SUMMING UP.
When wars of
passed
And the red is rubbed from the earth;
When ghosts and shadows are no more
massed
And life has its share of mirth;
The only souls on the thoroughfare
Who come to a better start
Are those who've given the game
share,
The ones who have done their part.
and rumors wars have
When peace returns te the broken scene
On through the final flash—
When the red is wiped from the
green
On down to the closing crash—
Each one shall hold at the distant end,
Beyond the mist-blurred gates,
Only the share he had come to spend
In service for his mates.
—Grantland Rice, in New York Tribune.
ancient
Naval Life.
In our new navy two things sur-
vive from the old order—the ham-
mock and the bag. Port and star-
board have gone, and so has the grog,
but as there must be room to mount
and operate the guns and turrets, to
carry the ammunition and fuel supply,
and with the complement of a battle-
ship at a thousand men, the ham-
mock will remain with us.
The sight of a sailor lugging his
bag and hammock through the streets
should, however, be no more since he
no longer has to carry his hammock
with him when he is trasnferred. A
small trunk, similar to that in use in
the army, and which could be racked,
should be substituted for the bag.
In the morning, at reveille, a thous-
and pairs of feet hit the deck, and the
ship bursts into life.
Blankets are neatly folded in the
hammock and a rope lashing is used
to do the hammock into a neat bun-
dle. Each man then unhooks his
hammock from his billet and carries
it to the stowage space provided. Fif-
teen minutes are allowed for this, and
when the decks are cleared morning
coffee is served. A half-hour after
reveille “turn to” sounds and in two
hours before breakfast the decks are
wet down, men wash their soiled
clothing, scrub the decks, the dirty
paint-work, the ship’s sides given
such a house cleaning as the average
residence gets but twice a year.
At 7:30 breakfast is served, porta-
ble tables let down from their racks
overhead, dishes passed to the various
messmen from a central scullery, and
i the food brought from the gal-
ey.
A cafeteria system tried out on a
few ships has proved a success, the
food being served more quickly,
warmer and more appetizingly.
At 8 o’clock all hands must be in
the uniform of the day prescribed by
the commander-in-chief and signaled
to the fleet by the flagship. At 8:15
“turn to” is again piped by the boat-
swain’s mates, and the final touches
put to cleaning up for the day, shin-
ing the brass-work and cleaning the
guns.
“" Quarters for muster and drill is
usually at 9 o’clock, when every man
on the ship who can be spared from
his duties falls in with his division
and is inspected. As soon as all di-
visions have reported to the executive
officer the general alarm to battle sta-
tions is sounded and all hands go on
the run to their “general quarters.”
This is the most important drill in
the battle fleet, and no one is excused.
It is the preparation for battle, and
becomes such a part of the daily rou-
tine that the call to battle stations
creates no excitement if sounded at
midnight and no matter where our
ships may be now, by the touching of
a push button on each ship every gun
can be firing in less than two minutes.
All is not drill and work, however,
in the bluejacket’s life. Baesball,
boat racing, boxing and football get
his earnest attention. Every ship has
an allowance for athletics, and usual-
ly a ship spoken of as a “home” is a
“good sporting ship.” Baseball, of
course, has the most followers, every
ship having a team. Each division of
the fleet has a sort of league of its
own, the champions of each division
eliminating one another, until finally
two only are left to compete for the
fleet championship.
Frequently ships give smokers or
minstrel shows and invite the mem-
bers of other ships to attend. Huge
stages and “bleacher” seats are erect-
ed on the deck and the ship gayly dec-
orated. .
Boxing is encouraged, and great in-
terest is attached to the champion-
ship bouts staged at these smokers.—

Berlin Has No Leather Shoes.
Leather shoes are sold out in Ber-
lin, says the correspondent of the
Amsterdam Handelsblad. :
“Clothing of all kinds, including
underclothing, is most difficult to get,
even with a clothing card. No hand-
kerchiefs, no shirts, no socks, no nap-
kins, no woolen cr cotton jacket for
baby. Decent washing and toilet soap
has long been unobtainable. Many,
many things are unobtainable that
are still to be had in Holland, al-
though prices may run much higher
than in peace times. Yet the Berlin-
er looks fairly clean and well groom-
ed. The art of clothes mending has
been carried to a fine point here. And
water and sand keeps you clean, too,
at a pinch.
“A smokable cigar cannot be bought
for less than 60 fennings, and then not
more than three at a time. A cigar-
ette costs 12 fennings, and smoking
tobacco has gone the way of rice and
beans and peas and salad oil and bran-
dy and turpentine and sealing wax
and a hundred other articles. Gone,
completely gone. ;
“Only as regards fuel, the Berlin-
ers are better off. There is hardly
any limit on gas, electricity or coal.
“Great material privations have
been and are being borne with forti-
tude. Added to which are the pangs
of mourning and sorrow, grief and
anxiety in thousands of homes for the
fallen and those about to fall.”
