TO TRAIN APPRENTICES.
Training Station at Newport, r. l.,
Preparing to Accommodate $500.

Newport, r. L.. Nov. 1.-THE officials
of the Newport Naval Training station
are making arrangements for the ac-
comniodation Of 2500 apprentices dur
ing the coming winter. following
statement by Acting Secretary Of the
Navy 1rueman NeWberry, that the
number of recruits to be sent here
would reach that number. Should $500
boys report here for instruction, the
number i'll attendance at present would
be exceeded by more than 1000, and it
is believed that it would be the great
est number to receive training here at
one time.
The establishment Of a new station
in Chicago, expected in the early
spring, which will take about 500 APP
prentices from this station, is one Of
the reasons for the unusually large
number and it is also expected that
the San Francisco station will be aug
mented by an additional 800 recruits
at the expense of the Newport station
This would dcplete the $500 to 1900 and
the latter number is believed to be too
small to fill the places which will be
vacant when the world circlng fleet
finishes its tour. However. there will
be ample time to put almost as many
more through the early courses of in
struction before their entrance into ac-
tual service is necessary.
