ARTHUR LOFTS TELLS
OF LIFE in NAVY

Arthur C. Lofts. Jr., who was with
sub-chaser contingent of the Navy
during the great war and who for the
past two years was stationed at the
| San Pedro, Calf, submarine base, has
| lust arrived home to return to business
with his father. Mr.. Lofts received
his discharge at Hampton Roads, Va,
after having completed cruise with a
number of obsolete subs of the H-type.
The old submarines were taken from
San Pedro to Hampton Roads, where
they are being reequipped and placed
in reserve for instant use, if the need
should arrive.
Mr.. Lofts, who as a chief machin-
lists mate was in charge of the engine
room of the HIS, declares the 5000
mile trip, which required 54 days. was
very interesting. None of the H boats
had to be towed, he says A number
of L boats, however, had to be towed
practically all the way.
at was very rough for some of our
crew." says Mr.. Lofts, "but the trip
to me was not so very rigorous. Life
aboard a submarine was calm in COM
parison with that on subchaser. The
heat, however, was terrific The tenn
perature reached l67 degrees in our
engine room. We were certainly glad
when we had left the Panama canal
and those other hot zones behind.
Mr.. Lofts states that the San Pedro
base will be reequIpped with submar-
ines of the R-type. He says the latest
thing in naval craft of the underseas
type, however, is the T.bOat. Each
Of the divers is 324 feet long. They
carry a crew of 40 men.
81 like the navy" says Mr.. Lofts,
"but am glad that | am out for the
reason that one does not get any home
life. 1t kept me constantly on the
move, and | had but little time to be
with my wife and son. The San Pedro
harbor offers the best torpedo ground
the Pacific Coast. Because of the
great expanse of sand beach we were
easily able to salvage lost torpedoes.
Where this is not possible the loss runs
extremely high. "

That is what war-on the scale ex- perienced in F'rance-would have meant, prop portionately, to us with our population and area.
 Their losses have been terrible. Of the 60O,00O homes razed 5.z to [ the ground the vast majority have not yet been rebuilt. The 1,4o6,0O0 men who gave their lives on the battlefield deprived France of her strongest manhood.
 We read and hear that France is inaperiahstic-that she dreams of new wars-that is not true. A man having escaped from an agonizing death does not desire to renew the experience. War nearly annihilated them-left them bleeding, clutching at life. Now they want peace.

II must not be all play. There must be some work and some study. It is indeed a curious circumstance that so little irni- tation of the lives of heroes en- ters into the festivals which are created in their honor. From inamemorial the peoples have said, 'sThis was a mighty man, who did great and laborious deeds. therefore shall we, his suc- cessors, honor him by adding a few hours to our play"
 The new observance in the schools will not take much from play. It may add much to thought.
