ROYAL WELCOME
IN ENGLAND FOR
j. S. BATTLESH|PS
Will Have Part in Great Sea
Fight if Germans Ven
ture Out.

LONDON, April 1O.-The announce-
ment by Secretary Daniels that
American bnttleshlps were Included
In the $50 American war vessels In
European waters makes II now pos
sble to say something about our bat
tleshlp units over here which In the
event OF a great naval battle would
be In lt
Because OF Secretary Danlels's de-
sire to maintain secrecy about one
OF tho most splendid events since our
participation In the war, 10 wit, the
arrival in European waters OF these
fine fghtlng craft and the consequent
magnificent reception, even now only
by word Of mouth has a part OF the
population in certain sections OF the
country known anything about the
historic welcome accorded these ves-
sells by Brltain's sea warriors.
Only through Mr.. DanIels's slight
reference has tho fact been published
In the British press that these units
are here, whereas our navy men In
European waters could have wished
nothing better than all effective an
nouncement, and the Secretary had
been so advised. for 1t would have
aroused the greatest enthusiasm.
The opinion has been expressed by
navy men that 1t Is bad policy to
smother in mystery one OF the out
standing features OF our participa-
ton, especially whom IL smatterlng OF
people over here knew quite well OF
the vessels arrival despite the re-
ligious zeal OF the British officers to
respect the desires OF tho American
Secretary OF tho Navy for secrecy.
The officers and crews of these ves-
sells have been on terms Of tho closest
and warmest ncquaintanceship with
the British officers and men.
One noted British Admiral, when
asked how the men got along. said
the only thing that had in any way
the cordial relations was
an outbreak OF mumps, and that II
was the quarantine which had caused
much good nRtured raillery.
Certain British cities long since
have become accustomed to seeing
American sailors. The American Y.
VI. c. A. Eagle Hut in London Is one
OF their chief meeting places when
off duty. A big sign in front OF Il
says: "There's no place like home,
but next to that, you'll find this hut
the best" These men seem TO find It
so.
One Of these husky American sail
ors on being asked how he Jared In his
stay at the hut said: you've given
me everything I wanted to eat. You've
given me a fine bed and bath. but
you forgot one thing-you didn't tuck
me in and kiss me good night"
When one motherly American wom-
an with sons in the army heard this
she said she would have kissed him
good night had she known about II.
The American sailors as well as the
soldiers have made n splendid name
for themselves by their good deport-
ment IN this country.

May Enlist In Navy.

The privilege of enlistine in the
Navy and being put on the waiting
list until called to active service is
the latest iDducement offered by
the Navy to men who are working
on farms or who are awaiting call
to service in the draft army because
they feel that they must spend all
the time possible at their present
work Draft boards must give all
registered men releases if they are
not in the current quota.
The Navy is now accepting and
enlisting men for various branches
of the service at the recruiting sta
tion for the Missouri District, Sey.
enth and Chestnut Streets, St Louis
and sending the men back home to
await d call to report for active
duty The intent of this order is to
give men working on farms an Op.
portunity to enlist in the volunteer
branch of the service and then re-
turn to their work on an indefinite
leave.
Any man enlisting at this time
who is put on the waiting list is ex.
empt from the draft, or to be more
exact is placed in class S as being
in the Naval service of ,he United
States.
Lieut. F. M. Wilson, Officer in
Charge, said that the order TO put
men on the waiting list was the
b est news the boys in the rural dis
triCts have had. 1T must not be
considered that the Navy has more
men now than can be used," he
sC.-. The situation demands all
the eniistments possible, and this
ruling has for its primary object
the enlistment of men who want to
volunteer but who feel that they
should do all the work for which
tn ere is need before they are called
The Navy offers these conscientious
workers the opportunity to get into
a choice branch of the service and
then 60 back home to finish their
work We expect the rural dis.
tricts to furnish a great nnmber
of men under this new ruling"

Business Records Aid
Farmers.

When a business concern wants
to borrow money it makes a busi-
n ess statement showing the inveu-
tory-or money invested at the
beginning and end of the year-the
N oney taken in during the year, the
expenses and the profits. With
this statement a banker knows
whether or not it is safe to
loan money to this company-in
other words. whether the company
h as a good chance of securing
p rofitable returns from a further
investment in their business. A
C ompany with a good business, as
shown by such a statement, usually
has good credit and can borrow
money cheaply.
There are many farmers in this
country who keep records of what
they have on hand at the beginning
and end of the year and of what
I hey take in and what they spend.
These men can borrow money more
easily and cheaply than most farm
ers because they have the figures
to show the banker
But before a farmer borrOws any
money he should have very clearly
i N mind what he wants to use it for
and be very sure that in the end il
will pay him to borrow.
