HIS in a real account of life aboard
an American truiiHport, written
by a private who Is now "some
where in Europe." it is nil very well
for the accredited correspondent, who
cross le I ue, to send buck a .cheery
i message to the effect that, except for a
few cases of mumps, a pleasant time
i was hail hv all, hut, if you want to know
i ...
what transport lid; is really like you
, must ask it private who bus lived it in
' the bowels of u converted liner, medi
i tilled upon It in the long, trampiil hours
of midtiitrht sentry duly and jotted It
I down in his optimist ie, freshly acquired
j diary between exercise ami boat drill,
! between mess ami boat drill, between
' Inoculation and boat drill. Here, then,
! are some tirief note?) of life aboard a
nameless American transport which Net
nail from an American port some time
i in August to cross n certain widely
known im-chii, says tho New York
! Times. ;
We foregathered from the four quar
ters of the United States, nicotinic for.
the first time ill the pier, as, weighted
down umler our equipment, hawiessed
in our blanket roils and staggering tin- j
der (air bulging barrack hugs we toiled ,
slowly up. (lie formidable gangways. !
We all looked pretty much alike that
day, and it was not. until we had put;
out to sea and the swarming hive and
settled down under the subduing pres
sure of strict military' discipline that
any one of. ns could realize what an ex
traordinary miscellany of men had come -
aboard.
Some of Those on Board.
Those lean fellows lounging there at
tho base of the rigging are unmistak
ably cowboys and probably from Okla
homa; standing against the rail beside
them a student of Matisse Is talking
wllli a wealherbeaten trainer of prize
fighters; the lie tor who enchanted New
York with his brilliant and fastidious
performance of the Daffodil In "The
Yellow Jacket" is now, with equal
skill, charging along the promenade
deck, leading a small squad armed
with brooms to clean out the gutter.
That man washing his mess tin in
some no longer useful dishwater Is
smoking u Union League club cigarette
In his own. right and bestowing one, ap
parently, on an' ex-elevator boy of his
acquaintance. 'Way forward on the
forecastle deck, their heads silhouetted
against the twilit sky, a group of
Princeton boys are singing "Forward
March" much as they sung it lust full
In tho Palmer stadium .back- home.
There are some men reading iu whnt
is left of tho afternoon sunlight. One
has a small copy of "Fluent French
Phrases," or some such treatise, by
which lie Is Invading for the first time
the mysteries of "je suls, tu es and 11
est." Next to him a man Is poring over
the last issue of Breezy Stories, and
the man beyond Is deep In Browning's
"The Ring and the Book." You never
can tell. And when the lights go down
and the hush falls on the ship they
break into little groups to. whisper of
this or that, to talk of the American
league, of thoosophy, of addresses or
any subject under the sun except the
war. That they leave to those who are
on the outside looking In. '
They have till weathered the voyage
well, philosophically net'ing down tho
limitations on their comforts to the
.exigencies of a great country In a still
greater hurry. Some grumbling there
Is, to bo sure, but It Is a little like the
grumbling of boys at boarding sclnxil
-when for the seventh consecutive day
It is prunes again for breakfast.
No Smoking After Sundown.
Of course there have been bitter bard
ships. It Is a bitter ' lardshlp, for in
stance, to have to slop smoking at sun
down, but It would nev,er do to have a
thousand or so of cigarette tips glowing
awny until the dim gray transport took
on the a Ir of n golden galleon.. It is a
bitter hardship also for some to go
merely as members of an Impromptu
jazz band to the dances where the offi
cers and nurses foot It neatly In the
main saloon. But, greatest privation
of all, you are sternly forbidden aboard
n transi)rt to yell excessively at the
hushed boxing mutches between the en.
glneers and n hospital corps, say. You
may not join In the leathern limbed
cries by which one naturally expresses
one's emotions in such an hour, You
are not allowed to roar out, "Paste hiiu
watijn the puss!' or, at least, not too
many of yon nt once. You may not even

mess unless the duy be rainy, supple
menting the regular fare with such deli
cacies as they cau find at the canteens
aboard or as they may have smuggled
on, deep down In the burrack bags.
On deck, also, the men bathe. At least
In one transport they bathe on deck,
emerging at chill sunrise to dance un
easily In front of a streaming hose
wielded by a deckhand, whose rich re
ward for liis trouble is the pleasure of
tilling with salt water the occasional
shoes left carelessly wlthiu his reach.

