Love Adventures of Howard Flentke, Aged
EYANSVILLE, IND.—This very'proper little city Is ostensibly shocked at the
dolnjrs of Howard Fientke, fourteen years old, n fourth-year student In the
Ontral hich school. As to chuckling over the tale—that's another matter.
Beginning at the ena, roneeraan juuu
Pratt In the La Salle street station In
Chicago thought he saw a beautiful,
blue-eyed girl of eighteen, In the latest
toga and a big black hat framing gol
den curls, sliding down a banister.
Policeman John pinched himself. Po
liceman John has an eye, and It con
vinced him that the slider was a boy.
Then he pinched the lovely masquer
ad er. Judge Arnold sent the young
ster to the Juvenile detention home till
his father could come and get htm.
And this is (lie story Howard tells of Mi! adventures: ~s- -j nr> : .
"I just decided I was sick of Evansvllle. I wanted a change. I wanted
to get into the movies. I was tired of being a boy. Tuesday night I got
into Sister Marie's clothes and took the train for Terre Haute. A soldier
wearing the overseas uniform flirted with me, holding my hand. - 1
"Another soldier—he said he was John Smolluski of La Salle, 111.—came
along, and after a quarrel with the first he took his place beside me. He
became very affectionate, finally proposing to mo. I accepted him. He
asked me to ride on toLa Salle, and I did, but my ticket only carried me to
Terre Haute, so I 'fixed' the conductor with a few smiles and n pat on the
hand. It was Wednesday morning when I got off at La Salle with John.
I made an appointment with him for-10:30 Thursday morning to get mar
rled. Then I went to a hotel and registered as 'Bonnie Lauder.' He had
given me some money. !
"Thursday I took a train for Chicago. I made perhaps a dozen acquaint
ances; all the men wanted to flirt with me.
"I didn't know how to find my way around Chicago, so I returned to the
station when I left each of the fellows. There It was that I saw the entranc
ing bsnlster. And that's where.I got pinched." ^

SIDNEY E. MANNING,
Corporal, Co. 43, 167th Infantry.
Corporal Manning received
the Distinguished Service Cross
for conspicuous gallantry near
Breuvannes, France, July 28,
1918. Corporal Manning was in
charge of an automatic rifle
squad during an assault by his
battalion on the strongly forti
fied heights overlooking the
Ourcq river for the purpose of
exploiting the successful pas
sage of the stream. During the
advance on the hill his platoon
commander was killed and just
as the crest was reached the
platoon sergeant was wounded.
Corporal Manning then assumed
command of the platoon, which
was near the center of the as
saulting line and was meet
ing with desperate resistance.
Though he himself was severely
wounded and was the only sur
vivor of his squad, this soldier
led forward the 35 effectives re
maining In the platoon against
an enemy strong point which
was wired, intrenched and de
fended by machine guns and
dominated the entire Ourcq val
ley. He was repeatedly wound
ed, but he succeeded In getting
a foothold at this strong point
with but seven men remaining
with him. While the latter con
solidated their position under
his direction, with the platoon
on the flank, he held off a con
siderable number of the enemy
50 yards away by fire from his
automatic rifle. He remained
In this position until the entire
line had been consolidated, when
he crawled back to shelter, hav
ing received nine wounds. Mrs.
Lizzie Manning, his mother,
lives In Flomatln, Ala.
Discharged Men
Wear Stripe
Now } ork, April 28.—Hundreds
of discharged officers of the army
and numbers of enlisted men, are
unconsciously laying themselves op
en to liiii and imprisonment by
wearing uniforms, after dtscha-rg'
without the red' chevron on the left
sleeve, according- to ordei'p from
the war department received yester
day by Lieut., ColonU C. R. Ben
nett, aailstant recruiting officer.
This order stated that the chev
ron must, be worn on the uniform btf
officers and men after discharge.
Few officers. have been meeting with
this f eguirement, it is said, because
the original order allowing men to
wear uniforms after discharge v._a3
not construed to apply to officers
wherein it prescribed the wearing of
the red chevron.
In connection with the announce
ment »f the order, Colon l Bennett
urged, all former service men to t&k
care of iheir uniforms. "Many m.n
are simply wearing out their uni
forms," he gaidt, "This tendency may
h»Ve been due to the original order
that uuilorms could be wom onl£
three months after discharge and
then had <o bo returned to the gov
ernment. But now the men know
that they are allowed to tee® the
uniform a If the uniforms are gon
the men will find themselvea might
ily put out some time in the future
when thejr want them badly. I h^vt
even been petitioned by the mayor
of one town to protest against the
lack of care given uniforms by dis
charged men, owing to th« fa-ct that
in this town a acelebration w8^ giv
en returned soldiers, a-nd the offic
ala feared that alrealty many men
would Dot have uniforms fit to
wear."
