Editors note: After 1S months OF
Ddtching the battle of Britain, return
inq War Correspondent EdWtn Stout
presents for The Star Special Ne,US
Service this unusual study OF life in
maritime London.)
If you were in London on sunny
afternoon this spring, you would have to
look twice to tell war was on.
Except for the empty places where
buildings used to be, the city seems much
the same as it was before the blitz
started. It's hard to walk without STEP
ping out onto the pavement because the
streets are so crowded with people re-
leased from stores by the half holiday
and soldiers from London barracks on
weekend leave.
Long lines jam the sidewalks waiting
to get into the movies. They even line
up to buy tickets to the newsreel theaters.
If there is an afternoon air raid, you
might see a few puffs in the sky where
anti-aircraft shells burst, or few vapor
trails where bombers and pursuit planes
are fighting it out, but even with strong
field glasses it is rare that any one sees
a doghght.
In 18 months in London, spent many
hours on rooftops during air raids. But
In all those hours I saw only one plane
fall.
There are so many other things I
looked for and failed to see that the
people I talk to are beginning to think
I wasn't there.
Except for World War veterans, I
never saw manned or wounded person
on the streets. The London police list
several hundred as wounded and taken
to hospital" after each big raid but most
of these are persons suffering cuts,
bruises or fractures. The high-speed
ambulance service gets them off the
streets in a matter of minutes.
1t isn't matter of having arms or
legs blown off. The blast from a big
bomb either kills you or it doesn't.

When Roosevelt Goes Fishing

Invitations to go fishing with President
Roosevelt are never declined, particu-
Iarly if they are sent to those who have
been with him on other occasions. Even
when the Potomac chugs about on the
Potomac when only "a little one" can
be expected to strike at rare intervals,
fishing with the President is an event
was fortunate to be in his boat when
the President caught his first sailfish off
Cocos Island in 1885. That was big
one" as any skeptic will admit if he
goes to the Smithsonian Institution to
look at it on parade where no fish ever
expected to be.
It was an exciting moment when the
big fellow struck savagely at the Presi-
dents lure, and every minute of the long
hour and half that it took to per-
suade the sailfsh to come within reach
of the gaff was exciting. Sitting in his
swivel chair and reeling grimly, the
President enjoyed the zest of the contest
as he smoked the cigarettes that were
placed in his holder and lighted for him.
No War in Sight.
The recent trip on the U. S. S. Po-
Florida and Bahaman waters, was of the
same patterns as others in which the
writer has had the privilege to partici-
pate, but different In 1885 there was no
World War in progress threatening even
the United States itself. There wasn't
even one in sight.
All of us were conscious of the por-
tentous events through which the world
was passing, try to repress as we might
On these fishing trips, official business
is not to be discussed unless the Presl-
dent himself leads the way. OF course, he
had messages that came by air, as well as
mail pouches, containing matters OF i'm
mediate concern. The bill for the ap-
preparation of seven billion dollars to
give effect to the lend-lease bill was flown
out to him on Navy plane to be signed
in Bahaman waters.
Rough weather kept us in Fort Lauder
dale waters for the first two nights. Then
we fished across the gulf stream to Great
Isaac Island, one of the Bahama group.
East of the gulf stream, fishing was par
ticularly good, but we were unlucky in
the way of weather, because, for almost
three days, we were tossed about even
when he were anchored in so-called lee.
First Comfortable Night
The best fishing was in the waters from
Great Isaac to Grand Bahama Island
We had intended to try our luck in some
rarely visited waters on our way back
from Grand Bahama But the sea was
too rough even for fishing, much less for
comfort and perhaps also for safety, SC
we skunk back to Great Isaac and, when
the water continued to boil, we decided
to make run in it one night back tc

London covers 693 square miles.
During an air raid you feel safest in
open country or in a place where you
can't hear the guns or bombs. Gunfire
can be heard in the movie theaters and
sometimes a nearby explosion distorts
the sound track. But there are several
basement restaurants where you don't
hear a thing, partly because of the loud
music, and these are always crowded.
Raid or no raid, you have to get to
dine-and-dance place by 7:30 on Satur-
day night or all tables will be taken.
Movies and theaters close down before 8.
After that the night clubs are crowded to
the doors.

