their sightseeing. but the American sailor

time 10 come. The sailors favorIte prom
enade is the Strand. All day long and
until after midnight he drifts upon down
the famous thoroughfare. whose saloon
bars. tea shops, match vendors. and beg
gars are profiting greatly.
No man is more popular in England
than the sailor. and the American blue
jackets have been among friends from the
moment they set foot in London. In the
bars, restaurants. and streets, the British
public fraternizes with them. Last night
the writer overlook one of Londons best
known actors walking down the Strand
arm in arm with a sailor who was de-
seribing 10 him the glories of the Ameri-
can navy.
Comment on Tar's Size.
The most general comment on the
American sailor here is his youth and
slight lines OF build as compared with
the British sailor The most obvious
thing about him Is that he is the coolest
person in London The first batch Of
sailors reached London in a cold fog
and they have been shivering ever since
All complain OF the cold. which is not
exceptional. although there is a slight
frost every night The sailors are re-
markably we'll conducted. They seem 70

Wherever lie goes strangers are profuse
In offers of liquid refreshment. but only

sailors approve OF the police, and won
ders at the barmaids. whom they treat
with the utmost politeness.
They are puzzled by the coinage. They
drink bitter beer as 10 manner born.
They are feazed by nothing. They walk
with calm confidence into the saloohs
and Restaurants Of type which would
abash and einbarrass British tare. They
make friends with everybody and say
they are having a greai time.
