THE U. S. IAcKIE's LIFE.
Two Days at Sea and Two Days in Port
Is the Order.

On Board q. S. Destroyer, American
Port in France, Nov. s Correspondence
Of the Associated Press Two days at
sea, two days in port; this is the sailors
life, week in and week out, day and
night, in theIconvoy service of American
destroyers which has achieved such mar
Vicious results an army OF 100000 men
landed in Europe with the loss of few
hundreds,
The destroyer feet was just back from
the latest cruise as we went aboard to-
day. They had brought in six big trans
ports, including three former German lin
ers. Already the soldiers were marching
TO camp, and on board the destroycrs
things were being made shipshape for the
brief stay in port and then for the next
adventure out beyond the capes, for with
submarines off the port there is ceaseless
vigilance, with always the chance of
something happening, and everyone on
the tip-toe of expectation.
The reports brought back Of the last
cruise were of the best. 1t had been COM
paratively quiet and the transports had
been brought through without sign Of a
submarine. In fact it was so promising
the previous Sunday that the commander
of the fleet remarked they were going to
have quiet day,
But at 8 in the morning there was an
alarm, with all the gun and torpedo
crews springing to their posts, and after
that four successive alarms through this
quiet day, though none of the alarms de-
veloped into an actual attack, 1t showed
however, the steady tension even when
conditions looked best, for it was known
that hostile craft had been lurking of
the beach rocks near the mouth Of the
harbor and one of our big repair ships
had been attacked as it came in few
weeks ago.
On the big destroyers the crew is al.
ways on watch during a convoy. There
are lookouts in the big crows nest high
up on the foremost, far forward at the
tip of the bow, at port and starboard
forward and aft. Besides these there is
the gun crew watch, and the torpedo
watch always on the qui viye for the
sound Of the bell which calls them into
action.

Two men were checked as slaekers by
the Washington county local board Fri
day afternoon when 40 examinations
were conducted but later the correction
was made for it was found that the two
men had been sitting in the hallway all
of the time, but apparently were too
bashful to appear for medical examina-
ton They were sitting outside the
marshal's room in the federal building
and saw the rest Of the men going into
another room for examinations. When
it was almost time to leave by train for
Waterbury, one of the men got courage
enough to approach a member Of the To-
cal board, asking when the examinations
were to commence. He was advised they
were nearly over, but that the physician
had not left, and checking up showed
these were the two men missing origi-
nally and that they had been in the
building all the time. They had seen
the other registrants going into the ex-
aiming room but had paid no attention
to it and came near being listed as
slackers.
