 As far as can learn BIT. Belser mas not told anyone whom he intends to appoint have heard it rumored that be intends keeping Albert Taylor ana George wilson In office.

After examlnation they are' dinary seamen with SIS as their monthly wage They are then allowed a leave of absence so that they may visit their homes. After this they are detailed to duty aboard the vessels Of the navy. Their promotion then de- bends entirely upon their own worth and every opportunity for their pro gress is afforded them.
 Besides apprentice seamen young men having trades of almost any kind are enlisted at salaries of from $2o 10 SI1fe aboard ship is nlade as pleas ant as possible.
