OUR ARMY AND NAVY
OF BASEBALL FANS
In EVERY CAMP LEAGUES ARE
COMPETING DAILY ON Ola.
MONDS FOR THE HONOR OF PEN
NANT WINNER.

WASHINGTON, June Men of the
national army have become so en-
thusiastic over the sports provided
at the camps by the Commission On
Training Camp Activitie; that the
War Department has decided 10 en-
large and Increase the number of ath-
letic fields. Reports received form all
camps show that thousands Of men
take part in the games, with baseball,
of course, in the lead.
More than 10000 baseballs and 1000
bats have been sent to the camps,
with gloves, masks and chest protec-
tors New baseball diamonds have
been laid out in nearly every camp
Camp Lewis, in Washington, probably
heads the list of baseball fans. The
soldiers in this camp have sixteen
diamonds and the clearing space fer
others. Exhibition games have been
staged, with the co-oDaration Of the
major leagues, which have brought in
considerable gate receipts.
The commissions athletic directors
have organized company, battalion
regimental and interregimental
leagues, and plans have been com
pleted to have the various classes
meet in the fall in post-seasonal
games to decide who are ''pennant
winners"
Next to baseball, boxing is proving
the most popular sport. So great has
become the demand for instruction
that in one camp alone more than SOC
assistant boxing instructors are kept
busy. Six thousands sets of boxing
gloves have been sent to the camps
and orders have been placed for thou
sands more Matches are frequent
ly staged between company, regiment
and camp champions, which always
draw capacity audiences instruction
in the finer points of the sport are
given by professional boxers, who wear
the army uniform.
Track athletics probably rank thirl
in popularity. Competitions have
been arranged with the athletic or
CARNATIONS in cities near the camps
and as many as four track meets have
taken place as one time in one camp
AS many as 800 men have taken part
in divisional championships, and the
meets have been witnessed by more
than 10000 spectators.
Tennis courts have been built in
every camp, and the sport is gaining
in popularity. Forty courts have
been built in one camp, and the num-
Der is to be trebled. Through the CO.
operation of the United States Lawn

RIsKED BLOW-UP
To SAVE LIVES
LIEUT.. HAISLIP DROVE DESTROY
Err AMID EXPLODING MUNITIONS
AND RECOVERED THIRTY -FOUR
OF THE FLORENCE'S CREW.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Stories
of the heroic daring OF American
naval Officers and men in rescuing
thirty-four of the seventy-five men,
bers of the crew of the American mu-
nitions ship Florence H, which caught
fire and broke in two in French wa
tiers last April II, are told in the re-
port of Rear Admiral Wilson, COM
handing the American naval forces in
France, made public by the Navy De-
partment.
Lieut.. H. D. Haislip, of San Mateo
Cal, who, at the risk of decorating
his depth charges and destroying
his vessel promptly charged his de-
stroyer through the mass of blazing
and exploding wreekage covering the
water in which survivors were strug-
Cling is recommended for commenda-
ton.

ington, of Durant, Okla, are recon-
mended for congressional medals OF
honor and gold life saving medals.
They leaped into the sea and rescued
man who, exhausted, was in the
midst of exploding powder boxes.
Six officers who commanded life
and motor boats which entered the
wIeckage to rescue men who were
being badly burned about the head
and arms, two surgeons and chap
lain and weight seamen who were
with them are mentioned for commen-
dation.
Admiral Wilson in describing the
situation, said:
THE sea about the wreckage was
covered by mass Of boxes of smoke
less powder, which were repeatedly
exploding and amongst these wreck
age were number of survivors. The
wreckage was so thick boats were I'M
able to reach these men. The heat
from the burning vessel in the vicini-
ty was so intense that the converted
yachts present, with wooden upper
works, could not safely penetrate the
wreckage
Under these conditions Lieut. HAS
lip took his vessel at high speed into
the midst of the wreckage, at a con-
siderable risk of decorating the depth
charges carried on his vessel, and
made lanes through which the small
boats lowered by his and other vessels
could reach the survivors.
The dash, initiative and courage
shown by lieut.. Haislip on this occa-
sion are in order with the best ira
ditions of our service, and it is rec
commended that he be commissioned
by the Navy Department"
The French vice admiral command
ing the district, in commencing Lieut.
Haislip said he gave proof of superb
contempt of danger and remarkable
qualities of seamanship.'
Admiral Wilson issued a special or.
der lauding the rescuers, officers and
men, and saying that, due to their
prompt and gallant action, it appeared
that all who were not killed in the
flames of the Florence H, were res.
cued.

NEW ENGLAND AT THE FRONT.

