retail ice dealers or their drivers re-
garding the drumming up Of trade
ana the delivery OF ice at Individual
apartments. Ono housekeeper in the
northwest section protested today
that her. ice was arriving later each
morning and looked smaller each day.
until finally she decided to change
dealers. When she attempted to do
this she was notified by the janftor
that this would not be permitted, say
ing that only ice from the former
dealer could be delivered in that
apartment.
A number Of complaints have been
received about having to tip the men
who deliver the ice or else be en-
tireN neglected or subjected to dis
agreeable and inconvenient service.
All OF these complaints are today
being Investigated and the local food
administration stated that there is no
question about their being remedied.

tors to interfere with the ice distri-
ontion oonon.d OF ne. she city; and all cases dis

MARIETTA BOY TELLS
%X|S EXPERIENCES ON
SHIP Of GRAND FLEET.

from their son, Omra Autry, OF the
United States navy. The letter is
dated November 2l: Mother
< dear: Well, our letters won't be CEN
sored any more, so | will write you
what | please. | shall try to tell you
everything you want to know, There
are FIVE American ships in our
squadron. The Texas. New York,
Wyoming, Florida and Arkansas.
We form the Sixth Squadron of the
Grand Fleet OF England, and we are
under command of Admiral Beatty,
Our ships are located at Firth of
Forth, and Scapa Flow, in Scotland
You can easily locate them both on
the map of Scotland,
81 know you have been worrying
about me lots and part OF the time
you really had cause to worry. On
our way from Scapa Flow to Firth
OF Forth we were attached by sub
marines twice, but both OF them had
the fatal result OF being sunk I'M
mediatcly by depth charges from
destroyers. They fired two torpe-
does, but missed their mark by
%narrow margin. This was among our
| hrSt adventures. OF course, to us
~ was nothing much for we aren't
al all afraid of submarines. This is
ancient history TO me now-so will
tell you of the happenings of the
present time. We have Just returned
to port with the grand fleet (of
which we are part) after bringing
in the German navyn | know YOU
have heard of it all by this time. We
left the North Sea on the morning
of the 2lst OF November, about I
o'clock, We met the German navy
at about 9 o'clock the same morning
and brought them back to anchor
in the Firth of Forth. This day will
certainly go down in history and
is a glorious day for us, because ii
definitely ends this great war.
Remember Grand Fleet.
Remember always that the grand .
fleet-of which we are the Sixth |
Squadron-brought in the German
navy.
I'VE had lines of ships on both
sides of their ships, and all guns
were ready to fire in case they made
a false move, which of course they /
did not. Now they are safely an
chored and the war is over for good. /
I'VE have been inspected by the /
king and queen of England and also
by a japanese admiral. Every great |
ally is represented in the grand fleet
and that is the reason we like it so
well.
81 know you are anxious to know
when we will return, but frankly, | |
do not know. | don't think though,
at the most that it will eX-
Aeeed three months. We may be home
by Christmas, but of course, we do
