Members of w. C. T. U. Plan Tokens
to Be Given Men Who VIII
Soon Be Guests of
Los Angeles

An appeal being made by Mrs. Hester
T. Griffith to the women of Southern
California in the interest of the sailor
boys who are expected in Los Angeles
early in April includes a request for
comfort bags" one of which the local
w. c. T. U. is anxious to present to
each sailor on the California, and to as
many other sailors on other vessels as
the supply will permit.
Directions for the making of these
bags and list of the desired furnish
ings are as follows:
Take cretonne, 9 by "a inches. On the
wrong side of cloth, inches from top
edge, fasten three pieces of flannel
red. white and blue-with pink edges
(for pins and needless. About the same
distance from the other edges faSten a
small bag for buttons. Sew up sides.
Turn down one and half inches at top
for frill; stitching two rows across for
strings to open and close; put in two
sizes of black and white buttons, No. 5
needles, pins and safety pins, white,
black and patent thread (these can be
gotten in little rolls now: darning cot
ton and needles; small blunt scissors;
court plaster; some absorbent cotton;
testament; songster; leaflets on purity,
tobacco and temperance; pledge card
with stub, asking them to return the
stub to you signed. Do not forget the
good motherly letter; boys seek for
these first.
Mrs Griffith says: Our sailors come
from good homes, and many of them
are missing the home folks. The great
est kindness we can show them Is to
give them touch of mother and sis
ter love. We wish the homes of our
sunny southland might welcome them
as freely as do the places of sin; then
fewer of them would forget the loving
influences of the far away home.
Mothers and sisters of California,
there is way by which you can voice
to them this home love and care. Make
them comfort bags, sending them to the
writer at 404 Currier building, Los
Angeles. Through Mrs. Stella B. Irvine
of Riverside the Minnesota women are
sending 400 bags for distribution among
the sailors of the Minnesota. Women
having friends on some other vessel
may send bags marked with the name
of the preferred boat, and the bags will
be delivered as addressed

marked almost casually. The WORDS

dation to the Georgia. The acknowl-
edgement came back instantly.
Admiral Evans said that very likely
he would go out on the target range
with the Connecticut when she engaged
in her record target practice. He said
that his tender, the Yankton, would be
here by that time and he might go
aboard her. but more likely he would
remain on the flagship.

miral Evans fleet had precluded his
participating in the ceremonies. The

officials. as had been anticipated.
Admiral Evans has placed a limit OF
seventy-tive words nightly on wireless
press dispatches to be filed by the cor
respondents with the fleet in order OF

under direction of Lieutenant Comman-
der Lloyd H. Gambler, flag secretary.
No press dispatches can be sent until
official business is all cleared up and
so far there is no indication but that
the official dispatches will monopolize
the wireless establishment for some
time to come. Communication with
Point Iona seldom is established until
we'll past midnight. Daybreak puts an
end to the atmospheric connection, and
so the hours for sending and receiving
are limited indeed.

was given command of the Yorktown
in Philippine waters and directed the
movements of the landing party on the
eastern shore of Luzon, which is now
regarded as one of the most thrilling
adventures of the campaign against
Aguinaldo. The landing party of the
Yorktown was captured by Aguinaldo's
men. Some of them were wounded and
all were taken prisoners. Then began
the famous chase Of the insurgents
and their prisoners throughout the
length of the island, resulting in the
release of the men on the northern
extremity of Luzon. The officers and
men who went to the relief of the
Yorktown men were popularity known
as the Hare and Hound" expedition,
and untold hardships were endured.
AS one of the officers under Admiral
Walker, Sperry helped to make sue
cessful the picturesque voyage of the
white Squadron" which visited
Europe and South America in 1S91-93.
From the command of the New Or
leans on the China station Admiral
Sperry became president of the war
college. His next detail was to the

fleet, in which capacity he has made
the trip around the Horn with Ad-

MAGDALENA BAY, March 1S, via
San Diego, March 17,-Rear Admir- Il
Evans sat for several hours enjoying
the semi-tropical sun today in an arm
chair placed on the after bridge of his
flagship the Connecticut, gazing out
over the broad waters of the bay and
admiring the wonderful advantages of
this out-of- the-way harbor. He point
ed out it's merits as a naval base in
detail, and regretted that its counter
part was not located along the south
western shores of the United States.
1T would be a great thing for us" he
exclaimed. What fine place for Our
purposes. Deep water. high surround
ing hills and deserted shores, which
permit of any range of target prac-

AS the admiral was speaking the

dius of the fleet, returning from the
target range. She came at rapid speed
between the ships. making her way to
the head of the division on the star
board bow of the Connecticut. The adj
miral watched the vessel for a moment,
then turning half way in his chair he
spoke some orders to q member of his
staff. Immediately there was stirring
activity on the bridge, with half doz-
en- officers mounting with energy and
sWiftness to execute the laconic order