Those who recall Civil War days when
the Sixth Massachusetts Regiment fought
its way through Baltimore must have
been thrilled when the news came that
New England division had taken our
flag into the great Battle of Picardy.
Separated by nearly sixty years of time
and three thousand miles of sea, distinct
in practically all details of scene and
action, it is still the same crusade for
freedom as that to which the men of the
Sixth gave their best. It. certainly is
different sort of New Highlander. Cotton
Mather would shudder to see these poly
got inheritors of the spiritual common
wealth he sought to fond: Portuguese
fishermen from down on the Cape, Slo-
wax garment workers from South Bos-
ton, Swedish. farmers from Connecticut
tobacco fields, Finnish chair makers from
Gardner, French-Canadian loggers from
the heart of the Maine woods, and Italian
artisans from the hat mills of Danbury,
all lined up with old-time Yankee boys
from the Vermont sugar bush and the
lobster pots of Nantucket. They are
fighting for the brick-lined factory streets
of Fall River and Manchester as well as
for the little white villages that nestle
among New Hampshire's elms and the
great State House that holds its sway on
Beacon Hill. But behind them all are
three hundred years of history, whether
they know it or not; and in them all is
the courage that famed up after the
Deerfield massacre and avenged the hor
rors of King Philips War. They will
hold their lines as the farmers did on
Bunker Hill or go forward under orders
with the same bravery and steadfastness
as inspired those historic charges at
Fredericksburg and Cold Harbor, Men
change, but their land remains and
moulds their souls in its own image.
Generations may come and go, and the
races of the world may mlngle there, but
New England is New England, as of old.

Goodrich Rubber Company.

Twelve years, with not single fire
loss to exceed one hundred dollars, is the
record of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber
Company, Akron, Ohio. Although this
corporation carries millions of dollars of
fire insurance, no claims have been asked
in this period. This record is remarkabl
when one considers that the company's
property includes over sixty factory build
lngs with a total floor space of over 100
acres, and employs over 5000 people.
According to R. W. Parry, Fire Chief of
the Goodrich Company, this record is the
result of constant watchfulness.
Twelve fire fighters guard the immense
properties of the company. These men
have modern quarters located in the heart
of the plant and can reach the farthest
point among the factory buildings, a dis
lance of nearly 1900 feet, in fraction
over two minutes. These excellently
drilled men are everlastingly on the look
out for fire hazards. They make daily
trips see that aisles and doorways are not
blocked. They also inspect the fire ap-
paratuS daily.
The Factory Mutual Fire Insurance Co.,
one of the strictest fire insurance organi-
cations in the world, reports that it is
the cleanest and best protected factory in
the State of Ohio.
Chief Parry and his organization have
the CO. operation of every employee of the
institution. Drills are conducted in the
different departments of the plant-for
instance, 225 girl employees of one build
ing, scattered on five floors, have repeat
eddy left the building in the short space
of one minute and twenty seconds during
fire drills.
According to MIR. Parry, 90 per cent of
the small fire flashes that might terminate
in large and costly CONGREGATIONS, are ex-
tinguished before the company depart
ment arrives. These flashes are put out
by employees by the aid of chemica ais
rs per cent of these small fires are with
out loss caused by water. In other words,
only Is per cent of them reach the heat
demanded to open the automatic sprinkler
neads These heads contract and open at
155 degrees heat. Another damage pre-
vention, according to Mr.. Parry, is the
use of soapstone instead of sand. Rubber
cement is used in large quantities in many
sections of the plant and while soapstone
serves the same purpose as sand, it has no
injurious effects on rubber and rubber ce-
ment
The fire fighting apparatus of the Good
rich consists of one hose cart, 1876 cheml-
cal tubes, %, 600 feet fire hose, 1000 fire
pals, 543 fire extinguishers ranging IN
size from three to twenty gallon capacl-
ties two fire foam extinguishers, which
are used only on oil fires, and 1888
sprinkler heads.

THE AIRCRAFT MIDDLE

While the fate of the world is hanging
in the balance there is little disposition to
do much investigating or crltizing of this
government, but the publicly made charges
of Gutzon Borglum, appointed by Presi-
dent Wilson to personally investigate the
causes of failure in aircraft production
cannot be passed over without some COM
ment Mr.. Borglum states in substance
that contracts were ''corralled' and placed
in the hands of profteerers; that all
practical aeroplane manufacturers were
ignored when they offered advice; that
the contracts were given to men who
were not prepared in any way to carry
them out in manner which the investi-
gator declares was unfair, unjustitied
and in the nations emergency, criminal. y
He further asserts that Gen. SquierS,
head of the Signal service, was betrayed
by his subordinates and that he was I'M
posed upon by ring of proiteers. The
result was the waste of approximately a
billion dollars of the nations money and
with very little to show for it.
All of this explains why America dis
appointed her Allies in not sending across
the fighting aeroplaneS they had counted
upon having in the early part OF tins
wear and it may account for some other
things which the United States has not
done which she expected to do. 1t does
not seem possible that charges OF this
kind, made by man especially designated
bv President Wilson for the purpose, can
be passed over without being fully in
ouired into. Eventually all of the facts
must come out and when they do some
one will be held to strict accountability
for allowing such condition of affairs to
continue. Portland Press.
All the facts may come out, but what
reason have we for believing that any
body will be held to account or that any
BODY will be punished?
