A mixed crowd Of French and Amer
leans had assembled. Comic recita-
tions, impromptu songs and parodies
on popular airs were sung in the
crowded "Y" hut Then came the
parody on There's a Long, Long Trail

of religion heard yet the hut fairly
reverberating with a sub-conscious re-

AMERICAN BOYS GO
BACK TO DEEP SEA

Only those in the water transpor-
tation business know to what a hope
less level the American merchant ma
rine had sunk prior to the war. The
ancient glory of the fleet that carried
the Stars and Stripes into every port
of the world had faded out and no one
seemed to care. America had turned
its back upon the sea. The country's
interest was conferred upon internal
development. Gradually the convic-
ton grew up that American enter
prise ended at the tidewater, that it
wasn't worth while to try and recon-
quer a share Of the marine carrying
trade. This attitude of Indifferent
resignation rejected itself in the mar
thine legislation passed by successive
Congresses.
So little interest did America take
in its merchant marine that less than
twenty percent of the crews of Amer
lean salt water vessels consisted of
nnative sons. Even on the bridge and
in the engine room the bulk of the
personnel was of foreign birth.
Now the miricle is happening. A
merican ships by the score are leav-
ing American ways every month.
Right now the United States has a
large tonnage in the foreign trade as
Germany had in the heydey of the
peaceful prosperity it sacrificed up
on the altar of Moloch. By the end of
the year the United States will be
the second maritime nation of the
world, and by the end of 1919 Eng
land will have to look to her marine
laurels.
These new ships must have crews
A year ago nautical schools were OPP
ened and from them sufficient num-
bers of deck officers and engineers to
supply the demand. But it is only
recently that the Shipping Board or
ganized the Sea Service Bureau to
recruit sailors. Fortunately the re-
spouse to the appeal to go to sea has
been most gratifying. In the Pacific
Northwest, for instance, the average
number of applicants at the Bureau
has been sixty day. But the most
encouraging sign was the character of
the applicants. Most of them were
native American boys, a large num-
Der of them raised on farms as far
east as Nebraska. Like the New Eng
land boys that manned the clipper
ships and the whalers, they have been
caught by the glamor of the sea and
have chosen the new mercantile ma
rine for their life work.--From the
July Sunset.
