LauReAaS in 1898

In their per3fsxity the Bermuda
legislators cast their eye upon the

horsepower Is 1000. and her speed
about nineteen knots. The cruisers
main battery consisted OF two 6-inch
and eight 4.7-inch guns and three tor

The conversion OF this vessel TO the
merchant service Is anether indica-
tion Of the shortage of tennage, and
aside from its novelty. y recalls the
discussion in Congress several years
ago OF the possibility OF uing certain
old American cruisers as cargo-car-

SOCIAL WORKERS
CLEAR SAMMIES Of
FALSE CHARGES

PARIS, Feb. I.-For several weeks
this city has been headquarters for q
score or more Of religions workers,
social service Investigators. and spe-
cial correspondents. who have come
to France to investigate. conditions
under which American soldiers are
training. When their reports shall
have been made they will agree'fully
on At least one polnt-that Pershing's
men are hale and hearty and that the
prevalence OF drunkenness and vice is
mythical
The allies have noted the serious
ness with which the Americans have
entefed into Intensive training. They
have learned that the Americans re-
alize they are here to engage in the
most important business OF their lives.
The psychology of the American SOL
der does not permit him to overin-
dulge IN anything abnormal That is
the dominating spirit from major
Eensral to private. ~
Ministers Eyes Opened.
ministers Of the gospel have been
surprised, bet pleasantly so, to find
conditions different from what were
at one time reported One pastor,
sent here to write articles for re
Iigious publications completed his in
quiry into conditions aud issued this
statement - rs.
II am thoroughly CONVINCED that the
person or persons who said our sol
diers were spending their time in the
wine shops OF Paris was telling a lie"
The presence Of these fine, up
standing AmericanS,1 Is having a won
derful moral Influence in France.
Their reconstruction work IN devas-
tated regions. their construction for
their own accommodation, and the
absolutely unselhsh spirit of their
every move Is making better men Of
them andis having its influence on
the whole French people.
Hailed as Heroes.
Already these Americans are being
hailed heroes by the French just as
much ASH they had been over No
Mans Land with sacks full OF hand
Ersnades,
The allies have up to this time
sought to- have at least six men be-
hid the lines for every man In the
fr8ht line. The United States has
mapped out program that will mean
having not less than eighteen men
behind the lines TO each man at the
front. fr
1t is the opinion Of military men In
Paris that in reality the United. States
for every man who is at the front I
ready to go over the top has twenty |
men. The vastness OF such an under
taking is obvious.
Under the general supervision of |
General Pershing everything is being |
done thoroughly, everybody Is ''run- |
ming on high" and it means as much J
to France as It does tc the American |
soldier engaged in this great pro-
gram Of restoration.

with the consent of the admiralty, de-
termined to make use OF the cruiser
as q cargo and passenger carrier.
With luck, the Charybdis should be
able to avert what almost seemed 10
be the prospect OF financial disaster
for Bermuda. The colonys tourist
trade was completely wiped out early
in the war, its treasury surplus was
turned into deficit, ard all that re-
NAMED to the people was c bunkerlng
trade and the products Of their farms
A few months ago the steamship Ber-
uaudisn. upon which the colony relied
to carry its crops. was rsdulsitionsd
for war purposes, and, despite many
protests, the British government. re-
fused to return the vessel Thereupon,
the Bermuda Parliament sent com
mission to Washington to invoke the
aid OF the United States Shipping
Board. the board was sympathetic,
but could not promise a shIp-at

Is now with General PershInG's forces

said, In part:

Is pretty good. Passengers have &C.
cssionally been able to get little to
drink aboard, but the captain tonight
oruered otherwise, and it wifi be a
dry voyage from this minute on.
Yesterday morning we had target
practice. They fired about twenty
shots all told. The target was about
1000 yards of. Three barrels anu a
redsflag and fagstick were bound up
and used as a target, making the
whole resemble a submarine peri
scope. 1t was at f1rst rather hard to
see, and II, took some Of the gun
pointers quite a while to catch on.
The crew is pretty good, however, and
viii make IL hot for any sub we may
Eappen to see. -,
The ship has been rocking quite e
bit for the last twenty-four hours and
1 number Of the boys are sick.
That the captain is seasick and hns
gone to bed. that the lookout has gone
blind, the port gun won't shoot and
the whole boat Is leaking from stem

hard luck rumors that go the
rounds among the passengers. The
