9,000 MEN ON LEVIATHAN, NAVY DEPARTMENT PLAN, ILL BE MENACE 10 LIFE + | Increasing Capacity of Transport Monster, Now Overcrowded With 10,000 Men Aboard, Might Result in a Great Sea Tragedy — Health Conditions Even Now Intolerable. By Martin Green. Tn accordance with orders issued by the Navy Department at the sug: gestion or by command of the Troop Transport Division of the War De. partment, the transport Leviathan, which brought part of the 27th Division home, is undergoing alterations designed to enable her to accommodate 26,000 men on her next trip from Brest to Hoboken, The writer, who travelled with the 27th on the Leviathap, echoes the opinion of army and mavy officers conversant with transport conditions, in protesting against THE EVENING WORLD, SATURDAY, MAROH How Leviathan’s Decks Are Piled With Life Rafts Now; What Would Situation Be With 15,000 Troops? the proposed increase in the carrying The protest grounds: First—The Leviathan, carrying ap- Proximately 10,000 troops in campart- Ments, 2,000 crew and the officers of the army forces, was crowded on the last trip to the limit of her accom- modations, Becond—It is absolutely essential in is based on the interest of health and morale that the troops, quartered at night below decks in an atmosphere necessarily foul, shall have opportunity to spend all daylight the decks, weather permitting, and the deck @pace for this purpose is inadequate With 10,000 men on board Third—In caso of disaster, which would lead to the necessity of aban- doning ship, it would be next to im- Possible to get 10,000 soldiers and 2,000 crew off the Leviathan in lifeboats @nd on rafts, and there is no room on the Leviathan for additional life boats and rafts which would be of any use in an emergency. WOULD MENACE HEALTH OF ALL ON BOARD, Fourth—It is only by the exercise of extreme vigilance and rigid inspec- tions and tLe enforcement of arbi- trary sanitary rules that the spread of infectious disease can be prevent- | edon the Leviathan under condi- tions attending the transport of 10,- 000 soldiers. Influenza is prevalent on all transports, diphtheria is a constant menace. Half of one of the open decks on the Leviathan during the ast Voyage was utilized as a hos- pital for pneumonia and tuberculosis patients. With 15,000 men on board It would be impossible to enforce the rules and regulations which now en- ‘able the overworked medical authori. hours on ties of the ship to control, in a great measure, the health of the men tu their care. Fifth—While there js little danger of the Leviathan encountering cond!- tions which would cause her to sink at sea, the fire menace is continual- ly present, and the ship would be so crowded with 15,000 soldiers aboard, as to appreciably hamper the effec- tiveness of the fire-fighting facilities. ties. Bixth—The parents and wives of poldiers who went to France to fight have the right to expect that their eons and husbands shall reach the} United states in the condition of phy-| sical fitness guaranteed by the medical forces at the port of dobarkation, Overcrowding of transports will dis- count these expectations, Now, to go !uto some details as to the objections, Take the matter of lodgment of troops in sleeping quur- ters. Troops on the Leviathan sleep in what are called “standee” bunks, The bunks are mado fast in four-deep tiers to uprights of hollow pipe, The canvas cot of the man occupying the lower bunk is only a few inches from the floor. A fat man in the top bunk, by lying on his back and taking @ deep breath, can touch the deck above him with his abdomen. The distance from the base to the tip of the sup- porting columns of the “stander bunks is about nine feet. Allowing for the space between the bottom bunk, and the floor, each of the four soldicrs | pending on where | men | parison, to the population of Palisade, capacity of the Leviathan. these @—$——— below decks. Inasmuch as the top bunk, on the four-tler plan, is al- ready so close to the ceiling that the occupant must ease himself in head first from the foot, or feet first from the head, his entrance method de- he goes in the status of that bunk, in relation to the supporting posts, cannot be changed. Therefore a bunk for an additional man must be inserted below the man jon top. Necessarily the man in the bottom bunk must sleep on the concrete or fron floor with nothing between him and the floor but a thin strip of enn- vas and a blanket. The man above him | Feats, practically, upon his body, and so on up to the top man, who has nothing above him byt the steel sur- face of the deck The space devoted on the old Vaterland to a swimming pool is to be boarded over and turned into a seven-bunk high compartment. In order to allow the men on the top of the seven row bunks in this compart- ment to go to bed, it will be necessary to build platforms alongside the bunk spaces, from which they can roll into! thelr sleeping quarters. The ventila- tion in this section of the ship is not | of the best, and it has not heretofore been used for troop lodgment pur- | Poses. Latrines and washrooms on the Le- viathan insutticient even now. This prime factor in the care of men must be enlarged 50 per cent. to care for an increase of 50 per cent. in the carrylng capacity of the ship, Every foot devoted to latrine and washroom Purposes below decks must be taken away from sleeping quarters, It {s only necessary in this connection to say that one coming out of the open air into a latrine space on the Li than in the early morning hours on the last trip had no desire to repeat the experience—but the men au tered below de: rines provided. With 10,000 men quartered on the boat it is possible to make a distri- bution which will enable all who are not on guard or special details tu sleep at night. The addition of 5 equal, for the purpose of com- ks must use the la N, J.—will require division of sleeping time Into shifts, The same bunk must | be occupied by two men, each sleeping in it for a minimum of eight hours. The utilization of sleeping quarters for more than one man to a bunk Is forbidden by law, in the interest of public health, in the commonest slum lodging houses in the cities of the United States. To accommodate 15,000 men on the Leviathan it will be necessary to board in deck spaces now used for exercise and rest purposes, Look at & photograph of the Leviathan as ahe appeared coming up the bay Wednes- day. Note the open spaces between the after derrick and the bridge on the two decks below that on which you see the lifeboats. These are the decks open to soldiers in the daytime when there are 10,000 on board. With & load of 16,000 men these open decks will be inciosed.

Two thousand of the 27th Division are back in Camp Mills to-day after twenty-four hours at home, and an equal number have been given passes for the first visit to thelr families since the boys sailed for France to break the Hindenburg line. An they leave the camp the soldiers are greeted by a crowd that keeps up an all day vigil acrosa the street from the main entrance. Each man's appearance ts the signal for cheers, and one or more in the crowd break through and hurries to caress blushing hero, The Hostess House near the gate is the Mecca for thousands of mothers and sweethearts, notified by long dis- tance telephone that their soldier boy must wait another day or two for his pas, Messengers are sent to the bar racks and the soldiers run most of the three-mile hike to the Hostess House. One member of the regiment who way given formal leave of absence yesterday is Don, the celebrated dog mascot of the 106th Infantry of Brooklyn. DON GETS A PASS AND A NEW COAT. Don, wearing a fine new coat of clive drab adorned with wound stripes, walked proudly away with bis bunkie, Michael T. Galvin, No. 194 Richard Street.

A meeting last night of wnat is of the Brooklyn Victory Celebra- tion Committee, it was decided that it would never do to let the Brooklyn boys of the Mth go hungry after the long march up the avenue, so an elab: orate menu was decided upon, ‘The sol- diers will not be fed in the armortes and a copy of the menu will be sent to all the principal restaurants of Brook- lyn, with orders to furnish the best of everything. Congressman John J. Delaney, who presided, declared that more tnan a thousand jobs averaging $25 per week have been found for returned «oldiers through the efforts of the commuttee.
