Opportunity for American Motor Boat- men to Give the Country the Benefit of Their Specialized Knowledge and Experience. these tities or to earn this money, that position: Profiting by the experience gajned| The printed circular issued by by Great Britain in her two year war- fare against German submarines, the United States navy has given orders for the construction of a large fleet of motor boat submarine chasers. These boats will be built with all possible speed in navy and private yards, and come of them should go into commis- sion in June. Before they can go-into service, howsver, the navy must rfe- cruit the officers to command them, and as. there is an ineufficient number of Annapolis graduates to supply the giants of the fleet—let alone the DIg- mies, for which these gentlemen have an underserving contempt—the call has gone forth to the motor boatmen and seafaring men of this country to enroll in the naval reserve. So it is that if you who read this have achieved efficiency in piloting & motor boat you stand a mighty g0od chance of taking equal rank and re- ceiving equal pay with mdn who have gone through the long course at our naval academy. The need for you— ur friends—is vital, and the navy has opened recruiting stations in all of the big seaboard cities to expe- dite you renrollment. If you have had praciical experience in handling and navigating motor boats, you are eligi- le for service in Class 4 of the naval coast defense reserve, and if you can catisty the enrolling officer of your ability to command men and keep your head 1in an emergency, the chances are that you will be given equal rank of first lieutenant, with @ monthly salary in time of war of $200; while if your merits seem exceptional you may be given the billet of lieu- tenant commarder with a wartime salary of $260.

CONNECTICUT COLLEGE NEWS. Dean Cross of Yale Addressed Stu- dente—Five Thousand Pine Trees to be 8¢t Out on Campus. e, Dean Wilbur L. Cross of the Yale Graduate School addressed the stu- dents of the college at weekly con- vocation heid on Tuesday at 11 o'clock. The subfect of the address was Books That Girls 6f the Eighteenth Century Used to Read. Dean Cross reviewed mmfinm‘wtm'm'f" ner, speaking especial OF Tess. of ‘the DIUBervilles an'a typs of spl character delineation; the quaint humor and wit of Thaokeray, and replace it with the open wire fence. The article is entitled One Act of Simple Justice. It follows: By way of_introduction to, at least, one attempt fo one act of justice to a chief ensineer of a fire department, who months ago started a movement which is only now gathering force in some of the largest cities of the coun- try, notably, New York, Philadelphia and some other centers of great popu- lation, I call your attention to the ar- ticle in the July issue, 1815, of The Fire Engineer, by one of the finest of men and ablest of fire engineers, Wes- ley N. Avery of Worcester, Mass., which was headed, Fire Prevention, as Seen Through a Wire Fence, and that article covered the subject in a very masterful manner. The seeds that were sown then by Chief Avery are only now. beginning to bear fruit and civic bodi®s are wak- ing up to the truth of the conclusion as_shown so ably by Chief Avery. ingham Memorial. The officers for the new organization were elected and in- stalled by Mrs. Maud Ford of Milford, Conn., and her staff of officers, as fol- lows: Mra. Beile Curtiss of Bridgeport, as senior vice; Mrs. Mary Benjamin of Mystic, as chaplain; Mies Nellie Smith of New London, as treasurer: Mrs. Laura Geer of Mystic, inspector:; Mrs. Edith A. Keeney, council mem- ber, New London; Mrs. Effie Topping, secretary, New London; Mrs. Adelaide West, -as guide, New London; Mrs. Edith @ireene, Bridgeport; Mrs. Lena Edgerton of New London, as musician; Mrs. Elveina Bowker of New London, color bearer; Mrs. Ada Sweet, New London, color bearer; Miss _Annie Gilbey, New London, color beare: Mrs. Laura Geer, Mystic, color beare: . The organization will be known the Clara Barton tent, No. 7, and the officers elected and installed were: Mrs. Mabel E. George, president; Mrs. Lillian E. Brewster, senior vice; Miss Eliot and Charlotte Bronte as typlcal writings of the perfod. As sugges- tions for reading, Dean Cross referred the students to Sir Walter Scott's pic: turesque _romances, Jame _Austin’s novels, Mrs. Ann Radcliffe’s Gothic Romances, and the inimitable novels of Richardson and Fielding, the two latter being referred by Dean Cross as the “two greatest novelists of the 18th century. Dean Cross concluded his address with a reading from Alonza and Me- lias, scenes of which are lald in New London. Art League Exhibit.

