American Destroyers and Men in the War

Base American Flotilla in British
Waters, Oct. 8. (Correspondence of the
Associated Press)—All American destroy
ers and men are now prepared for the
winter. Both have been equipped for !
the cold days ahead. The issue of winter 1
clothing to the men has taken place and
the fast little ships have been thoroughly :
overhauled and have had several “gad- i
gets” 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.

provided with excellent sweaters, jerseys
and socks. Now, however, an entirely
new issue of extra heavy garments, de
signed by the British from their long ex
perience on torpedo boats in the terrible
weather off this coast, has been made
Here are some of the things, which when j
donned, will make the men look more like
Arc tic explorers than bluejackets:
Helmets made of wool and covering all

sweaters, jerseys and cardigan jackets,
knitted mittens and gloves; extra heavy !
coarse underclothing; light weight woolen j
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 mufflers.

of winter. Few of them have cruised in
the gales that are peculiar to this coast,
w'hen sleet squalls are hourly allairs.
WHAT OF THE FUTURE ?
There is much real food for thought in
the official figures of the imports into
this country from abroad for the past
fiscal year. They have just been issued, j
and they carry a warning that should ap
peal even to the framers of the present
tariff law as to wiiat the future has in
store. Goods to the amount of over two ;
and a half billions of dollars came to ;
American ports during the year that end- j
ed with the first of July. This is a value
higher by half a billion than that of the !
preceding year. It is greater by over
eight hundred millions than that of the j
fiscal year of 1913, the last year under the j
Republican tariff.
But with all this increase the customs
revenues are dwindling rather than in- i
creasing. The year 1913 gave customs
revenues of $318,000,000; the similar re
ceipts for the past year were only $226,
000,000. In other words, while the im- i
ports have increased forty-six per cent j
over the 1913 year, the revenue from
them collected at the custom houses de- i
creased thirty per cent. That measures
the difference between the Republican
and the Democratic tariiT laws. Had the
same rates of duty been in effect during
the past year as were in the year 1913,
we would have received from customs
the sum of $465,000,000, or over twice the
amount that w'e did receive.
What will happen when industrial
Europe is itself again and sends here not
the less than a quarter which she did last
year, but nearly half of our total im
ports, as she did before the war, and will
be ready to do again?—Philadelphia Press.

MYSTIFYING MILLIONS.
Puzzling at Fir«t, but It Wai Really ,
Very Simple Matter.
A number of'years ago. when the
| names of subscribers to the then re
I cently issued 3 (>er cent bonds were be
ing sent in to Washington, one sub
scription was received from Oregou,
" hieh the authorities supposed to be
signed with an assumed name. Ten
Million. A curt note was sent to the
address given, stating that bonds could
be registered iu real names only.
A prompt reply came from Mr. Mil
lion'. written upon paper bearing the
letterhead of the firm of Million & Mil
lion. He explained that he was born
a Million and was the teuth and young
est child of the family. His father
and mother, never beiug able to ngree
upon Christian names that suited the
taste of both, had allowed their chil
dren to be designated by numbers,
which with the passage of time had be
come their only rightful and legal
names. His brother, Mr. Seven, was
his partner in business.
Some of the brothers and sisters, as
imw grew up. nau mourned tho too
arithmetical simplicity of their names
a little. He himself was commonly
known as Tonis instead of Ten, and his
sisters, the Misses One and Three, had
become, certainly to advantage, Una
and Trio. But the law took no cogniz
ance of such belated improvements.
Ten Million was still his only legal
signature.
The explanation was ample and suf
ficient. and the bonds for which he
had subscribed were- duly registered in
his rightful name, hut the government ;
clerk who recorded the transaction ;
read his rvcord over several times and
breathed a sigh of relief when he was
quite sure he had it unmistakably cor- ,
root. Recause, if Mr. Ten Million had
been accidentally added up or the bond
for Tqn Million mistaken for a bond
for ten million

