NAVY LEAGUE

Comforts Committees, formed all
over the United States, have charge
of making various articles of cloth
ing, equipment and comfort which
the women may be able to supply
European experience shows that
while the government clothing out
tit is satisfactory in peace time, it is
deficient for war service. Men are
called on for long periods of picket
boat duty or other work which ex-
poses them to trying conditions Of
sea and weather. Duty in the mine
fields rapidly destroys clothing. Res
cues have to be made or ship
wrecked people cared for, and cloth
ing must be furnished to them.
So, it becomes desirable to have
civilian organizations furnish to the

Did you know that the kaiser's
number is "6?"
Some fiend for facts in the en-

Here it is:
The kaiser is the man who started
the war; Serbia is the country where
the war was started.
There are six letters in each of
these words, and if written together
and divided in halves, these halves
also spell 'kaiser" and Serbia: ~
