Attains Highest Grade in Navy
Open to One of Her
Sex.
HAS DONE Efficient WORK
Had an Important Part in Building Up
Armed Guards Organization
Now Keeps Records Of
This Service.

WaShingtOn.-The encounters OF
American merchant vessels with Ger
man submarines constitute one Of the
most thrilling chapters of the war.
When the president ordered our mer-
chantmen armed for protection against
undersea attack the navy was called
upon to furnish hundreds of guns and
thousands of trained gunners to man
them. To perform this task a new
branch of the service was organized
the ARMED guards" Even before this
country declared war they were on ac-
tive duty. and the first man Of the
navy to lose his life in service against
the enemy was a member of the armed
guards, John l. Eopolucci, lost In the
sinking Of the Aztec April 1. 1917.
One Of the most efficient aids of
Commander Farley in building up the
armed guards organization was a
young woman, Miss Helen e. Brooks,
now confidential secretary to Lieuten-
ant Commander Hall. who succeeded
Commander Farley.
Shares In Big Events.
Miss Brooks has had share in
many of the most interesting incidents
of the war. 1t was to her desk that
the news came of the sinking of the
Aztec and the Vacuum. She received
the account of the sinking of the first
German submarine by the Silver
Shell; of the long battle of the Moreni,
which fought an enemy U-boat until
almost the entire ship was in flames;
of the four-hor fight of the j. l..
Luckenbach which, though hit many
times, refused to surrender. She made
out the lists of the first men taken
prisoner by Germany members of the
armed guard of the Inflated Campana.
She has transcribed many letters of
commentator of men for heroic
deeds, and many messages transmit
ting to relatives the sad news that a
son, husband or brother has been
killed or wounded.
The names, ratings and addresses of
next Of kin of all the members of the
armed guards are kept on cards, in a
separate envelope for each vessel.
The records Of all those who lose
their lives in the service of their coun-
try are kept in a special division.
These constitute the navy's roll of
honor" Those who have been COM

Chicago.-"We do not know that we
are at war. Five Thousand miles away
our troops are moving into battle. In
a million American homes, the casualty
lists are watched with anxious eyes.
Tears and anguish and heartbreaks are
the price we must pay to write head
line 9f Victory" declared Oswald F.
Schuette, for three Years war cores
pondent Of the Chicago News with the
armies of the Central powers, in an ad-
dress before the Press club Of Chicago.
"A year ago we unfurled the battle
flags Of the republic We pledged our
selves to the greatest sacrifice this
greatest Of world wars might demand.
The American people are ready to
make that sacrifice. But so far we do
not know over here what war really
Is. / have come out Of three years in
that inferno. All Europe is aflame.
1t knows 1t is in the war. Even neu-
trail countries such as Switzerland feel
1t hundredfold more than we. There
economy and conservation is no longer
a master Of preachment, of voluntary
sacrifice. 1t Is matter Of enforced
necessity, Of grim compulsion. They
are not saving food to feed someone
else. They are saving because they
have too little themselves. And in the
warning countries, there Is war In every
breath. War Is tragic reality for
them. They do not need flags in the
streets to remind them Of the war
and you see few flags over there. War
portions out their meager rations. War
Is their cook. War allots the comforts
Of their daily life. and the proportions
are small. Luxuries are gone. War
stalks through their streets with the
soldiers in uniform. Wars shadow is
behind the mothers who pray In the
churches that their boys may be saved.

One Egg In Three Weeks.
Shortly after the break of diplo-
matte relations year. ago, when I
was still in Berlin for the Daily News,
an American colleague. the Berlin rep
resentative of the Associated Press,
contracted pneumonia. 1t was criti-
cal case. The physicians said they,
could cure the pneumonia. But they
said the patient would never recover

would not permit that Patients such
as he, they say, invariably died. That
was the penalty Of war. For 1t takes
eggs and butter and milk and other
unknown luxuries to bring man back
from the grave. At that time, the Ber-
lin egg ration was about one every
three weeks. Every three weeks, py
the calendar, a coupon on the egg caro-
would be validated to entitle the hold
err to purchase one egg from the grocer
with whom his name had been regis
tered. Often the groceries did not have
eggs enough to fill even this scanty or
der. But we sent out an appeal to
every available American to help. We
modified every egg In the American
colony In Berlin. We gathered all the
butter we could find. We asked no
questions when there seemed some
doubt as to the strictness with which
the zone egg every three weeks" regu-
latfon had been obeyed. But this pa
tient had three delicious omelettes a
day for three weeks. No one else in
all the Central powers, not the kaiser
nor Hindenburg, had reveled In any
such luxury of eggs in three years OF
war. But it saved his life. 1t was
the mobilization of the eggs, not the
physicians, that did It,"

We Do Not Know
What War Means

economy. We think we are saving,
yet / have seen more food wasted in
the two weeks since I landed In New
York than in the three years of my
war experiences.
Il do not say this as complaint.
| say 1T as a warning. We must learn
quickly the great lessons of this war.
For every day we wait now will cost
us two later on. If we wait long
enough, they will cost us weeks. To
win this war, we must awaken to a
full realization of all it means and all
1t demands. We must be in 1t, not one
million strong, but one hundred mil
lions strong. We must make economy
not a fad or principle, but a sacri-
fee.

term of the war. At first they were
commonly termed 'yeowomen" and

are frowned upon by naval officials.

pressed by Rear Admiral MCGOWAN,
paymaster general of the navy: They
must not be called 'yeowomen' or
'yeomanettes.' These women are as
much part of the navy as the men
who have enlisted. They dc the same
work and receive the same pay as men
Of the same rating. They are yeomen,
and have done yeoman service in the
immensely increased work imposed
upon the navy by the war"
