Speeding Up the Movement of Freight (Continued) United States, and the amount of material being handled is constantly increasing.

The Central of Georgia Railroad in conjunction with the Ocean Steamship Company has just completed an ocean terminal at Savannah costing well into the millions. This is one of the leading cotton exporting and fertilizer exporting centers of the country. Cargoes are now lifted from the ships' hold by mighty power winches at the shipside; the fertilizer is conveyed by power-operated equipment and dumped into the proper bins.

Electric trucks take the cotton bales from the incoming cars direct to the boats awaiting loads or to the storage shed. The cotton is lifted from the dock floor and placed in the hold of the waiting vessel by power winches. One man on a truck replaces eight or nine with the old-style push truck and the winches lift the cotton in huge bundles weighing a ton or more each.

The British Government has long recognized the need of fast terminals, and has developed the docks at Halifax along this line. Investigators of modern terminal facilities, if they are fortunate enough to bear the proper credentials, get sights of amazing speed in handling war materials, which include almost everything entering into the life of the human family. Fortunately the recent catastrophe at Halifax did not destroy the new freight terminals, so that the work of keeping supplies flowing to war-stricken Europe was not interfered with seriously.

BY THE WAY

[ocr errors]

What is a "gandy dancer"? The words were on a blackboard outside a store on the Bowery. In old times they might have suggested the proximity of a cheap dance house. But the Bowery has changed. Within the space of a few blocks there are now more than a score of "labor bureaus where formerly were low dives and “suicide halls." Inquiry of an Italian employee of the bureau elicited the information that a "gandy dancer" is a railway worker who tamps down the earth between the ties, or otherwise "dances " on the track. The announcement read:

Men wanted for track work cinder ballast no rock straight time rain or shine paid weekly accomodation very good Board furnished $5 per week It is a good job particularly for veteran gandy dancers It's a few miles out and requires no weeks toil to get back to this burg.

Another bureau's sign called for "gandy danzers," a variation of the spelling.

There is much competition between the various labor agencies on the Bowery, and the placards vie with one another in announcing their attractions. "No Money Needed"" Free Sleeping Quarters "No Charges, No Fee"-" No Examination Required, any man from 21 to 50 years is accepted "-these are some of the allurements to attract the out-of-work laborer. As to wages, one sign read: "Coal mines in State of Indiana, $5 to $8.51 per day 8 hours." Another: "Free meals on train. $4.12 for 10 hours. Plenty overtime. Double Sundays." There were appeals in Russian, Polish, Italian, Spanish, and even in the tabooed language, German. "Wald Arbeit" is offered in a "firstclass camp" of woodsmen in Vermont. In front of one of the bureaus the proprietor was haranguing the onlookers in the hope of inducing them to "sign up." Truly these are fat days for the workingman.

Thomas M. Osborne, once warden of Sing Sing Prison in New York, is now, as Lieutenant-Commander Osborne, superintendent of the Naval Prison at Portsmouth, New Hampshire. "I took command of the prison on the first of August, 1917," said Mr. Osborne recently, "and we held a meeting of the prisoners that night. I told them that the Secretary of the Navy had sent me up there to help turn that place from a scrap-heap into a repair-shop. When I went to the prison, forty men were constantly on duty guarding the 170 prisoners. Now only ten guards at a time are employed to guard 1,814 prisoners. Since I have been there 538 men have been returned from the prison to the service."

A book on Paris quotes an amusing rhyme that was inscribed on an old gate to a cemetery that has now been turned into a garden. This cemetery, which adjoined the Church of St. Médard, was long a place of pilgrimage on account of the wonderworking influence ascribed to the tomb of the Abbé Pâris. Finally, in 1732, the cemetery was closed by order of Louis XV. The lampoon satirizing the order was as follows:

"De par le Roi, défense à Dieu
De faire miracle en ce lieu."

(By order of the King, the Lord is forbidden to work miracles in this place.)

When the news of the attack by German submarines on vessels near the American coast came to the New York newspapers, there was a rush to get the "extras the street first. This haste may account for the statement in the usually accurate New York "Evening Sun" that " one member

on

of the crew of the schooner Cole declared the German submarines were first sighted at a distance of about 300 years" (italics ours). That is perhaps correct as to the period in the past when German ideas about the ethics of warfare were formed.