It's Horrible
You're bilious, sluggish, consitlpated

Here's my guarantee! Ask your

Take calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak and sick and nau

a spoonful of harmless, vegetable

wake up feeling great. It's perfectly
harmless, so give it to your children

them eat anything afterwards.
THRICE-A-WEEK. EDITION OF ' .
NEW YORK WORLD IN 1918
The value and neied of .a newspa
per in ' a . household was never great
T than at the presiemt time. We
have their organizations to perfect enclave been forced to enter the great
route, and In the quondam smoking j world war, a large army of. tours is
room of happier days there can now j already in France. You wlli want to
be heard the click of many typewriters, j have an the news from our troops' on
Then there is the big business of keep- j European battteieHds. and 1918 nrom-
lug the troops t'od and of keeping them
and the ship herself clean. There is
plenty of work to do, between boat
drills and lnoruhttions,
But it is not all work. There are
amusements a plenty mostly cards.
There are some rat tier frenzied games
of craps and banker and broker, ac
companied by bent heads, groans,
curses and heat hellish incantations.
Or, rather, I hero were such games until
word of Iheui went ulolt and there
came down tin -ominous. order forbid
ding all gambling of any kind. Then
there are rubbers of bridge, played
with the understanding that the win
tiers will dine some time at the ex.
pen e of the losers at some boulevard
cafe somewhere iu France. There are
tournaments, too, of bridge and pin
ochle, leading toward prizes offered by
the commanding officer. It is no easy
thing, by the way, to play cards with
the deck as a table when the wind is
taking such' an Interest in the game
that it is madness to let a card out of
your hand for a moment. Just when
you have bid no trumps you are likely
suddenly to lose three aces and an un
guarded king.
Then there are entertainments work
ed up for the hour before sunset. A
group of volunteer vocalists is likely
to assemble any evening in t lie for
ward spar deck and burst into song.
Last night it may have been a min
strel show given by the two hospital '
units. The night before it was a vau
deville bill with every artist a gradu
ate nurse a triumphant success, by
the way, with gumdrojfs and cigarettes
-thoughtfully provided' for the sentries
who could not come. For those who
could come there waft, among other
things, one hilarious number that bur
lesqued the officers at morning exercise.
Every Group Has Its Mascot.
There should tie a paragraph, too,
about the pets, for every group has its
' mascot. There are some amiable bull
dogs In sight nt times, a wisp of a gray
'kitten and mi absurd morsel of a puppy
variously known as liberty and Gum
drop who have added much to thegay
cty of the village by learning to walk
for the first time on a rolling deck.
Cut best of all, some of us think, is
Hardware, the mascot of a certain base
hospital, which was smuggled aboard
by the simple device of drugging her
mildly and carrying her on asleep in a
haversack,'' When the Saratoga was
rammed for some of those aboard bad
originally set sail on timt luckless old
craft tho French cook, who had kept ft
fatherly eye on Hardware In camp,
went calmly to the depths of the ship
to rescue "le petit cbien do bonne au-gure,'-
t Hardware appears to have en
joyed her second voyage, and yet there
must have been times when the mili
tary life palled somewhat, for there
are two charges df attempted suicide
ngnjnst her. Each time she plunged
from her bunk, only to dangle gasping
by her chain until the French cook,
pausing in the midst of his shaving or
iu the midst of a song by Massenet,
would rush forward crying: ."Mon Dleu,
mon I)ie-ul 11 faut garder la morale."
So it goes between boat drills. Of
these there are many, and they come
so often that when the day arrives to
don life preservers and keep them on
for the rest of the voyage the familiar
signal brings every man to his post in
a few moments. Those who are as
signed to rafts rather than to lifeboats
are allowed to make themselves gro-.
tesqne and bulky iu the celebrated life
saving suits. When, In the early hour
before sunrise, a procession of these
strangely clad, heavy footed beings ap
pears In the ghostly half light, it re
sembles nothing In the world quite so
much as the entrance of the gods In
'The Gods of the Mountain."
And from our post by boat or raft,
though the tension may have been vis-;
lbly Increased by tho alarms of those
lit. ....... .. m .

in the ' history our universe.
