SOPHOMORE WILL BATTLE IN MAGINOT LINE WITH LEGION

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Sophomore John C. Baker has joined the American Division of the French Foreign Legion and will probably soon be stationed in either the Maginot Line or Morocco, it was learned recently through letters addressed to William T. Munson '42 and John F. Seiberling '41.

In the letter to Seiberling, dated September 6, Baker stated that although he had already enlisted, he would not be stationed for another three weeks and that, in the meantime, he was helping his family to gas-proof their home in Paris.

Since the death of his mother, and father when he was young, Baker has been living with his aunt, Miss Mary Baker, who, though an American citizen, has done much travelling abroad. Because of this, Baker received most of his formal education in France and feels an equal loyalty for both France and the United States.
