DANIELS COMMENDS
DONORS OF TOBACCO
Navy Yard Civilian Corps Sends
Monthly Supply to Sailors
Overseas

Efforts of civilian employees of the Phla-
delphia Navy Yard to keep American sailors
in the European service supplied with ciga-
rettes and tobacco are heartily commended by
Secretary Daniels in letter received from
him by Rear Admiral BENJAMIN Tappan,
commandant of the navy yard
Thousands of neat packages of smoking
materials have been shipped abroad through
the agency of Paymaster j. j. Kehoe Red
Cross supply officer, and the good Offices of
the Navy Auxiliary of the Red Cross 22I
South Eighteenth street. These supplies were
purchased with funds voluntarily donated by
the navy yards 1000 civilian workers. Secre-
tary Daniels wrote as follows:
Il have learned with much interest of the
generous contributions which the men en-
ployed at the Philadelphia Navy Yard have
been making to the comfort and Mea sure
of the sailors on our destroyers and ptner
war vessels in sending them tobacco, and |
wish you would express to them my appre-
citation of this very thoughtful and generous
work. The men at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard can always be depended upon to do
even more than is required of them in patri-
otic service. Sincerely yours.
"JOSEPiUS DANIELS"
In some French and other European ports
where the American WarShipS operating in
those waters have bases, an adequate supply
Of tobacco for the fighting men is unobtain-
able in the shops, and such as can be had is
of very poor quality.
Learning of this fact employees at the
navy yard here determined that every month
they would send the sea fighters of Uncle
Sam thousands of individual boxes, each of
which contains four packages of cigarettes
a sack of smoking tobacco and "A package of
rice papers for ''makings" and plug of
chewing tobacco.
