Tells of Service With ~UncIe
Sans Big Navy.
Somewhere at Sea, I"
Oct. IA, for.


Dear Friends:
| have just received the Senti
mel, and read the boys letters
who are in training at Camp
Gordon. Ga, and was glad Il
hear from them.
| thought probably a little
news from a bluejacKet in youl
Uncle's big navy might be OF
interest to you, tho | will have
to be very careful what | say, on
my letter will not get by the
Censor. The navy's movements
and work is kept secret, as there
are so many German agents
throughout the United States,
Every man in the service has
the same address. A sailors
address is New York regardless
of where he is. We are not al
lowed to tell where we are, have
been, nor nothing that would be
of worth to the enemy.

Hampshire, is with the Atlantic

naughts and super dreadnaughts
are larger and have more large
guns. One who has never seen
the fleet can have no idea of how
large it is. To be a few miles
away from it at night it would
have the appearance Of a city rs
large rs Nashville. When we
go across (Which | hope will be
soon) Kaiser Bill will have to
find him a place to hide. with all
these enormous ships and husky
lads he'll think hell is turned
loose.
The first thing that is done
with a recruit when he enliSts
for service in the navy is to put
him in a training station ashore,
and make him tough. teach him
militaryism, and get him in such
a physical condition so he can
stand without complaint the
knocks and jars that are sure to
follow. For example, falling in
to cold water is an ordinary oc-
curence for a seaman. he is
not considered a sailor until he is
cold proof, as long as he takes
bad cold he is celled boot. "

the navy as Rookie" means. in
the army. They are all vaccln-
ated in camp for the prevention

hospital on a ship is called the
sick bay. Ours is empty most
all the time. There is one rea-
son above all others that makes
Uncle Sans bluejackets healthy
and strong, and that is cleanli
ness. Cleanliness is the slogan
of the outfit. If an enlisted mar

he is forced to do it. All The

S. ?. Company to Build at San Francisco
Magnificent Office Building to be Erected at the Foot of
Market Street.

! The new Southern Pacific Build
ing in San Franciso, which, when
completed at the close Of 1917 will
be the largest office structure of its
kind west of Chicago, is beginning
to assume shape. Visitors at the
Ferry Building, at the foot Of Mar
ket Street, can now get an ideafrom
the steel framework, of what it will
look like when completed.
The building which will house
the San Francisco general offices of
the railroad, will be ten stories in
height, 1t will require 20, 900 cub
ic yards of concrete which would
require about 80 cars of cement. 1t
will need $500 tons of steel-4O
tons to a car-and 500 tons of re-
inforcing steel, besides 20 miles or
thirty carloads of piping and piles,
each lis feet long. The building
will weigh when completed, $4,000
tons, the steel averaging $500 tons
and the piling 5000.
Looking after the pi1ing, incid-
entally, has been no small job when
it is considered that the. new struc-
ture, itself, calls for so miles of
pi1ing besides an additional 10 miles
under the Buckley building, accord

are 115 feet long and reach 130
feet below sidewalk to hard-pan,
