Vreeland has been a reserve officer for more than 10 years in military intelligence, went into service on Dec. 9 as a captain |and already has won a promotion.| | Osmer’s record is even more un-| | usual. Fulfilling a pledge he made lin a speech on the floor of the | House to enlist the minute the | United States got into war, he} |went in as a private — the only | member of congress to start out as a buck private in this war, probably a record that holds for World War 1, too. ! Of the three who have not been| |heard from, it is considered posi-| | tive here that Col. Melvin J. Maas, | St. Paul, Minn,, now on duty as a| |U. S. Marine Corps flying officer | scmewhere in the Pacific, will be| |a candidate for reelection. But no/ | word has been received from Capt. Vincent F.

Three other congressmen who jare back from the war fronts and {up for reelection are Lieut.-Com. | Francis Walter, of Pennsylvania, a naval aviator in World War I; Lieut.-Com. Warren G.
