They are still wearing their fine army uni forms and they all know that that uniform Is good for food if they ATA "broke" anv time they make their wants known to the mayor o( any city. They are either ignorant of the workings of the organization they are Joining, or else their minds warned to such an extent that red flag doctrine appeals to them. Hunger and lack of clothing may be, and perhaps are, making Bol sheviks out of many of those in Rus sia, but that condition does not pre vail in the United States today. The trouble is in the head. Just why each of our many states should be compelled to pass legisla tion to protect itself against the red flag Is peculiar and ' rather hard to understand, for should the member ship of that organization "continue to increase at Its present alarming rate, the government will eventually be compelled, anyway, to take a hand in the matter and crush it. mayor serves credit for having the nerve to speak out publicly and denounce what promises well to be a first class Bolshevikl organization. He has warned the legislators and the gov ernor It is now up to them. This soviet or Bolshevik! doctrine may yet prove to be rather disas trous to the United States if meas ures are not taken immediately to check it. It has not only spread from Russia to Germany, but has sent its agents into France, England, the United States and South America. At Buenos Ayres hundreds of peo ple were killed the past few days In riots instigated by Bolshevikl agita tors. Like the Spanish Influenza, the people are slow to arouse to its danger, 'nevertheless it appears to be steadily gaining a foothold in America. - The very title of such an organ ization Is significant and worthy of aHoub consideration: "Workmen's and Soldiers' Council!" Just think of that word "soldiers," and the boys barely out ot the service and still wearing the United States uni form. But it is sate to say - that those soldiers who are flocking to the Bolshevikl organization, as Mayor Baker terms It, are but a few of the boys who are not, and never were, loyal American citizens. They donned the uniform under protest and by force of the draft. Most of them are foreigners who,' Just as soon as they are free from military authority, strike at society and at tempt to drag it down to its lowest strata. What a contrast' they are to ther along tn this letter. We have "had a few good changes j in the ship here lately and I want you to know about them.

He was a h.rn prabbish auv and I'll bet that he bowled himself out at times, too erratic and conceited to be in com mand of any ship.

Liberty was granted rrom a. a m till 10 d. m. and all men on the restricted list were allowed to en ashore from 1 P. m. to 6 p. m. Every one was given special liberty that could Dosslbly be spared. All hands are happy and like, the cap tain the most possible. You know most every ship has a drunk or two nn hoard. One of our Bailors was on the restricted list and went ashore at 1 p. m. He would not drik at all and said that he wanted to show his appreciation to Capt. Dempwolf. There were boxing contests ashore at the seaplane sheds where the U. S. navy has its base.

We got under way the 17th of 'November with the Cythoria and Yamucraw and afU'r some rohgh old seas anchored at ' Alger.

We stayed there until J: 15 p. m., the 23rd of Novom ber. when we got under way and came back to Gibraltar. We have been working In the Med iterranean and using Gibraltar as our base ever since March 8. Dur ing this time wo have escorted 304 ships aud lust 2. That is about the best record of any escort vessel on this side. On the 17 th of May at 6:40 p. m. subs attacked our convoy and hit one ship but did not sink her. We did not find any trace of this sub. At 8:40 p. m. the same day another attack, one ship hit and sunk. Tho V. S. S. Vinetla got on ,, .ot nf the sub and dropped depth charges. A torpedo Just missed our bow by a few feet, so we turned and got on the wake of this sub and from the second depth charge drop ped there were two distinct reports. We were sure that we at least dam aged the sub. At 10 p. m. another attack and one ship hit but floats. When attacked the ships In a con- vov scatter and make it hard for tho escorts to protect them and give the ha a eood chance. On May Iltn at 4 a. m. our convoy was attacked and one shin sunk. No trace ot sub. At 7:25 a. m. same day another at tack but no damage. The V. 3. S vntla not oh the wake of this sub She came to the surface part of Hip in.. n, I nntran the Venetla.

She was the U-39 that aank the Lusltanla. we got part credit for putting her out ot commission. This has been about an of our encounters but we would UK to ave Btink a good many subs. We have been to a good many ports In the Mediterranean, Including vniafranphe. France: Genoa, Italy ; Alaer. Algerls. And in the Atlantic to Tangers, Morocco.

' What the navy- has done in this war is not known to. the public and probably won't ever be known. Tls said that on account of non-puuucuy the U. S. navy is efficient as It is today. It has been termed A iso Talk Navy." The boys in the army, rat everv bit of the credit they get but naturally after seeing so much 1 the paper about the army boys and hi announcements that a certain boy had been killed and then seeing Just a small notice in the papers tnai the U. S. S. Tampa had been sunn with all' hands, It makes a fellow teel a little bit blue. True that some neonie don't realize what, the navy Is doing, but perhaps they will wake up some of these days. Then again a read about all the good times tne fellows in the training stations and army camps are having that It makes na homesick at dimes, reopie oiu not care about the uniform so much when we were in the States the last time and sometimes I think that it will be that way some time after the war is over. It doesn't worry me thnneh as mv friends know what I am. I know sureiy inai momer eoi won't think that I am a drunken rowdy and scum of the earth as one ex-president so nobly expressed It.
