London, Jan. 13.--One British naval
officer showed German naval CAP
tain how to handle his undisciplined
sailors during the surrender Of the
German warships to the Allied fleet off
the Firth of Forth.
It is related that when the British
officer boarded German battleship tc
make the official examination. he
found numbers Of German sailors
lolling about in the captains lobby
and some of them making themselves
very much at home in the captains
cabin. Many were wearing armlets
inscribed "Soldaten und Arbeiter," in
dicating their allegiance to the SOL
diers' and Workers Councils which
brought about the revolution.
"You will need no explanation, sir,
for my presence here" said the Ger
man captain approaching the English
man. "You see how things are"
"You will please converse with me
in your own language" replied the
British officer, returning the salute.
"You will also order these men out
Of these quarters before we do any
thing else."

Every man sprang to his feet c.

TRADITIONS OF THE
SAILORS UNIFORM

Many old customs and traditions
have left their trace on hte uniform
Of American sailors of the present
day. The wide. fiaring trousers sug-
gest waste of material when seen or
city street, but they are really the
most practical shape for duty on ship
board. Because of the loosenees they
may be rolled up snugly to the knees
when the sailor is holystoning the
decks, and the fare also prevents
them from binding at the knee when
the blue jacket is required to 60
ashore. Another important advantage
of the looseness is that, combined
with the arrangement of the buttons
on the side, the trousers may be cas-.
lily slipped off in the water.
The thirteen buttons across The top
OF the trousers are supposed to rep
resent the thirteen original States.
The black tie. prescribed by regu-
lation for American bluejackets. was
handed down from the British navy.
It was worn by the sailors of this fleet
in memory of Nelson after the death
Of the great naval hero. Similarly
the three white stripes bordering the
collar commemorate three great VIC
tories won by Nelson.
The bit Of white undershirt show
ing at the neck is associated with the
famous American admiral. Farragut,
After his death the sail in which his
body was lowered to the water was
divided among the sailors, with the
request that the pieces be worn across
their chests. This established the
