ST. LOUIS, Dec. 3.-Let's give two

| lance on his part, he declares the
officers and enlisted men to be
the best he has ever had in a
command and adds that "any mis-
takes made here are my fault
not the crews"
Dynamic is the word for him.
Though short Of stature he throws
a long shadow, as any member OF
his crew will tell you. There is
no escaping this long shadow, the
men say, and the magical improve
ment at the station is a direct
result Of it.

It also was in use at the time OF

That is the Nays idea of the
ideal relationship between the com

man. One is equally ready to "go
down the line" with the other.

not only on the activity and deco

He called together the wives OF

If the beauties Of Hollywood can

tiful and as well dressed, sell bonds
to the men here?
His point was proved. When the
women had ceased climbing
aboard boats to collar men there
was a 100 per cent participation.
In little more than an hour and
