Where Mere Boys GrOlU Into British Tars!
Payne Spends Day in EngIatad's Naval Nursery
BY KENNETH w. PAYNE.
(staff Correspondent Of THE EVEN
ING JOURNAL).

AlNN dOOANA>fAAfIs
CPassed by British Naval Censor).
LONDON. Aug. 6.-I have just
spent a day in the nursery Of the
British navy.
In these days OF U-boat savagery
the heroism OF British seamen daily
defying the torpedo has won uniyer-
sal admiration.
The good ship Exmouth IS one Of
score and more Of training ships
betting the British Isles. where thou
sands OF mere boys are being turned
into these heroic seamen.
There are approximately two dozen
tmining ships in various British
rivers and harbors, few under the
admiralty, but most managed by To-
cal committees. The captain OF each
is a member OF the royal navy.
Approximately 10000 boys can be
kept in training all the time. One
naval officer with whom / talked es-
timated the total number now being
schooled at over $4,000!
Anchored down the Thames a few
miles below London Is the Exmouth,
a typical training ship spent a day
on board her, to see the life led by
these lads.
A small boat manned by youngsters
OF an age at which most America
boys are playing marbles. took me
the Bxmouth. on board were 500 bc
who live there month In and month
out.
The lads came aboard at the age
Of nine or ten. They are in many
cases orphans, or from destitute
homes. Their first lessons are In
swimming, and handling their kit.
Each newcomer il given an older boy
for guardian-his "dosser." they
call him-held responsible for the
new boys early progress in his les
sons.
The boys are carried in class rooms
on board clear up to forms Of higher
mathematics our grammar school pu-
pills never reach.
And side by side with this school,
ing they are taught rope-makihg and
sail-making. signalling with
lamp, flags and wireless, sewing,
cooking and navigation.
Inc whole vessel Is run by these
They do the baking, help
the cook aud wait on the visitors
table with a skill and polish no full
grown waiter could better.
They keep the vessel clean and
shining, rub down the decks and wash
and mend their own clothes.
While l wandered about the vessel
one group OF mere children was heav- /
ing the lead, another was engaged in
lessons, a third crowd was
bent over rope lessons, a fourth was
reading tho semaphore, and others |

Many Of these young mu-
sicians viii be playing on one Of his !
maiesty's fighting ships before many |
weeks
How important these training ships
are Is shown by the fact that almost
weekly the British navy takes few
youngsters from this and the other
vessels. What's more, while stin in
their early teens, they are earning at
the start SIS a week, and war boun-
ties besides.

perhaps above it. Two or three of the

Katherine Ridgeway on Saturday

as Denison has invited the chautauqua
for next year and furnished the guar
tantee required we think it proper that
we should be consulted in making up
the list of entertainments for next
season. in fact, before. the guarantee
was signed it was said we would be
consulted in making up the attrac-
lions for next year. Mr.. Keis. the su-
perintendent, made fine impression
and no doubt contributed to the sue
cess of the chautauqua this year.
We congratulate our people because
of the support which promises them
the chautauqua for another year. 1t
is especially encouraging that large
number of people attended this year
who had never been seen upon the
chautauqua grounds before.

cHAUTAUoUA GREAT SUCCESS

The chautauqua which closed on
Sunday night from the standpoint of
attendance was the best one in the
history of our city. The weather may
have had something to do with the
large attendance because. while it was
warm, there were no storms to inter-
fere with the attendance or to make
the roads impossible. People came in
their automobiles for from twenty
miles or more away and on Sunday at
ternoon and evening record break
ing attendance was had. We are not
prepared to say that the talent fur
nished by the chautauqua manage,
ment was the equal Of former years,
because in truth we can recall pro-
grams that exceeded the one in merit
Of this year. But the people seemed
to be growing hungry for chautauqua
entertainment and are less critical
than on former occasions. s44-., .:..s

, FOUR MINUTE MEN SERVICE,

, Reference has heretofore been
made to what is called the -four min
ute men SERVICE" which consists of
speeches of four minutes in Length
and to be made by certain leading cit.
izens at picture shows and other pub
lie places. This service is under the
direction of the government and the
purpose is by the short speeches to
treat subjects which are of vital in
terest to the country. Heretofore,
the liberty loan subject was up for
discussion, the conservation of food
products and subjects of like char
acter. This week the important ques.
ton for discussion is "why we are at
war and the necessity of winning the
war" The subject is not selected by
the speaker, but word is sent out
from headquarters and the speaker
is expected to confine himself strict
ly to the subject and to strike
straight from the shoulder and not
ito talk over four minutes.
The first experiment was tried out
last evening with four minute talk
by Mr.. Geo. McHenry at the opera
house. We were not able to hear, his
>
war" but presume he was able TO-
furnish abundant reasons why Uncle
Sam is engaged in the war: H..
Another four minute address will be
delivered at Midway Heights picture
show on Friday evening Of this week.
The speakers are volunteers and
are supposed to be intensely patriotic
and thoroughly posted on their sub
ject and to confine themselves strict
ly to what is assigned to them. II, the
speaker is not willing to do this he
is dropped from the list of volunteers.
Reports are to be made to headquar-
ters of these speeches in order that
the government will know that its
cause is being properly presented.
Addresses will be given from time to
time as instructions are forwarded
from headquarters. IT,

the women The address of Cover,
nor Harding was intensely patriotic
and he did not hesitate to declare
himself unreservedly in favor OF a
vigorous prosecution of the war, and
urged the people of the state to be-
come reconciled with the thought that
we are in state of war and every
man and every woman in the state
should become enlisted in favor OF a
vigorous prosecution of the war He
made it plain that the duty Of those
who were not eligible to enlist as sol
diers was just as urgent. and in their
field of labor every sacrifice should be
made in order to defend sthe cause*of
the United States in the war. His at
tack upon the speculator and the COM
binations seeking to control food prl-
ces and the men, who, in any aotller
respect, measures his patriotism" by
his ambition to profit in financial
way out of the war was especially
caustic and severe.
Judge Wade's speech was evidently
a prepared effort and showed thor
pugh research, and close consideration
had been given to his address. He
defined Stacker in terms which
should leave the blush Of shame upon
the face of men who are making eX-
cuses for failing to do their duty to-
ward their country A Stacker. ac-
cording to his definition, was. not
alone the man who seeks to escape
service as soldier, but the one who
in any respect seeks to avoid doing
the things which duty points out as
the proper things to be done in order
to aid the government. His reference
to the conduct of certain labor organ
izations in waiting until the govern
ment is in the crisis 1t finds itself in
order to strike and gain advantage
was feature, Of his address, and he
did not hesitate to condemn such
conduct. He had no use for the man
who makes excuses that he is against
the war on account of relationships
which he sustains with people who are
against us in the war. The prediction
was made that the war might last for
some time, but that we should not
shrink from doing our full duty and
making every sacrifice necessary to
win the war. Every patriotic refer
ence was cheered by the large num-
Der of people present.
In the afternoon Ex-Congressman
Nate Kendall, of Abba, Monroe coun-
ty, was called on for an impromptu
talk and for twenty minutes his audi
ence sat spell-bound by the eloquent
address that he delivered. Mr. Kendall
is evidently the greatest orator in
Iowa and will not suffer any in com
parison with the best in the country.
The meeting adjourned after passing
resolutions to stand by the presiden:
and to favor a vigorous prosecution
If the war. The reports of the dele
gates from the various sections of the
state showed that people are becom-
ing more and more aroused to real
zation OF their responsibility and are
to make any sacrifice which
he country demands. e....,., IT,. ..s
