NAVAL DISCIPLINE.
What the Sailor Will Do to Obtain
Shore Leave.

AS illustrating how men respond and
comes to the same thing. the maximum
satisfaction for a given amount of ef-
fort, two instances that came under
my observation while In the navy are
very interesting. One cruise was made
on a vessel whose executive officer was
Discipline I'm general was admirable.
In arranging for shore leave OF the
enlisted men, however he managed so
to arrange matters, strange as 1t may
seem, that 1t was possible for a man
In an inferior conduct grade to get
more liberty than one Of the best be-
haved men. This was Of course en-
tirely unnatural and came about from
a combination Of two separate systems.
The reason was that naval regulations
compelled the giving Of at least GER
tain amount Of shore leave to men In
the second grade, while the system he
was using actually allowed less to n
man in the first grade. The result was
that I'm a short time the bulk Of the
men were I'm the second conduct grade
where they could get the most liberty.
At later date, on another ship, the
executive officer was an extremely
able man, who had studied this ques-
tlon more carefully and was a great
believer In making II worth while for
the men to behave themselves and
keep In n high conduct grade. He SO
arranged matters that II any man be-
haved himself sufficiently well and
did all his work with high efficiency
he could have an unusual amount OF
liberty. The result was that this ship
had more than half its crew I'm what
is known as the Especial first class"
far and away the largest percentage
that ever came under my observation.

RUMoRED THAT HIS FIRST
CHOICE OF WATER CON-
STRUCTiON INSPECTOR RAN
INTO SNAG At THE MAYORS
OFFICE,

Arvid Reuterdahl succeeded
John Wetzel as president of the
board of public works and water
commissioner today. His first APP
pointment in the water depart
ment met the disapproval Of
Mayor Pratt and Is temporarily
hung up.
Reuterdahl named w. s. Powell
as chief inspector of water main
construction. Powell was former.
ly chief inspector OF sewer con-
struction and he was slated to
succeed Inspector Wylie on the
water construction job. No defin-
lite conclusion has been reached,
but there is a hitch. so the story
goes.
Reuterdahl declines to discuss
the matter. Mayor Pratt says he
knows nothing about 1t.
Wetzel objected because the
mayor demanded the release OF
Chief Engineer Harmon at the
pump plant, but Wetzel is about
the only one that has kicked on
that, as Harmon was never gener-
ally considered a competent man
for the Job.

FRENCH AMBASSADOR
SEES SPOKANE

Ambassador Jusserand of France,
the man you frequently read about
in Washington and Paris dispatch
es, looked on Spokane today in his
bland French way and politely dis
cussed all matters that did not
tend to commit him to anything
that could be construed as a
breach of diplomacy. He smiled
in a peculiar manner when asked
about David Starr Jordan's declara-
lions that the French nation is de-
cadent, made at the very time that
M. Jusserand was in California
representing the French nation in
acknowledging San Francisco's re-
demption from the ashes.
The ambassador points to the
achievements of Frenchmen in art
and science as evidence that they
are about as far from being de-
cadent as nation can be.
The ambassador looks the part
as representative Of nation
that Is past master in diplomacy.
He has the distinguished bearing.
