It isn't. It is nil article of luxury, ami

"(Jermany looks rather peaceful

disturbing them bach a ways from the
lines. That Is where an airman's
point of view is defective. The Ger
man hills and fields took as soft as
ours. Probably they are. which Is
not very soft. Any field covered with
grass always looks soft ami you think
It would make a tine landing place.

CHAPTER 1.
In the American Navy,
My fath(. was a seaman, so, nat
urully, all my life I heard a great deal
about ships and the sea. Even when
I wus a little boy, In Walston, Pa., I
thought about them a whole lot and
wanted to he a sailor especially a
sailor In the U. S. navy.
You might say I was brought up on
the water.
When I was twelve yenrs old I went
to sea as cabin boy on the whaler
Therifus, out of Boston. She was an
old square-rigged sailing ship, built
more for work than for speed. We
were out four months on my first
cruise, and got knocked around a lot,
especially in a storm on the Newfound
land Hanks, where we lost our instru
ments, and had a hard time navigat
ing the ship. Whaling crews work on
shares ami during the two years I was
on the Therifus my shares amounted
to fourteen hundred dollars.
Then I shipped as first-class helms
man on the British tramp Southern
down, a twin-screw steamer out of
Liverpool, Many people are surprised
that a fourteen-ycur-old hoy should he
helmsman on an ocean-going craft,
but all over the world you will see
young lads doing their trick at the
wheel. I was on the Southorndown
two years and in that time visited
most of the important ports of Eu
rope. There is nothing like a tramp
Steamer if you want to see the world.
Tlie BOUtherndown is the vessel that,
In the fall of 11)17, sighted a German
U-boat rigged up like Q sailing ship.
Although 1 liked visiting the foreign
ports, I got tired of the Southerndown
after a while am) at (he end of a voy
age which landed me in New York I
decided to get Into the United Stales
navy. After laying around for a week
or two I enlisted and was assigned to
duty as a Becond-Class fireman
People hav
lid they thought I was
pretty small to he a fireman; they
have the Idea thai firemen must be big
men. Well. 1 am 5 feet 7 inches In
height, anil when 1 was sixteen I was
just as tali as I am now ami weighed
108 pounds. I was a whole lot husk-
Gunner Depew.
ier then, too, for that was before my
introduction ti kultur In German pris
on camps, and life there is not exactly
fattenlug not exactly. 1 do not know
why it is, hut If you will notice the
navy flromcn the lads with the red
stripes around their left shoulders
you will find that almost all of them
are small men. But they are a huskv
lot.
Now, In the navy, they always hn.o
a newcomer until be shows that he
can take care of himself, ami I got
mine very soon after I went into Un
cle Sam's service. 1 was washing my
Clothes in a bucket on the forecastle

bucket a fclclc, and spill one or the
both of us. Each time I would move
to some other place, but I always
seemed to be In somebody's way. Fi
nally I saw a marine coming. I was
nowhere near him, but he hauled out
of his course to come up to me and
gave the bucket a hoot that sent it
twenty feet away, at the sume time
handing me u clout on the ear that
just about knocked me down. Now,
I did not exactly know what a marine
was, and this fellow had so many
stripes on his sleeves that I thought
he must be some sort of officer, so I
Just stood by. There was a gold .stripe
(commissioned officer) on the bridge
and I knew that if anything was
wrong he would cut In, so I kept look
ing up at him, hut be stayed where he
was, looking on, and never saying a
word. And all the time the marine
kept slamming me about and telling
me to get the hell out of there.
Finally I said to myself, "I'll get
this guy if It's the brig for a month."
So I planted him one in the kidneys
and another In the mouth, and he went
clean up against the rail. Hut he
came back at me strong, and we were
at It for some time.
But when It was over the gold stripe
came down from the bridge and shook
bands with me I
After this they did not haze me
much. This was the beginning of a
certain reputation that I had In the
navy for fist-work. Later on I had a
reputation for swimming, too. That
first day they began calling me
"Chink," though I don't know why,
and it has been my nickname in the
navy ever since.
It Is a curious thing, and I never
could understand it, but garbles and
marines never mix. The marines are
good men and great fighters, aboard
and ashore, but we garbles never have
a word for them, nor they for us. On
shore leave abroad we pal up with
foreign garbles, even, but hardly ever
with a marine, or course they are
with us strong in case we have a scrap
with a liberty party off some foreign
ship they cannot keep out of u fight
any more than we can but after It
Is over they are on their way at unce
and we on ours.
