Result Of Soldiers Vote

Below is published the result of
the soldiers votes in Stevens county,
showing just how many of the SOL
dier votes each candidate received.
It is interesting to compare the re-
suits and see just which candidates
got the heavy vote Except
for the common mistake on attor-
ney-general. In every case the
loyal candidates got the majority
of the votes cast and it is significant
that Peterson and Lindbergh did not
get a vote from the soldier boys.
Judge Stenger is proud Of the fact
that he received every soldier vote
cast by the soldiers and Mr.. Mangan
also received 81 out of the "a.

CHAPTER il.
The War Breaks,

U0 war 0EV8kUs
After serving four years and three
months in the q. 8. navy, I received
an honorable discharge on April IA,
1914. held the rank of chief petty
officer, f1rst-class gunner. It Is not
uncommon for garbies to lie around a
while between enlistments-they like
q vacation as much as anyone-and 1t
was my intention to loaf for few
months before Joining the navy again.
After the war started, Of course, I
had heard more or less about the Ger
man atrocities in Belgium, and while
I was greatly interested, I was doubt
full at first as to the truth Of the re.
ports. for I knew how news gets
changed In passing from mouth to
mouth, and I never was much Of q
hand to believe things until ! saw
them, anyway. Another thing that
caused me to be interested in the war
was the fact that my mother was born
in Alsace. Her maiden name. DER
vieux. is well known in Alsace. I had
often visited my grandmother In st.
Nazaire. France. and knew the coun.
try. So with France at war. It was
not strange that I should be even
more interested than many other
garbies.
As / have said, I did not take much
stock in the first reports Of the Huns
exhibition Of kultur, because Fritz IL

that no real sailor would ever get

Something to "ereet" About.

Something to "Greet" About.
Persons casting about for something
to worry about may take pleasure in

ing 1t, dominic. but I can never forget
that 1t was seen In the year ~ just
afore the great storm. I was only a
laddie then, but mind how that awful
wind stripped a. the standing corn IN
the glen in less time than we've been
here at the waters edge. It was called
the deil's bosom. My fathers utmost
words to me was, It's time eneuch to
greet, laddie, when you see the au-
rora borealis.'" Waster Lunny was

twelve hours later the Quharity was
out Of its banks, washing out the corn
and with years store Of wool on its
crest was dashing out to sea.

the same rations and equipment US the
regular French army before 1t went to
the front. Their food consisted of
bread. soup, and vino, as wine is called
almost everywhere in the world. In
the morning they received half q loaf
Of Vienna bread and coffee. At noon
they each had large dixie of thick
soup, and at three In the afternoon
more bread and bottle Of vino. The
soup was more like a stew-very
thick with meat and vegetables. At
one Of the officers barracks there was
cook who had been chef in the larg-
est hotel in Paris before the war.
All the prisoners were we'll clothed.
Once week, socks, underwear, soap,
towels and blankets were issued to
them. and every week the barracks
and equipment were fumigated. They
were given the best of medical atten-
ton.
Besides all this, they were allowed
to work at their trades, If they had
any. All the carpenters, cobblers,
tailors and painters were kept busy.
and some Of them picked up more
change there than they ever did in
Germany, they told me. The musi-
clans formed bands and played almost
every night at restaurants and thea
tiers in the town. Those who had no
trade were allowed to work on the
roads, parks, docks and at residences
about the town.
Talk about dear old Jail! You could
not have driven the average prisoner
away from there with 14-inch gun.

I spent most of my time with my
grandmother. had heard still more
about the cruelty of the Huns, and
made up my mind to get into the ser.
vice. Murray and Brown had already
enlisted in the Foreign Legion, Brown
being assigned to the infantry and
Murray to the French man-of-war Cas-
sard. But when I spoke of my inten-
tion, my grandmother cried so much
that I promised her would not enlist
that time, anyway-and made the
return voyage In the Virginian. We
were no sooner loaded in Boston than
back to st. Nazaire we went.

the British, their vessels were ship.
shape all the time. and were run as
sweet as q clock.
There is no use comparing the vari-
GUS navies as to which is best; some
are better ut one thing and some at
another. The British navy, Of course,
is the largest, and nobody will deny
that at most things they are topnotch
least Of all themselves; they admit
1t. But there is one place where the
navy Of the United States has It all
over every other navy on the seven
seas. and that is gunnery. The Amer
lean navy has the best gdnners in
the world. And do not let anybody
tell you different.

"Gunner Depew" is not a
work Of fiction, but it is
more thrilling than any fic-
ton you ever read. tits the
true story Of the expert

who had a fighting career
that is unique in the annals
OF the great war. 1t is a
story crowded with fighting
and adventure - big with
human courage and endur-

German prison camps. It
is a story that every Ameri-

After this they did not haze me
much. This was the beginning Of q
certain reputation that I had in the
navy for fst-work. Later on I had a
reputation for swimming, too. That
first day they began calling me
"Chink," though I don't know why,
and It has been my nickname in the
navy ever since.
1t is curious thing, and I never
could understand 1t, but garbies and
marines never mix. The marines are
good men and great fighters, aboard
and ashore, but we garbies never have
word for them, nor they for us. On
shore leave abroad we pal up with
foreign garbies. even. but hardly ever
with marine. OF course they are
with us strong in case we have scrap
with liberty party of some foreign
ship-they cannot keep out Of fight
any more than we can-but after 1t
is over they are on their way at once
and we on ours.

that class perform it's part in Eng
lands wars that there were soon
"yeomen of the guard" and the
language became enriched by such
expressions as, "did yeomen SER
vice. and fought right yeomanly."
The good, clean earnest American
girls who have entered the navy in
the humble capacity of yeomen are
the spiritual descendants of an an
cestry for which they need never
blush.
The uniform of the Red Cross

the munition workers wear overalls

the active service of their country.
Nothing so beautiful and so
wholesome" continues the writer,
has ever happened in this country
before. We have never had an
aristocracy here of the sort they
have in Europe, and we do not want
one now; but nothing could be bet
ter for us than such an aristocracy
of dress as the girls who have en-
tered the government service or
are helping it in other ways, have
made possible. Those who are en-
titled to wear these uniforms need
no urging. They feel their new
dignity and while they may never
have known or have forgotten what
aristocracy means IN Greek they
feel instinctively that they are
members of that new aristocracy
of dress whose device is a uniform
and whose motto is service"

An Aristocracy of Dress

"The government has already
recognized and standardized about
twenty different uniforms for wo-
men," says a writer in the Youths
Companion. "The uniform of the
women yeomen-Norfolk coat of
navy blue with brass buttons, plain
blue skirt, and black sailor hat of
heavy braid-is so attractive that
it makes even a homely girl look
handsome and the insignia of rank
on the left arm-the one, two or
three red stripes with the eagle and
the crossed quills-give just the
right touch of color"
1t is worth while to note the ex-
pressions of these girls. They are
for the most part serious, earnest,
dignifed Their brothers are in
most cases in the army or IN
branches of the naval service that
do not admit women, but in the
capacity of yeomen they can do
their bit and are proud of it.
There is something in the look
of these yeomen that calls up the
original meaning of the word. In
Shakespeare's time it meant the
free born, the sturdy, independent
middle class that is the bone and
sinew of every nation. So we'll did
