In the humble judgment of a land- lubber such a move would be a mis- take, It would further crowd the compartments, .which are already jammed with a load such as the 27th Division and 1,172 casuals furnished, the wounded on board to and it will necessitate the use for sleeping quarters of deck space which is absolutely needed by the soldiers during the day. Furthermore, there is the eloment of risk to be consid- ered. The inevitable consequences of an accident to the Leviathan with 15,000 men aboard would be unpleasant, to fay the least. True, the Leviathan carried 14,000 all told on one trip eastbound last year, but that was at ®& time when Americans were ure |gently needed in France and |t was necessary to take chances. The time for desperate chances has passed, no matter how clamorous be the de- jmand in the United States to “bring the boys home.” Owing to confusion on the docks at Brest the 27th Division units and the were all mixed up as they came aboard a week ago. The surg- [ing lines of soldiers carrying packs | and guns got out of control and the men swarmed all over the compart- ments reserved for them. It became necc sary to sort them out and Ket them where they belonged. The Leviathan is four city blocks long and half a city block wide, and she is @ floating skscraper, filled with companionways and staircases of varying degre of pitch. Every staircase, passageway and ladder is marked by signs and arrows and pointing arrows and lines are painted along walls. One is reminded by the interior of the Leviathan of the sub- way stations at Grand Central and Times Square. The work of reas: Thursday after the Ls to sea and the waves were reasoi bly high. For many hours all decks of the ship, all open spaces and com- panionwaye were fiiled with fully equipped soldiers, some moving slowly, some stationary, while sweating, wor- ried officers, who knew nothing about the ship, sought to move, for example, a company which had been lodged in Compartment FRS 2 aft to Compart- ment H 12 aft Any soldier who participated that movement wil! tell the folks ot home that he marched further on the Leviathan in two days than marched on any single hike France REMINDS MEN OF GREENWICH VILLAGE. Irritation and ili humor cropped out at first as the men toted their sixty- pound packs upstairs and downstair and forward and back through inter- minable corridors, often passing the same given point three or But the huinorists began to ta trol after a time and funny side of the situation becaine apparent to rybody engaged, and final 1 tment began on athan was oa in hands made a lark of it.

This is an in| The mess call is sounded fifteen min- | corridors in| No, 4 stairway, mentioned in| immense room occupying the’ | floor space us the first class halls above. At the after end of the room six batteries of steam kitchens with steam coffee boiling tanks have been attacked, From these steam kitchens stretch twelve lines of breast high tables extending the length of the hall fore and aft, The men descend the staircase in columns of fours. At the foot they are separated by guards and guided to the steam kitchens. As they pass with mess kits extended they obtain their meals. Here is one served the third day on board: Roast “beef with brown gravy, ‘mashed potatoes, spaghetti, bread aid butter, fresh apple pie, coffee. As the men are’ served they move along the tables, stopping only long enough to eat. As they finish they move forward through a room where |sarbage pails are placed in rows to | receive what is left over. Then they Pass to kettles of boiling, soapy water where they wash their mess kits, The Unes are so controlled that movement along at least six of the twelve tables is practically continu-” ous at all times, With their mess kits cleaned the men move along, up stairways and through corridors, re tracing their way to their compart ments, where they stow their mess Kits. When the corridors are free of | movement they are allowed to go where they please in the portions of the ship allotted to their use. Abandon ship drill is conducted in the same way. When the alarm is sounded the men make all speed to their compartments, where they equip themselves each with a life preserver, a blanket and a canteen filled with water. Then they march, in lines, by Preseribed routes to their stations alongside the lifehoats. WASTE OF FOOD IN FEEDING MEN UNAVOIDABLE. The waste of food connected with feeding the soldiers would make Her- bert Hoover jump overboard, could he but see what ts left over afteneach jmeal, but experts in feeding large bodies of men have worked out the plan, and they agree that the waste jcannot be reduced, The soldiers are fed by the Navy. Every man must have enough to eat. Many eat every jthing they get Others, not feeling quaqite peckish cannot cat half of what is served In some meals the waste runs high in others it is appreciably smaller One evening potatoes boiled served. The de | | ham and cabbage with in the jackets was ert was apple pie The writer observed that three men out of ff falled to eat their potatoes and most of thelr bread, but a ma jority consumed to the last scrap all the ham and cabbage and pie.
