The boys aboard the Cassard gave
me hearty welcome, especially Mnr-

weeks in the trenches at Dixmude. /
was glad to see them, too, for after all,
they were garbies, and | always feel
more at home with them than with SOL
diers. Then, ii was pretty rough stuff
at Dixmude, and after resting up at
the hospital, | was keen on going to
sea again.
The Cassard was In dry dock for re-
pairs after her last voyage to the OAR
danclles as convoy to the troopship
Duplex. Everything was being rushed

crews were working day and night.
There were other ships there too-su-
nerdreadnaughts, and dreadnaughts,
and battleships, and armored cruisers,
all being overhauled
We received and placed guns OF
newer design, filed the magazines with
the highest explosives known to naval
use, and generally made ready for a
hard job. Our magazines were filed
with shells for our big II and 14-inch
guns. A 14-lnch shell can tear a hole
through the heaviest armor plate at
1000 yards, and will do more damage
than you would think.
When we had coaIed and had got
our stores aboard, we dressed for nc

We're clear; hatch covers bolted and
davits folded down; furniture, chests,
tables, chairs were sent ashore, and in

them. We heard the snap.
There were men In that ward who

the German. They did not need to
shoot him, after we got through with
him. They did shoot what was left of
him. to make sure, though.
Now, have heard people say that
II is not the Germans we are fighting,
but the kaiser and his system. Well,
1t may be true that some of the Boche
soldiers would not do these things IL
they did not have to: myself, l am not
so sure.
But you take this doctor. Here he
was, an educated man. who had been
trained all his life to help people who
were In pain, and not to cause 1t. And
he was not where he would have to
obey the kaiser or any other German.
And this nurse had saved his life.
SO do not see that there Is any
argument about 1t. He broke that
girls wrists because he wanted to;
that Is all there Is to 1t. Now, I say
this German doctor was a dirty cur
and scoundrel. But say that he is
a fair sample of most Of the Germans

Probably you have not been over there,

kaiser and his fiunkeys.
Well, nobody had better tell me that.
Because have been there. and have
seen this. And know.

Reports say that certain disGruntled persons are whispering around the streets that the mass meeting held Wednesday night for the purpose ot organizing the Nome Loyal Legion was more of a "political than a patriotic meeting Needless to say such statements are not only erron- cous but are utterly contemptible and intended to demean the intent and purpose of the Legion by making them. The whole trouble is that cer- tain parties who hoped and prepared most assiduously to share in the hon. ors of the meeting were left out in the cold It was case when the public was ill inclined to consider wind bag patriotic displays as either indicative of true Americanism or worthy of re- wards and honors. The attendants displayed excellent judgement by plac- ing men in charge of the affairs of the Legion whose patriotism has been proven by something else than fam bo, ant horn footing.

A. Adams, was placed in nomination for the office of permanent chairman of the Loyal Legion and he was selected without opposition. The popularity of the judge was well indicated in the voci- ferrous applause arising after both his nomination and election. Follow
 ing, Judge Adams delivered an elo- Qucnt patriotic address in which he urged upon his hearers to lend their fullest support to the nation.
