cruiting Office in Philadelphia has al
ready become the foremost one of It's
kind in the United States. So success

construction are placed in service.
The station is in charge of Lieutenant
Commander Charles Laird. u. $. N.
During the first five weeks the office
was opened for recruiting, from Jan. Is
To Feb. %. there were over 400 appli-
cants. OF these 81 passed the exam
ination and are now ready to be mus
tered into service. All of the new men
are native-born and are of charac-
ter superior to the recruits in other
cities. There are over 5000 vacancies
in the naval service at present, and
this number will be materially in
creased before the session Of congress
is ended. as provision must be made
for several men-of-war to be named
within a year.
Tho recently enrolled men will join
the ranks as landsmen, the lowest
grade OF the seamen's branch. They
are chiefly laborers. farmers, mechan-
ics and clerks who enter the service at
the pay of SIC per month and rations.

vate the naval service throughout. and
inducements are now offered so as TO
make IL desirable for a good class of
young men to enlist Preference is given
