The War Breaks.

After serving four years and three
months in the U. S. navy, l received
an honorable discharge on April IA,
1914. 1 held the rank of chief petty
officer, first-class gunner. 1t is not
uncommon for garbies to lie around a
while between enlistments-they like
a vacation as much as anyone-and it
was my intention to loaf for a few
months before Joining the navy again.
After the war started, of course, l
had heard more or less about the Ger
man atrocities in Belgium, and while
| was greatly interested, | was doubt
full at first as to the truth of the re-
ports, for l knew how news gets
changed in passing from mouth to
mouth, and / never was much of a
hand to believe things until 1 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
vleux, is wen known in Alsace. | had
often visited my grandmother in st.
Nazaire, France, and knew the coun-
try. So with France at war, it was
not strange that l should be even
more interested than many other
garbies.
AS l have said, 1 did not take much
stock in the first rep@ts of the Huns
exhibition of kultur, because Fritz is
known as a clean sailor, and | figured
that no real sailor would ever get
mixed up in such dirty work as they
said there was in Belgium. l figured
the soldiers were like the sailors. But
l found out / was wrong about both.
One thing that opened my eyes a
hit was the trouble my mother had in
getting out Of Hanover, where she
was when the war started, and back
to France. She always wore a little
American flag and this both saved and

So l planted him one in the kidneys
and another in the mouth, and he went
clean up against the rail. But he
came back at me strong, and we were
at 1t for some time.
But when it was over the gold stripe
came down from the bridge and shook
hands with mel
After this they did not haze me
much. This was the beginning Of a
certain reputation that I had in the
navy for fist-work. Later on / had a
reputation for swimming, too. That
first day they began calling me
"Chink," though l don't know why,
and it has been my nickname In the
navy ever since.
1t Is a curious thing, and / eve
could understand 1t, but garbies and
marines never mix. The marines are
good men and great fighters, aboard
and ashore, but we garbies eve 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 u 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 it
is over they are on their way at once
and we on ours.
There are lots Of things like that
in the navy that you cannot figure out
the reason for, and l think it 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.
l kept strictly on the job as a fire
man, but l wanted to get into the gun
turrets. 1t was slow work for a long
time. / had to serve as second-class
fireman for four mouths, frst-class
for eight months and in the engine
room as water-tender for a year.
Then. after serving on the q. S. S.
Des Moines Is a gun-loader, / was
transferred to the Iowa and finally
worked up to a gun-pointer. After a
time l got my G. p. o. ~rating-chlet
petty officer. frst-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
wegians and Danes; they r born
sailors and are very daring, but, of
course, their navies are small. The
Germans were always known as clean
sailors; that is, as in our navy and
the British, their vessels were ship
shape all the time, and were run as
sweet as a clock.
There is no use comparing the vari-
III navies as to which is best; some
are better at one thing and some at
another. The British navy, of course,
is the largest, and nobody will deny
that at most things they are topnotch
least of all themselves; they admit
1t. But there is one place where the
navy of the United States has it all
over every other navy on the seven
seas, and that is gunnery. The Amer
lean navy has the best gunners in
the world. And do not let anybody
tell you different.

and some OF them picked up more
change there thar they ever did in
Germany, they told me. The musi-
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.

Nine. Kollantay tried to get to Sweden
through Finland. but Finnish white
guards turned the party back. Going
to Helsingfors. the party embarked on
a small ship conveyed by a Russian
warship. The commander of the war
ship was not a sympathizer with the
crusade and led the other ship into a
mine field, where he abandoned it.
Nine. koilantay and her party found
refuge on ice foes which drifted
ashore on the Aland Islands. Here

threat was made that all Swedes in
Russia would be arrested in retalia-
ton.
Although Nine. Kollantay resigned
from the cabinet because she was OPP

shevik party and is now organizing
crusades for guerrilla warfare and the
spread of socialistic doctrine.
Because of her treatment on the
Aland Islands the boishevik govern
ment has decided to deny to Sweden