There are lots of things like that
in the navy that you cannot figure out
the reason for, and I think It Is be
cause sailors change fheir ways so
little. They do a great many tilings
in the navy because the navy always
has done them.
I kept strictly on the job as a fire
man, but I wanted to get Into the gun
turrets. It was slow work for a long
time. 1 had to serve as second-class
fireman for four mouths, Qrst-class
for eight months and in the engine
room as water-tender for a year.
Then, after serving on the U. S. S.
Des Moines as a gun-loader, I was
transferred to the Iowa and finally
worked up to u gun-pointer. After a
time I got my C. P. O. rating chief
petty officer, first-class gunner.
The various navies differ In many
ways, hut most of the differences
would not be noticed by any one but
a sailor. Every sailor has a great deal
of respect for the Swedes and Nor
wegians and Danes; they are born
sailors and are very daring, but, of
course, their navies are small. The
Germans were always known as clean
sailors; that Is, as In our navy and
the British, their vessels were ship
shape all the time, and were run as
sweet as a clock.
There is no use comparing the vari
ous navies as to which is host ; some
are better at one tiling and some at
another. The British navy, of course,
is the largest, and nobody will deny
that at most things they are topnotCn
least of all themselves; they admit
it. ltut there Is one place where the
navy of the United Slates has it ail
ov
sej
every other navy on the seven
ll.!)iL that Is rnunery. Tbe Amer.
lean' navy has the best gunners In
the world. And do not let anybody
tell you different.
CHAPTER II.
The War Breaks.
After serving four years and three
months in the U. S. navy, I received
an honorable discharge on April 14,
1011. I held tbe rank of chief petty
! officer, first-class gunner. It is not
uncommon for garbles to lie around a
while between enlistments they like
a vacation as much as anyone and it
was my Intention to loaf for a few
months before Joining the navy again.
After the war started, of course, I
had heard more or less about the Ger
man atrocities In Belgium, and while
I was greatly interested, I was doubt
ful at lirst us to the truth of the re
ports, for I knew how news gets
changed In passing from mouth to
mouth, and I never was much or a
huud to believe things until I snw
them, anyway. Another thing that
caused me to be Interested in the war
was the fact that my mother was born
in Alsace. Her maiden name, Dier
vleux, is well known In Alsace. I hud
often visited my grandmother In St.
Nazalre, France, nnd knew the coun
try. So with prance at war, tt was
not strange that I should be even
more Interested than many other
garbles.
As I have said, I did not take much
stock In the first reports of the Hun's
exhibition of kultur, because Fritz Is
known us a clean sailor, and I figured
that no real sailor would ever get
mixed up in such dirty work us they
said there wus In Belgium. I figured
the soldiers were like tbe sailors. But
I found out I was wrong about both.
One thing that opened my eyes n
hit was the trouble my mother hud In
getting out of Hanover, where she
was when the war started, and hack
to France. She always wore a little
American flag und this both saved and
endangered her. Without it, the Ger
mans would huve Interned her us a
Frencbwomun, and with it, she was
sneered at und Insulted time und
again before she Anally managed to
get over the border. She died about
two mouths ufter she reached St. Na
zalre. Moreover, I heard the fate of my
older brother, who had made bis home
In France with my grnndmother. He
bad gone to the front at the outbreak
of the war with the Infantry from St.
Nazalre and had been killed two or
three weeks afterwards. This made
tt a sort of personal matter.
But what put the finishing touches
to me were the stories a wounded
Canadian lieutenant told me some
months later In New York. He had
been there and he knew. You eould
not help believing him ; you can nl
ways tell it when a man has been
there and knows.
There was not much racket around
New York, so I made up my mind all
of a sudden to go over nnd get some
for myself. Believe me, I got enough
racket before I was through. Most
of the really Important things I have
done have happened like that: I ilid
them on the jump, you might say.
Many other Americans wanted a look,
too ; there were live thousand Amer
icans In the Canadian army at one
time they say.
1 would not claim that I went over
there to save democracy, or anything
like that. I never did like Germans,
and I never met a Frenchman who was
not kind to me, anil what I heard
about the way the Huns treated the
Belgians made me sick. I used to get
out of bed to go to an all-night picture
show, I thought about it so much.
But there wus not much excitement
about New York, and I figured the
U. S. would not get into It lor a while,
anyway, so I just wanted to go over
and see what it was like. That Is
why lots of us went, I think.
