PLEASANT MANNERS
DELIGHT THE GUESTS
SAILORS ARE CONSIDERATE OF
VISITORS COMFORT
Seamen Say Treatment Accorded in
Los Angeles Is the Kind Which
Makes Them Feel
Welcome

Politeness and consideration for the
feelings and comfort of others have not
disappeared from the manners of SAIL
ors belonging to Uncle Sans great fleet
and this fact Is exemplif1ed in no more
striking way than the manner in which
these men care for the thousands OF
visitors boarding the warships now
stretched along the coast.
And it is not all discipline, for an OBJ
servant mind can readily read the in
born instinct of gentleness and forbear-
ance, unhidden under the monotony or
blouse and rounded cap.
So general is this manner that it is
taken as a matter of course and is
noted only when rougher and more
discordant voiee breaks into the even
ness of superior conduct.
And what they give they also de-
mand 1--WE are being treated splen-
didly here and all along the coast" said
a bluejacket yesterday. 1T is nothing
like the way they used us on the At
lantic coast. There they wouldn't al
low us to go inside some of the tnea-
ters and music halls. OF course, scrim-
IMAGES followed, and I don't think we
came out second best.
Here it Is different, and we feel that
we are welcome, and I guess the boys
will try to do what is right and show
spirit of appreciation"
Ships Have Mascots
That something in man which calls
animals to him with purr and grunt and
frisky bark is strikingly shown on board
each ship. On the flagship Connecticut
there are mascots galore, the greatest
number, of course, being made up Of
dogs-canines with and without pedi-
gree, but all filled with love for the men
whose courage they know is their pro-
lection.
The foremost of these animals is
Jack, a hrll terrier, taken on board
while still an infant and now grown to
lively, ball catching dog, ready, like
his human companions, for fight or fun
Another animal taken on board in the
ncrth Atlantic and to which a blue
jacket named Chapman lays special
claim, is a pig, once a pretty though
noisy youncster. but now rotund form
of gruntirP dissatisfaction. Chapman
is the pigs protector, and the animal
needs one, for its mind has become i'm
bued with the idea that enemies sur
round 1t, and cleaning teeth give
warning when any but its recognized
master approaches. This quarrelsonle-
ness can only be assuaged by gentle
scraping with a stick or shoe sole, and
the anxiety of the men to get into the
animals good graces is shown by the
fact that it is almost hairless.
Monkey on Board
Then there is monkey, taken on at
Rio and christened with the name of
Jocko-as all decent monkeys should
be named He was baby when first
taken on board, but has now reached
the proportions of a full grown man
monkey. Upon his first arrival he was
placed in the bow of one of the ships
launches, and Immediately called it
home. There upon pile Of rope he
sleeps or plays, and naught can induce
him to change his domicile or manner
OF living.
"Yes, we take him on board some-
times" said one of the bluejackets, "but
he raises such fuss that we are glad

coLoNEL'S TASK is FAR
FROM AN EASY ONE

All arrangements for the official re-
ception of the big fleet when 1T first
entered American waters were made
by Colonel Thomas Wilhelm, U. S. A,
retired. =,
This is no light task, involving all
due attention to military etiquette and
rule. and the greetings of great state
to the fleet of the entire nation.
Colonel Wilhelm's long experience IN
the service led to his being appointed
by Secretary of War Taft to the posi-.
tion of assistant inspector general OF
the California national guard, and also
to his being appointed by Governor
Gillett to the position of boarding Of
ficer and the medium of communica-
tion between him and the commander
of the fleet in arranging these impor-
tant details of the reception OF the
feet,
Colonel Wilhelm, who has seen years
of honorable service in the army, feels
these appointments make a most well
come climax to his career as an offi-
Ger.

friends, including General Harrison
Gray Otis and Adjutant General Lauck
