bright green coat OF paint. A sand
lot surrounds the hut. and here the
boys with baseballs play catch always
before an interested II uncomprehend-

Besides Eagle hut there are now
two fine hostels for officers. Golden

American destrOyers racing along

as the greatest adventure on the

The navy wanted recruits. II
Dunno would enlist. naturally he
could come along
But If you enlist you so down be

was the warning he gave.
Dunno enlisted. and down below he
went But among those who follow
the sea there are few men who nave
ever taken any interest or ever care
to take any interest IN the art Of writ
ing. Even when the writing is naval

Dunno became the official clerk and

himself at a British base tied to

British officers and British official
documents. almost from the appear
ance OF the American dsstroyers IN
European waters, have given high
praise 10 the efficient work OF these
Watchdogs OF the sea.
Lord Pirrie made clear that
GermaHy's ruthless submarine
campaign has been far less cf-
fectlve than Germany ever
dreamed. because the salvage
work OF the British government
has returned scores OF the dam
aged and sunken vessels TO sew

IN recent months" lord PIERRE
said, "the number OF vessels saved
after suffering damage by torpedoes
and mines has increased This IS due
to an Improvement in the CrganiZa-
ton for salvage Instituted BY the ad-
miralty and TO devices adopted 20

isfactory feature OF the present stu

Lord Pirrie told OF the naval con-

The prime minister disclosed
the fact thar when the war be-

Like our own Edward y. Hurley,
chairman OF the United States ship
ping board and president OF the
emergency fleet corporation, and like
Charles N. Schwab, director general
OF the emergency fleet corporation,
lord Pirrie. set a precise hour for the

Lord Pirrie's conference was strict

and heavy set He is blue eyed and
with a pink skin typical Of man ap-
parently in the best OF health HIS
round face IS fringed with white

Praises Work
He met his small audience with the
frank explanation that his printed

class and high priced
The drain on the German eIchequer
could not be more strikingly shown
than in the photographs Of the two
German prisoners in the lower pic
lures OF the layout Their tattered
clothes and their apparent indiffer-
ence to their fate tell far more than
words the lowering OF the Ger
man morale and the general condi-
tons surrounding the German fighter

Glad TO Be Captured.
In striking contrast is the photo
graph OF the smiling Hun captured by
the British less than a year ago. No
s72 uniform adorns him. no expensive
steel helmet adorns his head But he
is happy. he has been made a captive
and IS glad Of it Many Of his cap
tured companions have admitted their
cause is hopeless: that they have been
receiving insufficient food; that they
have been driven into hopeless con-

away from it all.
As a conclusive finale to a most
convincing group OF five pictures IS
that Of the young German captured
only a few weeks ago Though OF
abnormal development. this youth ad-
mitted that he was not II years old.
that he had been driven like a dog by
his superior officers, and that he was
glao to be taken prisoner

The extreme youth OF this soldier
makes it undeniably apparent that the
man power Of Germany has been eN-
hausted 10 such an extent that the

7 ONDON, Ems. Sept. 2s.-Germany' s
Il undeniable loss in man power and
the telltale drain on the Hun ex-
chequer are most wildly shown in
recent photographs taken Of German
prisoners who have fallen into the
hands Of the British
There is no denying the fact that
when Fritz first advanced on the field
OF battle back in 1914 he was the best
equipped and most thoroughly pre-
pared soldier in the world. As is
shown in the accompanying photo
graph Of the Hun enjoying a quiet
smoke, the kaiser had outfitted his
men in the best that could be obtained.
Uniform Cost ST2.
This prisoner, who was captured In
one OF the first Of the 1914 enEa ge-
ments and who was a private, wore a
green gray uniform which cost the
German crown So TO manufacture he
wore the best and stoutest OF boots
