A MOTHER TO THE BLUEJACKETS < Yon would never thing that an in- 1 terest in American sailors could develop f out of the study of French literature. « But that is what happened to Mies < Sarah T. Seward, the niece of William H. Seward, and the confidante par ex- < cellence of our man of wars-men. It j was while preparing for a lecture that < Pierre Loti's tales revealed to her the <- lamentable <-onditdons which prevailed < in the Frenoh navy. With meritorious t inquisitivenese she began to ask: "Are t such conditions true only in Franco ? What about America!" Then she began c to investigate and learned things which, i since she is a Seward, caused her to i enlist in a one woman's compaign • against the immoral conditions which : • surround our enlisted men. and against- ;-i the injuries to the men, resultant, not , t from the legitimate life of the navy, : but from the want of interest which " permits all sorts of injusices to be prae- t ticed upon thom. This was the motive > force which. Miss Seward says, impell- 1 ed her into her work. Her friends say ' that it was the sight of a drunken, - homeless bluejacket in one of oor pit- i 1 ters. Probably each had its place in the ■ original impulse which set the work ' going. 1 1 Have you ever imagined a worm at- ; ' tacking a stprdy oak, and by his sys- I tern of tiny tunnels finally destroying the strength of that haughty monarch ' of the forest and bribing It down ! j { That is Miss Seward, apd the osk is ; the officialdom which has autocratically reared itself to a great height and overshadowed the dark and noxious growth underneath. With very little political hifluepce Miss Seward has accomplished wonders by her method of persistent boring. And she has accomplished wonders because she is that most rare combination: an idealist with the power of advancing tier forces along practical pathways. There was a moving picture place, especially designed for the sailors, which Miss Seward suspected of being a • drug den in disguise. So she. dressed < for the part and sat in one of the boxes, i She was unable to prove her suspicions : absolutely, but she went out and talked about the place, describing what she : had seen, to clubs, to church societies, : to individuals. Suddenly one day this picture palace, although encompassed i as it was by political influence, closed 1 its doors — and this happened just prior j to the arrival of the fleet, whiih al- , : ways. affords the harvest 'for which such a place diligently plants the seed, j "It .may 'not have been the result of ! my efforts,"' says Miss Seward. But

AFTER THE GRIPPE Vinol Restored Her Strength Can ton, Miss. — "I am 75 years old and became very weak and feeble from the effects of La Grippe, but Vinol has done ma a world of good. It has cured my cough, built up my strength so I feel active and well arjain." — Mrs. T .itf.ik Baldwin, Canton, Miss. Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron Nook without oil, aids digestion, enriebes the blood and creates strength. Unequalled for chronic coughs, colds cr bronchitis. Your money back if M—V. On** Ope May,

i those of us who know her think it was. i At another time a group of sailors I accused of rowdyism, but Miss i thought otherwise, and eventu- l ally succeeded in unearthing the real 1 culprits — a gang of wharf ruffians. i Then there was a white slavery scan- 1 dal which was blamed on the blue- l Miss Sep ard girt pn her arm- i or aud went out to'investigate. She dis- i covered that the girl had been lured < away by Italians, who had not been on 1 the sea since they landed from the I steerage several years before. I .Shortly after this fherc was displayed i a very obnoxious moving picture showa hoOse of pleasure in which every ■ masculine inmate was a bluejacket. Miss 1 Seward's boys protested to her, for said 1 they: "Our family and friends back ' ■ home will see such pictures as these and 1 think that they represent our life." So 1 again Miss Seward prepared for battle. 1 campaign was long and varied, taking her into the legislature, ulie re, outnumbered by her deadly enemies, the moving picture producers, she fought in her inimitable way and won — not the passage of the bill, it is true, but a suppression of moving pictures i showing bluejackets. During this memi orable campaign she learned many il- ' ] tilings concerning the Board , • of Censors, and even now her voice viIbrates with indignation as she says: I j "Would you believe that some of the , I members of these censor boards are I paid employee® of the moving picture [producers!" 1 j Many reformers whom I have met are ' typical of emotion ; others of entbus- , asm; others of dignity. Miss Reward , is all these and more. Nature has I -quipped iter well for her work, with ' i ''harming expression which instantly , inspires" confidence, with the kindest of • yds, a saucy, uutilted nose, the sweet- i est of mouths, and a chin which alone j weveals the quiet strength so much need- | i ed for the success of her efforts. I should hazard a guess that she is never disturbed by the red tape of officialdom, but | stands firm and quietly aeeomplish"s J reform in the conditions which surround 1 the long suffering mail o' warsmen. and j all this, without a hint of Sensationalism. She-is working for the bluejackets "no! for herself— that is evident at once, j ' It is the - rank injustice of holding ; [these men responsible for our defense, ; ignoring any responsibility for the I '• clfare of these defenders, which haj Miss Seward's patience. These 1 youths have been uprooted from their . j homes', exiled from all community life, : I from social and political interests, which ; ! mean so much -to a young man. No one - takes an interest in them except the acquisitive class, who devise ways and means to separate them from their money. Even the better theaters are closed to them. The illegality of this ( procedure has been estabUsbed, it is , true, but the boys have been made to r feel so uncomfortable in them that they I do not care to attend. Hie only desirable place with open doors is the church, i and too often its welcome is offered in a - missionary spirit, which imputation the , «lf-W"P«tilig bhiejaekei naturally ref senta A sailor's advance into social life M 4 civilian is prohibited, because no '■ rivfliaa clothes are permitted on shipboard, and, if they wen, few boys could

With no respectable place to which to go, he trails aimlessly about the streets and drifts Jnto undesirable places. And why not! These sad more were the conclusions at which Miss Seward arrived during her investigation. So she opened her home and offered her friendship to these boys. And the boys in turn idolise her and bring her their confidences. "It is our indifference and Ignorance," says Miss Seward, "which combine to produce the very conditions that rouse our disrespect of the uniform of the enlisted man. Then we assume the attitude of rigflteous pride, and attempt to save him by insulting patronage from the very <ximes for which we are responsible. And all he asks is a little understanding and sympathy. Instead we. draw a&ide our moral skirt, so as not to be defiled by our own defenders, ' and even bar\bese boys from our public grounds, as did Boston when she displayed a sign in her park: 'Sailors and dogs not admitted." Sailors and dogs'. Surely these brave fellows Who stand ready to defend us with their lives, merit something better than the coldVjndifference or offensive attention which have both been measured out to them. "But in the inner circle of the nation's responsibiTty is the responsibility of the parents. Too -mapytSmSrlt is the conditions at home which have driven the boys into the ranks of the navy. Too often the father iijnerely a provider, too busy or to Indifferent to study the needs of hia son. Too often the mother is obliged to take the place of both parents. A boy on the threshold of manhood should have the father's companionship!; instead he feels the iron hand of authority and rebels. ijiscord — and the sudden departof the boy, to wake up Irrevocably to a life of which he has had previous knowledge. Too often our is recruited either from unsuccessful homes, or from the ranks of orphans, or from those who have had to take the place of wage earner. Therefore inva peculiar way they are the defenceless of the nation, and should be its wards as well as its defenders." These are some of the reasons why bliss Seward has become the mother and confidante of the bluejackets, and whv she is contributing her love and strength to. jibe work of rousing the public Attnimportance of giving our t-ailflrt a square deal. — By Edith Wilds in the Christian Work.
