SAILORS GLAD TO BE IN
UNITED STATES AGAIN
Boys OF Atlantic Fleet Say They Have
Enjoyed Themselves During Trip,
but Are Glad to Be on
Land Once More

"Glad to get ashore? Well, yes; we
always are glad of that" said a young
bluejacket from the Kansas, a number
of the members of whose crew were
among the first yesterday to secure
shore leave.
And [ want to see Los Angeles, and
so do my mates. We have heard of it's
beauties for weeks past, and we are
glad now to have an opportunity to
see it,"
Everywhere the story of the officer,
hiding from view in gold braid and
superior station the man before the
mast and behind the gun, has been told,
but the men who do the labor with
swab and brush also has his story to
tell, and they tell it with d realism
that shows an unfettered and observ-
ant mind.
1--WE like Philadelphia" said the man
from the Kansas, land had good time
there, as we did at other places along
tie Atlantic coast, much better than we
did at cities in the West Indies and
along the shores of South America.
The worst place, think, is Magdalena
lay, where there are eight buildings,
half of these being owned by the gov
ernment.
1--WE were at target practice there,
and the noise of the guns scared the ma
tives so much they ran to the hills ana
wouldn't come near the ships, except
at night. We knew nothing OF the
night visits, however, until an investi-
CATION was made into the disappearance
of our targets. Then we discovered
that the natives were going out in boats
in the darkness and stealing them. We
found out later the targets were being
used as tents.
| 1--WE enjoyed ourselves at Callao, but
it was hard work carrying around the
money they gave us in exchange for
our American dollars. They call our
paper currency rag money" down
there, and a dollar is equivalent to
about thousand larins, 1 think they
call them. 1 remember 1 bought pair
of shoes there and they cost me 2700
larins, and | had to pay 400 of these
pieces for a cigar. A man with SIS could
get enough of that money to I'LL a
wagon.
Some of the boys became tired of
the trip by the time we reached Rio de
Janeiro and large number deserted
from one of the ships. That was the
only place, however, where any deser-
tions took place.
up to the present time. L think we
like Philadelphia BEST" continued the
young sailor his mind coming back to
the pleasures of that city. But, of
course he added, 1--WE have not seen
Los Angeles. wonder If they will try
to keep the girls from coming aboard
ship as they did in the east. While we
were in Hampton Roads long petit
ton to Secretary Metcalf was signed
and sent to washington protesting
against the officers allowing girls on
board ship. But it didn't have any
effect, and the girls came in greater
numbers an enjoyed our dances"

American strength and national pride
in the foreground
Crowd Is SpeIlbound
Until the fleet came to anchor the
crowd stayed absorbed in every move
ment made, and for a short time after
ward the ranks of the naval reserves"
were unmoved.
Then, as though the spell had been
broken, the crowd began to shift and
the cars were boarded for homes back
inland. And to the credit Of the Pa
cific railway the thousands were trans
ported from the shore back to Los
Angeles and other places in perfect
order with no unnecessary delay or
hitch in the running time.
Long Beach had her finger on the
program constantly yesterday. Not
mistake was made in the arrange
ments The streets were beautifully
decorated with bunting and national
colors. as were the buildings as well.
When the fleet got broadside to the
Hotel Virginia, with the flagship Con-
necticut leading, the battery under the
command of Department Commander
Harry Culver of the Sons of Veterans
doomed forth welcoming salute.
And Long Beach intends to give the
navy a hearty welcome throughout the
week.

Invited to PIucking

In addition to the entertainments pre-
viously announced for the sailors, M.
H. Flint has made arrangements with
the Cawston ostrich farm at South Pas
adena for free admission of the men
of the fleet. An invitation has also
been extended to the officers of the fleet,
through the executive committee, to at
tend an ostrich "plucking" at o'clock
Thursday afternoon, which has been
arranged especially for their pleasure.

the dark waters with activity. The
nearer the column approached its desti-
nation the more numerous these
"mosquitoes'' became.
Mechanical Precision
The mechanical precision with which
the fleet sought its anchorage was
marvellous. Each battleship seemed
euuidistant from the other. When the
flagship reached it's point inside the
breakwater 1t dropped anchor, and at
the same time the other three ships
of the first division did the same. The
remainder of the fleet followed like
the halting of a company of soldiers,
and when the anchor of the Kentucky
had been made fast the ships still
seemed equidistant. But the influence
of the tide soon turned them so that
instead of their broadsides being
turned to the Long Beach watchers
they were turned to the multitude that
filled the water front and heights of
San Pedro.
Just before the fleet reached anchor
age two auxiliary ships of the feet came
into view. They were the hospital

And thus in less than two hours, a
real naval play, staged on the ocean
and with stage settings that were used
hundreds of years ago by the earliest
navigators into the port of the
paradise that good Saint Peter was
supposed to hold the keys to, was
performed.
1t was only the first act, however.
as at night, when the setting was
changed from the garish sunshine to
the argent light of the moon as she
relieved the intensity Of ocean dark
ness, the great fleet shone in splendor
of form and detail under the glare
of thousands of incandescent lamps,
running from water line to masthead
and from stem to stern, and amplited
by the gigantic rays of searchlights
that threw their penetrating power in
to the mountains and the cities of the
shore, the unending sweep OF waves
and the skies above.

wAsHINGroN's ANCESTRY
Royal Blood in Veins of Father Of Our
Country.

