NAVY NEEDS 5000
MEN FOR SHIPS
JackieS Will be Wanted When
War Fighters Get in
Service

WASHINGTON, D. c., July S--The
naval authorities declare that 5000 more
men ought to be recruited for the navy,
In order 10 man the new ships which arc
being put into commission from time 10
time.
The Administration program OF econ
omy in expenditures for the army and
navy collides directly with this situation.
The army and navy authorities are maxi
ing determined effort TO carry out the
Presidents retrenchment plans. To that
end they are trying to figure how that can
get along with 5000 or perhaps only $500
increase in the nsvy's enlisted force.
There is complaint that building ships at
a cost of many millions. and then failing
properly TO man them. is at best dubious
policy The building Of new ships goes
right on, with more probability for an en-
larging than of a decreasing program in
future.
Besides this, there is not the excuse
which once existed for an undermined
navy. Time was a few years ago, when
it was impossible to get men enough for
the navy. To-day the full force, lacking
only 200. is on the navy rolls. The increase
of navy pay, the inducements in the way
of competition and prizes, medals. recog-
milton and promotions for special merit
have made the naval service much more
attractive than formerly. Finally, the
expansion Of the fleet and the growth oi
interest in il due TO the voyage around
the world, have given it a renewed power
over the imagination Of just the kind Of
young men who are wanted; and there
has been no time since the civil war wher
the right kind Of enlistments were Sc
easily secured as now.
What We want said a naval Officer
recently. ARE farmer boys from the Mid
die West; preferably a boy raised on {
farm. with farm constitution and habits
who has served an apprenticeship in Z
machine shop of some kind and has an ap
titude for machinery; and who can pla,
a first-class game OF baseball. He'll b'
CERTAIN to make good sailor And that
the kind we are getting, too"
