CHAPTER II.
The War Breaks.

After serving four years and three
months In the o. 8. navy, I received
an honorable, discharge on April IA.
1914. I held the rank Of chief petty
officer. frst-class gunner. It is not
uncommon for garbies to lie around a
while between enlistments-they like
a vacation as much as anyone-and 1t
was my intention to loaf for a few
months before joining the navy again.
After the war started, Of course. I
had heard more or less about the Ger.
man atrocities in Belgium, and while
I was greatly interested, I was doubt
full at first as to the truth of the re-
ports, for I knew how news gets
changed in passing from mouth to
mouth, and I never was much Of q
hand to believe things until I saw
them, anyway. Another thing that
caused me to be interested In the war
was the fact that my mother was born
in Alsace. Her maiden name, DER
vieux, is well known In Alsace. I had
often visited my grandmother in st.
Nazaire, France, and knew the coun-
try. So with France at war, it was
not strange that / should be even
more interested than many other
garbies.
AS I have said, I did not take much
stock In the first reports of the Huns
exhibition Of kultur, because Fritz Is
known as a clean sailor, and I figured
that no real sailor would ever get

the same rations and equipment as the
regular French army before 1t went to
the front. Their food consisted Of
bread. soup, and vino, as wine Is called
almost everywhere in the world. In
the morning they received half a loaf
Of Vienna bread and coffee. At noon
they each had a large dixie Of thick
soup, and at three In the afternoon
more bread and a bottle Of vino. The
soup was more like a stew-very
thick with meat and vegetables. At
one Of the officers barracks there was
a cook who had been chef in the larg-
est hotel in Paris before the war.
All the prisoners GER well clothed.
Once a wonk. sockR underwear, soap.
towels and blankets YER issued to
them, and every week the barracks
and equipment were fumigated. They
were given the best of medical atten.
ton.
Besides all this, they were allowed
to work at their trades, II they had
any. All the carpenters, cobblers,
tai.ors and painters were kept busy.
and some Of them picked up more
change there than they ever did In
Germany, they told me. The musl-
clans formed bands and played almost
every night at restaurants and thea
ters in the town. Those who had no
trade were allowed to work on the
roads. parks, docks and at residences
about the town.
Talk about dear old jail You could
not have driven the average prisoner
away from there with a 14inch gun.
I used to think about them In Bran.
denburg, when boys were rushing
the sentries in the hope Of being bay
onetted out Of their misery.
While our cargo was being unloaded
I spent most Of my time with my
grandmother. / had heard still mor
about the cruelty Of the Huns, and
made up my mind to get into the ser
vice. Murray and Brown had already
enlisted in the Foreign Legion. Brown
being assigned to the infantry and
Murray to the French man-of-war Cas-
sard. But when I spoke Of my inten-
ton, my grandmother cried so much
that I promised her I would not enlist
that time, anyway-and made the
return voyage in the Virginian. We
were no sooner loaded In Boston than
back to st. Nazaire we went.

Something to "Greet" About,


Persons casting about for something

came down from the bridge and shook
hands with mel
After this they did not haze me
much. This was the beginning Of q
certain reputation that I had In the
navy for fst-work. Later on I had q
reputation for swimming. too. That
first day they began calling me
"Chink." though / don't know why,
and it has been my nickname In the
navy ever since.
It Is q curious thing, and I never
could understand 1t, but garbies and
marines never mix. The marines are
good men and great fighters, aboard
and ashore, but We garbies never have
a word for them, nor they for us. On
shore leave abroad we pal up with
foreign garbies, even. but hardly ever
with a marine. OF course they are
with US strong in case we have a scrap
with a liberty party Off some foreign
ship-they cannot keep out Of a fight
any more than we can-but after 1t
is over they r on their way at once
and we or ours.
There are lots Of things like that
in the navy that you cannot figure out
the reason for, and I think 1t is be-
cause sailors change their ways so
little. They do a great many things
In the navy because the navy always
has done them.
I kept strictly on the Job as a fire.

turrets. 1t was slow work for q long
time. I had to serve as second-class
fireman for four mouths, first-class
for eight months and in the engine
room as water-tender for q year.
Then, after serving on the q. 8. S.
Des Moines as a %gun.loader, I was
transferred to the Iowa and finally
worked up to a gun-polnter. After a
time I got my G. P. o. rating-chief
petty officer. hrst-class gunner.
The various navies differ In many
ways, but most Of the differences
would not be noticed by any one but
a sailor. Every sailor has a great deal
Of respect for the Swedes and Nor.

