wrapped in gloom, and groan be-
cause they may get damp while

soldier has to fight outdoors,
however hard the water pours !;
he cannot sit beside the fire and
make a brutal foe expire; he can
not bear a parasol to shield him
from the waterfall. The soldier
stays outdoors to fight, the
weary day, the bitter night : he
hears his comrades dying
groans, the cold is crawling
through his bones. Methinks
that when the boys come back
from streaming trench ard mid

MAKES VIGOROUS PLEA
FOR MERCHANT SEAMEN
George F. Stuart Believes U. S. I'm
appreciative Of Part They Have
Played in the War. ,

Has America appreciated her mer-
chant seamen and their service in the
great war for the freedom Of the
world?
George F. Stuart, who has served
fifteen years in the United States
Navy, eleven years continuously,
thinks not. and just before leaving
for Baltimore, where he will sail on
a British ship bound for South Africa,
never to return to America, he stopped
in The Star office to make plea for
justice for the comrades he leaves be-
,hind.
I'm the United States Navy" he said.
"a man never wants for anything,
either at home or abroad. But when
the merchant seaman shipped for the
war zone during the war the govern
ment allowed him so per cent bonus
and a life insurance of $500, which
is not of much consequence to a man
like me. who has neither chick nor
child in the world. If the sub didn't
get you" he continued. "the govern
ment made the companA pay you 500
for your personal effects when the
ship sank. On my last voyage on the
Argonaut. formerly Ham burg-Amer-
ican liner. which was sunk June S,
everything QaQ IN the WOrlQ was
with me. 1t was worth at a fair cal
culation $500. I received $780,"

He carries his official appointment

tached an official statement from the
United States Navy Department show
ing he has served on the United States
ships. the Lancaster, the Denver and
the Callao. He is a native of Sharps-
vile. Mercer county, Pa, and is
bound for South Africa, for service
in the British merchant marine here
after, because, he says, Britain looks
after her merchant sailors and has
even given them a credit badge for
lea lets her men go unnoticed.
'And yet" he said. 1--WE were a
part of her silent navy and with
out our loyal help the United States
could not have gotten her men and
mountain of. supplies across the
Atlantic in time to turn the tide
against the Hun. Were we just hire
