Show The Choice of Young Cohen It so befell In the months preceding preced-ing our entry Into the World war that in a suburb of Chicago a preparedness prepared-ness league was organized.

Now. military drill was a part of the duties of a member, mem-ber, and young Cohen did not take with any great amount of enthusiasm to this feature. One evening the commander of his squad sought to liven him. "Buck up. Herman!" he said.
