ASHLAND TIDINGs

The most striking thing about the ca
nal was it's gigantic size, and the
more one thinks about it the more
amazing it seems. | think l was q
little disappointed at first, for had
heard so much about it and our ship
being so large, but the more stop to
consider, the more l wonder. It's size
and the simplicity of the thing struck
me most forcibly. There were not as
many locks as had expected. There
is a submarine net at each end and
soldiers all along the canal. At
Pedro Miguel they showered us with
magazines, cigarettes, matches, etc.
The majority of other people that we
saw were negroes, and as twas Sun
day they were all logged out in their
Sunday best. We stayed in Colon till
$3.50 a. m. Monday morning, but We
were not allowed shore leave. 1t Is
an interesting looking country, and
| should like to come down and look
it over when could come right
The Atlantic has Deen a little
rough ad about half the fellows are
sick. l have had no trouble so far,
but. There are lots more flying
fish in this pond than in the Pacific,
at least we have seen more, and We
have passed islands galore and quite
few boats. 1t is still quite hot, al
though not as hot as it has been.
was on X. P Monday night. The
night crew peels spuds and gets
things ready for the next day. There
ore eight or ten forty-gallon kettles
that are steam heated, and row of
stoves heated by oil fire. They have
a bakery, cold storage room and huge
pantry, two electric spud peelers, two
bread slicers, two huge dish-washing
tanks, and ladies that you have to
use both hands to lift. We prepared
twelve sacks of spuds for the next
day and fourteen. cases of eggs and
100 packages of rolled oats for the
next breakfast. They have four
eighty-gallon coffee urns.

jumps out Of the water, sometimes
going six to ten feet before it falls.
They travel in schools, and it is sure
a strange sight to see them. We have
passed close to several schools of
these. The flying fish are similar to
trout and Jump out of the water and
sail along close to the surface foc
several hundred yards sometimes.
They do not slow up when they enter
the water, but dive right in, leaving
ripples just as if pebble had been
dropped.
There are two bands on board. The
sailors have a band and the 65th ar
tlllery band There is a concert by
one or the other just at sundown
every evening. We have seen some
wonderful sunsets on this trip. There
is a navy orchestra on board, too, and
they play frequently for the officers

we sailed from S. F. yesterday
shortly after p. m. 1t was dandy
day and the bar was smooth as glass
and l don't think there we're more
than six or eight who we're sick. Our
journey 80 far has been perfect in
every detail. We are crowded in the
boat, of course, but I expected that.
Our hunks are three tiers high, my
bunk being on top, first class" SO
to speak. The boat is we'll equipped
with washing facilities, but we have
to use salt water, and most all the
brands of soap won't lather in salt
water, SO it's quite job to keep
clean.
So far. our mess has been fine.
The kitchen is equipped with electric
cookers, bread-slicing machines, dish
washing tanks, etc. I'll probably be
able to tell you more about it later,
as l will probably be on X. P, before
VIC leave the boat. We have all the
bread and butter we want, and the
bread is the best we have had since
we joined the army-white and
whole wheat.

NO AUTHORITY OVER
SUBSTITUTE PRICES

Portland, Ore, March 25.-Com-
menting upon the numerous inquiries
and thoughtless complaints being
made at the Food Administration Of
fices here, Federal Food Admins
traitor w. B. Aver said today:
Il wonder If the people Of the
state understand that the food ad-
ministration bill passed by congress
did not give the president authority
to fix the price Of any other grains
than wheat, and that in consequence
the Food Administration has been un-
able to control the price Of substi-
tutes. 1t must have been great war
necessity that compelled the presi-
dent to issue his recent 'fifty-fifty'
proclamation, calling upon the peo-
pie to conserve additional wheat.
Serious thought should be given to
this fact by those who are complain
ing about. the unavoidable little diff
culties With which they must contend
under the new rule. OF course, there
are some hardships and incon-
veniences bound up with the fifty
fifty order, but we should all re-
member that we are at war and that
these food regulations are war meas
ures and military necessities. 1t is
as much the duty of the people OF
this nation to supply wheat flour for
the armies at the front and for the
women and children of the countries
allied with us in this war as it is for
US to supply men to fight in the
trenches. 1t seems to me that the
patriotism Of the people here at home
should prompt them to welcome,
rather than to resent, the opportun-
ity of suffering little incon-
venienc, or even hardship, for the
sake of sending the supplies so sorely
needed, to those who are hopefully
waiting for them in Belgium, France
and England"

mess.


Another nice day. The wind blew
some during the night, but not
enough to roughen the water. We
passed some land this morning off to
the east, and so far away that it was
almost out of sight. 1t would be in
teresting to pass little closer to
some of these islands so that We
might see what they look like.
After the second day out we have
had a change in time every day, vary
ing from Is to 80 minutes. We are
going just little South of east now.
The navy changes time every day at
II a. m. We will get to the Panama
canal sometime tonight or tomorrow
morning. 1t is more than 5000 miles
from Frisco and only a little over
900 from New York, so our journey
will be considerably more than half
over.
We have been having abandon
ship" drill every morning at 10
o'clock. Each man is provided with
a life saver which resembles an ordi-
nary vest heavily padded, which he
keeps on his bunk. When we get to
the war zone these will be worn at
all times. During these drills it takes
less than three minutes to have every
man on deck. We also have half
hour period of exercise every morn
ing. Our hunks and sleeping quar-
ters are inspected twice day and we
have physical inspection once each
day. We have an hour instruction
period every afternoon, too, which is
devoted to wigwag and semaphore
signaling, and is tiresome to say the
least.
Later. AIS p. m.-We are in sight
of shore again and the closest in we
have been since we left San Francis
co, although as yet we have not been
able to tell anything about the coun-
try. We will probably arrive at the
canal some time tonight.

Well, 1t has been several days since
wrote any on this, due chiefly to the
heat. Everybody has discarded all
their clothes that they don't have to
wear. The sailors and naval officers
are all wearing their whites" Our
wooden underwear and oyercoats are
rather superfluous, to say the least.
It is a little cooler today than yester-
day. due to a fair breeze. The ex-
trome heat made work in the dining
room and kitchen almost unbearable.
The water continues very smooth,
however, so We haven't had any sea-
sickness.

sight of shore, and the only land we
have seen since was an island off to
the west which We passed just at
dusk last night. 1t was so far away
that we could hardly see it in the
dark.
Besides our regiment, the Goth.
there are about 200 sailors from
Mare Island and 100 or so of the hos
pital corps from various points along
the coast. There are bunch of med
ical officers on board, too, among
them a medical colonel, the first
have ever seen.
1t is much warmer where we are
now than at Frisco and we have all
discarded our sweaters. Last night
after supper l went out on the TOP
deck and watched dark settle in. II
was so warm and the stars were shin
ing so that l would have liked to
have slept out there. This sure has
been some trip. The ocean is so blue
down here that it is almost black
We have not passed boat of any
kind since we left Golden Gate. We
are about 100 miles from land now
they say, and we are speeding along
at about 22 knots an hour. Our
sailor friends tell us We will reach
Panama about Friday.
We are still eating on the apples
that were given us at Medford. They
were distributed to everybody or
board, but Battery E has the most.
About 40 of our Battery E bunch
were left at San Francisco as they
had been exposed to the measles. On
the trip down to Frisco, on the train
one of the fellows took down with
the measles, and so all the rest Of
the bunch who were in that car were
left in quarantine. 1t is thought that
they will go overland and meet us
somewhere on the east coast.

left Frisco Mr. Whited, Esther, Lucille
Barber and the rest of that Grove
were down at the dock. l suppose
