The Man-of-War's Man of Today and

From Golfers Weekly.
The American man-o' war Sman OF today
is as different in personal character from
his predecessor of a few decades ago as Is
the steel-clad, turreted, mastiess battie
ship of 1893 from the graceful, wooden
frfgate of past generations. The new wea-
mons motive power and other equipment
of latter-day war vessels necessitate diff
ferent and often higher qualities in the men
that handle them. To this is due the fact
that the modern man-o'-war'sman Is more
of a mechanic and a soldier than sailor
pure and simple.
But this is not all. The general charac-
ter of Uucle Sans blue-jacket has under
gone a change since the development or
the new navy, as radical as his profession

a drunken sailor and spending money
