CALLED UPON TO DO HIS BIT IN SIBERIA
LACEY GAYLORD GRAY
Far away in Omsk, Siberia, Lacey Gaylord Gray, son of Mrs. Susan W. White, of Marshalltown, was called upon to do his bit for his country dur- ing the World War. When the Bolshevists came into power, Gray was acting as agent for the International Harvester Company, at Omsk. The office and its private accounts were seized by the bolshevists, but Gray re- mained and did what little he could do to protect the interests of the firm.
Then it was that he was called upon by his government to do his bit, being appointed vice consul at Omsk. In this capacity he remained thru- out the great war, looking after American interests when Bolshevists and Czecks battled for supremacy.
Consul Gray was the only consular officer at the final peace conference between Bolshevists and Czecks, before the Czecks took Omsk, and was one of the first to congratulate and support the new Siberian government when it came in.
Meanwhile Millar White, Consul Gray's half-brother, also a Marshall- town boy, was doing his bit in the United States marines.

DESTROYED FOURTEEN U-BOATS
TO NO have served on a warship that captured or destroyed seventeen submarines was the experience of Eder- kin C. Boardman, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. E. Boardman, of this city. Board- man's experience in chasing U-boats, laying mines and patroling British waters was replete with excitement and hazardous incidents as that of any man who faced the Hun soldiery from the first line trenches. Boardman was at- tached to the U. S. S. Shawmut, a mine layer and submarine destroyer, which had a complement of 350 officers and men. Writing to his father of his ex- periences Boardman said :
"We arrived 'over here' June 29, 1918. After a day's run aong the rocky coast of Scotland we pulled thru three sets of gates into a small harbor, and dropped the hook. The town of Cromarty lies at the mouth of this harbor, Moray Firth, which is a bay of the North Sea, ELDERKIN C. BOARDMAN on the east coast of Scotland, at the extreme north and south of the Orkney Islands.
"We went on our first mining expedition about three weeks later, carry- ing 340 mines, each containing 300 pounds of T. N. T. We were convoyed by ten English destroyers, a couple of dirigibles and some United States naval planes. There were nine mine layers and this was the largest mine laying expedition ever attempted. The English navy was amazed at such a tremendous project. In all, the mine layer carried 5,000 mines. We laid the mines from the three-mile limit of Norway, on a westerly course, to the Orkney Islands. After we had pushed off all the mines we dropped marker buoys, and then on the next trip we would go out to these buoys and start planting mines from these west.
"Terrible weather conditions prevailed in the North Sea, and on the first trip the fog was so thick we could not see anything. We could hear a plenty, though, because many of the mines went off as soon as the salt water melted away the last safety precaution.
"The destroyers beat it for home on this first expedition and we were left to our own resources. Twice during that night we almost collided with ships but got away clean.
"We made thirteen mine-laying trips and all contained exciting inci- dents, returning each time to Inverness, where Naval Base No. 18 is located. After one trip we went down to Newcastle-on-tyne, England, and went into dry dock for repairs and some big feeds. After one week there we came back to Invergordon and it certainly seemed dead.
"Well, without giving details, we have fourteen big stars painted on the head of our pilot, representing fourteen German submarines destroyed or captured, credited to the Shawmut.
"The survey ship came in yesterday and I understand we are going to have seventeen stars on our Thanksgiving menu - some Thanksgiving party."

THE "FIGHTINGEST" FAMILY IN IOWA
Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Burgess, of Marshalltown, Mrs. Bur- gess' four sons, Sergt. Frank Laughlin, aviation; Sergt. Frederick K. Laughlin, radio operator; William Laughlin, cavalry, and Clarence Laugh- lin, coast artillery, and son- in-law, Lieut. Herbert Karrer, infantry.
Not only was the family 100 per cent in war service, but its representatives were in almost every branch of the service. Burgess was a first class petty officer at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, and Mrs. Burgess volunteered for Red Cross work. Burgess enlisted for service in the navy at the age of 46, after having served the government in securing enlistment for special mechanical branches in the army and navy.

NEAR DEATH IN NO MAN'S LAND
C N July 22, 1918, Dwight L. Frazer, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Frazer, of Mar- shalltown, a "wireless scout" with Battery B, Tenth Field Artillery, miraculously es- caped death, when a German shell killed or fatally wounded every member of a small advanced party, with the exception of Frazer. Writing to his parents of the incident, Frazer said:
"I am in a base hospital far from the front lines. I am not wounded; in fact, I don't know what is the matter with me. All I know is that I am so shaky I can hard- ly write or do anything else. They call it shell shock and exhaustion. There DWIGHT L. FRAZIER was a shell lit in a bunch of us and got all but me. It knocked me down but I was not rendered uncon- scious. I bandaged one of the fellows who had a bad wound in his back, got a stretcher and another man, and started for a first aid station, which was about two miles away. Whether or not I got there I don't know. The next thing I knew I was in an ambulance about fifteen miles from the front, and the fellow I started to carry was beside me, but he had been dead for some time. He was a B. C. detail man, and one of my best friends.
"Later, as I sat on the seat of the ambulance with the driver, going to a hospital train, Harry Gabelman and Wayne Cumming jumped on the side of the car. I was never so surprised in my life. I didn't have much time to talk to talk to them, but it seemed good to see them.
"I can' tell you just what part of the front I have been on, but have been into the worst of it, and can say that Sherman was a wise man. Don't worry about me, as I will be O. K. as soon as I can get a rest and a few square meals."
Frazer soon rejoined his company and served with the American army of occupation. After the entry into Germany he was taken ill with pneu- monia and his recovery was considered doubtful. He recovered in due time, however, and returned to his command, serving with the American forces in France and Germany for a longer period than most men from this county, and participating in as much severe fighting, perhaps, as any one man in the expeditionary forces.
