THE HERMISTON
Playtime With Men of the Navy
What Happens When Several
Hundred Jackies Are Turned
Loose for Shore Liberty.
MAKES FOR THE ‘HAPPY SHIP'
Liberality of Private Citizens Has
Given Men of the Fleet a Big Ath-
letic
Field for Their
Recreation.
With the United States Atlantic
Fleet.—It Is two bells In the afternoon
watch when the shrill trill of the
bos’n’s whistles are heard piping the
crews of the mighty dreadnoughts to
the rails and the sing-song cries of
the bos’n's mates carry out over the
water, "Liberty party to muster.”
This is the summons given three
times each week to the men of the At­
lantic fleet to take their hours of recre­
ation on the immense athletic field pro­
vided for them by the Navy league.
By the hundreds, on every battleship
and cruiser, the youthful, white-uni-
formed Jackies come rushing on deck
to form Into line for the liberty in­
spection.
Two long white lines form on deck
and every man stands rigidly at atten­
tion while officers pass along marking
the appearance of each one. Their uni­
forms are spotlessly white. Their shoes
freshly blackened. Off come their lit­
tle round white caps to show that their
hair is closely cropped. No visitor to
the fleet falls to be struck, when he
views that Une at inspection, with the
extreme youth of the men, their Intelli­
gent faces and happy, smart appear­
ance. The average age appears to be
less than twenty years and many of
them seem barely to have passed their
eighteenth birthday on the date of
their enlistment. From every state In
the Union they hail and thousands of
them from the farms of the middle
West. A collection certainly of Amer­
ica’s finest gathered on the deck of a
floating fortress to form the first line
of the nation’s defense.
the Income It usually had for Its ath­
letic fund from the Guantanamo can­
teen and the Navy league of the Unit­
ed States offerer to lay out a field for
the men of the fleet. In all about 115
acres have been obtained. The ground
has been leveled, plowed and prepared.
Ten baseball diamonds have been laid
out. Docks were built at the water’s
edge. A bathing beach was cleared.
The officers of the fleet also were pro­
vided with tennis courts and a golf
course. Every sort of sport is found
there. The result Is that every man
on the fleet has plenty of healthy out­
door sport and the officers of the fleet
say that this provision or their recrea­
tion has done much to provide “happy
ships” In the fleet as It waits for the
opportunity to strike a blow at the
Huns in defense of civilization and
freedom.

A Swiss newspaper corre-
spondent who recently visited
Klei says the German subma-
rines of the latest type are
cruisers of 2,000 or more tons,
with a radius of action of thou-
sands of miles. At least four
of these new U-crutsers have
already been built, and several
others will be completed this
summer.
The
submersible
cruisers
have several batteries of six-
Inch guns and three torpedo
tubes. Their speed is said to
be over 20 knots per hour on
the surface and 12 knots sub-
merged. Each one of the ves-
seis has a crew of more than
100 men.
An Important feature of the
new monster submarines Is that
they have noiseless motors. Af-
ter diving they move silently
through the water and their
presence cannot be detected by
an enemy ship even with the
finest instruments.

One of the worst forest fires to oc­

put under control Wednesday by a
crew of men working under John

was done about 40 acres of timber was
destroyed.
The first federal farm loan in Lane

The amendments provide for a system

Reports received from growers in
Marion county indicate that great
numbers of pickers will be needed to
handle the berry crop this year. While
many growers report that their labor
demands have been taken care of,
scores need pickers. The crop is esti­

Douglas fir, according to Forest Exam­

Eugene recently, after supervising the
planting of 302,000 trees this spring.
About 680 trees were planted to the
acre. The work of replanting was be­

was approximately 1,500,000 boxes.
