War has made necessary additions
to the dress of the sailor. Duty in the

coast patrol has called for additional
and heavier protection. All of this
has been supplied to every man in ac-

garments were ready and had been Is
sued to the men before they were
needed. Recently on very cold day
every station. training camp and every
ship was asked II their men were
clothed to meet the severe weather,
and the answer brought back the
cheering word that all were supplied.
All of the men of the navy Operat-
ing during the war under conditions
where there will be more than Ordi-
nary exposure have been supplied
with specially designed winter clothing
in addition to that which every man
is required to have. The additional

heavy woolen undershirts. two extra
heavy woolen underdrawers. two pairs
Of heavy wOolen socks, one blanket
Overshirt with hood. one pair woolen
mittens, one pair of heavy arctics, one

; These outfits have been supplied to
the entire deck forces Of battleships

vessels of train and to transports and
to the entire crews of destrOyers, mine