There were five of us who went to
Boston to ship for the other side:
Sam .Murray, lid Brown, Tim Flynn,
Mitchell and myself. Murray was an ex
garby two hitches (enlistments), gun
pointer rating, nnd nbollt thirty-five
years old. Brown was a Pennsylvania
man nbout twenty-six years old, who
had served two enlistments in the U.
S. army and had quit with the rank
of sergeant. Flynn and Mitchell were
both ex-navy men. Mitchell was a
noted boxer. Of the five of us, I am
the only one who went In, got
through and came out. Flynn and
Mitchell did not go in; Murray and
Brown never came bnck.
The five of us shipped on tbe steam
ship Virginian of the American-Hawaiian
line, under American Hag and
registry, but chartered by the French
government. I signed on as water
tender an engine room Job but the
others were on (leek that is, seamen.
We left Boston for St. Nazalre with
a cargo of ammunition, bully beef,
etc., and made the first trip without
anything of Interest happening.
As we were tying to the dock at St.
Nazalre, I saw a German prisoner sit
ting on a pile of lumber. I thought
probably he would he hungry, so I
went down Into the oilers' mess and !
got two slices of bread with a thick
piece of beefsteak between them and
handed It to Fritz, lie would not take
it. At first 1 thought he was afraid
to, but by using several languages and
signs he managed to make me under
stand that he was not hungry had
too much to eat, In fact.
I used to think of this fellow occa-;
slonally when I was in a German pris
on camp, and a piece of moldy bread
tbe size of n safety-match box was
the generous portion of food they
forced on me, with true German hos-1
pltality, once every forty-eight hours, j
I would not exactly have refused a
beefsteak sandwich, I am afraid. But I
then I was not a heaven-born German, j
rvvas only a common American gnrby.
lie was full of kultur and grub; I
was not full of anything,
There was a large prison camp at
St Nazalre, and at one time or an
other I saw all of It. Before the war
it hud been used as a barracks by the
French nrmy and consisted of well
i made, comfortable tWO-Story ttone
buildings, floored with coawete, with
auxiliary barracks of logs. The Gor
man prisoners oceupien uis
buildings, while the French guards
were quartered In the log bouses. In
side, tbe houses were divided Into long
rooms with whitewashed walls. There
was a gymnasium for the prisoners, a
canteen 'where they might buy most
of the things you could buy anywhere
else in the country, nnd a studio for
the painters among the prisoners. Of
ficers were separated from privates
which was a good thing for the pri
vates nnd were kept In houses sur
rounded by stockades. Officers nnd
privates received the same treatment,
however, and all were given exactly
the same rations nnd equipment as the
regular French army before It went to
the front. Their food consisted of
bread, soup, and vino, as wine Is called
almost everywhere In the world. In
the morning they received half a loaf
of Vienna bread and coffee. At noon
they each had a lurge dixie of thick
soup, und at three in the afternoon
more brend and a bottle of vino. The
soup was more like a stew very
thick with meat and vegetables. At
one of the officers' barracks there wns
a cook who had been chef In the larg
est hotel in Paris before the war.
All the prisoners were well clothed.
Once a week, socks, underwear, soap,
towels and blankets were Issued to
them, nnd every week the bnrrncks
and equipment were fumigated. They
were given the best of medical atten
tion. Besides all this, they were allowed
to work at their trades, If they had
any. All the carpenters, cobblers,
tailors nnd painters were kept busy,
and some of them picked up more
change there than they ever did In
Germany, they told me. The musl
cinns formed bunds and played almost
every night ut restaurants nnd thea
ters in the town. Those who had no
trade were allowed to work on the
roads, parks, docks and at residences
about the town.
Talk about dear old jail t You could
not have driven the average prisoner
away from there with a 14-lnch gun.
I used to think nbout them In Bran
denburg, when our boys were rushing
the sentries In the hope of being bay
ouetted out of their misery.
While our cargo was being unloaded
I spent most of my time with my
grandmother. I had heard still more
nbout the cruelty of the Huns, and
made up my mind to get into the ser
vice. Murray and Brown had already
enlisted in the Foreign Legion, Brown
being assigned to the infantry and
Murray to the French man-of-war Cas
sard. But when I spoke of my Inten
tion, my grandmother cried so much
that I promised her I would not enlist
that time, anyway and made the
return voyage In the Virginian. We
were no sooner loaded in Boston than
back to St. Nazalre we went.
