0! FOR THE LIFE OF
A PRINTER AT SEA!
Type-Slingers of American
Flotilla Do Nothing But
Work, 1t Seems.

The flotilla printer is one of the
busiest Americans here. He is n ma
tive of Chicago and holds a card in
the Typographical union No. 16. of
that city. Zip" from Chi he Is
called by the buejackets, who seem
to have "A nickname for everything.
Zip" does not go TO sea. He works
on board vessel that swings at q
buoy in this port From morning till
night he is kept busy on the avalanche
OF orders that cone rolling in for
printed stuff for the whole flotilla.
OF late he has been doing some work
for the British naval forces.
His workroom resembles small
tobbing office and is tucked out OF the
way i'm the stern of the flotilla flag
ship. 1t is fenced off with warnings
against intrusion. All type is set by
hand and printed on a small hand
press electrically operated.
The flotilla printer has made hit
by the way in which he illustrates the
program he prints of the entertain
ment provided by the bluejackets at
their shore clubhouse, turning out
rough wood cuts for the cover of the
program. Last week he had "A picture
or the clubhouse with sailors arriving
In limousines. Girls, who are barred
from the clubhouse, are frequently
depicted waiting in automobiles for
the sailors to reappear. His latest ~
tempt was an illustration of that part
OF West Forty-second street, New
York, known as Melody Lane" go
with the burlesque of that musical
thorofare produced by the sailors.
The flotilla printer is chief petty
officer with the rating of first class
printer. With the increase in pay
made recently he gets S62 n month 10
printer ana to this must be added his
$50 year allowance as a naval re-
serve man, which brings his monthly
stipend up to $40. Uncle Sam pays his
board and lodging. A satisfactory fea-
ture is that there is composing
room foreman to boss him. He alone
in the whole flotilla knows his Job

SEEK BIDS ON LAYING
OF NEW WATER MAINS
Tity Commissioners Meet in
Special Session to Adver-
tise improvements.

At a special meeting of the board
of city commissioners held yesterday
morning 1t was voted 70 advertise for
bids for the laying of 1900 feet of "a
inch water mains from the pumping
station to point on Main street, the
work to be gotten under way as soon
as the successful bidder has been de-
termined.
Already majority of the pipe for
these mains has been placed along
Seventh street and there should be but
little delay in getting the work started
as soon as the bids are opened ard
the contract awarded. That it will
take considerable time to lay these
mains is shown by the fact that it
will be the city's intention to lay the
pipe along Seventh street under the
parking between the street pavement
and the sidewalk.
In pursuing this program there will
be no traffic Interruptions, and while
the city commissioners have discussed
at length this proposition which will
eliminate all torn-up pavement, they
have also been confronted with the
task of laying the mains without in
juring the shade trees along Sixth and
Seventh streets, which thorofares the
mains are to traverse.
1t will be specifically stated in the
contract between the successful bidder
and the municipality that the trenches
must be dug with as little injury to
shade trees as possible. There was no
other business transacted. altho the
matter of the intake at the pumping
station was expected to be placed be-
fore the commission. Inability OF the
engineer to have his plans in readi-
ness yesterday was responsible for an

Washington, d. c., April 49,
A German submarine today fired
on the destroyer Smith, about
100 miles south of New York.
The presence of enemy sub

indicates that the threatened

M. on the seventeenth, an enemy
submarine was. sighted by the U.

submerged. Submarine fired a
torpedo at the U. s. S. Smith,
which missed her by thirty yards.
The wake of the torpedo was
plainly seen crossing the bow.

counter CAME to the navy depart

picked up the Smiths report say
ing she had been fired upon by a

The navy department, after

Whether the presence of the

the signal for the beginning of a
