feet draft. Her armament consisted
of four 12-inch and twelve 6-inch

is now the Japanese Iwami. The
Slava was stationed in the Gulf of
Riga as long ago as April. 1916. in
which month the German admiralty
reported having dropped bombs upon
her in that gulf, several hits and a
fire being reported. Her men were
involved in the disaffection in the

Letter from Robt Downs


Washburn Times,
Washburn. Wis.
Dear Bill:
We are now comfortably settled in
our new barracks and have more
time for such things as writing letters
and am taking this opportunity to
write this long planned letter.
Have been in the navy nearly four
months and it has been an education
in itself just to live here.
When | arrived a battleship, in
for repairs, was being used as Re-
ceiving Ship. Conditions were bad.
The weather was one cold wet day
after another. The ship was crowded
SO that it was hard to get anything
to eat and | slept on the gun deck
under 6 inch rifle several nights
with only blanket.
Fer the past three months the
Electrical Glass has been quartered
on the German liners, which we are
repairing, attiring and arming for
transport service. Life on them
was a little bit better but there was
always a shortage of water on these
ships and the lighting was poor.
AS | said before we moved into
the new barracks last Friday and |
want to say that they are fines
The compartments are well lighted
and ventilated. There are a few
hundred shower baths and a good
place to wash clothes.
The mess hall is operated on the
Cafeteria system and works fine. The
raw serves my fine Chow" as it is
called here.
The barracks are built on the site
of the City Park and fills a city
block. We have our own power
house on the grounds and hot and
cold water.
The navy school is too small tc
handle all the electricians SO about
600 of us are going to Pratts In
stitute of Brooklyn, one OF the best
schools of it's kind in the state. The
length of the course at school varies
with the ability of the man. was
in the first. company sent to Pratts
and about forty of us passed ex-
animation for the Short course" !
was one OF them. Have been going
to school seven weeks and four more
will finish the course for me. Will
then get my rating as 3rd class
Electrician.
The course at school covers several
subjects which include Electricity
and the operation and repair of
Electric machines. Instruction is
also given on Machine shop practice,
forge work, steam and internal COM
bustion engines. The school is well
equipped with apparatus for practical
instruction.
Don't hear much about the war
here but l hope TO be on ship in a
couple of months.
Find life here interesting but
rather strenuous. Busy from a. M:
to six every day and once in while
a drill in New York in the evening.
Have enjoyed myself here and have
never regretted enlisting in the
navy.
Best regards.