COFFEE AND THE POETS.
Why Has the Muse So Shamefully Neg
lected the Morning Cup?
If the ancients had known it there
would have been a tumultuous cult of
the goddess Coffea. ami the choruses of
Euripides would have been sung by
CofFerantes. Coffee has the romance of
wine, and caffeine is far less maleficent 1
than alcohol.
The coffee bean is indeed less beau
tiful than the grape clusters, and the
coffee grinder is jess romantic thuu the
wine press, but there all inferiority
ceases. The odor of coffee is as noble
as the bouquet of Chateau-Yquem; its
color—“dark am 1, but comely”—is less
glorious than the ruby of Burgundy,
but it betokens innocence with exhila
ration.
Poets have neglected coffee, partly
because poets are greatly under the m- :
fluence of tradition, partly because cof
fee is a hard word to And a rime for.
One had hoped that vers libres would
give scope to coffee lovers. But the j
vers - librettisti and vers - librettistae I
• those gentlemen and ladies who write !
poetry for the eye and the ear rather
than for the intelligence> have been
equally negligent. Philosophers do not
care for breakfast. Kant took u pipe
and a stroll for bis morning meal. and.
if we were to inquire into the habits
of the extremely modern poets, we
should be likely to And that they are
equally reckless of breakfast. 1 sus
pect them of gruel or mutton broth.
To return, as 1 have said, no poet has
celebrated coffee. Shakespeare came
too soon. Poj^ has a mere reference:
Coffee, which makes the politician wise
And see through all things with his half
shut eyes.
But in Pope's day coffee was an af
fair of afternoon, and company did not
appeal to romantic sentiments as break

wick in Yaie Review.
Chemical Wealth In Lakes.
There are several takes in the United
States which contain sodium carbonate,
borax, potash and common table salt.
Perhaps the best known of these is
Great Salt Lake, Utah's ocean of salt.
Others are Searles lake. Owens lake ,
and Mono lake, all in California. The '
origin of these lakes is doubtful. In ■
some cases they are probably due to I
an arm of the ocean becoming land- j
locked. The most remarkable feature
about them is the fact that they seem
to be continuously fed from subter
ranean sources, since they maintain a
uniform amount of salt.—Popular Sci
ence Monthly.
Changing an Opinion.
Many men can rightly assert that
their opiuious do not change, but they
are not wise in boasting of the fact. It
shows too often that they have learned
nothing since the day on which they
reached their opinions. So obvious an
evidence of ignorance or foolishness no
man should advertise.—Youth’s Com
panion.
Naturally.
‘Old man Butts is always running,
down his son’s school, and I believe:
it. is because the boy is always at the
foot of his class.”
“At the foot, is he? Then that is
where the shoe pinches.”—Baltimore
American.
Cause For Thought.
“The boss said I was brilliant, so he
put me among the diamonds.”
“Hum! He has just transferred me
to ivory goods.”—Louisville Courier
Journal.

