cHEcKERs WORK OVERTIME

Coblenz, Germany-The checker
and chess market in Coblenz is as
clean as a bleached bone. You can
not, in shop in Coblenz today, buy
or steal a checkerboard and check
ers or game of chess. Blame it on
the doughboy. Two thousand sol
diers come into Coblenz daily on
leave and as soon as they land they
get the chess and checker fever, so
that at any hour of the day, between
10 in the morning and $3.50 at night,
every available checkerboard is in
use in the Fest Halle, the municipal
theater, which was taken over by the
Y. M. C. A. as a club for the soldiers
in CoblenZ.

"A quarter Of a million, were cas-. dis
tin,t"eil ii favor Of revolutionary

The most obvious fact or the c,vc-
ton IS the affectionate regard which the
British have for their own country, for
their own navy ana for the achieve
ments Of these two forces

WASHINGTON. Jan. Gum mounts on
all American merchant ships under the
jurisdiction of the Shipping Board are
being dismantled. AZ each vessel arr
rives al home port platforms and guns
are torn out to make way for freight
equipment and gun crews are being re-
leased, going back to duty on naval veg
sells All gun crews were navy men.
Gun emplacements will be dissembled
and stored for future emergency or
strapped, according to the dictates OF
the Navy Department after inspection
of their condition.
The Shipping Board is returning the
crews on its vessels to the kind Of quar-
ters they were accustomed to occupy be-
fore the war. although the "forecastle'
Is now toward the stern instead of at
the bow OF the ship. Danger from
mines prompted the change originally,
and the arrangement was found so salts
factory that 1t will be retained.
With proper berth space again avail
able the shipping Board plans to use
merchant ships in broad programme
for training additional personnel re-
quired for new vessels.
Spare room now being vacated by gun
crews and elsewhere will he set aside by
the Shipping Board for the aocommoda
ton of apprentices and for four Junior
deck officers and four Junior engineer
officers. The latter will be carried in
addition to the usual officers on the ship
foe purposes OF special training, follow
ing technical instruction ashore at the
Boards free engineer and navigation
schools. 1t is expected the new arrange
ment will absorb a present surplus o'
Junior officers that has resulted from
the work of these schools which have
graduated 6.799 navigating officers ant
engineers since this country entered tho
war
