S. 'Wanderer, as executive officer.
We were part of the coastal convoy
on the French coast between Brest
and Bordeaux and although we were
there about three months, and had
over 900 ships in the convoy, we did
not have one sinking"
Found Women Stowaways.
Ensign Mas was in Brest at the
time the survivors of the Montanon
were brought there. Among them
were two women, reputed to be
wives of army officers stationed
Somewhere in France"
NThese women" said Ensign
Mas. had slowed away on the
Montanon and it was said they
were not seen by any of the officers
of the ship, until it had been tor
pedoed and was sinking. When they
came on deck the captain could
hardly believe his eyes. The women
were loaded in lifeboats and taken
to Brest. They were quite curios-
ity, dressed in white sailor blouses,
blue dungeralls, and watch caps. The
French women gave them civilian
clothing, and they were sent back
to the United States"
Ensign Mas returned to the Uni
ted States the latter part of Septem-
Der, and reported to the Philadelphia
navy yard, where he has been sta
toned until he came to Omaha.
In regard to the young rhen who
are manning the fleets of today, En-
sign Mass said: Il have had the
chance to become closely acquainted
with the enrolment and enlistment
of men Of numerous branches of the
service, and to have served upon all
classes of ships from the old-time
square ones to the Texas, have been
acquainted with the old-time sailor
man, who in my opinion would
not compete with the clean cut man
ly chap that the navy wants now.
Make Better Sailors.
"Ail through the entire west, I
have for many months realized that
the men from the middle west and
southern states, are excellent ma
terial and develop into better sail
ors in much shorter time than the
men from the big eastern cities. The
navy, which now has an authorized
enlisted strength of $4,000, will
have TO be increased to nearly ESQ.,
600 when the new ships, now author
lied, are ready for their cruise.
Never before in the history of our
naval service has there been such
opportunities for education, travel
and advancement as is offered now.
The navy is not place for the 'ne'er
do well' but for good, honest, clean
cut men and to those enlisting now,
there is assured plenty of work and

Ensign Charles E. Mas. who will
succeed Ensign Fred G. Condict Is
recruiting officer in the navy re-
cruiting Office here, yesterday told of
his experiences in the war zone. En-
sign Mas was out to sea from Sep
TENDER /, 1917, until the latter part
of September 1918. He was first
assigned to the u. S. S. Mccall, but
later transferred to the y. S. S.
i exas.
THE Texas set sail from New
York early in January 1917, for
Scataflow," said Ensign Mas.
"Scataflow is a large body Of water
between the Courtney islands and
the northern coast of Scotland, and
was the harboring place of the Brit
ish grand fleet, which is commanded
by Admiral Sir David Beatty of the
royal navy. Admiral Beatty's wife
is daughter of the late Marshal
Field of Chicago.
Meet Other u. S. Ships.
when we steamed into Scata-
flow, we found the U. S. S. New
York, Wyoming, Florida and Dele
ware anchored there, and these ships
with the Texas formed the sixth
patrol squadron of the British grand
fleet. About three days after our ar
rival the entire grand fleet COM
posed of about 200 ships, including
battle ships, battle cruisers, light
cruisers and torpedo boats, received
orders TO get under way at 3 a. m. as
it was rumored that the German
high seas fleet had left their rotunda
in Helgoland. Our entire feet
then moved into the North sea.
Although I have had 10 years
sea service, in nearly every ocean
on the globe" Ensign Mas said, Il
never encountered nasty weather as
we Immediately ran into on enter
ing the North sea. We steamed in
the direction Of HeigoIand until we
were within about fifty miles of thu
German base, and having encoun-
tered nothing returned to Scata-
flow.
"About 1880 m. man from the
u. S. S. New York. which was lead
ing the sixth battle squadron, was
washed overheard. Owing to the
standing war order that no ship was
to stop to pick UP men who had
fallen overheard, we had to pass by
him. Signals were given for the
destroyers to save him.
Light German U-Boat.
"About II 80 sharp the Delaware
hoisted a red flag, which meant that
submarine had been sighted. Our.
aircraft guns opened fire on what
was taken to be a periscope about
800 yards distant. OF course the
battleships could not stop, but the
screen, Of destroyers quickly assem-
bled, and depth charges were drop
ped. No more was seen of the sub
marine.
ION July H." said Ensign Mas,
Il was ordered to report to Vice
Admiral Wilson, u. S. NJ, at Brest,
France. / had ten days leave in
London and four in Paris. / have
always been greatly impressed with
the friendliness of the English peo-
pie toward our country, and the peo-
pie there do all they can for the
men in the army and navy.

