No Complaints From Men With
 American Destroyer Flotilla

!, ,(Correspondcnce of The Associated Press.)
 Base of American Flotilla in British Waters, Jan. 25.-Admiral Henry T. Mayo, commander of the Atlantic fleet, has cabled to Vice-Admiral Sims, in charge of American naval operations in the war zone, request for information regarding the suit ability of the special winter outfits of clothing furnished to the naval men by the Navy department at Washing ton. Admiral Mayo also wants to know of any recommendations for changes in these garments.
 The Associated Press correspon- ent has yet to hear a word of com plaint against the present outfits worn by the men. Thanks to the busy women who knit, most of the men. early in their arrival here received excellent sweaters, jerseys and socks which were sent by wives, relatives and friends back home. When the cold weather came on these were augmented by an entirely new issue of extra heavy winter clothing. Many of these garments were designed by
 
 ence in torpedo boats in the hard win ters off this coast.
 Here are some of the things which when donned, make some of the men ! look more like Arctic explorers than bluejackets:
 1 Helmets of wool which cover all | but the eyes, nose and mouth; light 1 knitted coat sweaters, jerseys and l cardigan jackets; knitted mittens and l gloves; extra heavy coarse under 1 clothing; heavy woOlen socks and l knee-length stockings; leather sea boots; wind-proOf khaki cOIored trousers; great coats lined with lambs wool. The last named are worn over the life jackets and help to make up the most serviceable combination worn by Americans over here. They keep the men warm on the damp, cold days with the biting winds when the sleet squalls are hourly affairs and you can't see an inch-''
 l Relatives of a large majority of the men over here continue to send them | knitted things. All sorts of knitted | garments arrive and are deeply ap-
 preciated. OttumeS the men receive knitted garments from wife or sweet
 heart that are not very serviceabIe
 but accompanying letters from home are so enthusiastic that the men hesi-
 tate to utter a word of criticism.
 Experience has shown that tho | women folks back home ought to con
 centratc on socks as they are in the t greatest demand and most appreci | ated of all things they send to thE ; sailor boys over here.

CATHOLIC COLONY
 WILL RAISE CROPS
Fourteen Locations in Middle West and south Ready for De-
 vclOpment.

Chicago, March "A nation-Wid colonization campaign has been be gun throughout the country by the Catholic Colonization Society, l.. $. A. with the view of inteIligently locating people on farms in order that the food supply of the nation may be safeguarded and increased.
 The organization has investigated a number of projects out of which it has selected some fourteen which are now ready for settlers. These prof ects are located in the states of Michigan, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, Montana, Colorado. Texas. Arkansas, Mississippi and Florida More colony tracts arc to be provided in the near future.
 The services of the society," which is the recognized national directing bureau for prospective settlers, are free to all, whether of the Catholic faith or any other. The work of the society is especially useful to people Nof foreign birth who are not ac- quainted with the country nor with the way of getting to the land in safe and practical manner. These people are, many of them, of the Catholic faith and have full conf dence in an institution recommended by their church.
 The archbishop of Milwaukee, who is director general of the society," states that the organization seeks to cover the entire United States in it's search for suitable tracts of land, while Herbert Hoover, food admin
 strator writes in part: It is with pleasure that I learn of the aims and work of the Catholic Colonization Society, which body, as l understand, is unseltishly striving to encourage people especially foreigners, to go back to the soil. In our work we are Vitally interested in the results of all efforts to increase the produc- tiOn of foodstuffs for America and the Allies. without which we cannot "carry On.'
 The society seeks to use the very best talent obtainable in the work Of investigation of it's projects and everything is done to safeguard the interests of the colonist. 1'he busi- ness end of the work of colonization | is carried on by the Catholic Land Information Bureau, |. $. A. under direction and supervision of the so- 1 ciety, in the Ashland Block, Chicago,
