SEAMAN'S BOTTLE IS LATEST Contains Passports to Good Health by Providing Free Hospital Treat- ment Anywhere Days of the Dog's Life Now History. Washington. Uncle Sam Is getting more watchful of the health of his merchant crews us the great Anierleun peace-time tleet continues to grow. The latest Innovation of the United States shipping board In ihe"seuman'B bottle," which has now becomo one of tin cherished possessions of hundreds of American seamen. This little glass bottle, small enough to be carried In the est pocket, con tains passports to good health print ed forms which, when tilled out by a ship's captain, will gain admittance for the holder to any United States mi." nine hospital or relief .still Ion of thn public health service in every impor ta in port in the United States. On u foreign voyage the application will pro vide the seaman with the best niedltnl care, free of charge, on application to the United States consular otllcer. At present the bottle Is being pro vided only for men who have been trained for a sea career by the recruit ing service of the shipping board, but in the oplulou of Surgeon General 151 tie every American seaman should have one. It Is in port that the new "seaman's bottle," which was originated by Dr. Louis W. Croke, medical director of the shipping board recruiting service, plays Its chief part. A seaman la need of medical attention has merely to dig the bottle out of his kit, bring the printed form to his skipper to be filled out und then go ashore to the nearest federal olllclal. Free Hospital Care. The label which bears the imprint of the board's recruiting service Informs the seafarer that he is entitled to free hospital care no matter what his sta tion aboard ship. The term "seamen," it says, means not only the men who are employed on deck but persons em ployed on board In the care, preserva tion or navlgatlot. of the ship, and it even includes those who are In the service, on board, of those engaged in such care, preservation or navigation. When discharged by the medical au thorities the American seaman is given free passage to the port from which he originally signed, unless the articles provide for discharge else where, or If In a foreign port to some port In the United States, lie must serve on board the ship on which his passage has been arranged If possible. The "seaman's bottle" not only will Impress upon Americans who are going to sea the privileges to which they are AFTER FOUR YEARS IN Refugees who have been held In ore at last taken to a place of safety. shows the refugees being escorted In 5 "v- 4m AJ : wj i v S .XZl .M S 1 3M53t: I i &': ttm - ,trift! , 11 ,.

Tempted by Big Prizes Offered by Newspapers and Aviation Clubs. Paris. Airplane manufacturers are losing no time In developing long-distance machines for transatlantic flights for which tempting prizes have been offered by vnrlous newbpnpers and aviation clubs. The rumors persist In Paris that a nnndley-Pnge mnchlne has already ,-nsxed the ocean, from Newfoundland to Ireland, but that the flight was kept secret In order that the Germans might not know that a machine had been produced which could bomb Ber lin. The allies had secret Informa tion that the enemy folt perfectly se cure about the inability of airplanes entitled ns seamen of the United States but will preserve the certificate und keep It clean. , Years ago, In the days of the clipper ship, and oven since that time, the sick or disabled American sailor at fcu or In a foreign port had no resource but the charity of Ills captain or ship mates. Old-time skippers generally prescribed and supplied a blue pill nnd the crews were not burdened with funds to lend. Harrowing tales have been told of those dark days of the inerchnnt ma rine, of men forced to lie for weeks In cramped, foul-smelling forecastles, often beset by rats and without proper food, light, air or clothing. If the man lived until the ship reached port some sort of care might be provided for him, but hundreds died, were burled at sea ; their togs were sold and they were soon forgot ten.

There reached Paris recent ly a line-looking old French gentleman, sad-eyed, hollow-cheeked. Por four years he had been held prisoner by the Germans In the city of Cambrai. He had seen the Hun kaiser Uirec times passing through the streets of ills city which previously had been swept by the French women. Night after night he had been forced to go nnd sit In the railroad stations of the city while the British bombed them. He had seen his friends, people once wealthy and of high birth, sent out to dig trenches, to bury the dead and to cultivate and weed the fields. For two years he had only soup and cocoa for ids dinner and a semi-monthly allow ance of three-quarters of a pound of meat and black bread.

Farman has constructed a quadru ple motor biplane equipped with four propellers nnd driven by engines gen erating more thnn 1,000 hor.M'-power, which he believes can negotiate the transatlantic flight.

Fail ure to comply with this law subjects the master or owners of the vessel to a heavy lint. Scurvy, that scourge of the old days, has practically disappeared from the American mercantile marine because of the liberal supplies of lime or lemon Juice, sugar and vinegar that are now required to be carried on every ship on a long vojage and to be given dally to the crew within ten days after salt provisions have been chlelly served to them. In the days of yore "salt Junk" was the main item on every foc'sle bill of fare. This food, consigned to the vessel In barrels, was generally stowed below as ballast and sometimes re mained there fot a long time before being requisitioned for the crew. This diet, with the lack of frush vegetables, caused scurvy. Adequate hospital facilities aboard ship also are provided. The law re quires that In addition to the space al lotted for lodgings, which must be roomy nnd well ventilated, all mer chant vessels of the United States, which ordinarily make voyages of more 'than three days' duration be tween ports and which enrry more than twelve seamen, shall have a suit able hospital compartment with at least one comfortable bunl; for every twelve seamen aboard. - there to llnd, If possible, the priceless records of the city which he hid In 1014 when the Huns swept ncross Bel glum and Invaded northern France. As n Judge of a tribunal or court of Cambrai, Bergler refused to leave his post when the Gorman hordes poured through his country In August, 1914. By a trick of chance be hud just sent his wife and three daughters to Boulogne-sur-Mor, on the coast of France, for a holiday and was plan ning to Join them early In September. The meeting was deferred just four years. He was captured, but was spared the bitterness of seeing his family subjected to the humiliations which came to the other women of Cambrai. 111b wife and daughters at once volunteered for hospital service and worked so heroically for three years that they were decorated by the French government with tho mednl "des ep!demlessct du devouement." The story which Bergler brought back was one of want and suffering. The Germans held him ns hostage so he was not maltreated. Whenever tho city was bombed, however, ho was sent with three other Judges, also held as hostages, to sit In the railway sta tions so that they would be killed If the tralllc centers were destroyed. The people of the city who did not hold otllclal positions were treated more ' summarily. The women were nil made to do menial work of some kind, such ns sweeping the streets of the city or cultivating and weed ing the fields. The young boys and men were sent out to dig trenches and to bury the dead. Turned Out of Homes. Family after family was turned out of homes to make place for the wives of tho German olllcers who enme to stay In Cambrai with their husbands and for German actresses nnd sing ers who were brought from Germany to stage performances of grand opera and to make merry in tho casinos. The prisons were kept filled with "offenders." Early In September Bergler was told I that an exchange find been elected and he was to return to France. lie would be permitted to take with him what belongings he could carry, no found an old baby carriage with two wheels off and patched it up with wheels from a dismantled gun.
