Enlistment.

The United States Navy is in want of
intelligent, bright healthy American cit-
ZenS to serve on the new warships now be-
ing placed in service. But to get such men
for Uncle Sans ships is 4 difficulty which
the recruiting officers are encOuntering.
Since September 1St only 236 persons have
been examined at the naval rendezvous" at
10 California street for admission to the
navy, and out of this numbar eighty-three

The Pacific Coast is not able to man the
vessels made in San Francisco. and quite re-
Gently draft of 100 men had to be sent
here from the East for the new cruiser San
Francisco. There is this inconvenient feat
ure about drafts from the East, that men
so brought here have 10 be returned at the
expiration Of their terms OF service to the
place where they were enlisted. This sys-
TEN, therefore, will take away seamen who
enlisted in the East from the point where
they are most needed, namely, on the Pacific
Coast This makes it more matter Of i'm
portance that enlistments should be made
here.
Strange enough there are four applica-
lions OF landsmen to one seaman. Although
there are many wbalemen here annually ut
the close of the Arctic, and while also there
are many merchant-Ship sailors out of EN-
ployment, these do not furnish great num-
Der of recruits, as the hard chances of the
two services leave many seamen diseased or
manned.
