'em steel collins, but it's the only real life
in the navy"
The chief boatswain of that same de-
stroyer, with years of hard sea life written
in his face, has fooled Mr.. Boreas and old
Neptune SO far. After being thrown from
his bunk to the deck he placed board up
end on the edge of his bunk, and, while a
rookie would call it "unseamanlike," the old
bo's'n has a fence to his bunk and he
sleeps while others slide out
Even in the restricted space of destroy
err you will find the talking machines and
musical instruments. The crew lives at
close quarters and the fraternal spirit dom
mates the men of these ships. On one of
the destroyers overseas q COB was found
idling while on watch, and to punish him
fox this serious offence he was stood on
the bridge and ordered to cry out every time
the running light blinked, Rise and shine
you dod-gasted landlubber, it's reveille on
the farm" He had been going through this
performance for more than an hour when
the skipper came the bridge. whats
that?" he asked the COB; and the COB
bawled out his speech to the captain, for it
was dark. This sailor was never caught
Longing on watch again.
On one of the destroyers there WIS q
crusty old master alarms and polite
young COB from the South who had formed
the habit of saying "sr" to his elders. After
order from the old sailor the COB replied
eyes, sir" And the master alarms informed
the COB thus: "Say, Pm not an officer, you
don't have to sir me; where do YOU get
that stuff, anyhow ?"
What pleases the gobs most is the way the
public has come to regard them as in con-
trast to sailors status a few years ago.
One of them said the other day: 81 know
there's a lot of fine young men from the
best families in the service now; the war
brought EN- in, and it has helped the pco-
pie to recognize the navy for what it really

IDEA OF a sailor was guy who would get
dead drunk as soon as he got on shore, and
after tearing up the whole neighborhood
would call the nearest beer wagon and lay
down and let it run over him. just to show
how tough he was. But the public has
found out that the men in the navy are all
trained men and pretty intelligent and
decent. You see for yourself And
wonder just how they will treat the gobs
after the war is long over. | wonder if they
will remember what they learned about them
when they were anxious to be friendly
and to entertain us social equals"
This sailor told the truth for the men
in the service "intelligent and decent"
and a lot more, in a fine, manly way if the
public wlls meet them half way. Look at
the COB when the visitors climb over his
ship asking fool questions about "How
many Germans did he kill, how many sub
marines did his ship sink and how many
battles has he been n?" He will answer

that's Admiral Rodman coming alongside in
his barge. You know, when you get that
high you make em step out But the
admiral is all right, and he can have any,
thing he wants on this ship" A captains
gig was lying near the admiral's barge
Both looked alike, being very trim and ele-
CANT little launches. whats the difference
between the admiral's barge and the cap
tain's gig?" the visitor asked ooh, | guess
the barge has got one more tassel and
little more bright work than the gig" the
bugler replied. This gcb says he only has
to sound 1856 different calls, not counting
the marches. About every minute or so
he would step to hatch and toot some call
below, which would get several gobs to
their feet on some errand of duty.
Time and tide are two things which the
COB has always in mind. And then they
shove off from the big ship in a liberty
party, loading sturdy motor boat down
to the gunwales, and if the deck officer
tells them to return tomorrow morning at
o'clock they have a foot that deck on
time. They scamper all over Manhattan,
they pile pellmell into the subway, and
search out the corners of the city where
they know by instinct that fun is to be
had. They explore Central Park, with a
blond or a brunette convoy usually, and
they represented in every theatre, pool
room and service club; yet they are back
on time.
And one reason for this is that down on
the gun decks of the ships there is large
map of New York, with every street and
subway marked, from the Battery to Van
Cortandt Park, and that is their chart
Most of the gobs know the big cities. They
speak with an easy familiarity of Princess
Street, in Edinburgh; OF Piccadilly, of the
ancient Rue de Siam, in Brest. and of the
boulevards of Paris, and Broadway. They
sing of Broadway wherever they are, in any
part OF the world, and, as one COB said to

people and remaining within the linn
it's Of right and justice, solves the
problem of Preparations, even in it's
most extended form, and at the same
time assures peace.
We will now see how this scheme is
practicable for all the Allies and how it
solves the most difficult problems, those
of the Allies who have suffered most
from the German aggression.
Suppose that of the total annual Ger
man indemnity Of OO,OOO,O0O the
part due to France is 5000, 100000.
France, on account Of her indirect
damages, which l explained in my pre-
ceding article, the interest on her war
debt and the pensions to victims of the
war, must increase her annual BUDGET
from 100000, the figure in 1914,
to $3,000,0 100000, three times as much.
On the other hand, the French people
must be saved from having to pay new
taxes amounting to $4,000 100000 an
nually, in the first place because it would
be Ubiquitous, as the taxes would be a
direct consequence of the German az
gresslon, and in the second place be-
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-01-05

like the United States, is not very
huge sum.
Finally, as the same combination of
internal loans to take care Of their
budgets without running the people by
enormous taxes would appeal to all the
Allies, an inter-Allied financial combina-
ton would undoubtedly be made to ia
ciltate placing these loans based on the
German annual indemnity. l have taken
France for my example only because her
problem is the most difficult to solve,
since France has suffered the greatest
damage Of the three principal Euro
pean Allies, her territory having been
the most deeply invaded and she having
formed the bases of the coalition.
But it is clear that the foregoing
scheme, and this is one of its principal
advantages, can be applied to all the
Allies, large or small, that are creditors
of the German people as a consequence
of their aggression.
The division of the German indemnity,
$2,000,0OO00O annually, according to
our figures, must be as equitable as pos
sibe. To bring this about the indemnity
must be divided according to plan
adopted and agreed to by all, but at the
same time it must take account Of the
fact that the participation of all the
Allies in the war has not been equal
Some have been in the war longer time
than the others, while for some the sac
rifice in men and money has been
greater than for others All these
things must be taken account of in the
division of the indemnity
A formula for the division of the in
demnity can be prepared by giving to
each element of participation justifying
a share in the indemnity certain CO.
efficient For example, the number of
days of participation in the war will be
reckoned up, the number of soldiers
modified, the losses in soldiers. the
losses among the civilian population, the
relation of the total loss to the total
population, the per capita expense of
carrying on the war, the direct damages,
the indirect damages, budget increases
due to the war. For each of these ese-
ments coefflcient must be found that
will be as equitable as possible 1t is
difficult, but it can be done
AS there will be many nations to share
the indemnity, let each of them study
the question carefully and prepare a
table setting forth the coefiicients of the
various elements. There will undoubt-
eddy be wide divergence among the
figures proposed. Therefore. take the
mean in each case and this will be ms
nearly equitable as can be hoped for and

Is a typical yarn from chief quarter

1t was one of those cold gray days during
the war when the ships of the 9Th United

tcgic points about the North Sea, silently
waiting, ready to challenge the first German
ship to push its nose out of Kel. On board

cause it would be impossible to Levy
$4,000, 100000 Of new taxes in France
without putting burden on all economic
activity that would be absolute ruin.
The special financial problem for
France, then, is to use the $500, 900 900
of German indemnity in such a way that
the $4,000, 100000 additional required
for the budget can be supplied without
levying fresh taxes.
This problem can be solved if the Ger
man annuity, being guaranteed over
long period, is accepted as security for
French loans, either internal or to be
taken up by the Allies, to be calculated
on the indemnity and paid out of sink
ing fund, which the duration of the an
nuity will make it possible to provide.
For example, the after-war BUDGET
of France will be as follows:
