' Bjr Fred Lockley. ' 1 One can get no batter and fairer idea of. actual army, life conditions a they exist at Fort Steven's than bj person ally,, absorbing the atmosphere of the pot ; . - i?iA'; ' To.' this . end I recently spent .the greater part of two days in personal contact' with . tha offloara and : enlisted men at the fort, talked to them, ate at the rau table and talked with civilian employes stationed there. The courte sies were extended tne toy tha officers that X might -judge for myself tha facts Of Fort: Stevens conditions, which ' of late have bean .. subject to much criti cism In published communications from former oMIarst.,;t,:.;:i;;i-:V--'",.v-' At the mid-day . meal a big bowl of rich aoup wa followed by servings of fried salmon and boiled potatoes. That all might be plentifully supplied, the waiters kept ....... busy refilling . plates, serving bread and keeping -the coffee cups filled. A large- serving of , sagd pudding .completed ,. the noon ' meal. There was no excuse for any soldier leaving the table without all he could eat, as the platters of .fried salmon were constantly refilled, as were tha bread plates and potato bowls. - . "Today is Friday, so wa hava fIsV said the sergeant who sat next to me. "Ifesteaday wa had 3 roast beef, v For breakfast wa usually have mush, oof tee, bacon, and eggs, or ham and eggs. It Is a wonder to ma that the papers would publish .'kicks', from ex-soldiers who probably got 'bob-tail' ' discharges, and who are trying to justify , them selves for being let out . of the army without a good record." r" "Any man," aaid a corporal across the table, "who wants to behave himself in the army, can get along. The trouble Is that a lot of young fellows who have been 'spoiled aud pampered join the army, and -when they find that they must tof th' mark and can no longer be waited upon they become Indignant. 10 obey an order promptly and Im plicitly Is degrading to their finer sen sibilities, and imagining they are great ly abused, they dessrt If a man has the right stuff in him and. will stick it out a year, you will very rarely hear any complaint from him." ' . ' "As a matter of fact." continued the first speaker, "the army turns many a fellow who would hava become a hobo Into a self-respecting cltlsen, and sends him from tha army With a good trade. ''--' 'About tha ay. ... .."A man's pay depends very largely upon his own efforts. For example, wa get lis a month, and in addition to this wa receive board and lodging, free hied. leal attendance, clothing, allowance, use of .. tho reading room and' gymnasium, game room and other privileges. Two uuuixm souars a momn wm cover au necessary expenses. A shave here costs 10 cents, a haircut 25 cents. Half of this money goes to tha post exchange, snd oomes back to each company in the form of luxuries not provided by the war department. Laundry bills and barber bills will not run over IS -or II a month, .'so that a thrifty man can aave .114 or 16 a month. 6ome of the fellows who do the moat kicking are the ones who spond all the money they make on boose, gambling and women, If a man wanta to make money In ad dition to his regular salary 'he can very easily take tip some extra work. ,. "Ninety-nine dollars a month Is the highest" wig an enlisted man can draw. With each enlistment additional money Is paid. Sergeant Xisary, who is an electrician sergeant. Is-getting 177 a month. If a man wanta to be a cook or a baker, the government will send him at government expense to the school for cooks and" bakers at tha fro sidlo and five- him a course that : will fit htm for this work. If he prefers to become an olectrician, the govern ment win train him for this work or will allow him to work in tha machine shops, and so. on through the .various lines of work. If a man Is ahy In1 his schooling he osn go to the night school maintained here at the post and brush up in the different studies." After dinner I spent a few ' hours talking with men In their quarters, at the post exchange, In the reading rooms and at their various posts or duty. in the bathhouse back- of tha company mess hall I ran across a private named J. I varner. ,. "Tott don't , look., as . if you - were starved to death," I said.. -- Private Is Contested. , "No," he answered, "1 haven't any kick coming. I put in my spare time working In the garden f Or one of tha officers, and J am also agent for two different laundry companies, 80 that I manage to make about 140 a month. , The officer pays ma 10 cents an hour for my work and I get a commission from the laundry companies" "If a fellow is looking for trouble in the army he can get it," said an other private. "For Instance, you think It is rather hard that a man would ' get a year at hard labor for stealing a pair of shoes or a dollar or two from ; some other soldier, and yet. when 10 or 100 men are living . together with 11 of their possessions where they can ' be readily gotten at by anyone, they must be able-to feel that It Is safe to leave their things around and to know that a "man who steals them, should be given such a severe lesson that he will never be tempted to do "It regain.-;-A man is charged with all of the clothing he draws,' and If some thief steals his ; shoes or some other part of his equip 7 went and sell It to buy booses; he 'doesn't get much sympathy j from; ;,the JL': it A moment or two later 1 met tiaptaln ! XiOng and asked him to take ma out to " the mortar pita and tell me something about the post. At the pits four huge mortars rest on their, turn tables, pro tected by walls of masonry and a hill of earth in front of them. "These mor ftars weigh 14 tons each," said Captain i Jjong, "and counting tha turn table and ; the machinery that operates them, they weigh about 10 tons apiece. They shoot a projectlle.welghlng i960 pounds. jv "It takes 140 men to operate the four mortars to fire one round per minute g from each gun. . They are placed at an '. angle of from 45 to 0 degrees and a child can operate the turn table and (direot . the f lro In any direction. We have two sutlons . about . 1000 yards apart The men In tha stations tele phone the angle of the target or the ship to be fired upon' and the exact location Of tha object Is worked out almost In r etantly on the plotting board. As the target , or vessel prooeeds, tha angle js constantly changing. We ' have eight J sones and In each of them we use a dlf ' f erent powder charge. For example, if a ship was In one of, 4he nearer sones I naturally a projectile would be sent with too great foroe to land on the object. It ' Is a very simple matter to put 1000 pounds of steel in a SO foot target or In ; the vitals of a warship four or five or six miles away. You know the time of flight' of the ; projectile, you have the estimated Bpeed of the boat-at which you are shooting, on the plotting board you nave worked out the exact location so that it is a. mere matter of hlxher mathematics - to- be able to place your shots where you want them. . . i , ' Boms Aoourate Shooting. ' . J "Recently, at -mortar practice at the Presidio, at a distance of five and a half miles, the mortars put 15 out of 20 shots la a 6,0 foot tret.- a( a dls. Unce beyond three and a half miles a morur is mors accurate than a direct "aim gun. Say, however, that you could only put in one shot out of four-where you wanted it. No enemy's fleet could pass A' battery without . being- de stroy ea. ,i ,'- . As we -earn e back from the mortar pit 1 met another soldier. "Do they give you boys a square deal hers?" 1 asked.' "Do who give us a square deal T" he inquired. ' , - "1 ;'- i rt "The -officers. Have you ever been court mariinjear- ' - t , He gave me a rather embarrassed look and said, . "Almost any:, man. : who has served : two or three enlistments has been before, the"1 aummary-iiourt. a. few times for some infraction of the army discipline. They have banded me Jolt occasionally but no more than I have deserved. , Xt a man Mtlu drunk or If he does . something else against tha regulations he expeeis to' get pun ished.' Possibly some of 1 the younger army officers who have just come from West Point are more strict than', those who have handled men for long" time, but It Is tha rare exception rather than the .'rule for a man to get the worst of It in tha army." At the hospital Captain Macey, the surgeon, ; took me through the various wards and through all the different de partments. -Jn tne army, when a man meets with an accident, bis pay does not stop as it does in civil life. Not only does his pay go on, hut the best of surgical attention and nursing Is given him as well as all medicines and everything else necessary, without ex pense. Here for example, is a young man whose arm is in splints and who is getting along very nicely. He broke his arm. in a game of baseball a week or two ago." ' - -. ii ' . From the hospital we went to tha mortuary chapel. . A flag draped casket was in tha center of the room. Taking off the? cover of : the casket Captain Macey showed ma a soldier In full dress uniform. . "This Is Sergeant Uuin Btelnel." said Captain Macey. "He' died of Brlghfs-disease. ; In two months more ho would have retired as ha has served 31 years and 10 months. He was a German and an excellent soldier. He has over 111,000 deposited with the war department drawing 4 per cent in terest His wife has asked that be be burled in Florida. The government sends him there at government ex pense and If requested, an attendant is sent with him; He has been embalmed and the government will not only bury him at Its expense, giving mm a mili tary funeral with full military honors, but wlU erect a tombstone and maintain tha grave." . A little later, in tne ornco.oi tne commanding officer of the poet. Colonel Straub, I learned many additional ae tails relative to Fort Stevens, one of the officers being my informant Facts About tha Fort. "There are three companlee of Coast Artillery stationed at Fort Stevens," hs said. "The Thirty-fourth, .of which Captain J. A. Berry is captain, with J. E. Townee Jr., first lieutenant, and S. W. Sparry, second lieutenant; the ltfinatv.thini Mimnanv In commani ot Captain J. I Long, the first and second lieutenants being a. isorcon ana u. a.

