must also be made OF George Hall. the treasurer.

MORE MEN NEEDED IN THE NAVY

GOOD TIMES on SHORE REDUCING THE MIN
Der OF ENLIsTMENTs
That the increased activity in nearly all line, Of
business shore. the general increase Of waees
and demand for workers. have seriously in
terfered with the plans OF the Government relative
TO the increase OF the strength Of the Navy Is
acknowledged by officers Of the service whose duty
connects them with the enlistment Of men. This
trouble does not affect the sailor men alone but Is
felt In other branches OF he service. While there
Is plethora OF Officers OF the lire below nag rank
In the staff things are entirely different In the
engineer corps In spite OF the fact that Secretary
Herbert has assigned eight OF the six-year naval
cade; graduates to service assistant engineers.
there still exist seventeen vacancies most OF which
have been created since the beginning OF the cal
endar year. and three graduates failed OF adm',-
sion to the corps through n lack Of proficiency in
steam engineering.
In the medical corps retirements and deaths In
the last six months have reduced the strength Of
that branch OF the service until 1t Is entirely In
adequate to the demands upon II. and there are at
present twelve vacancies with the possibility OF an
adverse decision by the President In the OF Or.
Kershner. making the number thirteen. This Is not
to be wondered at. as the inducements offered by
the Government not such as would tempt a
thorough physician or surgeon 10 give up even n
chance Of a successful shore and enlist IN
tho service AMI 1t is probable that the number Of
vacancies In this corps will increase rather than
diminish.
1t Is with the question Of enlisted men. however
that the Department Is having bad quarter OF an
hour present. The possibility OF advancement to
petty office and the certainty OF comparatively easy
work inducements to men who are capable
OF fulfilling the physical requirements OF the ser

shore work at n rate OF pay much higher than that
allowed TO its seamen whether abe or ordinary. by

the enlistment Of 1000 men. but. by peculiar mis-
chance. no provision made for equippng them
