Distributing Gifts on a 6attIeship.

a port Offering inducement for Christ
mas or New Years revels.
If one has a son, brother or a friend
among the men serving on the ships of
the American feet in the far east to
whom one proposes sending Christmas
gifts, the following, taken from a little
monthly published on one of the
American battleships at Yokohama, is
timely:
'Should you wish to send him wear
ing apparel, a pair of pink garters
would not be out of order, as these he
wears, but the pay department has
overlooked them in the small stores
Towels and handkerchiefs are accept
able, and a jackknife is a good thing.
The bell strikes every half hour aboard
ship, but a watch might save his being
late for the liberty boat. If you send
him a good fountain pen he may re-
member you more frequently with let
tiers, and if he smokes send him a
pipe, but cut out hand painted neck
ties, cravat pins, slipper cases, collar
boxes and embroidered pillowslips.
Fancy socks will surely catch the
eagle eye of his division officer, and
then he will be up against 'nonreg.'
OF course he would appreciate any
thing you send, yet many things get
spoiled in the bottom Of his bag while
waiting till his time is out."-New
York Evening Post.

NAVY

i uOUue pOTLS VI dL SEA eAtId kOou
"a rations during the Christmas hol-
~ idays are now a special feature
on the United States warships.
The supplies now served are in marked
contrast with those obtainable on the
vessels of the old navy far from home.
Whenever possible the ships are or
dered to home ports for Christmas.
Shortly after arrival the men are put
to work. Inside and out-in cabins, in
wardroom and about the ~desk-there is
q swarm of anne at work. Some
will be painting, and others will be
polishing metal work, ratings. the
monster gunS sAd brass instruments on
the bridge.
Shortly before Christmas all the work
will have been completed. The ships
will be spick and span, and the seamen
will begin to prepare for land. Those
who are to go to their homes in the
south, middle west, New England and
elsewhere probably will leave in time
to reach home on Christmas. Others
will save expenses by remaining aboard
ship. Hundreds of the good conduct
men will have a whole weeks fur
Tough. and when these return others
will go away.
Some of the men ON furlough will not
go home at all. This may be because
their money will be too low to warrant
the expense of a long journey or 1t
may be that they will hear the call OF
the big cities. At any rate they will
arrange it nicely. They will spend the
days ashore and regard their ships as
hotels, whittier they may repair at
night.
They need not bother about the time
of leaving or of reporting. and they
may sleep long after the bosun's whis-
tie has shrilled on the gun deck.
Aside from the big dinner on Christ
mas, there probably will be no set
functions, NO minstrel shows, boxing
contests or theatricals. The trouble
with any such programs will be the
absence on furlough of the indispen-
sable end man OF the popular tenor.
The night before Christmas the popu-
lar streets will be filled with sailors in
their wide trousers and their high col
Jared pea jackets.
When they get enough Of feasting or
acting or singing inside the steel COW
cred hull there is the open sea on
which they row or sail for prizes, some
times competing among themselves,
sometimes racing against the men Of
arOtsse Hme or against
the crew OF a Sci from another u
try. Added OIL these possibilities of
diversion there is often the trip ashore,
if the anchor happens to be lying near