"FLEET CAN GO ANYWH ERE"
DECLARES CHIEF OF STAFF

By Associated Press.
MAGDALENA BAY, Lower Califor-
mia, March 10. via San Diego, March
Magdalena Bay has demonstrated that
the Atlantic fleet can go to any part of
the world, if coal is provided" de-
clared Captain r. r. Ingersoll, chief OF
staff to Rear Admiral Evans, today,
when asked for a statement regarding
the cruise.
Upon Captain Ingersoll devolved
large portion of the work of executing
the cruise.
THE plans which were formulated
last August" he continued, for the
coaling of the fleet on the present cruise
provided for the use of eighty tons per
steaming mile Then there was added
eight additional tons daily for various
necessary allowances. We have found
that we were able to keep we'll within
this estimate, and maintain the 10-knot
speed. The arrangement for coaling at
all of our various stops have been car
ried out, and the prearranged plans
have proved entirely adequate.
AT Rio we took on $4,000 tons, at
Punta Arenas, 21,000; at Callao, q, 900,
and at Magdalena, when we have fin
ished with the colliers, we shall have
taken on $4,000 additional tons. This
SuDply VIII be adequate TO ldSC until we
arrive at San Francisco. This provides
also for the coal to be used in our tar
get practice.
.All of this amount of coal was pro-
vided, with the exception of amounts
taken on at Rio and Trinidad, from
chartered colliers.
Arrangement for Provisions
''The supply ship loads and the pro-
visions for the fleet were computed at
the same time as was the coal esti
mate and submitted to the department.
These arrangements have also worked
out to perfection. Our fresh meat last
ed until we reached Magdalena, where
we still had 100000 pounds left over.
We had 100000 pounds of fresh meat
when we started. The bakeries on our
ships have supplied us with from 900 to
1000 loaVes of bread daily.
1--WE started with 100000 pounds of
potatoes. which supply was exhausted
at Punta Arenas. We issued the last
40 900 pounds there. From there to
Callao the crews were rationed with
dehydrated or dried vegetables, which
were found to be most satisfactory. At
Callao we took on 23S,000 pounds of po-
tatoes, which lasted until we reached
Magdalena Here the Buffalo met us
with 100000 more. This will last ten
days, until the Culgoa can get here
from San Diego where she was sent
from Callao with orders to take on

The Pathfinders' Trip
Two of the ships brought an interest
ing message to San Pedro harbor. They
are the Tennessee and the Washington,
the cruisers that were called from
France last fall to go ahead of the
great fleet in it's trip around the Horn.
They are the patht1nders. They left
New York October II and kept about
two months ahead of the great fleet
during their entire journey. At Hamp-
ton Roads they saw the battleshp
squadron in the naval parade, and then
they headed for the south. All the days
of their journey they have looked for
the news of the great fleet and have
always, it seemed looked behind. Yes
terday they were thinking of it as 1t
my have been at Magdalena Bay,
from which the three cruisers lately re-
turned from target practice, in which
the Tennessee established a new record
for a 1O-inch gun. After the target
practice the squadron completed its or
ders by reporting at San Francisco,
thus finding the path for the whole ar
ray of battleships. 1t is now mere
locker on in the leisure allowed it by
President Roosevelt for it's long cruise.
Visitors yesterday found the ships
Spick and span, and the jackies as f1ne
bunch of fellows as they ever met.
In all there are over 2700 men on the
three ships, and nearly one-half of
them had shore leave yesterday. One
member of the Washington's compile
ment, however, looked shoreward with
hopeful but disgusted eyes, as the
green hills seemed to invite him even
if he had to swim. That one was
Mr.. William Goat.
Tall of Goat
That is not his ship name, for he is
known as "Bill," and he is the official
mascot. He belongs to the ships COM
pany, having been bought at Philadel-
phia over two years ago and has
served his enlistment with honor and
defended his rights with valor. He is
plain goat of the shanty town species,
but with so acute an intelligence that
marvellous tales are told of him. His
own tail, though, is a short one. Yes
terday visitors found him in rather
collapsed state. They thought him
sick, but he isn't. All he wants is
grass. And he can see the grass on
the hills as good as anyone

TO SECURE CONVENTION,

to Get Democrats,

The question of sending commit
tee to Boise next week to labor for
one of the democratic conventions to
be brought to Lewiston this year will
be decided by the governing board
of the Commercial club, which meets
Monday noon.
The committeeman for Nez Perez

man for the judicial district Promi-
nent democrats of south Idaho have
dropped the word that it viii be de-
sirable to bring the state convention
north this year and that Lewiston
will stand a good chance to get this
convention if an effort is made at
the neetiDe OF the state central COM
mittoe, which will be held in Boise
next Thursday.
It is understood that Wallace and
Boise will also he in the race for
the convention, but the fact that
the republican delegate conyen-

trail location of Lewiston and the
opening of the river road is believ-
ed to give the Gateway City an adj
