The Navy.

The navy gives every man, at the
time of his enlistment, enough
clothes to fill a big trunk, yet he
must pack it away in two bushel
bag. There is an art in rolling and
folding the garments, which is quick
ly learned from experienced sailors.
Each man gets five suits of clothes,
six hats, two pairs of shoes, two
pairs of leggins, an overcoat, a
sweater, two suits of underwear,
four pairs of socks, four handker-
chiefs, complete toilet outfit, shoe
shining outfit and other odds and
ends. The average boy has never
had so many clothes in his life.
Some ships have Iaundries and
the sailor may have his clothes
Numbered at small cost, but as
general rule each man in the navy
is his own valet. Clothes must APP
pear spotless at all times, soiled
tape or dirty white suits not being
tolerated. With the exception of
shoes, the entire navy uniform is
washable, and there is plenty of soap
and water at hand. The men soon
learn to take pride in their appear
ance, and do not find the work dis
agreeable.
The Lucky Bag is poor place to
keep clothes, though many articles
find their way to this receptacle.
When sailor fails to put all his
clothes in his own bag, leaving an
overshirt laying around somewhere.
the Master at Arms, making his
rounds, consigns it to the Lucky
Bag.
The sailor, discovering his loss,
Immediately makes inquiries. The
officer suavely tells him where the
garment is and returns it to him.
Next day the sailor is called before
his superiors and given four hours
extra duty for his negligence.
Though a sailors clothes are his
own property, the Government has a
certain claim to them. If, for in
stance, a sailor pawns his overcoat,
the navy officials can enter the shop
and take the garment, leaving the
dealer nothing in return. In local
tiles where there are naval stations,
it is customary to raid the pawn
shops occasionally.
No one has the right to wear the
navy uniform except regularly en-
listed men. This is federal law
and applies to women also. A girl
wearing a navy blouse, however, is |
not generally molested unless she |
wears the rating badge with it.
Clothes are marked with a stencil |
in white and black ink. The whole !
outfit is not issued at once, but
only as the season requires. Each |
recruit is credited with $50 worth of
clothes. If he orders less, the sur
plus is returned to him when his |
enlistment expires.

GOES BACK FOR MORE

Corporal Peter Robinson Of Utica,
N. T., reported recently at the British
and Canadian recruiting mission in
New York while on his way back to
France. The corporal has served near
ly three years in the trenches with the
East Lancashire regiment and the
Royal Welsh Fusiliers, and fought at
the Marine, Neuve Chapelle, Loos and
the Somme. he has been mixed up in
four hand-to-hand bayonet encounters
with the enemy and got his man each
time. In his first fight of this kind,
however, at Mametz, his antagonist
gave him severe bayonet wound in
the thigh before succsMbing to Irish
valor.
The corporal was gassed at Loos,
and was buried by the explosion of
big shell which killed five men and
wounded three others near him. In
addition to his bayonet thrust, he was
struck by shrapnel and his chin still
plainly shows the mark of the wound.

SAYS GERMAN LACKS HUMOR

John Galsworthy, the famous Eng
lish novelist, who has written a great
deal Of the great war, thinks the great
est German fault is lack of humor. He
has this to say on the subject:
''The German of today has no phil
osophic humor, no power Of self criti-
cism. This is a terrible nationals
defect, whether emanating from the
individual deficiency or from living un-
der a despotic bureaucracy organized
as state despotism."
Galsworthy believes the allies will
triumph through their sentiment and
sense of humor. There is in the blood
of the American, Frenchman and Eng
lishman a salt which inclines our peo-
pie to individual liberty and to those
democratic forms of government
which alone permit of enough philoso-
phic humor and self-criticism to keep
patriotism sober. The inspiration Of
an ideal that far transcends the idea
of glory to our individual countries

London, July 23.--In a statement
today on food problems, Herbert c.
Hoover, the American food adminis-

agricultural substitution, which, he
said, was dominated by two critical
and related factors, the first of which
was time and the second expenditure
in fodder and land productivity.

from three to five years. On the
other hand, we could bring about an
enormous increase in our meat and
fat production through swine, within
nine to - months"
= After announcing that all anxiety
had passed, Mr.. Hoover continued:
I'VE are building ships as a part Of
our submarine defense. We now have
built up our food reserves in the near
est market as a further defense. The
call for ships for food next year will
be less than last, and consequently
we will have more ships for Ameri-

ELASTICITY DID 1T!

military experts that the French and
American Ambitious attack to break
through" which in Baron Won Ar
denne's words, might have caused
a decisive change in the military situ-

because of the famous German sys-
tenn Of an elastic defense.
1t is explained that the enemy only
obtained initial successes due to the
fact that Gen. Won Boehm's right
flank Of 25 miles was not STRONGLY
held and his main strength lay on the
eastern flank. Significant, however,
is Baron Won Ardenne's admission that
Chateau Thierry and scissors were

Despite the German determination,

Il Probably the heaviest fighting to-
day occurred on the eastern wing Of
the salient where British troops took

gagged the enemy in a hand-to- hand
conflict in the extreme wooded region
southwest of Rheims.
-Four fresh divisions faced them
One German division which had held
the line against the Italians had been
annihilated, only a few hundred re-
manning. The Germans had a large
number of machine guns in this vi

them in the course of a strong attack

more than 200 prisoners.
