authorities at the port of calling.
AS soon as word is received by cable
of the ships arrival on the other
side, the telegram and cards are re-
leased to the wires and mails Not
only is much time saved by this
plan, but the soldiers are spared the
high cost of cabling from Europe.
With the exception of the ships
executives and the officers in mill
tary command, no one aboard knows
the hour fixed for sailing, and this
becomes a favorite topic for specu-
lation among the men. But finally
the last soldier has come up the
gangplank and the last piece of
freight has been slowed away. A
busy little tug appears alongside
and begins to nose the vessel like a
TERROR investigating a greyhound.
Suddenly there is a blast from
the ships whistle, and then are en-
acted a few details of the familiar
scenes which before the war was
witnessed whenever a transatlantic
left it's pier. The comparison, how
ever, is extremely limited. The call
of "All ashore that are going ashore"
affects only a few stevedores and
perhaps an official or two, who
move leisurely off.
What excitement there is is con-
fined to those on the ship. There
is none on the pier for the reason
that it is now empty and its great
doors are closed. Only blank
wall looms there.
On deck the movement, instead
of being toward the transport S
rails, is away from them. Orders
have been given for the troops to
go to their quarters, so that when
the ship is leaving harbor no uni
form may be visible to any prying
eyes on shore.
Slowly the big vessel is coaxed
by the tug into the stream, and
majestically she gets under way
A few civilian passengers, to the
envy of officers and men, hang over
the rails and watch the city's sky
line fade away.
Soon the port is only blur in
a veil of mist. 1t is safe now fol-
the troops to appear. They rush
out on deck, boyishly eager for the
sight-strange to many of the
open sea. A glance is cast toward
the vague line on the horizon thai
is home. Then they turn and peel
! forward into the mystery of the I'M
known, toward the scene of the
great adventure-over there.

running on the hours of the belt
adjacent to them.
A dual system of time has been
found in several places in the United
States, where railroad time" and
''town time" have both been Gus
tomarily recognized. .... H.. H.. 49,
The latter being one hour faster
than the former. Some points have
continued the system, even under
the general time advance last spring,
while others have adopted a single
standard. Rulings will perhaps af-
feet these.
The law is not compulsory, ex-
cept for persons doing business with
the government and railroads, but
the examiners are finding that COM
pliance with it is almost universal.
Specifically, the law defines the hour
zones across the United States as
centering respectively upon the 18th,
Goth, 105th, and 120th meridians
west of Greenwich, with borders
equidistant between the meridians.
The commission exercised its power
to set aside these standards, ard
adopted the existing railroad zones,
which are only roughly sim Al to
the Logan ones, in order not to con-
fuse and disturb the course of life.
In the main, it is expected that
the examiners will report the rail
road zones suitable, though changes
in them will be made where worka-
bility of the law and ease of appli-
cation can be secured.

LONDON.- greater care ana
secrecy could attend the shipment
of royal jewels than is observed in
shipping American troops to France.
To safeguard his boys, Uncle Sam
takes every possible precaution,
from the time they embark until
the transport has reached its destina-
ton. He leaves no loophole for the
Vaccinations of enemy agents.
Usually, as result of this elabo-
rate protective system, the trip from
"An Atlantic Port" to the French
or English port, as the case may
be, is remarkably uneventful. All
elements of danger have been so
carefully anticipated that the risk
is reduced to the lowest minimum.
Until the troops and civilian pass
engers have reached the pier they
do not know the name of their ship.
1t is only a number to them. On
the regular troopships it is difficult
for a civilian, unless he is engaged
in war work, to secure a passage.
Those who manage to do so are sub
jected to close scrutiny, and their
credentials and luggage are thor
oughly examined.
Embarkation often begins several
days before the transport sails. All
good-byes have been said before the
troops start for the ship. No rela-
tive or friend may accompany them
to the pier. This rule applies to
the officers as we'll as to the men.
Once aboard, there they remain,
no shore communication being per-
mitted. This regulation imposes 10
hardship other than inactivity. I'm
til all troops have been assigned to
quarters and organization has been
effected, the men are left pretty
much to their own devices.
No restriction is placed on writ
ing, and bags are kept open for sol
diers' mail up to almost the hour
of sailing. This privilege gives
many a chance to get off neglected
letters and postcards, although thes e
as matter of precaution, are not
put into the mails until the ship
has passed through the submarine
zone.

That Americas economic help to
Europe is beginning to count, is
shown by the fact that coal has be-

On Saturday and Sunday, January
&c and q, the Salvation army will
commence their annual revival which
is commonly termed the "Siege for
the Lost H.
This important series of meetings
will be properly inaugerated by Col.
Stephen Marshall of Minneapolis,
whose position in the Salvation army
is on par with that of the Bishop
Of the Methodist church.
The colonel is a very well-known
character in this part of the middle
west and has an enviable reputation
as a speaker. His platform work is
very %appreciable as he is not only
earnest and forceful but humorous to
a large degree. He has visited Bis.
marck on former occasions when
large audiences have heard him and
he will be none the less interesting
on this occasion. He brings with him
his daughter, who IS a very accept
able vocalist.
The meetings will be as follows:
Saturday s p. m. Free and Easy"
Sunday II a. m. "Holiness."
Sunday 8 p. m. "Salvation."
The Sunday night meeting will be
particularly interesting from the fact
hat a number of people are to be
accepted as members of the local
Corps. They will be formally enroll
cd under the flag and accepted by
''e colonel as "Blood-and-Fire" SOL
diera. Everyone is cordially invited
to come, look and listen. A good time
