AME R|CAN SAILORS
ARE NOT BOOzERs

An Irish Port SCorrespoudence OF
the Associated Press 3-Considering the
large number and the quaint. attrac-
tive type OF many of the bar-rooms in
the small town at the American De-
stroyer base there is eamparaIlyeiy
little drinking of intoxicants among the
men of the feet. 1t is unusual to see
an American sailor who has imblbed
too freely and that saloons are not
crowded during the hours when the
largest number of men are allowed
ashore.
There is more socfability in drinking
in a saloon in a small Irish town than
in the larger centers of population in
the British Isles or in American Dars.
Often an antique looking place in an
ancient stone or cement house is oper-
ated by one man with the assistance
of his wife or daughter or both III
serving drinks. Even on the first visit
to such a place a person, particularly
an American, is treated more as a
guest than as a customer.
The men prefer to go to the Mems
Club" which was erected with funds
provided by Americans in England
and managed by the naval officers. or
the Y NJ. C. a. hut. The Y. NJ. G.. \.
establishment cannot care for many at
a time but it is being enlarged. The
reading rooms at both places arc full
every night while the pool-room at the
club draws a great many. AT the club
besides the theater which attracts
many every night, is also soda fourl-
tain with real American ice cream
and ice cream soda both of which are
unobtainable in England or Ireland I'M
less provided through American enter
prise. The restaurant with its plain.
wh olesome well-cooked food also is a
great attraction.

j. 6. SAILORS
FURNISH OWN
ENTERhT IHMENT

An Irish Port-( correspondence OF
The Associated Press1-The thousands
Of American sailors stationed at the
destroyer base in British waters have
been forced TO provide their own en-
tertainment to while away liberty
hours in the small town.
One of the chief features of the
Mems Club is the theater which will
seat about 1000 persons and where
there is something going on free every
night. Aside from the moving picture
plays all the entertainment is produced
by the sailors. Some of the scenery
for the stage was obtained in London
but some of it was produced right here
at the base
The talent uncovered has resulted in
brass band of % pieces. an orchestra
as large, an acrobat. several vocal
soloists. yodler, half a dozen black
face comedians, a quartet, several
piano players and enough good voices
to stage a minstrel show.
Here is an everage Sunday night
program: 4 one-reel comedy, seven
concert selections by the band, a four
reel feature film, half a dozen songs
by the quartet, the yodler and popular
songs by "all hands with the words
thrown onto the picture screen.
The last feature is what the sailors
like the best as they all seem to want
to get IN the show. They put real en-
thusiam into songs about winning the
war and getting the German flee,,
but when they sing something about
home, the sunny south or a girl left
behind they fairly raise the roof and
sing the ehoruses over and over.
They never tire of one feature al
though they have participated in it
| scores of times. With the house dark
/! for an instant. curtain showing the
| New York skyline is dropped. AS the
! first faint light dimly outlines the pic
j turev the orchestra starts to play New
| York Town. and everyone begins to
sing. Before the song is ended many
| of the men break into cheers and throw
! their white hats into the air
| II amt from New York said trim
! specimen of middle-western youns
manhood one night "but that skyline
was the last thing / saw in the COCA
| old u. S. A. and that picture with the
| orchestra playing that song Just natur-
ally makes a fellow wc:1t to sing"
! But even with such expressions oil
/ sentiment there is little homesickness
/ here. The sailors, many of them mere
| youngsters, are glad they are in thick
| of the war but many of them have said
that the more they see of foreign
! shores the better they like home.

LIGHT AND DARK
BOMBING PERIODS

Behind British Lines DIN France
Correspondence of The Associated
! Press 1-The working month of Night
Bombing Squadron in France is divided
into two periods which are known as
the Light and the Dark.
The Light period covers the moonlt
half of the month. Should it be at
tended by fine weather, great aerial ac-
tivity prevails Practically any raid
! out equally well at night during this
period. for although certain details are
not clearly visible. the essential fea-
lures of the ground stand out clearly
and can easily be followed.
The ease With which targets can be
found depends very largely on their
geographical position Water is the
great guilds for night flying. and on d
clear moonlight night it can be seen
from distance. Hence targets stu
ated near river. canal or lake present
no difficulty whatever as regards their
being found.
Railways. too, if they are IN use.
prove excellent guides. for the rails
shine clearly in the moonlight and can
easily be followed. Woods. especially
if they are of peculiar shape, make
good landmarks, for the black mass,
which shows up we'll in the moon
light can be quickly identified on the
map.
During the Light Period most of the
long raids of the squadron are flying
in then done chiefly by the aid of
compass, but on clear starlit nights
raids on targets such as factories with
chimneys or blast furnaces whose glow
lights up the sky for miles, may be
carried out satisfactorily. On still
night compass course can be flown
quite accurately, but unfortunately
there are comparatively few nights on
which the wind remains constant 1t
either changes in velocity or direction,
and in the air is is difficult to dis
/ tiEguish these changes. A machine Is
! very likely to he blown out OF It's
.course sevral miles without the pilots
i knowledge Therefore only short raids
are undertaken, and this the risk OF
| pilots completely losing their bearings
| is minimiZed Often two or three shart
raids are carried out in one night.

THE PATRIOTIC LEAGUE AND
WHAT 1T STANDS FOR,

With the approach of winter the
activities Of the Patriotic League are
daily increasing, and under the di-
rection OF Mrs Elizabeth Adams, ex-
assuming definite form.
In speaking OF the Patriotic League
and what It stands for, Miss Adams
said yesterday:
"A British general was in New York
the other day and when he heard
about the Patriotic League, he said, I
wish every girl in thes United States
would join in memory Of Jenny Lam
ming
Jenny Lanning was a little shop
girl IN London. very young, very an
xlous TO do her bit, but not quite see
ing what she could do. One day she
called all the women In the shop To-
gether and said: Girls. let's adopt the
families OF one OF the companies at
the 'front.' Think what it meant TO
those men to hear that the girls were
going to look after their children and
cheer UP their wives. They wanted
to show their appreciation. so they
took a shell that had been 1ired at
them and made ring and sent II
to Jenny, but she never knew about
the ring, because the day before it
reached London she was killed by a
bomb from a eppelin, while she was
befriending some of these children.
She gave her life for her country and
was an inspiration to thousands OF
others.
And there Is another reason for
the girls to give themselves to patri-
otto work: Experience in war brings
out the very best in the average man.
The officers learn to trust the men
and the men learn to trust their offlc-
ars. In the night raids they witness
the courage OF others, in a shortage
Of rations they see manifestations of
unselflshness-they get to know real
men and to value them.
II these men bring these new stand
