[AssociateG Press Dispatch.1


Great Lakes, ILL.,, February 23.-Roy
]. Mason, a chief yJoman in the navy
justice of the peaca at Waukegan,
ILL.,, in civilian life, and o-sharer of
jackies' troubles with Paymaster
Jacob D. Daddy Doyle, is becoming
known as the marrying yeoman" of
Great Lakes.
Still retaining his appointment as
justice of the peace, Chief Yeoman
Mason since entering the national
service on June 1 last, has married an
even two hundred iackies at Great
Lakes. Previous to enlisting Judge"
Mason had tied the nuptial knot of
more than 1000 couples.
Soon after Mason enlisted, friend

closed that the chief yeoman still re-
tanned legal authority to perform
marriage ceremonies and he an
nounced he would marry free any
sailor or enlisted man desiring to

is the officer to whom the jackies go
with their troubles and it is largely
through his efforts that their troubles

Several hundred men are training for
flyers here so there is plenty of work
for the motor repair men, etc. 1t is
an interesting sight watching the
men fly. A number of men are
skilled aviators now and l have seen
some fancy flying, looping the loop
etc. There are several French Off
GERS acting as instructors and they
certainly know the art of flying to
perfection. This afternoon l watched
two machines fall, wrecking the ma
chimes completely although the men
came out of it alright except for min
| or injuries. Several men have lost
their lives since l have been here
/ but that is to be expected with SO
, many men flying.

hour guard mount, and l can assure
you that it isn't snap We work

off, but it seems just the opposite. |
started out alright carrying a loaded

We have an excellent place to stay
here, and the buildings in this camp
are above the average 1 believe. We
sleep in wooden barracks instead OF
tents, and they are finished off like
modern home, electric lights,
screened porches, etc., reminds one
OF cottage at summer resort. The
climate is better than / expected, al
though 1t gets pretty hot during the
day. You were here, if | remember
right, so you know what the climate
is like.
You will probably be interest
ed to know that the Little Giant
Trip hammer is used in the
shops here. I happened to be going
through the blacksmith shop looking
around and heard the trip hammer
which | found to be one of the fifty
pound motor driven little Giants. If
they only had couple of Model "B''
tractors it would be a well equipped
camp.
From what I heard some of the
ssquadrons from this camp are to
leave soon for New York so we NAV
see an early trip to France, although
the date for leaving is not definite
yet.
IL you will remember me kindly to
the men in the shop, also the office

TO hear from you if you find time to
