VOYAGE PLEASANT

Mrs. Clara Hovey Gilman Writes of In
teresting Features of Her Trip
Across the Atlantic.

II will interest the friends of Mrs.
Clara Hovey Gilman Mrs. Dana III. Gil
man to know that, sailing from New
York city on one of the large trans
Pacific liners, she arrived in England aft
er pleasantly uneventful passage.
Mrs. Gilman, who is enrolled as a
Y. NJ c. A. hut worker, was much inn
pressed with the large convoy of destroy
ers accompanying the fleet; when one
boat fell behind, destroyer immediate
" went to see if there was trouble.
At given point our destroyers were
met and replaced by others from Great
Britain.
The trip was made unusually pleas
ant by having one of THE Folles" COM
pany on board who was most generous
in giving his services, dancing and recit-
ing, TO break the ponotony of the trip.
There were number of musical in
struments on board, including good
piano, guitars and ukelele, also "a heavy
piece of cardboard for drum played
with sticks wrapped in rags, and China
plate which think is supposed to take
the place of cymbals; this is played with
knives. giving sound between a clat-
ter and Jingle, perfectly indescribable

service; entirely Chinese was the latter,
giving quite an eastern touch, The
staterooms were comfortable, but as the
portfolios had to be closed at 100 the
only change in the air was from the
| electric fans which had to be kept con-
stantly in motion.
Wherever the passengers went they
were Obliged to carry their life preserver
being sent back by the guard if without
one.
Sleeping in a life preservcr with what
an officer tactfuly called street clothes,
as the people had TO do for two or three
nights in the danger zone, is not exactly
comfortable, as square pieces of cork dc
not make a downy bed.
Mrs Gilman was much impressed Will
the cordial reception of the flotilla wher
sailing up to London, people cheering by
the thousands, bands playing, whistles
of every kind footing.
She wrote too. of the beautiful coun
try. the houses so different from ourt
with stacks of chimneys with no heaps
of rubbish anywhere"
II was expected that she would remain
in London, but a few days later sh
went on somewhere" whenever lool

Ii is a regret that more exact informa
ton cannot be given, but the censorship
prevents.

The Drum Call.

Hartk the drum is calling,
And its voice cntlrnlling
Sends a summons through the land,
To all Coumbia's sons;
Bidding them be ready,
Armorcd, stern and steady
For the tide Of battle high
Over Europe runs!
Hark' the drum Is calling.
With tone enthralling;
Calling 20 the wealthy East
And 20 the fertile West:
".Comcl the land that bred YOU,
Nurtured you and fed you,
Asks your deed in hour of need;
Give il of your besti :
Hark! the drum is calling
On our senses falling
Rudely as our place we keep
AZ countr press or plow;
larry not to cavil,
Monstrous is the evil.
Meet the Hydra Headed Thing
And smite and slay IL now!
Harkl the drum is calling;
Come the gray wolves crawling,
With their fierce and bloody jaws
Dripping from their lair;
But with God assistance
No danger and no distance
Shall check the stern avengingsarms
That seek Ia slay them thcre
