Feeding Men at Sea

An account Of how soldiers are
fed at sea is given in the daily
newspaper published on a trans.
port:
Outside of providing 100000
meals at sea, the mess officer OF
the ship has very little to do. Very
little.
He is only called upon to pro-
vide, by the regulations, $50 diff
ferent varieties of food. That's all.
Ever try to order 1870 different
things to eat9 Yet this is the au-
thentic list.
The food needed to feed sever
al thousand men at sea ranges be-
yond the 'glutton's dreams. You
get the answer in the ship down
below the water line, where 1880
loves of bread have been baked
in one day, and where you STUN
bic over every variety, from co.
900 pounds of beef to 1872, 900
eggs, or compartment of brick
ice cream in a l0.degree-above-
zero vault.
And if this doesn't suit. YOU
can bump along into 40, 1874 pounds
of potatoes, 100 pounds of ham
and bacon, 1880 pounds of butter,
5000 pounds of sugar, and 81, 800
pounds of -four.
IF you can't get a meal out Of
this you can still fall back on A.
500 pounds of sausage. 3.400
pounds of sauerkraut, 10000
pounds Of apples, 10000 pounds
Of oranges, and 1920 pounds Of
onions. And this leaves out !, 500
pounds of jam and 9,40o pounds
of lima and navy beans.

Popularity OF voIIey R7II Among SOL

ball Fans.

What are the faYorite games wit
the soldiers in training camps in tn
southeastern division? The immediate
response would naturally be baseball
However, this is not correct, according
to the latest statistical report com
piled by r. c. CubbOn. Army Y. M. C
A physical director for the southeast
ern division, aided by the the 1875 phys
ical directors in the camps. Their fig
ures of the number of games playeC
and the number Of men participating
show that volley ball is the most pop
ular of all sports.
There was time when baseball was
the most popular sport in the camps
and in the month Of March it was
three times as popular as any other
game, but in the following month the
newly introduced game of volley ball
was taken by the soldiers with the
greatest of enthusiasm and the report
of the physical directors in the camps
Of the southeastern department show
that, commencing with the month OF
April, volley ball has easily held first
place as the most popular sport with
the soldiers.
This is very easily understood when
1t is explained that volley ball can be
played in very small space about
the size of tennis court The sol.
diers with little practice can become
quite expert in the game. Another fea.
ture is that all of the players on both
sides are playing the entire time, enc
bench warming) and the games do not
last nearly so long as baseball in fact
not much longer than the average
baseball inning. The only equipment
needed for this game is one ball and
one net.
Playground baseball is another game
that is making a great hit with the
soldiers and now ranks fourth in pop.
ularity. This game also can be play
ed in small space, the distances be.
tween bases being only thirty feet
In this game large, soft ball is used
and the pitcher is required to use the
,underhand throw All the skill of the
parent game of baseball is required
for playground ball and the playing
has all the thrills and tense moments
that is to be had in the national past.
time.
AS an entertainer boxing is very
much in the limelight in the camps
and like baseball has an immense fol
lowing Of devotees. Providing games
of entertainment is Of no small import
ance in the camps as it is shown in the
physical directors report that 905,375
spectators were in attendance at 143,,

participated in Y NJ c. A. games.

Russia has Jared we'll at the
hands of her allies from the be-
ginning of the war. When the
United States went into the war
Russia was given every encourage
ment that sympathy, sentiment
and kind words could convey, and
as tangible evidence that they were
genuine and sincere, we accompa-
nied those expressions with a good
many millions of dollars. Our
sympathy was wasted and our
money was squandered. Our
kindness was repaid by Russia's
getting out of the war. For all
we know the Russians stopped

credit that she did do some Gue
