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.

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. How '
