BY BASIL WALTERS

Allentown, Penna-. Aug. al don't
feel sorry for any young man who has
been drafted.
The young fellow who isn't going to
take advantage OF the experiences
Uncle Sam is offering is the man who
needs the sympathy. And OF course,
there is the chance to serve ones
country in time OF peril.
From an educational standpoint, the
army has a college backed off the
map.
Small Chance to Lose Job.
Then there's another nice thing
about the army. There's little danger
Of a soldier losing his job.
The drafted man is going to run up
against things he has never been &C.
customed to. Here are some sugges-
tons gathered from experience in the
army which may be of use to the new
soldier as well as to those who are left
behind.
An absolute necessity in the army
is comfort" kit These can be pur-
chased but are valued much more If
they are made by a friend. These
kits should be made of khaki cloth.
Hang EN- Up.
The kind which rolls up and which
can be hung up when in use is most
appreciated. These kits should con-
tain a complete safety razor outfit.
Shaving cream which can be used
without a mug is used generally. A
bar of medicated soap should be en-
closed in a metal case.
Foot powder is a necessity. The
tooth brush should be in case which
permits the air to pass through. A
wash rag of the rubber type should
be included.
Bible is Included.
Buttons, needles and thread, pins
and safety pins should not forgotten.
A small Bible is often included. A
mirror is required-the non-breakable
kind is desirable.
Only essentials should be included
in these kits. Extras become burdens
On long marches.
Everybody is asking, What can we
do for our boys?"
The best thing that close friends can
do is to write many letters. Soldiers
appreciate them much and there are
always long waiting lines at the post,
office.
"Are Moral insurance."
Letters occupy the soldiers spare
time and keep the home ties tight
Letters and the amusements furnished
by the Army Y. NJ. G. A. are moral
insurance" for the soldiers.
Foods from home are often appre
ciated but it is against the army reg
ulations to take food in the barracks
This is done to protect the sanitary
conditions of the camp.
When food Is sent, 1t should be In
small quantities. The army food is

GREAT LAKES, ILL.,, Aug. 4-"Music
hath power" Among other things to
train voices for commands At least
this is the belief Ct ]. NJ. Maurice,
bandmaster of the United States Nav
al Training Station here, and upon
this theory he holds regular singing
school for bluejackets at the station.
1t is proverbial of course. that the
bluejackets in Uncle Sans Navy al
ways have a song on their lips no mat
ter what their work may be. There
are songs for every occasion, and 9th
ers for no particular occasion at all.
That these all may be as musical as
possible is one of the efforts being
made by the station singing school.
Never is Sweet A-d-e-l-i-n-e" SO
soulful1y rendered as by some thou
sands Of Uncle Sans nephews now
in training at Great Lakes, and espe.
cially when a dozen or more blue
jackets stringed bands play the &C.
compartment.
Musicians Are Welcomed.
Every company Of recruits has its
own quota of songsters and musicians.
A new man with a mack Of picking a
stringed instrument or with an excep-
tional voice, never lacks welcome in
the service.
1t is in the evening. as the night
breezes from Lake Michigan begin to
blow, that these sessions Of the sing
ing school are held-that the blue
jackets break out" their ukeleles,
nandolins, and guitars and make
their way to the natural amphithea-
tire in the ravine northwest of the sta
ton, to life their voices in song.
To a visitor approaching within a
half mile of the ravine the impression
given is that the young men are try
ing their lungs on songs they all know,
and after singing a verse or two ex-
pressing appreciation or adverse crit
icism in yells which have been said to
resemble that of the southern troops
in the Civil war. Apparently the tun-
ing-up number at the singing school
is my Old Kentucky Home" for it is
with this selection that a session al
ways begins. Then comes Sweet
Adeline," or any one of a hundred
sentimental numbers.
Thoughts Of Girl.
Perhaps it Is the thought OF "Ade-
line back on the farm In Nebraska,
or in her apartment in one of Chica.
COS suburbs, or working for the Navy
Relief Society In Kansas City, that
makes the singing more harmonious.
Or. again, it may be that the blue
Jackets are OF the age at which "Ade-
line appeals most strongly, in which
case they can be compared with Bay

WILSON AFFIRMS
CONFIDENCE IN

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-President

assurances to be sincere"

"Spends Money Like
Sailors is Passe

GREAT LAKES, ILL.,, Aug 4.-The
phrase. Spends his money like a
sailor is fast becoming obsolete, for
the modern bluejacket generally comes
out of the service with rounder bank
account than that of his civilian bro
Their With the recent increase of pay
in the Navy, savings in the ships
banks have increased enormously
The gospel of saving is preached con-
tinuously in the Navy. and with effect.
At the Great Lakes Naval Training
Station, where 10000 jackies are in
training. representing the lowest rank
and correspondence the smallest paid
body of men in the Navy, nearly
$4,000 has been deposited. The
amount is not surprisingly large, but
considering that the average jackie
has been at the Station for only lit
tie more than month, it shows that
they have caught the spirit. Civilian
banks adjacent to the Training Sta
ton also carry considerable savings
accounts for the jackies
At the Training Station, as on ev-
cry ship in the Navy, there is a bank
for the exclusive use of the jackies in
which they can deposit their savings
and draw 4 per cent. interest. Such
deposits are required to remain in the
bank for the period of the depositor's
enlistment and it is not uncommon
for the sailor to come from his cruise
with a good sum set aside for a rainy
day.
Of course. there are no rainy days
in the Navy as the bluejacket is cared
for in sickness and is always sure Of
his job as long as he behaves him
self, but many who leave the service
find that this financial backing comes
in handy. There is no small number
Of men in the service who boast bank
accounts and investments that would
make a civilian considered well of"
in his community.

MANY RESTRAINTS
 FOR GOVERNOR
(Cordova Times)

It seems to be generally believed among the Democrats that Major J. F. A. Strong will not seek reappoint- ment as governor of Alaska when his present term expires next spring, And what has been the result. Prac- ticaly every prominent and near prominent member of the party in power is a candidate for this high office. It is understood that Judge Jennings, of the First division, is willing to resign from the bench, as is also Judge Bunnell, of the Fourth division, if they can land the guber- natorialship. John w. Troy, of the Juneau Empire, would not be adverse to having the lightning strike in his direction, while the Panama valley has a score of willing Democrats who banker after the job, among them being E. w.
