BUILDING IS
COMPLETED IN
RECORD TIME
PARIS, May 16 (Correspondence of
the Associated Press).—To have er
ected in 33 hours a building of 15,000
square feet"floor space, including a
theatre, social rooms, two canteens,
class rooms, kitchens, offices and five
sleeping rooms, the whole being what
in army parlance is known as a “hut,”
is an achievement of which the 101st'
Engineers, of the 26th (Yankee) Divi
, sion, American Expeditionary Force,
may well be proud.
The “York Harbor Y. D.” hut of the
Yankee Division, opened by the Young
Men’s Christian association at Le
Mans, owes its inception to Miss
Grace Thompson, of New York, who
raised a fund for the purpose in York
Harbor, Maine. Owing to the early
return of the 26th New England divi
sion to the states, the original plan
was modified to the extent of allow
ing the New England boys to erect a
hut by their own labor.
Time was pressing, but that was a
detail which only put the eager bene
ficiaries of the scheme on their mettle.
Foundations had to be leveled, French
municipal authorities had to be dealt
with for the site and for the location
of sewer, water and electrical connec
tions; one car of material carrying
the floor joists went astray and other
timbers had to be cut at a local mill.
Notwithstanding all these difficulties,
the hut, which is the largest one used
by the A. E. F., was erected, New
England stone fireplace and latticed
doorways all complete, in a space of
time that made the good people of Le
Mans rub their eyes in amazement.
Suitably decorated for the dedica
tion ceremony, the big hut was turned
over by the 26th division to the Am
erican Embarkation Center for use of
the American army on its way home.
George W. Perkins of the national
war work council made the formal
presentation to the 26th, whose com
manding officer, Major General Harry
C. Hale, acknowledged its acceptance
on behalf of the division.
After the war, the hut will be
handed over to the people of the city
of Le Mans, "as a token of cordial
friendship,” said Major General Geo.

ENGLISH SKIPPERS
ARE REAPING HARVEST
FROM CATCHES FISH
HULL, Eng., May 18 (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).—For
tunes from fish are being piled up by
skippers operating out of Hull. All
through the war their profits were so
tremendous that they now constitute
a kind of local plutocracy. They^/iave
town homes and country houses and
garages filled with motor cars.
There are now about ninety skippers
working their vessels out of this port.
The majority are rough sailors, with
a rule-of-thumb knowledge of naviga
tion, and curios ideas about the best
way to spend their huge earnings.
For several years many of them
have been netting from $40,000 to $50,
000 annually. One is said to have
averaged close on to $60,000.
A record is held by the skipper of
a trawler which last fall made the
Iceland voyage twice within six weeks,
returning from the first trip with a
little less than $100,000 worth of fish,
and from the second with a little more
than that amount. The skipper’s net
profit from the two trips was some
thing like $20,000 The second voyage
lasted only seventeen days.
Owners of the fishing craft, who
take none of the risks the skippers
face, make even more money. A boat
which hardly would have been thought
worth sending to sea before the war
can be counted on now to bring in net
profits at the rate of more than $100,
000 a year. Wild speculations are
going on in trawlers, the boats chang
ing hands at ridiculous prices.
It is a gamble against time, for
when the trawlers now engaged in
mine-sweeping are released from that
work the fishing fleet here will be
tripled and fish profits will drop ac
cordingly.

AMERICAN GOVERNORS
WHO SPEAK PERFECT
CASTILLIAN SPANISH
JUAREZ, Mex., June 10 (by Asso
ciated Press).—An American governor
talking perfect Castillian Spanish and
another speaking what he called
"cowpuncher Mexican” was the unique
feature of the visit which Governor
Thomas E. Campbell of Arizona and
Governor C. A. Larrazolo of New
Mexico paid to the military and civil
officials of Juarez during the welcome
home celebration in El Paso for Ari
zona and New Mexico overseas
soldiers.
Governor Larrazolo, born in the city
of Chihuahua, speaks Spanish with all
of the eloquent phrasing of a Spanish
don. His formal speeches are es
pecially eloquent and he has the Cas
tillian’s gift for coining beautiful
phrases and epigramatic expressions.
Governor Campbell, reared on the Ari
zona range, picked up his Spanish
from Mexican vaquies with whom
he rode the range and, while less ele
gant than the New Mexico governor’s
is equally expressive.
At the entertainment in their honor
Governor Larrazolo consented to sing
“La Golindrina” the famous Mexican
love song and, not to be outdone, Gov
ernor Campbell sang the wailing, fal
setto Spanish songs of the Mexican
vaquero as he rides the range on
stormy nights. Both were geratly ap
preciated and applauded by the Mex
ican officials.
