RECRUITS OF HIGH CLASS.
Naval officials Pleased With Report
of Enlistment Branch.

Naval officials are very much encour-
aged over securing a fine class of re-
cruits and over the generally satisfac-
Tables on this subject have been COM
piled by Commander w. r. Shoemaker,
in charge of the enlistment branch of
the bureau of navigation. From these
it appears that there are now 44,129
enlisted men in the navy, as against
33,027 in 1907, and that the percentage
of citizens has increased from 93.1 per
The percentage of native born men in
the navy has also increased from 81
per cent in 1907 to 1874 per cent in 1909.
A specially gratifying feature of the
report is that relating to enlistments,
in which a steady increase is shown.
In 1907 the total enlistments were A.
329, while in 1909 they numbered 49,
1928. The strict requirements for en-
listment are shown by the fact that out
Of $1,000 applicants for admission to
the navy this year all but 1923 were
rejected for physical or other causes
Another cause for congratulation is
the large and steady decrease in the
number of assertions from the service
and the large percentage-65 per cent
OF re-enl;stments. In 1907 the deser!
tions averaged 9.04 per cent, while in
1909 the percentage fell to 55 per cent
Included in the total enlisted streneth
Of 44,129 are AL Filipinos, attached to
the insular force of the navy. Exclud-
ing them from the calculations, the
percentage of American citizens in the
United States Navy, not counting COM
missioned officers, is about IS per cent.
