MISS GOULD VISITS Y. M. G. A.
Ships and Shore in Touch-Many Men
Overstay Leave

Miss Helen Gould was a visitor yesterday
to the naval branch of the Young Men s
Christian Association which she helped to
erect, i'll Sands street, BROOKLYN Miss
Gould arrived with her secretary and a few
friends early in the afternoon She shook
hands with many of the sailors who are on
in the North River, Wishing them the COM
pliments OF the season and giving an occa-
sional word OF advice and encoura cement
Communication between the ships and
the shore was re-esta blished yesterday On
something like a reasonable schedule. The
rise in the temperature broke UP the ice, so
that II was no longer a menace 10 the
steamers from the warsnips. There were
many visitors. who boarded tugs and
launches from the seth and 9Sth street land
ings in the afternoon and were carried 10
the fla gship Connecticut, the Missouri the
Wisconsin, the Vermont and other vessels.
Rear-Admiral Seaton Schroeder came On
shore soon after noon in his fast steamer"
Although their leave is not up until this
morning. many of the petty officers and
sailors who have been on liberty for ten
days began returning 10 their respective
ships yesterday. There are reports of many
missing liberty men whose special leave
expired several days ago. Sixty are miss
ing from the Missouri and all OF the other
ships are minus some of the crew. It is
estimated that between four hundred and
five hundred men have overstayed their

vived it. placing the pufs at elbow and
knee.
The elbow puff is a decided departure
from the long. tight sleeve OF the two
last seasons, from which all signs of full
ness were carefully removed. The pres
ent style is an adaptation of the Cavaliers
slashed sleeve of the Stuart dynasty,
and in it's complex arrangement reminds
one of Katharines sleeve, which moved
Petruchio to exclaim
What's this: sleeve? Ills like a deui-cannon!
Here's snip and nip and cut and slish and slash
Like TO censor in a BARRIERS shop.
Sleeves that have no puff inserted at the
shoulder TO elbow or a large one termi-
mating in a high cuff.
These styles, of course, are meant only
for the dressy waist or the house frock-
For the more severe tailored fashions the
bishop and the raglan" sleeves are
gaining in favor. The latter. cut in one
with the body of the waist. has it's fulness
caught into simple narrow wristband.
1t Is a style designed however, only for
the slender woman. The bishop sleeve is
4 smaller version of the same thing, only
set into the arnahole in the regular way.
For evening wear sleeves are still very
short and scant Some leave the outside
part of the arm bare. some have a draped
puff of chiffon edged with a bit OF lace,
and some have merely a shoulder strap 10

FOR RIFLE PRACTICE.
Government MAJ Issue arms
TO Clubs and Schools.

Washington, Jan. Important legisla-
ton designed TO promote practice with the
military rife may be enacted By Congress
this winter The army and the national
guard have been equipped with the new
Springfield, but the expense of obtaining
these weapons from the government has re-
stricted practice among civilians. Some hun
dreds Of thousands of Krags have been
tired however, and if available for issue
would doubtless be an incentive to civilians
to practise. Representative Hull, or Iowa.
chairman of the House Committee on Mill
tary Affairs, has therefore introduced bill
on the subject which has the approval of
the War Department. as represented by the
Secretary of War, Assistant Secretary Oil
Yer. the chief of staff and the chief of ord
nance. as we'll as of the National Board for
the Promotion of Rifle Practice and the Ma
tional Rife Association OF America,
The bill authorizes the Secretary Of War
70 issue, without expense TO the United
States. magazine rifles and appendages not
OF the existing service model. These are TO
be issued TO rife clubs organized under the
rules Of the National Board for Promotion
of Rife Practice and TO schools having
uniformed corps of cadets. The Secretary
Of War is authorized to prescribe regula-
tions TO guard the United States against
loss and for the proper care of the arms
Should the bill become a law the limit of
issue would probably be fixed at about one
rife TO each ten members of a club in good
stnding
second section OF the bill provides for
the promotion of rife practice IN schools,
colleges. universities and civilian clubs by
supplying certain ammunition, prizes and
holding Of matches, and in other directions,
for which s100.00 is appropriated,
Up to the present time this country has
done nothing for its civilian rife clubs,
which are comparatively few in number,
while in England it is estimated that there
are nearly three thousand, with member
ship of possibly half a million men and
boys The work with the civilian clubs is
designed to reach the 'unorganized militia
which would constitute the bulk of the vol
unteer army in case Of war On this sub
tect General Bell. the chief OF staff, recently
said. The encouragement of rife practice
among our citizens and schoolhoys Is of the
greatest Importance in this country, where
preparedness for is largely based on the
employment of an army Of volunteers: and
wisely framed laws which will give d
healthy stimulus TO this branch of military
preparedness would receive the hearty sup
