cess. But in the navy such a system was manifestly impossible; more than a few years are required to make a perfect modern sailor, and once trained it is obviously to the advantage of the State to retain the mans services for as lcng a period as possible At hrst, when boys were recruited, the term Of service was ten years after the age of IS. Now it has been heightened to IF years, and every inducement is held out to the men to re-engage for fur ther term of service.
 There are recruiting stations at Lon- don and most of the principal seaport towns, and the conditions of admission to the service are by no means str1n- gent. The boy must be between 15 and l615 years of age: he must be able to produce his certificate of birth and the written consent of his parents or guar dians to his enlistment.
 Once admitted to the service the State becomes his guardian, and the parents have no more to say in the matter Of course, there is a strict medical examination, and fair physical qualifications are insisted on. Accord ing to age the height must be not less than feet to 5 feet 31a. and the chest measurement from 30 to 32A inches.
 Starting thus with good basis of health and stamina to work upon, the admiralty takes the lad under its en- tire charge and proceeds to mold him into a first-class English seaman. The lad is fed on the best of food, his ail- ments are attended to by skilled doc tors, he leads the healthiest of lives, and his whole frame is developed by the constant exercise involved in the system of training. This, too, at the most critical period of his life, for the making of the man depends entirely upon the treatment received by the lad.
 It is no wonder that he grows up into a fine, -proportioned man: in the whole crew of British man-of-war it is impossible to find a weedy or Ill pro- portioned individual.
 Of course, being under constant ob- servation during the entire period Of training, the lads of a sickly or un- wholesome disposition are soon weed ed out, and the service knows them no more. The training is largely car ried on in sailing vessels, for despite the fact that canvas is an obsolete fac tor in naval warfare, many authorities still hold that the qualities developed by the old methods of navigation are the best preparation for service under the new regime. Little sailing brigs may be constantly seen cruising in and out of the great Southern dock wards of Portsmouth and Plymouth, and upon these handy vessels the boys acquire readiness and resource. be- come used to prompt action and obedl- ence, and learn in moments of difficulty

Y F there is one thing more than an-
 other which the present interna-
 tfonal crises has brought home to
 the people of the United States, 1t
 is the need of a properly trained
 fighting force to man our navy. Ships we have in plenty; We are justly proud of our White Navy. which includes some of the most powerful battleships to be found in the world. and money to provide as many more as may be needed can be had in abundance.
 But thoughtful people, whose minds are not unhinged by the frantic shriek- ing of the yellow jingoes. are begin ming to ask themselves, what good will these ships be to us unless we have mon competent to sail and fight them? It is little use to answer that in the event of war breaking out volunteers could be obtained by the thousand. Of course they could. Our patriotic spirit ia strong enough to induce every man on the coast line of the Union, whether in the Atlantic or the Pacific, to offer his services.
 Among nations the United States Is the only naval power which has not long since ISCOSIllLCQ LllC Sli1ilSS HI Si4O conditions of sea life wrought by the introduction of steam and iron plating. Every continental power has made ample provision for the scientific train ing of it's sailors. France, Germany and Italy found the problem easy to solve, as the conscription placed the whole seafaring population of the coasts at the disposal of the naval authorities. But in England the adoption of new system was not so easy, because. since the time of the press gang, the idea of compulsory service, whether in army or navy, has never met with favor in the eyes of the British public.
 It is with England, therefore, we must make our comparison, the condi- tion of each country being analogous. The people rule in each land, the spirit of liberty is abroad, and the adoption of the conscription is an equal impos- sibility in either case. Therefore the navy must be manned by volunteers, but the volunteers can no longer be drawn from the mature men of the mercantile marine. The special duties involved render it necessary that the training should be commenced while young. the younger the better.
 Long ago the British Board of Ad- miralty recognized this fact, and ini- tiated a system of recruiting and train ing boys which has proved successful even beyond the hopes of its pro- motors.

and danger the invaluable quality of self-reliance.
 When the boy reaches the age of IS he is admitted as an ordinary sea- man upon one of the regular ships or the navy, and upon his own ability his whole career depends. He may, if he lacks smartness, never rise above the rank of able seaman, or he may, IT ne possesses sufficient ability, rise to be a warrant officer. This Is the highest he can get, the commissioned ranks are absolutely barred to him. In the army a soldier is sometimes promoted to be an officer but in the navy no such ad- vancement is possible.
 The result of this system, carried on for a number of years, is that the British man-of-war sailor has become a class all to himself. There are close upon a hundred thousand men sailing on British warships, and every one belongs to the service and to the ser vice only. No interloper is admitted to their rank; the merchant sailor is never, as in the old days, shipped by men-of-war. Entering as boys the men have never known any other ser vice, the State is their foster nurse, the Board of Admiralty their guard ian.
 Under these conditions a most amaz- ing esprit de corps is developed, dis cipline is readily maintained, because the men from earliest years have been accustomed to the severest form of it. If there is anything stricter than the rule which prevails on board an Eng fish man-of-war, I have never met with 1t. Yet, remarkably enough, in spite of this stringency the system de- YelopS to a marked degree, the habits of sobriety and good order. I have seen more than a thousand sailors on leave together In the streets of Syd- ney, exposed to every temptation ,oI hn ell nf o nj furnish. Yet there was hardly visi- ble case of drunkenness, not a sign of riot or disorder anywhere, and the black lists of the vessels on the fol- lowing morning would record but half a dozen cases of excess. Of course. I do not mean to assert that the British man-of-war'S man never gets drunk. but, as Mulvaney would say, he knows how to carry his linuor like a man.
 By contrast with this orderly, we'll organized method of recruiting, the United States system of shipping men for a three-years' commission seems haphazard and slipshod. And per- haps the greatest of all advantages of the British system is that 1t pre- serves the nationality of the navy. The mercantile marine of England Is large ly manned by foreigners, the navy en- tirely by Englishmen. No foreigner can obtain a berth in one of her Ma jesty's ships, and Uncle Sam, his pat riotism recently aroused, desires also to man his fleet with men of American nationality only.