To be possessed of q head Of heavy

a matter Of using a little Danderine.

stores recommend it-apply n little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance Of abundance,
freshness, flufliness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find Il trace Of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fne and

-Danderine Is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer Of dam

never fails to stop falling hair at once.
II you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really Is, moisten a. cloth
with n little Danderine and carefully
draw 1t through your halr-taklng one
small strand at a time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful IN just
a few moments-a delightful surprise

FOREWORD.

"Gunner DepeW" is not a
work of fiction, but it is
more thrilling than any fic-
ton you ever read. It is the
true story Of the expert
ences of an American boy
who had a fighting career
that is unique in the annals
Of the great war. It is a
story crowded with fighting
and adventure - big with
human courage and endur-
ance. It is the first war mar.
rative that tells the true
story of conditions in the
German prison camps. It
is a story that every Ameri.
can should and will read to
the end.

INCREASED PRODUCTION cr SODA

Most of our soda is produced from salt a.i-.
limestone. The term soda, as commonly used,
means sodium carbonate in the form of soda ash,
dunn hydroxde, or caustic soda, as it is general
ly called The total production of soda ash in the
United States in 1917, according to statistics
compiled by r. C. Wells, of the United States
Geological Survey Department of the Interior,
amounted to 2,023,841 short tons, compared
with 1,733,516 tons in 1916.
Only small fraction of this soda ash was pro-
duced from natural sodium carbonate, the rem
ainder having been made by the Solvay process
from salt and limestone. A large part of this
soda ash was Immediately transformed by the
producers into caustic soda-444, 848 tons in 1917
was actually marketed-1,5 78, 1899 tons of soda
ash in 1917 and 1,324,2O8 tons in 1916, valued at
$38,374199 and $1s,2s3,866, respectively.
The sales in 1917 amounted to about % pounds
for each person in the country. The soda ash
was used in making glass, soap, dyestuffs, and
explosives. as well washing soda and other So
dunn salts, and small quantity was exported.
The war has stimulated the chemical industry
in the United States to produce materials that
were formerly imported and to supply them to
foreign countries, as well as to devise new uses
for chemical products, and to replace more ex-

formerly monopolized by the chemists of that
country.

growers and they are prepared to profit by
it while helping the government in a material
way.
Pork can be aroduced here more cheaply than
anywhere else in America. This fact has been
stressed by government experts for long time
and they have urged production a more ex-
tensive scale.
The industry has been retarded in this country
because of difficulty in finding a profitable
market during the development period.
The farmer with two or three good sized hogs
might dispose of them in Pensacola, but the man
with ten could not sell them locally, did he
have enough for profitable rail shipment. This
unfortunate condition can be remedied through
making cooperative shipments in car lots and it
seems reasonably certain that every hog grown
in Escambia county this year will bring highly
satisfactory return to the producer.
Pork ranks among the most important of the
Victory Crops urged by President Wilson and
farmers of this section gladly responding to
the appeal for food products which will aid in
the winning of the war.

PATRIOTIC WOMEN

In this great up-heava1 of war, the
health as well as the safety of the
country is put at hazard. The people,
being pre-occupied with the war,
thinking but little else, are liable to
overlook some lines that are normally
taken for the welfare of the public and
for the prevention of the commune
able disease. Many who properly pro-
tected their water supplies last yeA'
may neglect them now, and some who
safe-gaarded their privies last sum-
mer may forget them now. This short
sightedness might prove disastrous.
especially when every one is called
upon to keep himself at maximum eff
ficiency in order that each may do his
full duty in this world war.
1t is almost as essential to use all
precautions in keeping rhe great in
dustrial army at home in good health
as it is the great military army at the
front and in environments. Suppose
this indifferent attitude should pre-
vail this summer and an epidemic
should assume alarming conditions.
The result? A loss OF time from labor

70 MAKE A PICTURE HISTORY OF THE
WAR

The United States government is determined
to have an authentic pictorial history of the war
and will compile it through specially trained
photographers in army signal corps. A large
number of men will be required for the work and
about sixty lieutenants and the same number of
sergeants are to be selected at once.
The successful newspaper photographer re-
presents most nearly the type of man needed
that is to say, he must have nose for news
in addition to being able properly to set and ex-
pose his camera. A military photographer must
possess a generous amount of initiative and
originality, for he will have to act as his own
boss, his own director, and dig up the type of
picture that really tells the story.
Pictures, more than written words, will be
depended upon to preserve the record of the
great world struggle and with the wonderful de-
velopment in aircraft during the war it is pos
sible to compile history that will be indisput-
able.
