our part in this great world war. 1t

are sacrificing? They are risking
their lives that our liberty. NAV be
safe. and in return they shall need
care. food, clothes for their bodies.
and weapons to fight our battles.
From you who are their resource
and reliance, who are the heart and
hope OF that community for which
they smite and strive, must come
these things. Buy your country's
bonds. DO not wait for the commit
tee to call on you. Notify them how
many you can take. They are in the
denominations so low and on such
terms that virtually every citizen of
tnis country may share in the benefit
tney bring and the purpose they
serve: You, Mr.. Workingman: What
would your job be worth, If we
should not win this war. What would
that old Liberty Bell mean if we
were defeated. It would mean YOU
would be slave of the Kaiser as the
workingmen of Belgium are today.

pends upon how you invest in these
bonds.
And you Mr.. Farmer: You NAV

are driven into captivity as the
women and children of Belgium have
been.

must put the profit we gain from the
farm into Liberty Bonds that our
Government may buy our wheat.
Our soldiers are doing evervthinp
they can to hold the Germans back.
II they fail your farms will be levied
to pay the indemnity. Buy bond

Every citizen should do his bit. Our
country is stalking its life to make
the world safe for you. Unless the
men are properly equipped their blood
will be sacrificed to your selfishness.
Every Liberty Bond sold shortens the
road to Berlin

The Question No

1t was my turn, and l asked him
the question no sailor has ever been
able to answer. "Why did you come
to sea-" He grinned, showing two
rows of perfect teeth. Him. he
said, and jerked his head over his
shoulder at the other ordinary sea-
man wincing beneath the whispered
exhortations of his instructor. "Him

nature this time, including a routine
inspection of the storerooms and
magazines, and 1 joined the little
group of officers who hurried in the
wake of that tall, striding figure
with gold lace around the peak of his
cap, who knew his ship as l know
the inside of my pocket.
We were band of strenuous ad-

hand was forever going out to run
along a transverse frame or search
the interior of cofferdam in the
same fruitless quest. Precipitation

less first lieutenant obediently
flashed an electric torch into some
crannyhole; the hunt checked while
the captain craned and peered, and
then moved on. The first lieuten-
ants sigh of relief was always
audible above the ring Of our foot
steps. Once, as the procession sped
along some labyrinth among the
shell-rooms, the captains finger shot
out accusingly to indicate a junction

was an affair of brass secured by
small screws, but one of the screws
was missing.
"Spoke about that last week"

we hurried on. and wiped his face.

aside, stood quietly at attention un-

tasks or leisure. Workshops, kit

went in swift, slightly bewilder-
ing rush while the "owner" jerked
explanations over his shoulder. He
. displayed q familiarity with the de-
tails of it all that was, to say the
least, interesting to one of an
other navy, whose captains claim to
be not Indifferent "ships' husbands"
Our whirlwind tour carried US
into a speckless electric bakery
piled high with fragrant loaves. The
captain had flung open and closed
the door of an oven secured by an
ingenious but rather complicated
latch. AS we emerged l commented
on his evident familiarity with the
internal fitting of his ships bakery

plunged, dofing his cap, into the
sick bay. There were over thou
sand men en- board, and about half a
dozen of them had found their way
here.
"Well, t." said the captain,
addressing by name an able seaman
of a stature wellnigh equalling his
own, "how's that hand getting on?"
The man stood up and met his
captains eyes without embarrass-
ment; just, in fact, as one citizen
regards another.

sters, again by name. The boy
dropped his marling spike and re-

stood before us without trace of
sheepishness or apparently aware
of any distinction in being thus sim
gled out by his captain by name
