Bonus for Submarines.
.Mr. Stevens has been assigned to
duty aboard the Cheyenne, mother
ship of the submarines on the Pacific
• oast. Submarine duty, while the most
unpleasant of all, offers many advan
tages in the way of increased pay. For
instance, every man aboard a sub
mat ino is allowed $5 extra a month for
clothing allowance, the acids used In
the batteries being particularly hard
on clothes. Every member of the crew
is allowed $1 for each dive the boat
makes, with a limitation of not more
than 16 dives per month. Needless to
say every boat submerges at least 16
times in a month. Drill and all of the
formalities and regulations observed
aboard a big ship are dispensed with
aboard a submarine or torpedo boat
and this fact too adds to the at
tractiveness of assignment to a sub
mersible.
No Foreigners Accepted.
Just how the personnel of the navy
has changed within the past decade
was emphasized this morning when a
husky Irishman inquired of Mr. Foltz
if a man who had taken out his first
papers could enlist. "No one but a
citizen," said Mr. Foltz, and when the
applicant had left he became reminis
cent. "Ten years ago, 66 per cent of
the enlisted men of the navy were for
eigners; 20 years ago at least 75 per
cent were foreigners. I remember
when 1 enlisted and fl«|t went aboard
ship, there were but 120 Americans of
a crew of 650. Thirteen different lan
guages were spoken on that ship. Now
it's différent though. None but a citi
zen is accepted in the navy. Declara
tion of intention won't do. We have
to send those fellows to the army."
'And that was a husky lad." he
added. "I would like to have enlisted
him gs a fireman. Those are the kind
of fellows we are looking for—-brawny.
Intelligent chaps."
J. H. STEELE DEAD.
James Henry Steele, formerly s resi
dent of this city, died Friday in Eu
gene, Ore., according to word received
here. He was 71 years old and had
lived in Butte for .30 years. He Is
survived by his wife aud a daughter,
Mrs. K. M. Hawley, aud a son, Dan
Steele of Seattle.

The Long Beach Daily Telegram
says of Montana's float in the pageant:
"The four chief industries of Mon
tana and the state's newly elected
congress-woman. Miss Jeannette Ran
kin, were typified in the float dis
played by the Montanans. Miss Pris
cilla Garvin impersonated the con
gress-woman, and the other young;
women with her were the Misses Mary |
Holt. Elizabeth Wodering. Helena Hed- J
ley and Berthena Selway. Miss Gar
vin was «aid to represent Montana's 1
new political industry.'
"Several automobiles carrying Mon
ere in advance of the Mon
tana float and behind it. One of them
was occupied by the Long Beach Vet- j
«raus' martial band, whose director.
Dr. A. Reed, is from that state. Those |
with him were C. B. Burgoyne, D. S. |
Bales, Andrew Montague. W. D. My-1
ers and Thomas McGlrl."
Mr. Berger in his letter to the Post,
says that there are a great many Mon- I
tanans at Long Beach this year.
"The other day we saw an inspiring
sight." he writes. "It was 11 flying j
machines in a flock. They had made a ;
trip from San Diego to I»os Angeles J
and over Long Beach on their
return trip. They wer« flying in a V
shape with the commanding officer In
the lead, and were so high they looked
like a flock of large eagles.
"About all one hears ln this place
is war. nothing but war. You know
we are only about 140 miles from the
border and the residents are quite ex
cited. solulera on all corners, but the
Montana people do not seem to be
worried.''
