Leo Shines Up 1917
Tag -He'sOff Again
For Overseas Duty

"Sgt." Welling, 53, Gassed in

Las+ War, Gets O.K. to
Join Harper Unit

The little military identifica-
tion tag that did good service for
Leo Welling when he fell victim
to a cloud of German mustard
gas at Chateau Thierry nearly a
quarter of a century ago, is back
in active service along with its
owner. Far past the usual mili-
tary age limit—he's now 53—Leo
enlisted this week and left for
his preliminary "retraining" at
Camp Custer.
There's one difference this time.
He enlisted as a private at the
beginning of the f '-
first World War::
and was mus-
tered out after mr
the armistice
wearing the
Order of the
Purple Hear t.
This time, as a
veteran, he is -
wear ing ser-
geant's stripes. Leo Welling
BOUND FOR OVERSEAS
On Monday he said good-bye
to his cousin, David Welling, with-
whom he has been in business
since 1918—first in the Brown-
well Corp. and for the last six
years in the insurance business
in the Penobscot Bldg., and
started out on an adventure that
he has every reason to believe
will take him into the thick of
it — his real objective — overseas
service.
Sergt. Welling was working
under Gen. George W. Goethals,
army engineer in charge of the
building of the Panama Canal,
when the U. S. entered the other
war. He tried to enlist, but failed
to pass the eye test. He came up
to Virginia, where a friend was
in the "Blues", but was rejected
again. Back in his old home
town, Big Rapids, he told his
story. The local doctors were
sympathetic — he got into the
310th Michigan Engineers.
PERSISTENCE IS REWARDED
Leo 'wouldn't talk much, but
we have reason to believe that
his office file is cluttered with
letters to nearly every service in
the U. S. armed forces, dated
from just after Pearl Harbor
applying for enlistment. Success
came when his close personal
friend, Lieut-Col. Edward Spald-
ing, and his immediate superior,
Col. Henry R. Carstens, in
charge of the Harper Hospital
Unit (17th General Hospital Unit,
now stationed at Fort Custer), in-
terceded with the Surgeon-Gen-
eral in his behalf. He will serve
in the supply division of the unit
Sergt. Welling was graduated
from the Big Rapids High School
and the Ferris Institute, and in
his youth was keenly interested
in amateur boxing. He belongs to
the Military Order of the Purple
Hear, the Robert Kunzi Post of
the American Legion, Big Rapids
and the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, No. 107, of Detroit. Dr.
Benjamin D. Welling, in the
David Whitney Bldg., is a bro-
ther.

No Quarter to Tyrants

By WM. LLOYD GARRISON
With reasonable men, I will
reason; with humane men I will
plead; but to tyrants I will give
no quarter, nor waste arguments
where they will certainly be lost.