L Straub is the commanding officer. There are 14 men In each of the companies mi if vou will watch them at their infantry 'and artillery drill, you will find they are a fine, soldierly and well drilled lot of men. -Interviews with a number of the men, personal Investigation of the kitchens, rrinntan. store rooms.' dining rooms. amusement hall, bowling aUey and read ing rooms, leads me to conciuae mac the reports that the men at Fort Stev ens are not sufficiently fed and that .h. tnnA ta not well Dre Dared are with out foundation. A sergeant of one of tha companies told me that the govern ment allows a oertsin amount of rations ths cost varying with the contract price of the supplies. Just now. It is arouna 37 cents a day per. man. - "When you remember that there is no cost whatever for cooking, servlcO or any -of the other expenses Incident to civil life." said a sergeant, "you will realise that men can be fed for that amount Frequently, in hotels and res taurants. It tha meat la a Uttls tainted or if ths fiah Is a little stale, the ma terials are used Just the same You get your tainted meat and your cold storage chicken in the. form of stews disguised with sauce. In the army no questionable food -is sccepted. -It la m-nmntiv condemned. If It should slip by ths impaction otfloer, the mess ser geant or company coon " r .tuntinn af tht officer of the company and a board would be called to review It na condemn it" "If a man oomes into the army for a snap ha ia making a mistake, aald one of tha soldlera. "If he comes into the army willing to drill, do t his work promptly and neatly and obey orders, he isn't going to have any trouble" COMMISSIONS NAMED BY GOVERNOR LISTER .

Free, if He Is Allowed to :Turn Waste Fruit, Vegeta bles Into Denatured Product 1 WaablD(toa Bureaa of The Journal. . Washington, July '12. Senator Lane has discovered what .the country need Not absolutely free, hut relatively; free of unnecessary - cost to the pro ducer, and he hopes that every farmer shall in time become a producer. v " Nocv it is' hoped that the white rlo boners will . not throw up "their hands and start out to, make protest until the matter can be set forth more In detail. It is not the alcohol used to put the "lick in liquor . that Senator Lane ret fers to,- but he has in mind ths ordinary, common or garden variety which can be distilled from the weeds and vegetable rubbish on any farm Into the denatured sort that can be used to run motor cars or for many other purposes, and in the end aid to whittle down that bogey of the age, the high cost of living. The government went Into this sub ject of denatured alcohol very ab strusely i few years ago, and the de partment of agriculture was considera bly enthused over the possibilities of profit to the agriculturist. . Congress got Imbued with enough of the enthu siasm to pass a law which was sure, Its proponents said, to result in a still on every quarter section, with the re sult of utilising fallen spples and chick weed and potato parlnga and corn cobs, et hoc genus omne, aa they say at school, by extracting from them the spirit of the things : that cheer and sometimes do more than that. . , Octopus Still At Zt The emancipation of the honest sari- culturlst waa visualised by the solons who, in truth, have a real, honest af tection for the aforesaid H. A., and a great aeai was said aooul tne won ders that denaturised aloohol would accomplish in turning the wheels of industry and putting a crimp in the tentacles of the octopus. ; But there's me run. xne octupus is still octupus ing, and It was that selfsame octopus. according to Senator Lane, that tfe- naiurea tne denatured aloohol bill. How was it done? Why it was so sim ple aa to make an experienced octoous. wise In the ways of legislation, snigger until u reit coiiicky with emotion. It was simply, Senator Lane says, by fix ing up the regulations governing the extraction or tne tanglefoot essence from various unconsidered trifles of tha vegetable kingdom so that it would be too expensive for any small operator to run a aenatured aicohoi still at all. "The Standard Oil outfit triumphed," said Senator Lane, speaking of this sad affair, "by making the cost of federal inspection of such stills so costly that they couldn't be run. An Inspector aV (5 a day of eight hours, or $l& a day of 24 hours, would be too heavy a bur den for any farm still to bear. And the stuff turned out couldn't be used at that without being refined, because it is too acrid or somathlna: anywav it couldn't be taken internally unless it might be by an Indian. And it might sena mm to ins nappy bunting grounds. Gives Use for Waste Trait. "I have spoken to the finance com. mittee and the Democratic cauous about it, and they declared that It sounded good to them. Take Oregon; we are putting out so much fruit, especially apples, that it is likely to be a drug on the market in a tew years, and even If selected fruit meets with a good sale there are always the eulls and wind falls and runty potatoes, and so on, which could b worked up into alcohol. Why. in Germany , they grow potatoes to make Into alcohol.
