VOLUNTEERS FOR SUBMARINE DUTY

William Dorris Crooks, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Crooks of this city, who a short time ago enlisted in the navy is now on his way to France, where he will take training service on a submarine. A few days ago the government asked for volunteers and over a hundred boys from Indiana offered their service. One of these boys was William Crooks. But six of the group failed to volunteer. After five or six weeks of training in France Young Crooks will be assigned to duty on a submarine in active service.
