Rhine wine then they induced me to
drink a ginger ale highball, and here
I am."
“They ought to be arrested for lead
ing a young fellow like you astray,”
the jailor told Sullivan.”
“They'll never do it again,” the
prisoner said. “I don't want to stunt
my growth by drinking whiskey.”

BASE AMERICAN FLOTILLA IN
j BRITISH WATERS. Oct. 31—The two
tailors In this little seacosst town are
enjoying a hitherto unheard of reign
of prosperity owing to the unprece
dented demand for gold lace and new
| uniforms from American officers and
! men who have just been promoted.
; The promotions, permanent and tem
| porary, in the line of the navy were
| mafte in accordance with the recom
I mendations of the selection board
| which recently sat in Washington. All
' those in tho> flotilla who have been
! selected have now been notified but •
owing to the distance from Washing
ton it will be some days before all
have their commissions. The promo
tions were necessary in order to create
more officers for the growing navy.
The cheering news was long await
ed here and it caused an avalanche
of orders to fall on the unprepared
tailors in the port. Every man who
was given a little more rank wanted
to show it on his uniform. Warrant
officers, the highest non-commissioned
rank, who were suddenly raised into
the commissioned status and who
were thus privileged to step up into
the officers mess, wanted their new
uniforms to wear at the table. Con
sequently, the local sartorial artists
were swamped with the demands for
decorations for suits not carried in
their regular limited stock, such as
appropriate devices for collars—sil
ver anchors, silver bars, gold leaf and
hundreds of yards of gold braid for 1
sleeves. I
While It cannot for military reasonB.
be said how many of the officers and
men of the line of the navy over here
benefited by the action of the Wash
ington board, it is not violating the
rules of the censor to say that nearly
all the junior officers were advanced
in rank, that a large number of the
warrant officers were raised to the
rank of ensign and the chief petty
officers rated up to the warrant rank.
The result is that a large percentage
of the eligible portion of the person
nel now have extra rank and in
I creased pay, a fact which has creat
ed intense satisfaction.
All the ensigns of the class of 1915,
of whom there are a great many in th«
flotilla here, are made lieutenants jun
ior grade. Graduates of the classes
of 1910-11 and about one-third of the
class of 1912 who were lieutenants
junior grade, are made full lieuten
ants. Officers who were not lieuten
ant commanders previous to the pas
s«-"> of the act of congress enlarging
the navy, are made lieutenant com
manders down to three-fourths of the
class of 1906.
Lieutenant commanders are made
commanders down to and including
about half the class of 1902. Com
manders are made captains down to
and beg'nning with the cUss if jsn.
The majority of the promotions are
temporary. Many men are given pro
motion a year before they would re
ceive it in the ordinary course ot af
fairs.

DAWSON, Y. T.. Oct 31. — The
lower Yukon river mail contractors
are getting busy on their big winter
system. Numerous dog teams still
are used on thousands of miles of
Alaska trails. The most important
route perhaps, is that between Fair
banks and Chitina, at the terminal of
the Copper River railway Certain
mail was handled over that route all
summer by automobile, and these ma
chines will continue running until the
heavy snowfalls in November. Large
sleighs drawn by horses then will be
engaged.
Percy de Wolfe, the Dawsoiv£agle
mail carrier, has been busy for some
time sending hay, grain and other sup
plies along the route in ‘preparation
for the winter service. He will use a
launch as long as the river is clear of
Ice, and after that the dog teams un
til the ice becomes solid, and then
large sleighs drawn by horses.
