Rear Admiral McGowun, paymaStel
general Of the navy. issued the order III
connection with this ch'nge in policy.
every man released from shore duty,
whatever his rank Or rating, adds just
one more to the fighting force, says
this order. Every man of every rank
and rating desires, Of course, to get to
the firing line as soon as his services
ashore can be spared.
No man in the navy is vi ing in war
time to do anything that /; s<toman can
do as well; whereas no oliieer'c can be
expected to be content III any part OF
the shore establishment unless engaged
upon supervisory work so important IN
its nature that it cannot properly be
delegated to any person of lesser rat
ing.
Wherefore it is requested and d.
rected that the officer in charge OF
each division of the bureau of supplies
and accounts make careful and criti-
cal survey of his personnel both COM
missioned and enlisted, to the end that
the paymaster general may know how
many and which men can be spared
without seriously interfering with the
work. These reports will include not
alone reservists but regulars as we'll,
and it is to be distinctly understood In
this connection that applications from
individuals for sea or overseas service
will not be necessary-the one and
only object being to carry on the work
here and at the same time release the
maximum number Of men for duty at
the 'front.'"

German Morale Badly shaken.

Amsterdam, Aug. 13.-Morale In
Germany has suffered severely from
recent defeats. Several critics are
dumb and the people are gloomily sug-
costing that the army, may be c0m-
PEELED to fall back a long way all along
the line, according to information from
German cities. Some of the evening
papers admit that Haig has given the
Germans a serious check, but explain
that the withdrawal is due to unfavor-
able weather, heavy nist giving The
Allies advantage.

establishment of an eastern front that
will be a serious menace to the Ger

with the making public of the full

Expect Aid From Allies.
That the men who compromise the
new Russian government expect aid
from the Allies is shown in procla-
nation by them which reads In part:
1T (the new government) knows
that the Allied troops come not to in
terfere with internal affairs and their
arrival is not against the desires Of
the local population. Therefore the
supreme government greets the Allied
forces entering the north to wage the
contest against the common enemy
and summons the entire population to
greet them gladly"

ENTRIC FEVER
 NOT PREVALENT

London, Nov. 29.---In the great war the British armies had only 4,OO0 cases of enteric fever in over four years, despite the fact that the troops have frequently been bilIeted in areas in fested with the disease. This is at tributed to the efforts of the British Army Medical Service. Medical off, cers say that illness among the Brit .ish Army has been reduced to a min- imum Sanitation and inoculation have been primarily responsible for this happy state of affairs.
 To understand the strides that have been made it must be remembered that during the two and a half years of the South African war there were more than 5O0OO cases of enteric among a force of 200,O men and this in country practically immune from the disease up to the outbreak of hos tilities.
 Throughout the British army in France infectious diseases have been practically eliminated. Every officer in the British army has been given a course in sanitation. Successful tox. inc and vaccines have been invented for gas, gangrene, etc. and huge strides have been made in the advance | of surgery.

NEW FIELD FOR
 LONDON ACTORS

London, Nov. 29---Thousands of people in overcrowded London who stand for hours before theatres wait ing to get the best unreserved seats are furnishing a means of livelihood for amateur actors. As the crowds have steadily increased the past three months the actors come and entertain them while they wait.
 Two black-face comedians are the most popular. They may be seen any afternoon or night where the lines are longest and are busy between song and joke picking up coins thrown to them. An Italian girl with a pleasing voice also is popular and successful.
 Every theatre in London is doing a thriving business now. Hundreds of men are here on leave. Relatives of Englishmen in London for a few days come here to be with them. Many American soldiers and sailors spend their leave here and all try to stop in London few days if possible en route to France. Hotels and restaurants are crowded and hundreds stand in line for unreserved seats at the theatre bcause they are unable to reserve seats ahead.

"A CRITICAL SITUATION"

Inspiring history of the great war iS being written from day 60 day in the citations for bravery reported by General Pershing If We read every one of them, no matter now long the list. we will be better Americans. Here is one:
 Second Lieutenant William B. Moore-On June 6. 1918, he volun- teered and took a truckload Of am munition and material into the town of BourcsChes over a road swept by artillery and machine gun fire. thereby relieving q critical situation"
 History of this sort does not use ad- jeCtives It Is written from the field is pathetic thing.

 But that truckload of ammunition and material what if it had not been there and American bravery would have been futile? That's our busi, ness-we $tay-at-homcs- to see that thos" trucks, piled high, are there. We must be sure of it. Our Liberty bonds buy ammunition and material. The Fourth Liberty loan is coming for six or cigh' billions, and we must be ready to | .ck up that wonder army of Lieutenant MOores.

A number of business men of Ju- neau are trying to replenish the streams of Alaska with mountain trout and with that purpose have or, ganized an association and estab- lished a hatchery at Juneau with a competent man in charge. It Is their further purpose to stimulate interest along this line among the coast towns, so that membership. with dues of H, may be had by anyone desiring to join representative will be ap- pointed here to receive memberships. distribute data and see about tAe placing of fry in neighboring streams.
 This has already been started through MT Hesse, who supervised the transportation of 10000 trout fry from Juneau to Cordova. Of this mum Der about 5000 have been placed in EIumpbaCll creek, at the power plant, above the falls. where destructive fsh cannot reach them. Others will prob ably be placed in the creek leading to the lake, also above the falls, while Hency creek is also being considered.

Prince Lichnowsky. former German ambassador to London. who conducted the negotiations intended to keep Great Britain neutral. shows plainly in his recently-published memorandum that Germany deliberately forced the war, despite the efforts of the British government and the German ambassa- dor to prevent it.