The Evening Sth of New York: Dr. Esther Cary, head of the French Anything with so many bad points and so few uses as the high board fences in the rear of New York tene- ment houses ought to go. The idea is not new but the present determined efforts, to get action deserves hearty. support. Paul D. Cravath, chairman of the tenement house committee of the Charity Organization Society, has given out this statement of the rea- sons fomseeking to abolish the fence A constant fire danger, an excellent hiding place for thieves, an encour- nzement to the accumulation of rub- bish, quickly weather worn and trans- formed into an eyesore, the board fence makes tenement yards worse than" useless. Children find them un- attractive to play in: they are no in- centive for planting srass and flowers; thev detract from the tenant's supply of light and air, and are in every was nndesirable. With the change to metal | fences tenement vards will become at- tractive playgrounds for children, will enconrage competition among tenants in leeping the premises clean, and in on will allow the light and air to circulate freely. 'The use of metal fences in tenement vards should do more to solve the problem of provid- ing play space for children than any movement that has been undertaken in_vears. “The campalgn wiil begin with a peaceful pilgrimage of persuasion to the owners of all apartments and ten- ements and to architects and builders. A good deal ousht to be accomplished in this way. The advantages of the open wire fence where barriers are needed will be strongly urged. Tene- ment House Commissioner John J. Murphy has expressed himself strong- ly in favor of the movement. “We are prepared, however, for vio- lent opposition' to this attempt at re- form. No doubt a petition will be eir- culated demanding that the whole Qquestion be decided by a referendum of the Thomas cats, which will be most affected by a debacle of their throne or stage or highwa Ts it not clearly evident that the ini tiation of this movement lies with Chief Avery, and that to the @fstm- guished chief engineer of the fire de- partment of Worcester, Mass., belongs the credit, and it is not a iittle one cither, of ‘having started a movement which should have been taken up, dis- cussed, passed upon, and promulgated o all cities of the United States and Canada by the International Associa- tion of Fire Ehsineers? We are a patient lot, we firemen, and “sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.” I can look back and see that the great majority, if not nearly all, of the improvements which have been made in fire prevention methods, in fire protection and _extinguishing methods have orlginated with fire en- gineers, but seldom indeed is it that 1 can see where any fire engineer or his association have ever received or ask- ed_credit. We have been coi®=nt and still are far too much contented to be satisfled with our own knowledge of duty well done, of service eagerly given, but this attitude of ours is a wholly wrons one. If we claim the things that are due us, we will be in @ much better position to do other and even better things for which due will be given us. It is our failure as an organized body of fire engineers to inform the pub- of the result of our actions, our ideas, our deliberations, which in a very large measure puts a clamp. on us and reduces our efficiency by con- fining our ambition and by preventing that which Is every man’s due, a prop- er recognition of the value of his work. Here is one case, and one of thous- ands of cases, where a chief engineer has had a thought, has further had ]'the 200d sense and good judgment to / the general regulations governipg this body, it would appear that the naval authorities had gone out of their way to make membership in it désirable for the busy, responsible and patriotic men of our nation. A man is enrolled and in that time ke may, i put in three monthe’ active service, either in_ periods of iwo weeks or in_cne three months’ session However, he is not required to put in this active service, and it is not con- sidered that he shows a lack of pa- triotism by failing to do o, while any member may voltintarily and honora- bly withdraw in peace time before the expiration of his four years. In time of war, of course, it is another mat- ter. In the present state of things, when many new conditions prevail, and when officlals must accustom them- selves to performing new duties, it is impossible for an applicant to the na- val reserve to find out just what will be Ms work upon the declaration of war. According to his capabilities, however, he may ask for engine room or deck ‘duty, and it is possible that if he wishes the latfer he will be given a choice of two or three positions. For instance, one_of the first men to enroll at the New York station this week (a college graduate who had had non- professional experience aboard motor boats of various sizes) wa¥ asked Whether he would prefer the rank of lieutenant commander at some naval base, ensign on a coast defense vessel or boatswain's mate on one of the 110- footers Which are being built. He was given to understand that service on one of these latter vessels might take him into the thick of the European fighting, an dsc he accepted the laet- named (subordirate) rank. Whether or not he will see such service is en- tirely uncertain. It is not at all un- Jikely that a weeding out process will be effected later, and that men who bave been given the rank of ensign and have thought themselves entitled to command 60-foot patrol boats will ind themselves doing clerical duty out of sight of sait water. Such men must accept their fate as one of the fortunes of war. Most boatmen will wish to enroll for service in the waters with which they are most familiar, and it is in their home waters that'they will be of the greatest value to the navy. In this matter as well the applicant is asked to state his preference, and most men who have enrolled in New York, for example, have asked for duty in the Third naval district, which embraces the waters between Barnegat, N. J., and New London, Conn., and include: “he south shore of Long Island. Their normal duties in these waters will embrace those of harbor patrol, mine fleld patrol, coast patrol. laying mines, sweeping for enemy mines, operation against enemy submarines, co-opera- tlon with submarines and aircraft, co- operation with land forces, and des- patch service. Most applicants under- stantd, however (and all should), that once “the federal oath is taken the members of the reserve are absolutely subject to orders, and that should they be told to leave their home waters and patrol the canal or the North Sea, there will be no_course open for them but to obey. This Is another of the fortunes of war. for the for w©) So of at- in or 1ay this thought before his profession and where that thought, plainly, has been adopted by citizen bodies and is being used, not as Chief Avery intend- ed it should be, but still being used by other than fire chiefs without one particle of recogmition on the part of the public that firemen are serving their people in a hundred different ways of which the people never know.
