LONDON, May 20 (by mall),—
"Next for candy," cries the keeper of
the ship's canteen In front of hi8
booth is a long queue of American sol
! dlers, patiently awaiting their turn to
I buy the sweets nnd souvenirs dls
! played on the counter and in the show
i cases. It Is an Incident of life or
' American soldiers on a transport
bound for Krance.
The canteen Keeper is tired Never
in his experience on British vessels
has he encountered such a rush of
business, lie has sold his wares In
i all the seven seas to people of many
nationalities, and if he were award
ing a prize to the best customer it
would be bestowed promptly on the
American soldier.
"I say," he exclaimed to the chief
steward, after he had closed shop the
first day out. "what a sweet tooth
they have! At the rate they're buy
jug me out. there won't he a gumdrop
left by the time we get half-way
; across."
On some of the British transports
that are taking Uncle Sam's troops tc
' Krance there are as many as five can
teens.
The demand for chocolates is sc
great that the supply, large though
it may have been, is quickly exhausted
American chewing gum is next in pop
ularity. After the home variety ol
confections have been sold out, thf
i soldiers begin to experiment with the
British sweets, of which toffee win>
perhaps the'most favor If America!'
"pop" < onld tio had. it Would be con
Burned in large quantities. Kailinr
that, the troops drink Spanish gingei
ale.
Olio soldier is known to have spelii
for randy and ginger ale He proli
uilly would have spent more in-tor*
the ship ri-arheil port, hut one day
greutl> to liis astonishm*-nl. lie be
■ tame sea-sick
. The canteen curios, such as sheik
1 on which are painted the AmSricai
flag, attract many buyers, and lief or*
the trip Is ended almost evp.ry sol
dier's kit contains one or more o
these treasures.
On the British transports the Wi
lier shop is advertised on the dooi
as “hairdresser." As a rule thesi
signs are not understood by the Amer
ican looking lor n haircut or a shave
- He thinks !' is a place for women t*
bhve their hair dressed, and he passes
' by. When he confesses to his com
j rades that he can't find Hie barbel
■ shop, he is made the victim of a good
■ ! deal of joshing from those who hav*
j falhomed the secret.
i The soldiers who patronize the hair
dresser find 'he experience rathe
novel It seems queer ;o bp shaved ii
an immovable upright chair, am
ipieerer still, but extremely patlsfac
lory to lie charged about half th<
price one pays in a first-class Amer
lean shop.
It is on the ship that many Amer
leans become acquainted for the firs
time with English money. Aside fron
a stray Canadian dime, they usuallj
i have never seen British coins, am
w hen in exchange for an American dol
lar bill (hey are given strange lookint
pieces of silver and big disks of cop
per. they register, in the language o
the movies, wide-eyed interest.
“What are these stove lids for?'
asked an Iowan of a Texan, puzzlei
and showing some disdain for the bit
English pennies
"You pul 'em in a sock to bean t
Hun with. I reckon." replies the south
orner, hefting the coins. "They're
worth two cents apiece That's a good
sized tip in London”
j “You fellows." the sergeant goes on
reaching for the Iowan's coins, “better
one of these two-shlHtng pieces that's
1 nearly *he same altfe.”
"HOW much Is a shilling?" queries
the Teiatr
“About twotoits," says the pergeartt,
who hails from California “It’s equal
to two of these slipenees.”
He gives the'coins back to their
owner and stalks off, followed by nd
miring eyes.
"Say," observps the Iowan, “we’ve j
got a lot to leanf And when we get j
to Krftttde, f dhiekn’well rdn Into some
other Jtltitl of money “
“War certainly Js hell," says the
MAN ARRESTED HERE
! IS GIVEN LONG SENTENCE
_
! John (>. Kuthberth, who whs re
j rent!y arrested in Coordova. charged
1 with the murder of James Collins at