"Let no man fancy he knows sport, I"
said the late Moncure ID. Conway, Gun
less he has family-treed an ancestor of
George Washington Yet, despite the
many clever scholars and antiquarians
of America who have tried their hands
at this "sport," it has remained for a
fellow of the Royal Historical society
of England Rev. Frederick w. Ragg,
to convey to us the latest interesting
revelation regarding the ancestry of our
/ first president.
Barring those that champion the truly
democratic standpoint, less prevalent to-
day than it was in 1920, which scorns
to connect itself with old world titles
and abhors royalty, there remain many
liberal souls among us who do not
grudge to one who was acknowledged
first in war ,and first in peace share
in the homage, accorded the first fam
lily of England.
Edward / was himself mighty war
rior, and first in many wars; his PROV
ess was early exercised on the Turks,
during that last crusade ever embarked
on by England's kings, and when the
throne became his own he successfully
carried out his project of uniting Eng
lang, Scotland and Wales. He brought
the famous Stone Of Scone to West
minister Abbey, and under him England
became mighty nation He was a
monarch wise and great, even though
he had little leaning toward democratic
government and did not display special
fondness for Magma Charta. Edward
Longshanks was not an ancestor to be
despised by his descendent George, of
kingly bearing and equally long legs.
That this direct line of descent has
not until now been established may
seem a bit surprising in view of the
exhaustive research that has been de-
voted to the Washington ancestry. The
reason is, however, not difficult to I'M
derstand when one reflects that such re.
search has been concerned exclusively
with the male line, while this royal
blood is introduced into the family of

TEACHING BABY AT HOME
y X y ~ - - y IL u " II " II n " ~

Although five years old, Fannie is
still the baby Of the house-the prin-
cess, ruling through her innocent yet
unrelenting pleading. Children at five
usually have the advantage of kinder
garten amusement and enlightment, but
Globe does not afford this fundamental
in its curriculum of teaching, much to
the regret of Fannie and her many lit
! Il friends. To her mother and father
this inadvertence is looked upon as one
of the greatest arguments President
Roosevelt would face should he ever
come here and preach against the doc
trine of race suicide.
However, there is no place for little
Fanny to fit in, and her mother decided
to teach her at home. Beginning with
the A, B, C's, which Fanny learned
readily, the lessons branched into SEN
tence spelling, and Fanny made brave
beg: inning, but her little mind was often
very overcrowded with incidents of the
days play, which made the task Of
teaching often exasperating to her
mother.
"Now," began the patient mother
teacher, "the first sentence is: Il see
boy and you must spell each word
and pronounce it after me-.
And thus the little pupil started: 81
s-w-e-see-oh, mama, did you see
Marian s new dolli It's so cute"
"Never mind about that new DOLL
spell the sentence" said her mother,
scoldingly.
81 s-w-e (see) boy (boy)-oh,
mama, there is the eutest new baby
boy at the lady's house round the cor
ner you ever saw. y
To divert the child mind and save
her own patience the mother took
new sentence.
"The boy has dog, read the teach
err. "Now let s see how well you can
spell this sentence.
"T-h-e (the) boy (boy) has (has)
dog (dog)-where' the dog-is it
like Freddy's black, curly dog-does it
bite, mamai''
And Fanny turned the pages rapidly
in search of the dog, while mama fell
back into her chair despairingly.
won't you pay attention to your
lesson. dearl Do you want to grow up
and not be able to read the weather
report in the Silver Belt. Now, here
is new sentence, and the brave
mama began eneouragingly, but Fan
ny's eyes began to droop, as it was
nearing her bed hour.
"Spell this one, and little Fannie
began enthusiastically, forgetting that
she was sleepy.
1.-THE (the) boy (boy) can (can)
lrun (run)--can he run faster than his
4 mother--T bet he can't beat me. y
Her supply of patience nearly ex-
hausted, Fanny's mother felt that she
must be brave and stick il out. There
was no help for her that she could see,
so she began afresh.
/ "Now, here is brand new sentence,
and | want you to spell it over and
over again until you can read it with
out hesitation.
Little Fanny's chin dropped from the
palm OF her upturned hand, and the
sand hung heavily from her eyelids,
but the idea of something new awaken
so she began afresh.
"T.h-e (the) boy (boy) has (has)
a bed (bed)-so have |, haven't ],
