NEW BARGE MOORs
At THE CITY DOCK

Quite a number of people yester-
day went aboard the new barge
George T. Lock, property of Capt. L.
H. Aiken, which towed, from her an
chorage in the western bay front, was
moored at a wharf, where the craft
will be rugged up for service at once.
This is the barge built for Capt.
Aiken at Lake Charles, La, and
which will be placed in the Pensacola
Cuban lumber trade.
The new barge presents the ap-
pearance of schooner devoid of
spars, and has tonnage of more than
700. Although built for the Cuban
lumber trade, there is every reason
to believe that longer voyages are
not impossible and that lumber will
not be the only product which will
be handled. 1t was stated unofficial
" Yesterday that return cargoes from
Cuba are not improbable, and that
there are prospects of quite trade
both ways being worked up in short
order
The widest interest was manifested
in the Lock yesterday by all who
went on board, the type of work be-
ing employed on the boat being pro-
nounced in class to itself.

DENTAL, AMBULANCE

At the beginning of the war. the
dental surgeon, so far as the Allies
were concerned, was not officially
recognized in Army circles. Indeed,
it was not until the Germans
marched into Brussels, with dent
al post every ten kilometers, that
the Allies appreciated the impor-
tance of oral hygiene.
To-day there are eleven American
dental field ambulances in France
alone. Men. who were formerly sent
home on sick leave, whose only trou-
BILE was their molars, are now kept
at the front. Soldiers, to the num-
Der of a division and a half, have
thus been spared to the army. Fur
thermore, the surgeons insist that a
wounded man with bad teeth makes
slow recovery. And then, too,
army >rations are hard to masticate,
so that the man with poor teeth
"bolts" his food and loses strength
and endurance. In our new Nation
al Army there will be a dentist for
every 500 men.-Popular Science

German Aviator Tells
of Battle in Clouds

A remarkable statement appears
in the December Wide World Maya
zine by German pilot, Second Glass
Airman Haspel, whose machine was
brought down within the French
lines by Adjutant Casale and Ser
Geant Legendre, of the French AVl-
alton Service. Haspel had with him
one passenger, Aviator-Bieutenan
Schultz. who had been wounded in
the arm by the gun of the French
man. Haspel's machine crashed
into a tree. though he himself es-
capped injury. After accepting
cordial from his French captors,
Haspel said: After you hit our
radiator and wounded my passen-
ger, Schultz ordered me to descend
into the French lines so that his arm
might be attended to. l refused,
whereupon he said, L am your SUI
perior, and formally order you to
go down at once. If you do not in
stantly obey you will be punished