Hun-Americans.—Take Notice.
Tile Huns have sunk an American
transport, sending to their death seventy
brave Americans enlisted in the cause of
their country. This should be fair notice
to Hun-Americans and Hun-American
ism that the tune has passed when neith
er the offender nor the offence can be
tolerated in this land.
American blood has been spilled under ;
the American flag. Today more than at |
any lime before we are brought face to
face with the realities of war. Today
more than ever before patriotic Ameri
cans are understanding that this must be
a united country if victory is to be ours; j
and this means that, more than ever be
fore, they are determined that the last
vestige of treason, of sedition or any
other form of Hun-Americanism shall be
driven from America. At any cost those
persons who, under any guise, are work- i
ing against America and for Germany
must be run to earth and punished for
the traitors they are.
This is no time for toleration of the
mealy-mouthed, line-haired distinctions
raised by the proponents of sedition. ;
There has been too much tolerance of
that sort of thing. The life of this na
tion is at stake. The United State* amt
the great principles for which it stands
are of infinitely more importance to
Americans and to the world than are in
dividuals or the presumed “rights” of
individuals. The individual, no matter
what his pretext or how loud his profes
sion of Americanism, who is contributing
in any degree to the weakening of the
nation in this its hour of greatest trial, !
must be punished, and with no imitation
punishment. Anything less than the
limit the law allows for the offence would
be a travesty on justice, a confession of
national impotency.
The United States is not impotent. It
is fully able to stamp out sedition. The !
Lime to do it is now.
We read reports of spies being caught.
I hey should be shot. We find half-bak
-d youths of both sexes engaged in
spreading seditious doctrines. They
should be punished; but even more im
portant is it that those persons “higher
Lip ’ who have led them astray should be
apprehended and that the punishment ,
visited upon them should be condign.
Hie man—whether he be a Senator or a
mie-time Senator, a professor or a candi
date for otlice — who arrays himself I
against the national purpose to fight this
war to a victorious finish and to utilize
-very resource of this country to that I
?nd is not entitled to enjoy any of the
rights of an American. He is criminal
ind outcast, and must be treated as out
cast and criminal.
The only alternative of prompt and
proper action by the authorities and the
courts in dealing with Hun-Americans is
action by the American people them
selves. It is the duty of the authorities
and the courts to prevent the develop
ment of a condition that will make it
necessary for the American people to
rise in their might and take the admin- j
istration of the law into their own hands. |
l'he American people have no desire to ;
take that responsibility upon themselves, j
but if it is necessary they will do their ,
duty unflinchingly.—The New York Her- I
aid.

FLEETS OF ICEBERGS.
8omatime* They Go In Clutters and
Again In Long Lines.
Among the perils and wonders of the
ocean there are few more interesting
things than icebergs, interesting not
only by reason of their gigantic size,
their fantastic shapes, their exceeding
beauty, but also for the manner where
in they array themselves.
Icebergs exhibit a tendency to form
both clusters and long lines, and these
groupings may arise from the effects
both of ocean currents and of storms.
Some very singular lines of bergs,
extending for many hundreds of miles
east of Newfoundland, have been
shown on official charts issued by the
government. Two of these cross each
other, each keeping on its independent
course after the crossing. In several
instances parallel lines of bergs leave
long spaces of clear water between
them. .
Curiously enough, while enormous
fields of ice invade the so called
"steamship lanes" of the Atlantic at the
opening of spring during certain years,
in other years at ^hat season there is
comparatively little ice to be seen.
lhe ice comes, or course, rrom the
edges of the arctic regions, from the
icebound coasts of Greenland and Lab
rador, where huge bergs, broken from
the front of the glaciers at the point
where they reach the sea, start on their
long journeys toward the south, driven
by the great current that flows from
Baffin bay into the northern Atlantic
ocean.
Gettysburg’s ’’Drumfire.”
The heaviest battery of artillery ever
mounted in the world up to 1862 was
before Yorktown, when the federal
army was maneuvering to enter Rich
mond. It consisted of a 500 pounder
and two 200 pounder l’arrot rifled cau
non. Our greatest artillery ’‘stunt”
was the Gettysburg cannonade. It last
ed about two hours, on a line of battle
four to five miles long. \Ye had 82,000
men and 300 guns. The Confederates
75.000 men and 190 guns. There were
50.000 killed and wounded, a mortality
much higher than in more modern
wars.—Everybody's Magazine.
The Otter's Wanderlust.
Of all the beasts in the world, the
otter, that fierce outlaw, is the greatest
wanderer.
It is as if he were afflicted with a
curse that forbids him to be still, that
forces him ever to push on—on—on !
Rest as rest he knows not. Three days
will see the end of his longest inaction,
and the amount of miles he covers in a
fortnight would amaze some folk.—
Outing.
Great Pyramids.
The largest pyramid in the world is i
that of Cholula. in Mexico, which cov
ers fifty acres of ground. The largest
in Egypt is that of Cheops, near Cairo,
which covers thirteeu acres. It con
tains 90.000.000 cubic feet of stone and
could not be built nowadays for less
than $150,000,000.
