Catalina Island varies in width from
half mile to nine miles and In about
twenty in length. The ciiff shores are
broken IN several places by pockets
trimmed by beaches OF sand. CaAa-

Rugged rocks are all about, and in
one place huge rock known as the
Sugar Loaf rises to height of about
SIXTY feet . -
As the seals and waterfowl are pro-

enced Salvationist and his wife. They
supply the men with liquid refresh
ments at low prices and writing ma
terial and newspapers free. When the
camp Is near town the men are re-
auested to bring their socks and I'M
derclothing to the local headquarters,
where the women wash and mend the
wearing apparel free of charge. In
this way they gain the confidence of
the soldier, and he Is kept away from
bad company and the danger which
always besets a man In uniform. Tea
is served every afternoon, and the
men come to enjoy a social hour.
Usually somebody plays and sings and
the chief officer makes everyone feel
as though they were at home.
Headquarters are maintained at the
various railway stations both in Lon
don and Berlin, and when the men
come from the training camps or from
the front they sometimes have an hour
or two to wait. before they can get q
train to their homes. The Salvation
lists invite them to these booths. where
they may partake of refreshments be-
