told him I did not know." . ' Takes Another Walk. "I' think you better take another walk around the block and see if you cannot refresh your memory," said the officer. "I; had just as good luck as I 'had the other trip and came back and told the officer I was born in Cal gary. He said that that was all ' righ.and I went through the exam ination without any trouble. No reference was made to the condi tion sjf my teeth. Of course, I had prepared a little for that by having the "worst ones yanked out. "llyas soon sent to France and saw service in the front line trench es in - most of the important battles, but .f have often wondered what would have happened to me if the United States had not been so par ticular. Perhaps I would be over in France today under the sod instead of being in the United States, feel ing mighty good that it is all over and I am back home." grilling for Oil to r' Start in Gage County ?