REALTORS LAY
PLANS BEFORE
LEGISLATURE
Have Worked Out conprehen-
Siye Program in COniunC-
ton With Water Board
and City Council.

A comprehensive legislative pro-
gram which the Real Estate board
has worked out in conjunction with
the water board and city council, will
be presented to the Nebraska leg
isiature this week.
Members OF the Real Estate board
expect the program to 60 through
i'll its entirety because Of the unanim-
ity OF backing it has in Omaha.
The realtors interests in the leg
islature will be looked after by Sem
ators Saunders and Robbins, mem
befs Of the Real Estate board.
Cut Water Boards Powers.
The portion Of the program
worked out in conjunction with the
water board, contempIates taking
away the water boards discretion
airy powers in the matter of laying
mains. This proposed law will CONF
pei the board to lay mains when
majority petition Of property owners
is presented, provided the property
owners will pay the full cost Of lay
ing such mains.
The water board has agreed to
this change.
This legislative program also in
cludes a coming law to control the
height Of buildings, and to enable
the city planning commission to es-
tablish areas for factories, residences
and other kinds Of buildings.
Similar to New York Law
This law, worked out in connec-
tion with the city planning commits
sion, Is similar to a zoning law now
IN effect in New York.
The legislative program also CON
templates repeal of amendment of
about thirty sections Of the present
city ordinances dealing with pub
lie Improvements.
Create Grading Bond. &
These changes include
Making it possible for the city at
large TO be charged up with as much
as one-half the cost of grading
streets by creating bond fund for
that purpose. Also, this law will
permit the council instead of prop
erty owners to initiate grading pro-
jects, leaving property owners the
right to protest with majority pc
tition.
Removal of the limitation Of.
100000 now placed on operations
Of the city council and planning
commission in opening up new
streets, and parks and parlSways,
and insacquiring new land for these
purposes.
Protect Property Owners.
Provision for a new method of
procedure in all street improvement
matters. This will place initiation
Of street improvement matters in
the hands Of council, and will per-
nit one single improvement ordin-
ance to cover a group of streets in
any one district. Property owners
are protected by this proposed law
which permits them to kill any
street Improvement project by a
majority petition. This law pro-
pides that property owners be noti-
fled by mail of any proposed street
Improvement affecting them. r
The city engineering department
says the proposed law will encour-
age competitive bidding, and thus
obtain public improvements at
lower cost than under the present
system.

nal. 1t would be we'll, 1t seems to
me, to quiet the Government workers
and the teachers of the first four
grades by giving them the minimum
salary of the Nolan bill and thus
satisfy for a time at least. a large
class of workers, Their relatives. and
friends.
Many of US are hopelessly tied up
with debts resulting from attempt
ing to live on salaries wholly made
quate before 1917, six hundred year;
in 1918, seven hundred and nifty; in
1910 eight hundred and sixty, the
minimum salary for the first four
classes. We see no way to meet our
living expenses without a substantial
increase in our pay. Please tell them
not to force us TO wait until the re
classification commission shall have
ended its labors; for its members
have now begun to compare present
wages with those OF Pharaoh's pyra-
mid builders, and, as they are likely
to keep on comparing all the way
down the line, many OF US will be
simply "out of II" by the time they
get back home and prepare a state

The Bonus.

To the Editor of THE TIMES.
No man who had an opportunity
to. serve in the period OF strife,
whether by choice or force, would re-
fuse any financial aid. There is not
one eN-soldier who would not feel
very grateful to receive the bonus
mentioned. There are men who suf-
fered financially, and who sacrificed
positions that they will never be able
TO obtain again. The men who op-
pose this great move are men who
did not serve this country at arms
and who today are continuing to de-
mand large salaries for their services
in civil life. Some have lost more
financially than the Government will
give them, but any amount would
help each of us, rather than nothing
/ am confident that the men would
prefer the money to any amount Of
land, as has also been suggested

10 the Editor of THE TINES:
The statements made by Mr.. +. A.
clements, in The Washington Times.
october n, certainly showed a disin-
clination to obtain correct informa-
tlon in regard to the hours in opera
ton at the Army Retail Store, Lib
erty Hut.
Mr.. Clements attention is invited
TO the fact that the Government store
closes at 8 each evening, precisely the
same time that every large store in
Washington is closed. ] have noticed
on number OF occasions that people
have been admitted and served a few
minutes after 6.
From my observation l can frankly
state that il seems to be the purpose
of the Government to show every
consideration to the people OF Wash
inSton in the way of service and cour-
teous treatment.
Very truly,
ROBERT J. COTTRELL.
