JUST IN TIME — I Caine Peace—“ Bud” Steele , Was to go on the Line I That Night. VERY NEAR THE RHINE Could Walk There in a Few Hours—Wholly Among Strangers. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Steele, of Pleasant Mills, after six weeks’, have a let-1 ter from their son, Roy C. Steele, commonly known as "Bud.” He le't Decatur May 26 for Camp Taylor. Ky. and was then transferred to Camp Beauregard, from there to Newport News, where he embarked for France His oversea card was received of the date of August 26. The last letter re-| reived prior to this was dated October 26: November 13, 1918 Dear Folks: Tuesday eve and of course 1 am feeling fine from the way things have gone and I suppose you are feeling good, too. But. I am sure glad the Huns did surrender when they did for I was to go on the line that night, Nov. 11. It sure seems lietter since the big guns have quit making so much noise, but their noise did not disturb my slumbers very much for you know 1 can sleep under most any circumstances. I am not far from Germany or the Rhine river, for 1 can walk there tn a few hours. We are going there in a short time. You perhaps have read of the 32nd division. I was transferred from the 153rd Inf. Co. L. to 126 Inf. Co. I but I am glad now I was transferred. The boys are singing The Little Brown Church in the Vale, my favorite, so 1 can hardly finish this letter. I will not be back very soon for it will be six months any way. God! but I can taste the soda biscuits and syrup, butter and fresh pork that you are having now. The slobbers run every time I think of them. Oh. if I could only write what I want to, for you can see that our letters are still censored. We had quite a time keeping up with the Huns and the noise was awful and every once in a while we got shook up some. Those old civil war men can’t tell me anything for they can’t hold a candle to our experiences and they will have to lay down when we get back. 1 have seen things that I never expected to see in my iffe. If 1 live to get back I will tell of many things I have seen. You will think that many of the things are very badly stretched, if not twisted. I suppose you get my letters, but I have not heard from you folks since I came over here. I hope you are all well. Don't worry about me for I am feeling fine. I don't worry any. but at times I do some tall thinking. I am among strangers, not a boy that came with me is in the company that I know of. None of the boys will say that they ever saw' me "feeling blue,” unless it was when I was out of tobacco. I can’t send you any more “sunshine” now so must close. With love to you all, I am. ' Pvt. ROY C. STEELE. Co. 1. 126 Inf., 32 Div. A. p. O. 734. A. E. F. — U. S. HOLDS RECORD (United Press Service) Washington. Dec. 14 —The United States navy leads the world in destroyers, built or building. This information Rear Admiral Griffin, chief of bureau of steam engineering, gave the country yesterday in his annual report, recording achievements of the past war year. Much of the report is technical, but its substance is a story of success in big things. With about 275 destroy!ers building, Adtnral Griffin has this to say of the destroyer standing: “In ships built and building, the United States has now a larger force of destroyers than that of any other navy. I “This increase has not been gradual, but has lieen attained by giant Strides within a year. The difficulties encountered in such unprecedented, progress have no parallel In warship construction anywhere at any time”| When the last 150 destroyers were ordered, a 28-knot speed was contemplated, but before contracts were let. it was decided the speed should be. [35 knots. This meant doubling the number of boilers and increasing the [ amount of forgings. Maker-, of the latter were far from keen to handle tho work, but the tasks were undertaken. even though an unprecedented amount of work already was under way. Actual expenditures of the bureau for the fiscal year 1917 were estimated at 849,536,093 whereas the fiscal >

year 1918 expenditures were 8283.742- | 767. This represented more thin j thri'o-quurtora of a million dollars expenditure per day. “Since the United States became a belligerent, the magnitude of the | engineering work of tho navy, both I mechanical and electrical has been - | not only In its actual amount but in | the rapid development of facilities | for its execution without a parallel, for the sumo period of time, in the < history of the world’s navies,” says Griffin. A birdseye view of tho bureau's ac- I tivltles inay be obtained from the fact | that the navy is operating 570 regular j navy vessels. 93 coast guard, light-' house and kindred ships. 937 convert- i ed merchant craft, and 247 vessels ■ for army and navy transportation. There are under construction at navy! I yards 376 combatant and auxiliary [ vessels and 52 tugs. The navy has j about 210 radio stations. Griffin reveals that 8 antl-submar-J ine devices were developed during the ■ war, and that radio, telegraph and tele phone apparatus for communication with airplanes have been remark.'!)- I ly developed. Touching on oil land development, j the. report makes this significant com- I ment on the California reserve: “Development of the naval reserve land has progressed so rapidly in the past few years that unless legislation is passed shortly tho entire reserve! must, be commandeered." SURVEY OF NURSING RESOURCES “On the eve of my leaving for ■ France,” roads a message from MissJane Delano, national director of the Department of Nursing, American! i Red Cross, to Miss V. Lota Lorimer R. N., director of the Lake Division I Department of Nusing, “I am anxious | to have you know how earnestly I , desire successful completion of oar I survey of nursing resources.” In a recent conference at national JI Red Cross headquarters, attended by ’ Miss Lorimer, plans discussed for the development of a permanent nursing ! program were in large part based on a thorough survey of nursng reI sources. Miss Delano urges that chapters which have not pushed the work of tho survey be brought into line. “It Is particularly important,” the . message concludes, “that guestionnatres be filled out not only by graduate nurses but also by all other groups included in the scope of the: survey."