On Fridays you have to get to the

They're all crowded by people going to

war. He hears air raid sirens now and
then, watches the home guard parade
on Sunday morning, and listens to the
B. B. C. for the periodic broadcast of
communiques. Otherwise everything is
peaceful.
Back in town it's peaceful most of
the time. If it weren't for the noise and
terror of air raids, skies reddended by
flames, the smell of smoke, the star-lke
twinkle of bursting anti-aircraft shells.

have never known any one who loved
to fish to the degree that the President
does. If the people knew at first hand
the pleasure and the recreation that he
gets out of fishing, they would insist that
he indulge in it to a greater extent. They
would also insist that he have a proper
and seaWorthy boat 1t seemed unreal
to us that the Commander in Chief of
the Navy should be bobbing about in
the rough waters of the Atlantic in a
boat that was neither comfortable nor
seaworthy, especially at time when he
is more important to democracy and
civilization than any other man in the
world.
Hopkins Landed Biggest Fish.
With two outrigger lines, five or six Of
us could fish comfortably at the same
time without interfering with one an
other. When any one had strike, all
others would pull their lines in quickly
in order to avoid fouling the lucky line.
The competition was cheerful, with
small pool to stimulate interest in catch
ing the longest fish or the most fish each
day. Excepting the S0-pound shark that
taxed Steve Earlys strength one day
from a small motorboat for an hour, the
biggest fish was landed by Harry Hopkins.
1t was kingflsh weighing 35 pounds.
We were always particularly delighted
when the President hooked fish, espe-
cially if it were a sizable one, because
fishing is his one outdoor recourse. But
the real fun is when Gen. Watson, whom
we fondly know as "Pa," gets a strike.
There is no one who is better in good
natured banter, whether it is on the
giving or the taking end, and "Pa's"
thrusts will keep the life in any party.
No one who has ever fshed with him will
deny he is at his best when he Is talking"

attention from the Army than cooks.
Before the World War, all the service
did to take care of the soldiers spiritual
welfare was to have the adjutant gen.
eral, at his own discretion and without
any advice from religious leaders, ap-
point chaplains and pack them off to
Army stations to shift for themselves.
They had no chapels, church material
or any other assistance. officers could
assign the chaplains to any sort of
chore they wished-courts-ma run
ming the post exchange, handling the
amusement Office or checking up on mess
purchases.
Office Created in 1920.
In the World War, to meet sudden,
wholesale demand for religious work, an
organized corps of chaplains was built
up amid confusion and endless wasted
effort An Army officer, layman, was
put in charge of the corps. But still
the Government relied on private char
ity to furnish money for supplies and
other church expenses.
The Office of Chief of Chaplains, to
be held by clergyman, was created in
1920. Arnold, a Roman Catholic mon
signor. with the rank Of colonel, has
held the position since 1887.
Chaplain Arnold is building up the
Arrny's defense against the devil with
a staff of chaplains who are expert ad-
ministrators, and they wage the fight
with clerks, stenographers, typewriters,
charts and bales of orders and cor
respondence Arnold and his men of
God are wrestling as arduously with
the problems of personnel, procurement
and operations as the industrial chiefs
in o. P. NJ and o. P A. C.s, who are
doing their work for the Army and
Navy in many-winged building across
the street from Arnold's.
24-Hour Duty.
Chaplains hold ranks from lieutenant
to colonel and get the same pay as
other officers. They are appointed only
after they have been recommended by
certain designated officials of their own
churches. They must have had three
years of practical experience and must
meet exacting educational requirements.
They perform only spiritual work. A
War Department regulation forbids Of
ficers to assign chaplains to any secu-
lar work except in emergencies.
They are on duty "a hours a day
with their kiaki-clad congregations
1418,0O0 young men, no women or chill
dren. Their job is to learn the names
of all the men in their regiment, go
with them wherever they are sent and
