18 SOLDIERS DERIDE U-BOAT DANGER Writer Also Finds Men in Embarkation Camps Who Are Eager to Fight New York.—Scorn for the subma rine danger and eagerness for the fray are the chief emotions exhibited 3y the soldiers about to depart for France, according to Going Over, a lewspaper printed by the Y. M. C. A. International War Work Council on :he presses of The Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Going Over - , which carries news trom the four quarters, is de signed for free distribution to sol diers waiting in embarkation camps. "Time was when the Prussian propaganda thought to frighten America by telling of the power of the German submarine," says a writer in the newspaper who has studied at first haiid the soldiers in the country a embarkation ports. "Keep this well in mind, the Prussian was speaking nis own sentiments when he sought to hinder troop movements by such propaganda. The Prussian has a cer tain quality of bravery—he is brave when in groups and when these groups are prodded by pistols. Put him by himself and he is an arrant coward. Remove the pistol and he will turn and run. "The Prussian thought to proclaim to the individual the menace of the U-boat and to influence great groups by the dissemination of his word-of mouth alarms. But America was not to be intimidated. The more the Prussian raved the more the American resolved on carrying out his avowed purpose. ■ Look at the record of American transports and think of the great Army that lias been transport ed in absolute safety." The soldiers about to board the ships are reminded that the strictest sort of discipline is maintained, and their attention is called to the fact that the Navy Department takes charge once the shore is left behind. How carefully the health of the men in the transports is safeguarded may ae gained from this resume: Spend Much Time On Deck Before embarking a thorough ex amination of troops is made by the Army medical officers to eliminate the sick. Within Ave days of sailing the commanding officer of troops sub mits to the senior naval surgeon a statement that all of his men have re ceived protective vaccinations, and if any have not he designates the men to be vaccinated. After embarkation all men must spend at least an hour and a half on deck, each man bring ing up his own blankets to be aired. Commanding officers are directed to see to it that their men receive thirty minutes of physical exercise during this period, and in addition the men are instructed to stay in the open as much as the- weather will permit. All men and their effects must be inspected at least twice a week, to be sure the soldiers are observing the rules of hygiene. The men must sleep "head and points" to prevent, as far as possible, the spreading of In fection by coughing. The officers are instructed to see that the men sleep with proper coverings and that they do not sleep on deck or elscwhero without plenty of blankets. Men are not permitted to close the ventilators or otherwise interfere with the proper circulation of air. They are not per mitted to eat food In rooms, or in other unauthorized places unless the surgeon prescribes it. Many clever poems enliven the pages of Going Over and there are two columns of wit. one dubbed "Bpeezes," and written by Private Chester W. Shafer, Three Hundred and Tenth Sanitary Train. Camp Cus ter, Michigan, and another, "Sunny Side of Life," which is the work of Private F. C, McKenna, Company A, One Hundred and Thirty-third In fantry. The publisher of the sheet Is John Stewart Bryan, of Trench and Camp: Chaplain Percy T. Edrop, for merly attached to the Forty-seventh New York, is manager and editor; Tamils A. McMahon is associate editor, and Thomas S. Rice, formerly of The Eagle, is sports editor. A line across the top of the edi torial page declares that every edi torial was written by a soldier in ser vice. "We Have Germans on the Run," Writes Harrisburg Nurse From Front Lines "We certainly have the Germans on the run: it looks like they were whipped now!" This Is the inspiring: message re ceived to-day by A. J. Sliker, 506 Cal der street, from his brave sister, Mabel Sliker. who Is fighting for Uncle Sam as a trained nurse right on the front lines in Picardy. With headquarters at Evacuation Hospital No 8. American Nurse Corps, Miss Sliker writes under date of August 2, and after commenting on the lively Julv 4th. she continues: "This is a very beautiful country, but when it comes to 'eats' you may be glad to be in the old 'U. S. A.,' et'en the fruit Is tasteless, and about the onlv thing that tastes natural is raisins, but they are so blamed dear. The flies over here are tierce, you can imagine, when they do not have any screens and the large French win dows open like doors, from the top to the bottom: consequently the. flies have the right of way. The French people try to tell us that they did not have any flies until the Americans came over. Just imagine such talk. I suppose they did not know what they were. "As yet I have not learned much French'; it is so hard to pronounce. But T do not care If I learn it 9r not. "Was talking to a soldier from the front, who had a picture of a German officer and his wife and family. It was taken at Cape Mav. N. J. They were all fine looking, and it looks like this man went back to Germany to fight against us. All that I can say is be will not fight any more. T was wondering if his family still lived in the United States. "You must take off your hats to the Marines. Thcv are certainly giving it to the 'Dutch,' and it keeps us busy moving to keep up with them. We are not so near the front as we had been, since the Germans have been pushed back. Tiere is some talk of moving up farther front, and I hope thev do. At present I am about one hour and thirty minutes' ride from Paris. T expect to go there Monday to do some shopping. "T tu-t received my mall from the States, thirty letters In all. and T cer tainly had some time reading them. Among them were some newspapers printed in Mav. and the nevs was new. even if the panrs were several months late in reaching me. This is the first mall I received since I ar rived over here. "I sunpnse You people get the good news of the war. but you cannot ap preciate It like we can over here, be cause we know fust where the places mentioned are. We certainly have the ■Germans on the run, and If wo keep if up they will soon he back In their own country; it looks like they are whipped now. "The ship that we came over In has heen sunk by a submarine. It was the Justitla. a very fine boat. They mis took it for the Vaterland. as it re sembles it very much. The day be fore we landed we had some excite ment. and I would not care to have any more of It; there was all klndß of shooting. "We are located right hack of the Marines, where they are doing their fighting. We are also close to the Pennsylvania troops, which makes it very nice for me, as I meet a lot of soldiers from near home and quite a few from Harrisburg, It certainly makes one feel proud of the good work the soldiers from our good old state are doing." "At .the front, muslo cause* the shell-blasted, trench scarred land scape to vanish," BPANOLKR MUSIC MOUSE, 2112 North Sixth street, adv.

Records will be kept to see how closely the hens lay according to the predictions of Mr. Knandel. The farm ers will keep records themselves. The farmers also tried their judgment In selecting layers from nonlayers. Mr. Knandel explained how he culls good hens from nonlayers, apd ex plained the external characteristics by which he judges poultry. B means of molting he can* tell a good layer from a "slacker." The hen that molts early, in July or August, is a poor layer, as it continues to molt late, and thereby devotes its energy to making feathers, rather than lay ing eggs. He goes largely by color. A chicken which stores up fat cannot lay many eggs. He declared that the fat is shown by the color of the chicken at the shanks, beak, ear lobes, eye rings, and vent. When the hen is storing up fat, these parts of the skin are yellow, whereas if she Is devoting her energy to laying eggs, the skin bleaches white.
