ON BOARD u. s. s. GEORGE
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-(By Wire
less)-President Wilson stood on the
bridge of the George Washington this
afternoon and saw a United States de-
stroyer give a thrilling demonstration
of the work of repulsing submarine
attack.
A touch of realism was given by the
drill of the men on board the liner and
conveying ships.
The great liner was gliding through
the tropical waters like O ship on n
duck pond when bugles and alarm
bells called the men to battle stations.
President Wilson was taken to the
bridge by Captain McCauley so that he
might get better view Of the demon
stration.
A destroyer which had been tagging
far astern suddenly leaped forward.
her tunnels vomiting smoke and white
sprays flashing from her bow as she
tore through the water at n clip OF
thirty knots per hour. AS the de-
stroyer came abeam of the liner, depth
bombs were dropped and great geysers
were thrown high into the air as the
warship zigzagged It's way through the
water beneath which was supposed 70
lurk the enemy submarine. Each ex-
plosion was distinctly felt on board the
George Washington. The conclusion
sounded like heavy blows being struck
against the side of the vessel.
President Wilson was most interest
ed in the demonstration and asked
questions about II going into the most
minute details.
The George Washington will pass
into the Azores tomorrow morning and
will turn northward on the last leg or
the voyage. There will be no stop at
the Azores.

Camp Pike Cook Writes.

Percy Wade Of Montrose., Ia, a sol
der boy at Camp Pike, Ark, has

Blondeau street, in which he describes
his new surroundings. His letter:
This cook and baking is some bust
ness. We cook for two hundred and
sixty-five men. Went to work yester-
| day at noon. Got off at nine and back
on at one and off at u. Twenty-four
! hours a shift, then two hours for
| school; the rest of the time you have
! to write and get your rest and wash
your clothes, If you can steal any
water.
Tell Helen this is the life If you
have the price, but if you have not,
you are out of luck. Every one who
can't afford to send their clothes to
the laundry goes dirty. / have a good
graft on getting water. There is a
little boy who stands guard at the
bath room across from my kitchen.
| have made friends with him because
he is so crippled up with rheumatism
that he can hardly walk and sneak
him out drink of ice water every
time get chance and he lets me in
the bath and shuts the door, stands
guard while clean up.
"But l guess will have to quit that.
almost got caught the other day. That
would have been guard house for
| both Of us. That's worse than being
dirty.
II think you remember how the dust
was at the corner at home. Well, it
is every where here, only about twice
as deep. One can hardly see across
| the street. These soldiers that you
see going by or coming in at the bar
racks are grim bunch, almost as
black as negroes and never knew be.
| fore what makes them good fighters
! until last night. But they were in
here before going to bed at bayonet
practice. l asked one if he didn't get
enough drilling in the day time and
he said: Yes all we can stand, but
| for our own protection we must be
better than any one we meet" And
SO you see what they mean when il
comes to close quarters. 1t is every
man get your man. l don't believe
any people in the world has anything
on this bunch.
