NAVAL DEPOTS |

____ I
QUKKNSTOWN. Ireland, Keb., ''
• — By A. P.— Plans for the dismautl
f ing of the American naval stations ir
. and around Queenstown are going for
ward rapidly. Time will be required
to remove the base hospital at Whie
point, and much work will be involv
ed in removing the many big ware
houses which were brought here front
America important parts of the Am
erican plant include wireless station*
at Queetstowu and Aglada and many
hutments.
American officers and men have
made a deep impression on tihe pcrple
of Queenstown and in other parts of
South Ireland, and relations generally
have been of the most cordial natuie.
Tb s is proved by the fact that a num
ber of weddings have already taken
place, and more than one American
sailor has promised to return for the
girl he must leave behind.
Queenstown has prospered greatly
since the station was established here,
but the people declare their regret in
seeing the Americans depart is be
cause they have become accustomed |
to their presence and like them for the
fine young fellows they are.
