20 were accepted. In speaking OF the
recruiting of men and the induce.

of the government service. Surgeon
Duncan this morning stated that un.
der the reorganization OF the navy
there is an increased demand for
both men and officers. As result Of
the changes, the number Of men re.
qured for naval service is double that
formerly needed. The demand for
more officers improves the chances for
promotion. which Is an extra induce.
ment for enlistment at this time. A
recruiting station was conducted in
Salem about year ago. when about
20 young men entered the naval ser.
