By Associated Press American Flotilla in British Wa ters, Oct. 24.—American destroyers and men are now prepared for the winter. Both have been equipped lor cold days ahead. The issue of winter clpthing -if> the men has taken place and the fast little ships have been thoroughly overhauled and have had several "gadgets" added to their equipment, such as gun shields for the men operating the guns, non breakable glass windows for the bridges, more crows nests and extra life rafts. Thanks to the busy women at home who knit, many of the men have been provided excellent knit sweaters, jerseys and socks. Now, however, an entirely new issue of extra heavy garments, designed by the British from their long ex perience on torpedoboats in the ter rible weather oft this coast, has been made. Here are some of the things, when donned, will make the men look more like Arctic explorers than blue jackets: • Woolen Helmets Helmets, made of wool and cover ing all but the eyes, nose and mouth; light coat sweaters, jerseys and car digan Jackets, knitted mittens and gloves; extra heavy coarse under clothing; lightweight woolen socks and knee-length knitted stockings, besides heavy thick woolen socks for boots, leather sea boots, wind proof khaki-colored trousers; great coats lined with lamb's wool and knitted mu fHera. Over this clothing officers and men will continue to wear their kapok life jackets made in vest form. These vests, in addition to their life sav ing properties, arc very warm. Pil lows and mattresses on board their ships are made of the same material. The men also had oil skins when they came over. The men face the coming hard ships cheerfully. All they ask is that the folks at home do not forget them while they are facing the perils of fighting the submarine' under the vastly new conditions of winter. Few of them have cruised in the -gales that are peculiar to this coast, when sleet squalls are hourly affairs.

CITY FACING REPETITION OF • ASH CONGESTION Coming Winter Months Will Be Same as Last Year When Yards ),Vere Piled High Harrisburg Is facing a repetition of the conditions which existed last winter because of failure of the Pennsylvania Reduction Company to maintain regular collections of ashes at that time. This was the opinion expressed in the city to-day by a number of of ficials and residents, because-of the report of Health Officer J. M. J. Raunick, to Coulncil, stating the regular collection of ashes has not been started. Unless the American Surety Com pany assists in the work, Council will have the problem of determin ing what can be done to relieve con ditions whic will exist. That the ashes and other refuse can be coF lected regularly and an accumulation prevented if enough teamis and men are put in the districts, the commis sioners state. If this is not done dur ing the coining winter months there will be another piling up of waste and ashes similar to the conditions existing in the spring. The commissioners state they will do everything possible to prevent this recurrence, realizing the unsani tary conditions which are sure to re sult. Until a reply is received from the bonding company answering the appeal of Council to have the coo tract filled, no action will be taken. POSTPONE ACADEMY MEETING Dr. J. M. .T.
