"ADMIRAL. SIMS"
is LEFT ON PIER

many stripes as the whole navy board
combined Accordingly some wit chris
tened it admiral Sims" Within an
hour of the presentation every man
was talking of the admiral" and the
good luck the blue-eyed kitten carried
with it.
Rumor of its coming preceded it,
but by the time the news reached the
port of embarkation 1t was the real
Admiral Sims that was accompanying
the troops. Hence the diSappOint-
ment when Americas hero did not
appear.
Now admiral Sims travelled in a
wicker basket that was carried by
trustworthy corporal, who, while wait
ing on the jetty, placed his precious
load on the ground. Suddenly the or
der was given to embark, and in the
excitement of the moment the basket
was forgotten. Away went the trans
port amid cheers and flags and only
when the riot of JOY had ceased was
the admiral" missed.
What was to be done? To land in
France was to court disaster. Accord
ingly the matter was referred to the
general, who at once approached the
captain of the ship. All sailors are SUI
perstitious, and particularly where
cats are concerned The skipper thor
oughly sympathized. Yes, he would
arrange matters somehow; and he did.
DESTROYER Rushes to Rescue.
It was dusk. A mile or so outside
the harbor one could just see the long
gray forms of three or four destroyers;
they were the escort Here was his
chance. In a twinkling he made the
following signal to the o. c.: admiral
Sims left on quay. Can you EMBARK"
Such an honor no commander in his
maiesty's fleet was likely to refuse.
Within a few minutes, therefore, de-
strOyer was tearing toward the -harbOr
to embark Americas greatest sailor.
AS she neared her destination she
"blinked" a signal to the port author
fly: Returning for Admiral Sims:
please inform"
Another ten minutes, with the sea
washing over her bow, her siren boot
ing, and the crew at quarters, the de-
StrOyer fetched up alongside, ready to
receive her hOnored charge. Then. to-
the establishment of all, q deckhand
hurried TO the landing stage and held
out basket. "Where's the admiral?'
shouted the commander. Inside this
ERE" was the reply, and without an
other word the basket, with the kitten
half hanging out was handed on
board.
Imagine the commanders feelingsI
They were expressed in exact ratio as
he put his helm hard aport and sour
ried off to rejoin the escort. His fury
was like unto monsoon Nevertheless,
he ran alongside the transport and
transhipped his cargo, for duty Is duty.
And now if you ask him whether ne
knows Admiral Sims he will tell You
that he once met him that he was the
best shipmate he bad ever known;
that he talked very little, never
smoked, slept most of the day and
drank nothing but milk.
Few things annoy the commander
more than if you reply, rats"

"blesse" was hit In the face and was
so bandaged up that he couldn't see.
l couldn't step on my left leg, so l

FINALLY we got back into the little
village where the surgeon was work
ing in a cellar. l was about all in

There were some terribly wounded
men in that cellar and the surgeon
was working without any anaesthetic.

proceeded to q wine cellar, there to
seize as much as our hearts desired.
The men of the ammunition column,
located in the village as we'll as the
sanitary soldiers and cavalry by the
hundreds, searched the houses and took
whatever they liked best. The finest
and largest business places in Suippes
served a very large rural district sur
rounding and therefore were stocked
up on almost everything. Within
short time these places had been
cleaned out. The munition drivers
and train columns carried away old
pieces of silk, ladies' dresses, linens,
shoes, dress goods and every other ar
ticle imaginable, and stored them away
in their ammunition cases. They took
children'S and women's shoes, and
everything else they could lay their
hands upon, although many Of these
articles had to be thrown away short
ly afterward. Later, when the field
post was developed and gave regular
service, many of these things were sent
home.
A large chocolate factory was robbed
completely, and chocolate and candy
in heaps were trampled in the ground.
Empty houses were broken into and
wrecked. wine cellars cleaned out and
windows smashed. the latter being a
special pastime of the cavalrymen. As
we had to pass the night In the open,
we tried to find some quilts and en-
tered a grocery store and a market
place. The store was partly demol-
ished, but the apartment upstairs was

MENTAL SCIENCE
BEFORE CLUB

Health Insurance" was presented
by S. A. Pelton at the regular meeting
of the Fortnightly club at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. A. Reinking on Friday
night. So far as known laws provid-
ing for health insurance have not been
enacted in any state in the union, but
bills have been before several legisla-
lures and before congress. Mr.. Pei
ton gave the following as the def1ni-
ton of health Insurance.:
Health insurance is usually oper-
ated under government systems
and provides that all employed
persons in certain occupations
earning less than specified an
nual income be entitled, in case of
illness, to certain benefits.
Ten years ago no American state
had workingman's compensation act
on it's statute books. Today there are
"a such laws in force, and Mr.. Pelton
believed that health insurance in many
states would follow. The law is in
tended to insure those who receive a
minimum wage, the insurance being
paid by the state, the employer and
employee, the latter receiving all of
the benefits. Samuel Gompers is OPP
posed to the move because, he says, it
will limit the freedom of the wage
Garner The big insurance companies
of the country are also opposed, and
for this reason many thought the
scheme a good one. Governor Mccall
of Massachusetts said:
| am strongly of the opinion that
there is no form of social insur-
ance that is more humane, Sounder
in principle, and that would confer
greater benefit upon large groups
of our population and upon the
commonwealth as whole than
health insurance.
Some members thought that health
insurance was too much of a tend
ency toward government control to
the detriment of the individual.
MENTAL SCIENCE
The subject of Mental Science"
was discussed by S. J. Hood. He
led up to mental science by discuss
ing briefly the clairvoyant, the hypno-
fist, the spiritualist and other ideas,
where the mind is supposed to play
the major part He was not deeply
impressed by most Of their methods
and beliefs.

urged.
Judge James OTeill sdmonished
all to avoid intemperance in the use
of liquor, in the use of tobacco, and
to live right.
Faith in the family doctor, and other
phases of medicine were discussed by
the members, many shades of opinion
being given.
With Mrs. G. w. Snyder at the pi-
ano, Miss Olga Reinking favored the
club with vocal numbers.
