A SAILORS LETTER.
Philadelphia, Pa

/
Dear Mother
No doubt you will be surprised to
hear Of ME being in Philadelphia. We
left the Illinois at Yorktown, va,
Friday and stayed at Norfolk Friday
night. Saturday we went on a
steamer to Cape Charles and took the
train up through Maryland and del
aware, passing through Wilrnington
and Dover. Got in toPhiladelphla
about 1880 last night. This A. NJ.
we were granted "a hours liberty,
and / am at the Y. M. G. A. now and
Clarence Harrison and several went
to church and are going out for din
ner.
This is the finest place / have seen
yet. They carry the sailors around
in cars, make all kinds of entertain
|
ments for them; it's a heaven COM
pared with the Illinois. That was a
regular mad house, and you could
hardly take bath without some one
stealing your clothes. It was crowd
ed 50 we had no room for anything
!. "
you see it was training ship, and J
was glad when my six weeks were up.
This is paradise, and a fellow who
could not be satisfied here, would
grunt in glory.
| got awfully sea sick, and if you
could have seen me then you would
have said, my Willie Is Slightly ALL
ing" The sea was rough all the
time the last trip we made, and the
waves would come clean over the top
of the ship.
We are at liberty here every night
and AZ hours on Saturday and Sun
day. wish / could stay here all the
time, but when they call for us again
we will sail for Brest, France, or
Queenstown, Ireland. They sent be-
tween seven and eight hundred sal
Tors away last night. They will soon
see the shore of France. They are
going over every day, and you could
have no idea what gigantic scale of
war preparation Uncle Sam is now in.
The gloom of this war is not where
the boys are, but in the homes we left.
All Of us are care-free, as though we
were out on pleasure trip.
/ think l could change my rating
again and not have to go across for
sometime yet, but all we boys want
to stay together and there is not much
Danger over ON the coast where they |
send us for general detail.
This is about all / can write now.
Will let you hear from me as often as
you like while / am here, but letters
won't come so often when / go to sea
again. saw soldier yesterday who
las been over to France different
lines. He says there is very little
Inference here and there where we
sailors are going, and that they very
seldom see submarine.
Write soon, and the news.

MANUFACTURING ACTIVITY
Evidenced by 1917 Foreign Trade Ex- ports Over Twice That of 1915 and Four Times That of 1914.

The 1917 activity of the manufactu- rers of the United States is evidenced
 by the fact that the value of manu-
 featuring material imported in 1917
 was double that of 1915. The value
 of manufacturing material imported
 as shown by a compilation by The
 National City Bank of New York, in
 the calendar year 1917, was in round
 terms S1 800 eco 000 against $957 900 :
 900 in 1915 and .sS74.0O0,O00 in 1914 Manufacturing material formed in 1917 61 per cent. of the total merchandise imported against 54 per cent. in 1915 and 4a per cent. in 1914.
 Another evidence of tho activity oi the manufacturers of the United States 1 in the year just ended. is found in l the fact that the value of manufac- ] lures exported in the calendar year i 1917 aggregated nearly S4,003 900 00( I against s1 791 900, 900 in 1915 and s974,- :, 900 009 in 1914.

 creases for 1916 are due to highers prices, the quantities imported are in
 most cases much larger. especially
 when compared with 1915.

CLAY TARGETS A HELP TO GAME CONSERVATION
The Trapshooter Believes in Sport for Sports Sake and is Opposed to the Game Hog.

 In f1ocks of millions, the clay bird'' l challenges the shooter to pit his skill hagainst the speed of the target and it's predilection to be where the shot is not and leaves the gunn1an the poor con

 Charpentier holds / the heavyweight championship of Europe. He won it over Bombardier Wells, the British fighter. In tlAeir first meeting hn Brussels Charpentier triumphed in the landed victory in exactly seventy three seconds. These successes over Wells made him undisputed leader of Europe in the heavyweight class.
 The fact that Charpentier was then but eighteen years old and weighed seventy pounds less than his oppo- nent made his victories the more re- markable. Corneau as his trainer, came in for no little glory. Charpentier's admirers thought the worlds championship was easily within his reach.

Miss Biurssedt Retains Tennis Title.


 Saturday afternoon at the Seventh Regiment arnory in New York Miss Molla Biurstedt won the indoor ten nis championship for women from Miss Eleanor Goss of Brooklyn. Miss Goss with her rapid fire style of play had the foreigner guessing during the first set and won easily 6-S. By the second set Miss Bjurstedt had taken her opponents measure and held her to one game. The third set was close and it looked as if the crown might actually topple from the Norwegian's head when the score reached 4-3 for Miss Goss. She overreached herself however. and Miss Bjurstedts longer ! experience enabled her to put the l game on ice. The pair were very evenly matched and Miss Goss' play i ing was up to that of the champion in all points of the game.
