HOMEWARD BOUND
by TOM RHEA PHILLIPS
(Article nine)

At 2:30 P. M. on Sunday after
noon, December the fifteenth, the
George Washington began to
move out toward sea and we
waved long farewell to the
land for which we had SO long
wished, and from which, now
that our task was accomplished,
we were anxious to depart on our
homeward trip.
The George Washington is one
OF the ships that the German
Government left in the hands of
the United States when the war
broke out in Europe, and was
taken over by the United States
when German methods drove us
to enter the war. It is seven
hundred twenty-five feet long.
and seventy-eight feet wide. It
has eight decks, all Of which are
used to accommodate passengers.
The ship was the pride of the
Kaiser, and was his pet ship. The
most luxurious suites of rooms,
with the richest Of furniture, tap
estry, and adornments were the
Kaiser's very own, so we were
told by the crew. The Fates
decreed that this should be the
ship on which our President
should cross the Atlantic after
the defeat of the grand armies
Of the proud monarch. The ship
wis built for speed, but rarely
made over Is knots Per hour, -

weather that it has been our for

Twice each day we had boat
drill, and every man learned
whore his station was in case OF
fire or danger, and we could 4
bandon the ship at 4 very few
minutes notice.
There were only two meals
served. day, one, at $50 A. M.
and the other at 800 P. M. We
had no cause to wish that we had
taken the warship for our trip
home, insofar - the food was
concerned, for We had ali we
could eat. Fruit was served at
every meal and we'll cooked food

quantities.

Portable and had none Of the in
conveniences common to the
troop decks, and some gladly ac-

private soldiers, and shared their
lot.
The privates and non-com-

the lower decks, and found their
quarters good, and that there was
plenty Of fresh air.

immaculate as possible, the decks
being scrubbed several times !

Most Of the boys who had al

bade the face adornment 4 sad
farewell during the trip over, and
determined to be clean shaven

For reasons unknown to us,
and possibly to himself, our Col
onel forbade the opening Of the
soldiers canteen on the ship and
we were denied the purchase Of
the sweets that were IN store for
US. But the sailors On the ship,
who were specimens of the "A
merican navy boys Of whom we
are 50 proud, came to our rescue
and would stand IN line at the
windows Of their lown canteen
and buy candy for US. There is
certainly q wonderful spirit that
exists between the men in the A

On numbers Of occasions the ma
w boys had occasion to befriend

We will always remember them
