ment that sounds like a sheet of boil CT plate, and, when it comes, they are off with a rush for the huge first cabin dining room. And it is not un- til they have satisfied their husky ep- petites that the officers and civilians are called to their breakfast in the smaller dining room which, before the liner became transport, was reserved for second-cabin passengers.
 This is British vessel, one of the largest in His Majesty's fleet of aux Hilary cruisers. Before the. war, 1t was described as a floating palace,' but the press agent of the line that operated it then wouldn't call it a Floating palace" now. It is a war ship, grimy utilitarian With the ex- ception of the handsome mural decora- tions of the salons, there is scarcley vestige of its former splendor and luxurious appointments.
 The great lounge is now an armory, filled with the stands for the troops rifles. The gymnasium is a storeroom for soldiers luggage. Only the first cabin smoking room remains as it was, and this is used as a club-room| for the officers. It boasts a phono- graph and piano, and here an occa- sional concert is given in the evening and every other afternoon a regimen tai band plays.
 The concerts are mostly or the i'm promptu, informal kind The enter tainers are enlisted men who seek to welcome the opportunity to display their talents before their officers.
 The regiments from which these mucisians are recruited is a striking example of the American melting pot. Its members are scions of a dozen or more nationalities, and all parts of the country, even our island pos sessions, are represented. New York talent is much in evidence, and there are several Indians and at least one Hawaiian. This islander has no uku- lele, but he takes a guitar and, using it as if it were zother, he gets the last sob out of the plaintive Aloha. ,"
 Some of the vocalists, although un- trained, have surprisingly good voices. Their choice of songs runs to the comic and the to sentimental The later are especially popular, and the soldier who sings a simple homelyI ballad with a child and a heart-throbI in it is a "sure-fire hit"
 When a man is going to war, his thoughts are with his loved ones back home, and hls emotions lie near the surface and are easily probed.

The scene is the deck of transport, warward bound about 10 a. m. of spring day
 "Is that what you call exercising?" demands the sergeant "You think you don't need any of this one-two- three stuff, eh? You are fit, already, maybe, to eat boche for breakfast" :"
 The company looks on and grins. Or d1narlly Sergeant S--, like the ma- jority of the efficient, hard-working sergeants of the American army. is man of few, precise words. But on rare occasions he finds it expedient to talk to" some erring private, and his ability in that line has won him fame througout his regiment. The tall soldier flushes and stam- l mers out an explanation. Bending over causes his nose, still sore from pumping against a door, to bleed.
 Fall out then," directs the sergeant. "You oughta said something before we started" Briskly he resumes the setting-up exercises and for half an hour the company is busily engaged Breezy and fresh is the morning. brilliant sun making rainbows in the spary from the transports bow and lending a sparkle to the dancing whitecaps. On all the decks khaki clad lads are twisting their bodies and working arms and legs to the measured count of their sergeants. All in a glow, filling their lungs with the sea ozone, they are picture of health and American pep"
 Keep 'em busy" is the watchword of the officer in military command of the vessel. He has several thousand eXuberant young soldiers to look af- ter and his experience on transports has taught him that ship life becomes wearisome for a large body of men closely quartered unless they have
 ular daily occupation. To meet this demand, he has worked out a program that supIies the required amount of wholesome work and that provides also for plenty of recreation and amusement
 Army hours are strictly observed. Reveille is sounded by the buglers at an hour that brings muffled pro tests from the few civilian passengers on board, the blasts penetrating to ev- cry corner of the ship. Sometimes later, after the civilians have roled over in their berths and are about to fall asleep again, there is a mighty tramping on decks and in the corri- dors, as the hungry soldiers pour from their quarters below, eager for break fast.
