cer Genuine Certain-teed Rc "Union Leader"?Bes^ on the: un How Our Navy Men Find Entertainment .Music and Motion Pictures Give Diversion to All. IJase American Flotilla in British Waters, October 25?Correspondence i of the Associated Press).?The small- , est American sailor in the whole European flotilla has the place of honor in the orchestra at the Sailor's Club House here, and plays the biggest base viol that has even been seen in Ireland. He comes from Chicago, and , his instrument overtops him by a clean two feet when they are standing side by side. When he is seated, be is completely hidden beyond the instrument. There are thirty-live pieces in the American orchestra, and by special arrangement with publishers in America, they receive proofshects of all the late t American music and are playing it in their hut on the shores of Ireland almost before it has appeared in Xew York. The orchestra leader is a pay-clerk on the flagship of the flotilla who devotes several hours each day to practicing new music with his ambitious musicians. They must learn a new set of music each week to go with the ever-changing bill of entertainment provided for the sailors. The leader is an organizer who has by sheer perseverance whipped into shape an orchestra that delights the men of the flotilla. British and American nava! ami minsn military omcers 01 nign rank are anions the most appreciative in Urn audiences of every Friday and Saturday night. Moving pictures are always a part of these shows, the comics being especially welcomed by the sailors whose loud guffaws are in themselves enough to produce a laugh. The newest feature by the orchestra leader, is the singing by the entire audience of the latest American songs. The words are thrown on a large screen and are sung with a will by the sailors. In these audiences of between 500 and <>00 there always is a generous sprinkling of British sailors and soldiers who are urged to avail themselves of all the privileges of the clubhouse. They can even sleep there overnight in large dormitories provided for all men in either branch of service who may have over-night liberty from ship or barracks. For a clean, comfortable bed and a shower bath the nominal charge of a shilling is made. The best food ashore is cooked on the premises and served at cost price. New scenery made in London is the latest addition to the club. It was put in place by the flagship's carpenters whose handiwork is seen in many parts of the club. The ironworkers from the same ship have also done their first shore work since leaving the United States by erecting a steel hut to house the moving picture machine and its operator. The fire laws required this little detail. The only discordant note in connection with the club comes from the native population because they are not permitted to view its wonders. They must he content to stand outside and listen to the music and the laughter of the happy men in uniform. It was explained to them that their own town council a>ked that the public be barred. The request was made at the behest of the proprietors of the town's two little picture theatres who saw a threatened loss of patronage.

TAIN-TE! Note These Low F?r >ofing: 1 ply. guaranteed 5 y Earth for the Money?Roofing ION HAP Another C Casoline Costs France ? $100,000,000 Annually 1 c Paris, Oct. .'JO.?(Correspondence of n The Associated Press)?Discussion of v extravagance and wastage in war ex- s penditure. during the recent debate P on the appropriations for the fourth R quarter of this year in the Chamber n of Deputies developed the fact that * France is paying the equivalent of c $100,000,000 a year for gasoline. The t upkeep of cars placed at the disposition of the military authorities outside the war zone amounted to about $ 500,000 a month during the year 1910. * ll Emanuel Brousse, who is sometimes called the "watch dog of the 4 treasury," remarked that part of this ^ waste was due to the fact that mot^r lorries intended to carry loads of from three to five tons were used to trans- ^ port single cases weighing no more than a hundred pounds. Another speaker declared that dis- v carded stallions belonging to the state were sold by the Apricultural Depart- ^ ment at the equivalent of $70 to private individuals who subsequently sold 4 them to the war department for the nnnivnlont nf i.'irtfl It also was asserted that in pur- ? chasing -10,000 horses in America the government lost about $5,.r>00,000. It was claimed that these horses were bought in the United States at $80 to $85 a head and cost $140 to $100 when the freight and feeding were paid, but that the French government paid ?:J00 each for them. Another deputy pointed out how some of the measures adopted with a view to economizing food products had involved extravagance. The appointment of millers in each department to supervise the distribution of the cereals allotted by the government, with a compensation of four cents a hundred weight for their services, it was calculated, would cost from $40,000 to nearly .1*400,000 in each department, and there are 87 departments in France. Thus a simple service of supervision, had the plan been carried out, would have made 80-odd fortunes for as many millers. In spite of these isolated cases of persistent waste, it was declared on ? the other hand that the government , has in most departments connected with the war effort realized economies t running into hundreds of millions of < francs a year. j Wool Said to Be for German Army t (By Associated Press) ] London, Oct. 25.?(Correspondence ' of The Associated Press)?Swedish army officials were accused of eonspir- ' ing to furnish millions of,dollars' worth of wool to Germany, in the course of an action in the Prize Court 1 here this week. The case concerned a shipment of 1500 hales of wool, consigned to the Swedish army, hut destined, according to the Attorney general/ for a German firm in Leipsig. The shipment is valued at .$700,000, being only one of several seized in route from the Argentine Republic. Intercepted documents, produced in court, showed that the wool was not intended to remain in Sweden. That the Swedish army had no intention of using the wool was indicated, it was asserted, by the fact that its represetatives made no appearance in the court and put in no claim to the cargo. It was stated in court that the British authorities had in the past allowed several shipments of wool similarly consigned to the Swedish Army Administration to pass, in the confidence that the official nature of the consignees rendered it possible to accept their assurances. "Is this a case where the wool was consigned to the army administration without its knowledge," asked the presiding judge, "or is it a case where some unauthorized person used the name of the department?" The attorney general replied "The court will he able to judjre of the ( practicability of anyone usintf the < name of an official department with- , out some official in authority becoming aware of the fact. The intercepted letters show that this is a part of a very bad business, a deliberate scheme to pass wool into Germany at a moment when Germany is suffering from a prreat scarcity of that necessary commodity for war purposes." The presiding jud^e, in pivinp: his verdict, condemning the entire shipment as a lawful prize, said: "The intercepted documents show that the wool was intended for Germany.
