HIDE AND SEEK
 PLAYED AT NIGHT

London, Aug. 6.-tThe moth and the flame is a little game of hide and seek which is played over Lon don at night now and then, the moth being an aviator of the citys defense forces and the flame a searchlight de- signed to dazzle the German Gothas when they come in droves to bonn bard the metropolis.
 These ''rehearsals' take place at in- tervals, the director of searchlights be- ing notified in advance that an allied machine is to ascend, but neither the time nor the locality are given. Then the game of the flame is to find the moth, and keep the rays of the search light fastened upon the flying machine To Londoners, the airplaneI appears like a great moth, or a white speck in the sky, and the searchlight's ray reminds one, of great white ribbon extending from the earth to the air plane and beyond. -s. 1 And the moth dives and darts and flutters about and some times manages
 to dodge the flame, but not for long. Down below Londoners are craping their necks and enjoying the game to the fullest extent.

PORT FACILITIES
 ALONG SEABOARDS 1. TO BE EXP ANDED

Washington, Aug. 6.---Port and har- Dor facilities along the Atlantic, the Gulf and the Pacific must be expand ed two or three fold to provide for the maximum service of the Ameri- can merchant marine, now in the making, when once it is released from war traffic. Immediate expansion is necessary at many ports so that coal for New England war industries can be moved by water.
 These facts have been establihsed in the preliminary study of port condi- tions made by the recently created Port and Harbors Facilities Commits sion of the Shipping Board, headed by Edward F. Carry. Present facilities are shown to be inadequate, and in time new ports may be created.
 New York and Boston harbo~s have been examined by the commits sion, and similar investigation at all the larger ports of the country will be made soon by MT. Carry and ex- perts attached to the commission. They plan to make visits soon to the rapidly growing ports of the South Inspection tours also will be made to obtain information on proposed new Ttorts.
 The first complete inventory of port facilities in the United States is now being made under the direction of MT Carry. Authorities at all ports used by ocean-going traffic have been re- quested to supply data covering the last five years regarding docks, ma rine railways, terminal arrangements, repail plants and entrances and clear ances in domestic and foreign trade i Every dock and repair plant has been called on to answer a questiannaire regarding the type of it's facilities, present condition. exact location, whether this location is advantageous for he most efficient handling of ships, the terms, rates and conditions on which ships are docked. the num-
 Der of ships docked in the last five years, the average period each ship was in dock. and a brief statement of the work done on it. Special informa-
 ton also is sought regarding ports
 where coal and oii are handled.
 The coastwise trade in coal and oi
 is perhaps the most important that
 has been handicapped by inadequate
 facilities. At. present, this trade is
 limited only by shipping and port fa-
 clhtles. The survey shows these ports taxed to capacity at present, and in
 many instances overtaXed, and in al.
 most all instances facing serious con-
 gestlon unless speedily expanded.
 ! Ne" York harbor particularly i: : iovertaxed, and some Southern ports especially Galveston, New Orleans IacksonVllle, and Charleston. need ex
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-08-06

pansion. All Southern ports, it is ex- pected, will be enlarged because signs of congestion are already in sight. This condition results from heavy traffic be- ing diverted by railroads from over land routes north to southern ports either for shipment north or to the West Indies and South America.
 The Commission, besides its plans for port expansion, will consider the diversion of Imports and exports from northern to southern ports, particu- larly shipments to and from the Mid dle West, which now add to the trou- bles of congested railways along the North Atlantic seaboard and in Penn sylvania and Ohio. Relief is plan ned by transit through Southern ports to railways and waterways.
 Trade with South American coun- tries, which has increased enormously during the war, will be considered by the commission in relation to the ports of the South. The diversion of this trade, as also that of the Middle West, is regarded as demanding vast in crease of water front facilities there.
 Enlargement of Pacific ports is re- garded necessary with the expansion of trade with the Orient.

DANIELS DROPS
Is Navy CLERKS
Of DRAFT ACE
81 Are Exempted as Need
ed for Technical Work in
Navy.

WASHINGTON. D. c., June 21,-
Secretary of the Navy Daniels notified
the house today that he had asked to
have exemption for forty-six clerks of
draft age employed in the navy de-
partment withdrawn.
Secretary Daniels communicated
this decision in report responding to
the Madden resolution calling for the
heads Of all departments to report the
number OF men of military age in
their employ who have been exempted
from military service.
The report showed that 408 en-
ployes OF the navy department of
draft age originally were exempted at
Secretary Daniels request OF these
eleven have since enlisted in tn navy
or the marine corps. With forty.six
clerks restored to the draft service
lists there will be 351 employees who
will be retained by the navy depart
ment because, the secretary says, they
are technical men whose services to
the department Is just as important
as the service Of technical men in the
shipyards or navy yards.
The requests for the exemption Of
the forty-six clerical employees" Sec
rotary Daniels said in his report, "were
made In December, 1917, at which time
during the great expansion then TAX
ing place 1t was imperative that the
working force should not be disrupt
ed. All of the men on this list have
been and still are of the greatest i'm
portance in carrying on the work of
the navy department.
Nevertheless. I have felt, in order
to carry out the spirit of the draft
regulations, l should not retain them
any longer on the deferred classified
ton list, even though in so doing it
is going to be extremely difficult to
replace them"
OF the 351 employees still exempted
from service all are classified as ex-
pert craftsmen of various kinds, aero
nautic mechanical engineers, chemists,
laboratory men, structural steel ex-
perts, ship designers, electricians, and
electrical engineers. inspectors, and
other technical craftsmen.
Among the navy department men
from the middle west on the exemp-
ton list are:
c. G. Wylie, Marissa, Ill; c. B.
Watts, Bloomington, Ind. and William
A. Conrad, New Albany, Ind. all listed
as chronometer and watch caretakers
for the navy. employed in the time