"It is a proverb in China," says the "Christian Register" in an editorial on the use of German, "that it is not good manners to speak of ropes in a family that has had a hanging. If for nothing else, a a matter of politeness and courtesy, a nie feeling of the fitness of things, those wh use German should refrain from doing s in this country."

Three things impress the American. William Beebe writes in the June "Atlantic," on the first day of his arrival in Paris. The first is the deliciousness of the crusty war-bread; the second and third-but there is space here only for his story of the warbread: "Sugar and bread are enough to be given special thought. The Baron de would be delighted to have you take déjeuner with Madame la Baronce and himself; then follows a little postscrip 'Apportez un peu de pain, si

scarce

voulez-and we trudge Baronwards va four inches of the most excellent war-brai in our pocket!" Mr. Beebe adds that the shortage is, with many people, one of money rather than of the staff of life itself.

Mr. Beebe gives the palm as to soldierly appearance, among the brilliant groups of officers now to be seen in the streets of Paris, to two widely different races. As to sartorial get-up, the British officer is supreme. With him "soldiering is a fine art, so thoroughly mastered that he can spare time for every detail of dress. He is a fashion-plate of neatness, glossy leather, ! and shining metal. However carefully one has groomed one's self, one feels fairly out at heel when a British colonel passes. But the past-masters were not of the C nent of Europe. Down the Bois de Bourgue would come a quartet of great Siks; handsome as etchings, proud as only Siks can be, unconscious as camels, with turban ends swinging, patrician descendants of forebears who were warriors when Britons and Gauls roamed as nomad tribes."

Tommy Atkins likes to pass a joke even when he is hurt. "Coming through Ypres during hot fighting," says a British soldierauthor, "I passed a friend. You have 1 fine bruise on your forehead,' said I, point- ¦ ing to a raw bump the size of a goose-egg 'How did you get it?' I haven't an idea. he answered, unless a shell bounced off it Some of 'em have come close enough, se one might have done it.'"

In a statement made in an article in The Outlook of May 22, that "on June 8 of this year will occur the first total eclipse of the sun [visible in the United States] in eighteen years," the phrase in brackets should have been included. The path of the eclipse, sixty-seven miles wide, was, through an error in copying, printed" 167 miles wide."

A medical journal vouches for this story: A distinguished surgeon, while making his ¦ rounds through a hospital, was momentarily dazed when a wounded soldier inquired querulously: "Say, doctor, when one doctor doctors another doctor, does the doctor doing the doctoring doctor the other doctor like the doctor wants to be doctored, or does ¦ the doctor doing the doctoring doctor the other doctor like the doctor doing the doctoring wants to doctor him?"

Friends, Near and Far

continuance of the familiar talks with readers and from readers as exemplified in the recently published pages called "Two Letters" and "The Best Magazine in the World," we present a few comments from our daily mail. They certainly have given us pleasure and they may show other friends what The Outlook is trying to do and how its efforts are recognized:

Why Soldiers Like The Outlook Mail to the soldiers seems very slow and uncertain. If the powers that be will allow your publication to reach the boys, it will be very valuable. It is one of the few papers that has courage to give the public what it is entitled to know.

FROM AN IOWA FARMER.

An Excellent Form of Commendation I was greatly delighted with your article "Two Letters," on the inside cover page of The Outlook for June 12, and thought of writing you a letter of commendation, but decided to send you a check instead.

My subscription expires October, 1918. I enclose a check for five dollars; one dollar will pay up to January, 1919, and the remaining four dollars will pay my subscription up to January, 1920.

I am seventy-eight years of age-a childless widow-with few relatives, and one of my special comforts is the weekly visit of The Outlook.

From an Educator in the Philippines

The Outlook is the best means that I have found to prevent expatriation. The Outlook has helped to make me a better American than I could have been and helps to keep me so. Your editorials ar frequently reprinted by our newspapers here, with no credit given you. . . . At times they do mention your name, but many times they do not. As they always use the editorial in a good cause, that of telling the truth about the war and our reasons for being in it, I do not suppose you mind. . . . I have sent my used copies for the last two years to a Tyrolese priest. While never rabid on the war, he has been and still is loyal to his country. I suppose it is a case of "my country right or wrong him, but I am sure that he cannot have m admiration left for his country's allies.
