COMMISSIONED LIEUTENANT.  
Harry G. Martin, of 1500 Seventh Avenue, to Join Engineers.

  Harry G. Martin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel A. Martin, of 1500 Seventh 
avenue, and a former Tribune carrier, has been commissioned a second 
lieutenant in the United States army Engineers.
  He was born and reared in the city and on leaving school entered the 
service of the Pennsylvania Railroad company.  He is young and active and his 
knowledge of railroad work will stand him in good stead in the army.  He will 
leave sometime during the present week for one of the training camps and 
expects to go overseas in the very near future.
