RESUMPTION of Naval Enlistments.

The Navy Department recently issued
orders directing the resumption of enlist
ments in the navy. The age Of entering
has been raised the minimum being seven
teen years and the maximum eighteen
years. This change has become necessary
because experience has shown that the I'M
developed boy of fifteen or sixteen years Is
not sufficiently strong to perform the work
expected of HIM. The object is to secure
older boys of better physique. Their
strength will enable them to handle the
heavy type of guns with less fatigue and
exhaustion, and secure a greater rapidity
of loading and general service of the guns.
