done our hitch in He'll.

We have sunk hundred submarines
which have tried to sink our ships,
And we kept the agonizing cries of
death from many innocent lips;
We steamed thousand miles and
landed soldiers at all the camps,
We have shaken a million seaweeds
from out our navy pants,
But when at sea our work is done,
Our friends behind will tell,
When they died they went to Heaven
for they've done their hitch in Hell.
When the final taps are sounded and
we lay aside our cares,
And we do the very best parade right
up the golden stairs,
And the angels bid us welcome when
\ the harps begin to play.
1t is them who will hear St. Peter tell
us loudly with yell:
Just take a front seat, boys, for
you've done your hitch in He'll"

Mr.. |. Gelders,

Dear Mr.. Gelders:

ME by the Leader Enterprise in send
| ing me the paper as regular as it has
been sent and | am so anxious for
any news from home that | read even
the advertisements in it and enjoy it
very much; in fact, don't know what

take place in my sea life as well as
any Of my work.

I"Oklahoma" to the U. S. S. Hull" on
the first of January and since coming
on it have seen some of the most ex-
citing and interesting sights than
number of the men in the service have
for there are number of them that
have not had the chance yet.
The "Hull'' is one of Uncle SANS
most dependable and sea-worhty de-
stroyers and as the Admiral says it is
the best riding one in the hotilla for
you know what a life on a torpedo
boat destroyer is, the worst part of
the whole Navy, but some one has to
man them and | am for doing my part
more than anybody else and have no
kick coming at whatever comes.
! am enclosing a couple Of snap
shots of one of Uncle Sans trim,
sleek black destroyers and also one
of the mascots of the ship including
Cook, Bill and Rags The goat and
dog are real "Old Timers" in the Ma
Wy and have seen cruise or more in
the service and are good for two or
three more.
The "Hulp' is one of the most serv-
iceable of her type and is capable of
thirty knots an hour and a fraction
over, SO it won't do for any of the
Kaiser's U-boats to come in close
contact with her as she has two
double torpedo tubes and is manned
with three prize gun crews and six
other gun crews which would make it
hot for any ship except an Allied YES
sell
The poem will probably describe
the ship better than | can and | think
that they will both be appreciated
There is only crew of about one

every man on board has taken out
some War Risk Insurance, and is the
owner of one or more Liberty Bonds
and number have quite a few War
Savings Stamps and are doing all that
they can to stop this war and can
hardly wait for another trip across as
we are hoping to get our share of the
detestable U-boats and any other kind
that Kaiser Bill has out on the high
seas
Please give my best regard to ev-
cry one of the force as we'll as anv
one of my friends that you happen to
see in town. and hoping to receive
every issue of your paper, l am,

A Grimy Destroyer's Crew

They needn't climb at their sleeping
time,
To a hammock that sways and
bumps;
They leap ker PUNK! in a coy bunk
That quivers and bucks and Jumps.
They hear the sound of the seas that
pound
On the half-inch plates of steel,
And close their eyes to the lullabies
OF the creaking sides and keel.
They're lusty crowd that is vastly
proud
OF the slim black craft they drive;
OF the roaring fues and the humming
crews
Which make her a thing alive.
They love the lunge of her surging
plunge
And the murk of her smoke screen,
AS they said the seas in their dun
garees.
A grimy destroyer's crew.
There's roll and pitch and a heave
and hitch
10 tHe nautical gaze they take,
For they're used to the cant of the
decks aslant
AS the white-toothed combers break
On the plates that thrum like beaten
drum
To the thrill of the turbines might,
AS the knife bow leaps through the
yeasty deeps,
With the speed of shell in fight.
Oh! their scorn is quick for the crews
that stick
To a battleship's steady floor,
For they love the lurch of their own
frail perch
At thirty-five knots or more.
They don't get much of the drill and
such
That the battleship jackies do,
But sail the seas in their dungarees
A grimy destroyer's crew.

Our Hitch in He'll

l am sitting here and thinking of the
things left behind,
And l hate to put on paper what is
running through my mind.
We have sunk hundred submarines
and cleared the seas for miles
around,
And a meaner place this side of He'll,
! know it can't be found;
But there's still one consolation, gath
er closely while tell,
When we die we're going to Heaven,
for we've done our hitch in He'll.
We have a hundred galleys for the
cooks to stew our beans,
We stood a hundred sea watches and
snuffed out submarines,
We've washed a million dishes and
peeled million spHds,
We've dashed "a hundred hammocks
and washed a hundred duds.
The number of parades we've made
isn't hard to tell,
But we'll parade in Heaven for we've

Germans May Still Hold
Their Trump Cards in Battle

Monday morning, when their attacks
began. Tho allies. therefore, seem to
have reason to believe that the SUI
preme test Of their defense has been
met successfully.
The battle Is not over ~ yet. and
there may be possibility, IL not q
probability, that the German high
command has not played its trump
cards In, tho mighty game that Il go-
ing on.
There Is, however. . feeling Of sat-
isfaction over the first phases of the
new drive and confidence that the al
lied forces will continue to resist as
vigorously as they have during the
terrible first hours Of the conflict.
German artillery is reported active In
the Albert sector and In some other
regions along the British front. but
there have been no portentous devel-
opments there. The British have im-
proved their po1fttuns slightly In the
lers-Bretonnssxx sectors
