BLUEJACkETS IN WAR ZONE

The bluejackets of the American
destroyers whose arrival in the wal
zone has been announced by the Brit.
ish Admiralty have to thank the wo.
men of the United States for extra
warm wooden clothing which they will
wear on their hard service in the
North Sea and about the British Isles.
Only the first few destroyers to ar
rive were not so QUILTED. They ar,
rived at Queenstown on May 4th, and
their departure from American ports
was so hurriedly made that it was i'm
possible to reach them with the extra
warm wolen garments given to the
other crews. However, such extra
clothing has been SEM them and has
doubtless by this time reached them.
The extra clothing was knitted by
thousands of women all over the
United States who have volunteered
for this work under the direction of
the Comforts Committee of the Navy
League.
1t is a curious fact that the United
States Navy in recent years has been
largely a warm weather navy The
ships were sent south in the winter
for their drills and target practice, u.s.
ually to Guantanamo Bay. In the
spring they returned, engaging in ma
neuvres off the Virginia Capes and
summering most probably at Newport.
Therefore the need of especially warm
clothing has not been felt. But the
service against submarines in the war
zone will be under particularly bad
weather conditions, cold and with
heavy fog. Life in a destroyer at best
is not very comfortable and in cold
weather the thin steel hulls of the
boats offer little or no protection. 1t
will be a new experience for American
sailors and they will need all the
warm clothing and extra protection
they can get.
The appreciation Of the b%luejackets
for this service has been variously ex-
pressed. Many of the women have
put their names on slips of paper in
the articles they have knitted and the
sailors, while waiting in port for the
call to the war zone have written them
their thanks. One young lady received
the following:
"Some sox; some fit;
use one for a helmet
And n for a mitt,
hope I shall meet you
When I've done my bit;
But who in the devil
Taught you how to knit
The responses in other cases has
been serious praise Of the volunteer
work of the American women. One Of
icer wrote: 1.-THE garments will not
only make the men more comfortable
but will render them more efficient in
the performance Of their duties. In
providing this clothing the donors
have aided in the National Defense"
This officer is now in command OF
some of the destroyers in the var
zone.

GOOD PRINT PAPER

Local Wood Shown to Pro-
duce Excellent Grade.

Samples of print paper made from
the timber of Montana forests show a
quality of paper equal to that of any
factory in the country. The samples
were received at the district head
quarters here from the federal eX-
perimental mill at Madison, Wis,
where the pulp timber was taken by
II. +. Surface, pulp expert who spent
several weeks in Missoua and OH the
Flathead last spring. estimating pulp
chances on the I'lathead and Black
foot forests for the Glacier Pulp and
Paper company of Minneapolis.
Plans for the construction of "a mill
which the pulp and paper compan,
intends building at Big Fork have
been delayed by the state laws regard
ing the disposition of waste from pulp
and paper mills. The manufacturers
are at u loss to know how to dispose
of this waste which is recognized! as
deadly to fish life and may therefore
not be dumped into streams or lakes.

Little Chance
to Get Killed
Figures Sh0w
Estimates State That One
Out of Fifteen Meet Death
on Battle Field.

That the risks and casualties of the
fighting units in Uncle SANS great
war machine will not be as great as
Is popularity imagined is the belief of
the marine corps officials at Washing
ton. who recently sent Il communities
ton concerning their war time inves-
LEGATIONS to Sergeant McSwain. ma
rine recruiting officer in Missoula.
After careful estimates the army de-
partment has found that only one man

French and British hospitals show that
the Red Cross corps nurse IS per cent
Of the wounded soldiers back to vigor-
GUS manhood, and 80 per cent return
to revenge their wounds on the firing
line.
The marine corps officials hold un-
biased views in regard to the expected
casualties among their own troops in
France. but It IS pointed out that the
Soldiers OF the Sea- recently engaged
in warfare in Haiti, suffered less than
)ne per cent losses, and these losses
were sustained while covering wide
terrain. fighting from house to house,
and capturing and holding small re-
doubts taken one by one from the
enemy.
This open method of warfare is said
to be rapidly superceding the trench
system on the western front in Eu-
rope.
