For obvious reasons fishermen

glorious victory with green crew
that he had Just picked up from
among the fishermen OF New England.
Now. however. sailors are not need

the modern man-of-war. and so from
the interior recruits are coming who
are as good naval men as any In the
world.
With the commission OF new men

or these nearly $1,000 men. It IS
interesting to learn that no fewer
than 2S.3l9 are whites. The remain
ing $500 men of color include 1925
negroes, 5l3 japanese, 3S4 Chinese,
2i7 .Fillpinos. 81 Samoans. 2S Porto
Ricans. 90 Hawaiians and North
American Indians. This surely is va
rlety.
We see no FiIipinos. samoans or
Hawaiiaus on the continent, because
the Filipinos are used among their
native islands, the Samoans police

wailans arc kept at the naval station
at Honolulu.
or the men OF the navy who are
not citizens OF the United States, an
extraordinary variety OF former resi-
dence Is discovered. From the Cape
Verde islands in the Atlantic, the
Caroline Islands I'm the Pacific. the
British East Indies. Armenia, Rou
mania, Turkey and Samoa these
sailor lads have come to serve under
the stars and stripes.
The subject OF assertions from the
American navy is one which excites
much discussion. and In some quar-
ters apprehension Is expressed that
desertions are an extremely bad sign
OF something. But during the year
only 1927 men deserted, which Is
less than II per cent OF the total en-
listed strength, and this Is said by
competent authorities not to be
alarmingly large.
The chief OF the bureau OF navi-
cation, the philosophical Rear Ad-
miral Converse, says that the navy
can stand comparison I'm respect OF
dcsertlons with any other calling. He
asks, how many young men, after
trying one trade. will abandon II for
another? And he points out the
peculiar temptations on shore TO
which the men OF the navy are sub
jected. and the number OF apparent
desertlons which are only delays in
reporting for duty.

most OF the bright young enlisted
men OF the navy come from Chicago
