numerous bruises ON my body, and
touching gingerly the dried blood
caked on my face. No very serious
damage seemed to have been done, al
though every muscle and tendon APP
peared to be strained and lacerated.
Clinching my teeth to keep back a
groan, l succeeded in sitting upright,
my head touching the upper deck, as

ugly-looking brute, the lower portion
of his face apelike and the wool grow

an inch of forehead. His eyes lifted
an instant from the pinnacle card to
glance at me curiously. They exhib-
tied no fash of recognition.
For half an hour Estada hung about
aft, apparently paying no attention to
me, and yet watching my movements
closely. There was little to be done,
but thought it best to keep the watch

of the governor to act -in the Beach

Chief Boatswains Mate T. Anderson,
in charge of the navy recruiting office

who has served for some fifteen years
in the regular navy and was overseas
for nearly W years during the war,
spoke this afternoon regarding the
fine opportunities and schools offered
in the navy for young men of skill.
In speaking of the training, Chief
Anderson said in part:
"Battleships are primarily a COM
pick piece of machinery, and employ
a number Of skilled men in various
trades. AS ships must be maintained
in a constant state of operating eff
cheney, and as their machinery, the
hull and fittings must be kept in fine
order, n great number of skilled men
are used. This duty falls to the arti-
1cers. and much of the magnificent
showing made by the Navy during the
War may he attributed to the excel
lent work done by such men.
"As the work that these men are
called Upon to perform is of a special
nature, as compared to similar work
in civil life. it is necessary to train
these men especially for the Navy.
Such a school has been established at
the navy yard, Mare Island, Califor-
mia. i.Hf It,
The course is for six months in
tensive training. Upon completion the
men are examined by officers of the

MAY SEEK FEDERAL
AID in RELIEVING
SUGAR SHORTAGE

Plans have been discussed by retail
grocers and consumers to relieve the
threatening sugar shortage in this
community, and it is believed that an
appeal might be sent to Washington
through the Grand; Forks CONNER
cial club for some aid in the matter
of preventing the shortage.
1t was suggested yesterday that the
attention of the sugar administration
bureau, in existence at the national
capital at Washington, be brought to
the situation, which seems to be more
acute here than elsewhere. Informa-
ton that Representative Dallinger
yesterday introduced in the house a
bill providing for an embargo on ex-
port sugar shipments to foreign
countries for aJperiod Of six months
was interpreted as an indication that
congress was awake to the Serious
ness of the existing conditions.
