.TRAINING SHIP INSPECTED
Six 'Weeks' Intensive Course of In
struction Aboard Eblp Is Show
ing Good Results Xo Enemy
, Aliens Are Admitted.
Those who availed themselves of the
opportunity to inspect the United
States Shipping Board's training ship
Chippewa yesterday on its arrival from
the West Seattle training station, found
bright lot of young Americans who,
at the rate of about 00 a month, are
beinsr made sailors, firemen, water
tenders, oilers, stewards and cooks, fol
lowing a training period of six weeks.
Of course, the seamen are not given
collegiate degrees, nor are they as
aimed to "black gangs" aboard othe
vessels, but they are said to have vastly
more information and practical experi
ence tucked away than the average man
cleans in the same number of months
aboard an ordinary merchantman.
W. J. Grambs. of the Sea Service Bu
reau In. the Northwest district, formerly
held a commission In the Navy, hav
lng graduated at Annapolis, and he
knows the timber from which sailormen
are made. There are several Portland-
ers aboard the Chippewa, and Mr.
Grambs. who made the trip from Puget
Sound, says there Is not a sluggard in
the crew and that the men are the same
as others enrolled at the station, where
a total of 650 men now are undergoing
training.
HTe Enemy Aliens Aemittem
"No former citizens of Germany, Aus
tria or any country now involved In the
war against the allies are admitted to
the service, said Mr. Grambs. -only
Americans are accepted, and that no
mistake was made In deciding on such
exclusion has been proved, though it is
less than three months since the train
lng ships were started."
The Chippewa has accommodations
for 250 men. The daily work begins at
6:30 o'clock In the morning and ends at
5 o'clock In the afternoon. The men
are allowed to follow their own lnclina-
tions aboard ship until 9:30, when they
. "turn in. All hands were given liberty
here yesterday afternoon, but the week
ly routine provides for liberty only
after chapel Sunday morning and until
11 o clock that night.
On being accepted aboard a training
ship the men are given manuals for ap
prentices that set forth elementary
. work in seamanship and in the engine-
room branches. Each is uniformed elm!
lar to men in the Navy, except that the
trousers have not so much flare. There
are two instead of three stripes on the
collars and the hatbands do not lndl
cate the name of the ship, but merely
the United States Shipping Board.
Training; Is Intensive,
The life aboard takes In knotting,
splicing and other work with rope, also
boxing the compass, boat and fire drill,
cooking, serving and the varied work
In the fire and engine-rooms. Besides
the officers there are 30 instructors
aboard, each having in charge a group
of about 12 men. As it is intensive
training the men are kept going from
the time they rise until dinner. Meals
are made up from menus decided on by
the Food Administration.
Among the men so far admitted there
has been one minister, one prizefighter,
while others are from all walks of life.
Rev. Maurice J. Bywater is chaplain and
he thinks the personnel on ships and at
the station could not be Improved on.
Captain J. Howard Payne is master
of the Chippewa and Guy Kongsee ex
ecutive officer: A. B. Coffett, first offi--cer;
C. C. Garfield, second officer; F. H
Lovejoy, third officer; Dr. D. Henry Mc
Chesney, surgeon: Harold Hemphill,
paymaster; J. J. Goes, chief engineer;
John Hallson, executive engineer; R. E.
Nelson, senior second engineer; John 1a
Reece, second assistant; C O. Ciausly,
third assistant; Q. A. Kent, Junior third
assistant; Harry McKentt, chief stew
ard, and C Phillips, assistant steward.
The vessel will leave here early this
morning on her way back to the sta
tion. Mr. Grambs says that in the next
IS months 12,000 men must be trained
to man the new ships building in the
Northwest and that it may be found
necessary to add a third training ship
to the fleet
there were forwarded . to Astoria by
train 2000 extra cards and certificates.
Until more districts of the state have
sent preliminary reports estimates of
the totals will mean little. Estimates
forecast about one-fourth more than
the Government quota, or a state total
of 100.000. For Portland the agregate
Is held to be more than one-third
above official calculations, or no less
than 35.000. Many Portland precincts
went 100 per cent above quotas, a lew
150 per cent above.

Pease will recommend action on the
