it means that several hundred men

Word baa been received in Skag
w*y that black coffee is the popular
drink with tho American fighting
tailors stationed in. turcpiuu water?,
Whea desrtoyeRi are looking ior
submarines hot, black, cofr'ee is al
ways ready for those who want it,
and the men say it not only keeps
them awake but serves as a pro
tector against the rigorous sea
climate. Most of the men do not
miss the use of alcoholic drinks.
Those who desire liquor can get
it ashcrre from midday until eight
in tho evening, but the saloons are
found to be doing little business
■wl'h American sailors, a record
which pleases the officers.
Marino patrols have little to do
but walk up and down the streets.
