It is Corporal Harry Hickman Of Coast Artillery Now.

Rensselaer youths in the U. S. Army, as elsewhere, seem to get to the front when they go out after promotion, and Harry Hickman, of the 168th coast artillery company, stationed at Fort Monroe, Va., has Just been made a corporal. Doubtless he would have been promoted before this time except that he was detailed as a chauffeur for an officer for some time and was not eligible to promotion during that time. Don P. Warren, also stationed at the same fort, was promoted several months ago. They joined the army at the same time and each has “a year and a butt” still to do, which mean* that they will serve something over a year before being discharged. - r
