During the recent strike of mechan-
ics in the airplane engine factories at
Coventry, England, fleet of army air.
planes flew from their aerodrome in the
west of England and circled over the
town. scattering through the streets
thousands of leaflets appealing to the
strikers TO return to work. Later in
the day chaplain attached to the.
naval air service in France flew from
the front of Coventry in seaplane, ar
irving with an appeal from the men of
his air squadron to the strikers to go
back. The strike was settled the fol-

colors and AlrpIanes.

A curious phenomenon noted by
ayiators is that the color Of a land
ing field may have an effect on an
airplane that is about to alisht on it.
For example, an area which Is dark
from being plowed or burned over will
make the air above 1t several degrees
warmer than that over land of lighter
color, such as stubble field. thus
causing disturbed condition of the
atmosphere, which may make landing
difficult If not dangerous.

them grouped like this everyday OF the

CHANGE OF VIEWS"
Declares Adversares of Central Pc ~
ers Need Only Provide Oppor-
tunity to Open Way.

Amsterdam, Sept. l1.-An exchange
of views between the central powers
and the entente was tentatively suG-
geSted by Baron Burian, the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister, in an ad-
dress to visiting German newspaper
men. according to Vienna dispatch.
Such a discussion, said the foreign
minister, need not take the form of
peace negotiations, but would have as
its purpose the consideration of all
things which are keeping the belliger-
ent powers apart.
Baron Burian advanced his Sugges-
tion In declaring that the adversarieS
of the central powers need only pro-
vide the opportunity lin a calm eX-
change of views-some sort of direct,
informative discussion is thinkable
which would be far from being peace
negOtiatiOns-Of discussing and weigh
ing everything which today separates
the belligerent parties, and no further
fighting will perhaps be needed to
bring them closer together"

the same rationS and equipment as thu
regular French army before it went TO
the front. Their food consisted of
bread, soup, and vino, as wine is called
almost everywhere in the world. In
the morning they received half loaf
Of Vienna bread and coffee. At noon
they each had a large dixie of thick
soup, and at three in the afternoon
more bread and a bottle of vino. The
soup was more like a stew-very
thick with meat and vegetables. At
one of the officers barracks there was
a cook who had been chef In the larg.
est hotel in Paris before the war.
All the prisoners were well clothed.
Once a week, socks, underwear, soap,
them, and every week the barracks
and equipment were fumigated. They
we're given the best of medical atten-
ton.
Besides all this, they were allowed
to work at their trades, if they had
any. All the carpenters, cobblers,
tailors and painters were kept busy.
and some of them picked up more
change there than they ever did in
Germany, they told me. The musi.
clans formed bands and played almost
every night at restaurants and thea
tiers in the town. Those who had no
trade were allowed to work on the
roads, parks, docks and at residences
about the town.

CHAPTER ~.
The War Breaks.

After serving four years and three
months in the U. S. navy, / received
an honorable discharge on April IA,
1914. i held the rank of chief petty
officer, first-class gunner. 1t Is not
uncommon for garbies to lie around a
while between enllstments-they like
q vacation as much as anyone-and 1t
months before Joining the nav. ngain.
After the war started, of course,
had heard more or less about the Ger
man atrocities In Belgium. and while
l was greatly interested, i was doubt
full at first as TO the truth of the re-
ports, for i knew how news gets
changed In passing from mouth to
mouth, and l never was much of q
hand to believe things until l saw
them, anyway. Another thing that
caused me TO be interested in the war
was the fact that my mother was born
in Alsace. Her maiden name, DER
vieux, is well known in Alsace. l had
often visited my grandmother In st.
NaZaire, France, and knew the coun.
try. So with France Mt war, 1t was
not strange that l should be even
more interested than many other
garbies.
As / have said, I did not take much
stock In the first reports of the Huns
exhibition of kultur, because Fritz is
known as a clean sailor. and figured
that no real sailor world ever get

came down from the bridge and shook
hands with met
After this they did not haze me
much. This was the beginning Of q
certain reputation that / had in the
navy for fist-work. Later on | had a
reputation for swimming, too. That
first day they began calling me
"Chlnk," though l don't know why,
and 1t has been my nickname in the
navy ever since.
It IS a curious thing, and / never
could understand It, but garbles and
marines never mix. The marines are
good men and great fighters, aboard
and ashore, but we garbles never have
a word for them, nor they for us. On
shCre leave abroad We pal up with
foreign garbies, even. but hardly ever
with marine. or course they are
with us strong in case we have scrap
with n liberty party of some foreign
ship-they cannot keep out Of fight
any more than we can-but after 1t
is over they are on their way at once
and we on ours.
There are lots Of things like that
In the navy that you cannot figure out
the reason for, and l think it is be-
cause sailors change their ways so
little. They do a great many things
in the navy because the navy always
has done them.
I kept strictly on the Job as a fire.
man, but / wanted to get into the gun
turrets. II was slow work for long
time. i had TO serve as secOnd-class
fireman for four mouths, first-class
for eight months and In the engine
room as water-tender for a year.
Then. after serving on the q. 8. g.
Des Moines as a gun-loader, I was
transferred to the Iowa and finally
worked up to gun-polnter. After a
time l got my c. p. o. rating-chlef
petty officer. first-class gunner.
The various navles differ in many
ways, but most Of the differences
would not be noticed by any one but
a sailor. Every sailor has a great deal
of respect for the Swedes and Nor
wegians and Danes; they are born
sailors and are very daring, but, OF
course, their navieS are small. The
Germans were always known as clean

sailors; that is, as in our navy and
the British, their vessels were ship
shape all the time, and were run as
sweet as a clock.
There is no use comparing the vari-
Gus navies as to which is best; some
are better at one thing and some at
another. The British navy. Of course,
is the largest, and nobody will deny
that at most things they are topnotch
least of all themselves; they admit
1t. But there is one place where the
navy OF the United States has IL all
over every other navy on the seven
seas. and that is gunnery. The Amer
lean navy has the best gunners In
the world. And do not let anybody
tell you different.

Moon by "EarthIieht."

When the crescent Of the new moon
appears in the west the phenomenon
called "the old moon in the young
ones arms" is often observed. Part
ly embraced by the horns Of the cres-
cent Is seen the whole round orb Of
the moon. The cause of this appear
ance is that the "earthlight" upon that
part Of the moon not reached by the
sunshine is sufficiently brilliant to rem
der it family visible to our eyes.
