| own decent standards just as any
other traveller expects to be able to do.
The future OF America upon the sea
is going to depend much upon the
accommodations that its men OF the
merchant marine find both In home
ports and foreign ports; and II is en-
tirely within our power to make
certain that they shall have these
facilities within our own domains. The
measure OF this potential helpfulness
can be readily grasped IL we sketch in
general way some of the outstanding
features OF the services rendered by
the Seamen's Church Institute of New
York during the year just gone.
Facilities of the Institute.
BY curtailing some of its recrea-
tional features, the Institute has to-
day sleeping accommodations for 7f2
guests In its 430 single rooms and its
dormitories. During 1918 II furnished
lodgings for 21e,s72 seafarers, and of
these patrons 1880 were Americans
Large as the building is II quite fails
to meet the demands, and nightly hun
dreds Of applicants have had to be
turned away. In the same twelve
months 503,720 meals we're served. not
to mention 343,151 sales at the soda
fountain. 1t can be easily grasped
why the Institute has TO have two
great holds" or compartments down
below tide level devoted to the stow
age OF baggage, when 1t is realized
that 5l,679 pieces of dunnage were
checked there in the year gone.
The tailor shop. where a man can
have his clothes repaired. cleaned and
pressed, or obtain a complete new out
tit or either nautical garb or "cits",
made $3.50 sales In 1918, while the
laundry record totalled a matter of
$3.50 transactions.
Every one knows what il means to
set letters when away from home
there is no need to lay stress upon the
sentimental and moral effects OF those
ties with the distant loved ones and
friends; and this department OF the
institute received mail for 60,229 mar
iners. Not only that, but the institute
gave every facility and offered every
encouragement to the guests to write
home and In great number OF in
stances made 1t It's business TO get in

While on his trip, DIR. Mansfield Wis
tied the Seamen's Church Institute of
San Francisco, which was inspired by
the New York establishment and
which is headed by an erstwhile as
sistant superintendent of the New
York institution. DIR. Mansfield was
accompanied upon his long journey by
the Rev. George W. Davenport. the
executive secretary Of the Seamen's
Church Institute of America. which
was organized for national service a
little over two years ago. Mr.. Davcn-
port says that one of the outstanding
impressions of the survey was the
great number of Americans who have
lately taken to the sea as a vocation.
More than that, he had It borne home
upon him that the Americans in all OF
the nautical ratings were decidedly SD

limitations OF domestic trade, and this,
in turn, has not been of scope enough
to keep alive the erstwhile love for
sea life. We have thousands of sturdy
mariners that have been forced by
circumstances to sign on coasting
schooners and to work aboard tug
boats, sound steamers and other
sheltered water craft that heartily
wished for a decent chance aboard an
ocean going ship flying the American

Lure of the Sea IL Felt Again.
AZ has been said. This state OF az
fairs has created a demand not 80
much for men with weak brains and
strong backs at a low wage, but
rather for trained brains at good
wages. with the ability to cooperate at
every stage OF the oceangoing game
We have been passing through a crisis
and for a while things did not look
compromising Of the matter of an
ample native born personnel for the
vessels that our shipyards have been
turning out with feverish haste. To-
day the prospect is extremely encour-
aging. Henceforth the red blooded of
our people will meet in the main our
needs upon the water, for they have
been aroused anew to the lure,of the
open ocean as were their forebears in
the days when the Stars and Stripes
were seen everywhere upon the seven
seas.
The war has worked wonders for our
mercantile marine, and the stresses Of
service during the period OF the
U-boat's grewsome activities have done
a wedding out work by eliminating the
weakling, while character building
among the men that have survived and
who are keen to stick from now on to
the bridge. the deck and the engine
room OF the freighters which are to
carry the bulk of our exports afar and
to bring back most OF those foreign
commodities which we deem essential
to our domestic comfort and well being.
Any one that may have doubted that
Americans would come forward, once
II was established that we were to
have an array of vessels for foreign
commerce. can now be convinced to
the contrary. Not only are our officers
and seamen being mustered from the
shipping Of the great lakes but also
from men who heretofore have been
wellnigh entirely engaged in coastal
trafflo OF one kind or another.
Further. the navy is playing q con-
spicuous part in supplying recruits for

liners. With the cessation of HOSTILE

reserve force. and from among these
