More than a Thousand Naval Boats

More than a Thousand Naval Boats.
 At the beginning of last year there were 300 naval vessels of all types in commission; now there are many more than thousand.' Ships that were on the stocks have been hurried to completion. Ships that were laid up in the navy yards because there were not men enough to man them have been refitted and manned and sent to sea. Scores of yachts and power boats have been taken over from private owners to be set at work searching for. submarines.

IndefatisabIs Student.

The French captain was charm ing man of about fifty years of age.- He had entered Lazaret VI when it was opened about the end of 1914. Since that time he had occupied the same room and had there recovered in solitude from his very serious wounds. He was an indefatigable worker and as soon as he was able commenced the study of French law in some books which he had ordered from Paris. For a year and half he lived almost alone and kept himself from going mad by very hard read- ing. In sheer desperation he had taken up the study of German with a sanitaire and even attempted Engiish by himself The, latter he. gave up until he conimehced again with Noodle. His habits were we'll defined. Every day at precisely the same hour he did the. same thing, whether it was the study of a certain language or a walk on II the balcony, By the middle of 1917 he was well enough to go to camp but he managed to stay on because he took his studies very seriously and thought that in hts | little room in the hospital ne would | have a better opportunity for reading l than in eafhp, where he would proba- ply be placed in a room with six or

The PRESIDENT
BETTERS HIS BEST
North American War Weekly.

| tNUTll AIltTlCdl war Wtohly J
No such Fourth of July address as
esssr tn srcu thhhh htthardd daa
that of President Wilson at Mount
Vernon ever has been or probably
ever again will be heard in the coun-
try's history. The time, the place.
the momentous attendant circum-
stances, might well have overwhelm-
ed even veteran and practiced
orator of less assured poise. The
rostrum was the tomb of George
Washington. The audience was the
entire world, and audience alert to
weigh and ponder and minutely
measure every lightest word that
might fall from the speakers lips.
And never did an American
spokesman for the American people
rise more superbly to a great oc-
casion than did the president in that
remarkable address. 1t was the
president at the very high-water
mark of the best that is in him.
1t easily surpasses anything that he
has done in the past and it makes
it hard to believe that even he can
suprass it by anything he may do in
the future. 1t simply was master
piece so near to being tlawless in
taste, in style and in virtue sub
stance that it would be graceless
and probably a bootless undertaking
to attempt to find a flaw in it. To
begin with, it was pitched in a tone
Of grave, serene dignity singularly
in harmony not only with the
solemn memories, but even with the
mere scenic appeals of the quietly
impressive landscape surroundings
themselves. The very hush and re-
pose of the broad sloping hillside,
the graceful winding river and the
dim hills in the distance beyond are
in the speakers opening sentence.
81 am happy to draw apart with
you to this quiet place of the old
counsel" began the president in
order to speak little of the mean
ing of this day of our nations in
dependence. The place seems very
still and remote. 1t is as serene and
untouched by the hurry of the
world as it was in those great days
long ago when General Washington
was here and held leisurely confer
ence with the men who we're to
assist him in the creation of ma
ton
Could anything be finer than this?
With our own limitations we confess
inability to imagine. Nor would we
know where to look for it's superior
in the records of American patriotic
literature. To appreciate 1t, perhaps,
one has but to fancy how easy, and,
indeed, how tempting it might have
been in a tension so acute, to have
struck more strident note at the
outset, and then, by contrast, to feel
how harsh and discordant such a
note in such surroundings would
have been.

MOTION PICTURES
ON TRANSPORTS

Equipping American transports
with motion picture machines and
operators, the Y. M. C. A. has solved
the problem of the leisure time of
the soldiers crossing the Atlantic
Ocean to France. The full Y. NJ. C.
A. program is carried out aboard
the transports with war work secre
taries serving the men, furnishing
them with writing paper and en-
velopes, staging entertainments ami
looking after their physical, moral
nu educational needs.
The Y. NJ. C. A. has 3,480,000
feet of film on the highseas. Ma
chimes aboard ship are going at the
same time on the upper deck, second
deck and perhaps inside for the
officers
What motion pictures mean to the
soldiers is shown by this incident
which happened on a transport
I bound for France:
A serial motion picture was being
shown. An alarm was given that a
U-boat had been sighted. I'M
mediately every man was on deck.
A torpedo was launched but missed.
The boys waited a few minutes and
then one of them turned to an
officer and asked, ''can we go below
now and finish the picture?"
Since March the Y. NJ. C. A. has
provided 10000 to $4,000 feet of
film to each boat. The crew and
soldiers enjoy them going over and
the wounded coming back. Only the
best films are used with Mary Pick
ford, Douglas Fairbanks, VIM. S.
Hart and Others as the stars.
Teaching French soldiers how to
play baseball is one of the tasks of
American Y. NJ C. A. war work
secretaries in France and it some
times leads to surprising incidents.
A Y. NJ. c. A. secretary was umpiring
and coaching two teams of poilus
playing playground ball. The batter
took healthy swing with his small
bat and smote the soft ball in a
screaming liner straight for the
pitcher. The latter protected his
face with his hands and the sphere
struck him soggily in the chest.
The pitchers expressive features
registered surprise and reproach
over this so unexpected assault.
AS for the batter, did he reach first?
He did not. He ran straight for
the pitcher, embraced him and
apologized for hitting him.
