REcoLLEcTloNs or THE DAYS OF
YORE.

/ came aboard the Sherman on a day
/ can't forget
With my grips and my clothing, ev-
erything was wet,
And my poor head was so heavy, that
it made my shoulders vince,
But kept right on moving, I've been
moving ever since.
didn't pause moment on an over
crowded deck,
There wasn't room to look around, or
even rubberneck;
But went below and found a place
where everything was clear,
When someone banged me hard and
said: Get out! You can't stay
here!"
Since then I've wandered fore" and
aft" from starboard side to port,
I'm looking for a place to rest OF al
most any sort
My back is weak and wobbly and my
knees are stiff and sore
I've got some corns in places where
they never been before;
If / stand still moment someone
walks upon my toes.
I've been scalded with hot coffee and
been squirIed with a hose:
And just when have found place
where can pound my ear,
It's "Gangway! Hot stuff! Get out!
You can't stay here ~
Now when | die and go below among
the burning Goals,
And hear the wailing of the lost and
screams of tortured souls,
I'll pick some big smooth Jumps OF
coal and pile them nice and neat
To shield me from the furnace and to
cool my blistered feet,
Then when I've shut out sights and
sounds of wailing and of roams,
And have found place at least to
rest my weary bones,
The. devil will step out and say with a
satanic leer,
Get busy with the black gang, you
Get out! You can't stay here."

ARMY FLYERS in
MEXICO TELL OF
THRILLINGDIVES
IBy Associated Pressl

FIELD HEADQUARTERS AMERI,
CAN PUNITIVE EXPEDITION IN
MEXICO, Nov. 30.-"Get there and
back" is the motto of the punitive
expeditions aero squadron. Censor
ship restrictions have placed an al
most impenetrable hedge about the
army aviators, but it may be said
the squadron has lived up TO its motto,
Flights are not begun at sea level,
where the propeller blades can grip
the air, but at a height of 5000 to
1000 feet, where the. atmosphere is
thin. The mountains, canons and sun
baked plains plus the altitude, COM
bine to produce air currents and peck
cts that are constant source OF peril.
In one case pilot went through
that nightmare Of all aviators, "a spiral
nose dive. The machine was flying at
an altitude of 5000 feet, which is
more than 10000 above sea level, when
it struck an air pocket. Clouds OBJ
scured the pilots vision and he had
no idea where be was When the rea-
lized that manipulation Of his controls
produced no effect, he glanced at his
compass. It was turned sideways, in
dicating that his plane was falling
with its wings at right angles to the
earth. Carefully he reversed his con-.
trolls, fearing that too quick re-
verse would crumple the planes. Sew
eral times he did that. At last he
felt them take hold.
Just then, the clouds thinned and
he saw the earth not more than 500
feet beneath him. He had fallen like
a plummet at least 1000 feet
Another pilot at an altitude of sew
eral thousand feet early one morn
ing noticed a sheet of flame shoot from
the hood of his machine Startled, he
began to volplane down, seeking a
place to lard. he throttled down the
motor and the flame receded. When
he gave the engine gas a few moments
later to regain momentum, the flame
reappeared. Several times this oc-
Cured. Finally he glided TO earth
and got out to inspect the areoplane.
Everything seemed in good shape:
There we're no signs of fire. The
flame he had seen had been the rays
of the early morning sun cleaning on
ly polished red blades of his
propeller.

Chief Donnely
Found" Man He
Met Every Day

To be hunting for a man that you
speak to about three times day and
to want him so much that you ask a
newspaper to publish notice of it
this is the unique experience that
Frederick Donnelly, genial clerk at Ha-
waiian department headquarters, has
just gone through.
Donnelly. who is one of the wheel
horses of the Woodmen of the World
in this city, has been hunting for sew
eral weeks for one w. Mayo, because
he wished to pin big silver badge on
him. Finally, after the clerk had
looked through all the city directories
he could find, he told the Star Bulletin
of his troubles.
II guess that paper wasn't any more
than off the press till half a dozen
telephone calls told me that Mayo
was manager of the cafe at the
Young" says Donnelly. About an
hour later somebody went down and
got him and he was brought up and
introduced to me. realized then that
he and | were old friends, that ! had
seen him and spoken to him every
day for three months"
Donnelly adds that if he were a
merchant he would go in for adver
Using to the limit.

MANY OFFICERS
HERE AFFECTED
BY new ruling

Just how sweeping will be the pro-
posed resumption of the foreign ser
vice roster for officers of Oahu is noe
known as yet. but to all indications il
will include large number.
The rule that an officer shall return
to the mainland after three years Of
service here will affect several score,
according to the belief at army head
quarters.
Sergeants come under the ruling as
we'll as commissioned officers and re-
tain their atings If transferred. Cor.
porals lose their ratings in transfer.
\ Under the new clause for army re-
serve men, which provides that three
years instead Of four are to be served
before entering the reserve, it is not
likely that many of the enlisted men
here can be affected, as the term of
service is also three years under the
foreign service act. No official an
nouncement had been received up to
last night at army headquarters.

Wide Range IN
SEAPLANE BIDS

Wide range in bids for the construc-
ton of 14S seaplanes for the army
marked the opening of tenders on
November % in the War Department.
The prices ranged from $4,000 to
S2S,5O0 a machine with almost as
great variations in the speed and
climbing power which the makers
guaranteed for their products.
The Benoist Aeroplane Company of
Sandusky, O., made the lowest price,
offering to construct all the machines
for $4,000 each. This company, how
ever, guaranteed speed of only 90
miles and hour and ability to climb
5000 feet in ten minutes
The Buffalo Aeroplane Company
guaranteed a speed of 80 miles an
hour and ability to climb $500 feet in
ten minutes. This company, however,
wants. $14,570 apiece for 80 machines
and $18,475 for four machines.
} The terms and specifications offer.
ed by the better-known companies
were rather less attractive than those
of the less prominent concerns. The
Curtiss Company, for example, set a
price of $22,500 apiece for machines
which it would not guarantee to climD
more than 1000 feet in ten minutes,
or to range in speed more than s.
miles an hour. The highest price
asked, by the Wright Martin Compa-
ny, was $29,497 for each of II ma
chimes Ten concerns made bids.

EFFICIENCY OF
navy IMPROVES

!. WASHINGTON, ID. C., Dec. How
the American navy has improved its
battle efficiency by great strides In
the last few years was detailed to the
house naval committee today By Capt
Charles p Plunkett, director of gun
merry exercises.
But while there has been constant
Improvement in many ways, he said,
much remaihst 70 -hesti0ne.sa
The Atlantic fleet showed an Inn
provement of 20 per cent in target
practise last fall at the short range
firing, which Is the only method OF
determining individual efficiency.
Target practise Is 80 per cent crew
and l per cent material" said Capt.
Plunkett, adding that the greatest
stumbling block for the navy lies in
the fact that IS per cent OF the Off
GERS and men of ship are shifted
each year through expiration OF en-
listments or the necessity of filling
vacancies elsewhere. Lack of a sur
plus of personnel on which t. draw
to fill these vacancies or to commits
SIGN new ships, he said, created this
condition which made 1t necessary to
begin all over again each year in train
ing gun crews.
1t was brought out that the navy Is
preparing to work the guns Of its new
ships up to 10000 yards. although 16..
900 was considered maximum battle
range up to the outbreak Of the Euro
pean war. To spot the fire at is
mics kite balloons will be carried BY
every battIeship.
