Cruise of World for Naval Cadet

ern ship as alluringly as a mine pro-
moter sets forth the merits of his
proposition.
When this cruise was first an
nounced, several months ago, the navy
department issued advertising matter
to draw recruits. One of its most ef-
fective documents was circular let
ter, prepared at Washington, but sent
out from the various recruiting sta
tons. 1t was written in a heart-to-
heart style. The cruise meant, &C.
cording to the letter-writer. that
thousands of young Americans will
have a chance to see the world and
get paid for it. Do people who save
for months or years to 60 abroad ever
regret it? l want to ask you this i'm.
portant question: Are you willing to
travel If you are we'll paid for it, or
would you rather stay at home and
read about it,"
Naturally. when it is put up to him
In that fetching fashion, the young
man concludes that he would good
deal rather travel and get paid for it.
and he HES to the nearest recruiting
station and enlists. Long cruises cost
lot of money, but they bring IN
young men and the navy must have
young men even If they do come high.
Another heart-toheart letter Is ad-
dressed to the young man who Is
tired Of his job. Perhaps you are un-
happy in your present job" writes the
recruiting officer. Perhaps it doesn't
pay you enough. Perhaps there is no
future to it. Perhaps your present
work will never satisfy your burning
ambition to win great success. Well.
now if you want to change your job.
I'd like to have a talk with you and
tell you all about a bluejacket's life
in the navy"
If the young man isn't tired Of his
job that letter is calculated to make
him tired of it, and the navy gets an
other man. Other appeals are mado,
but the cruise talks are what bring
the best results.

WASH1NGTON.-The fighting ships
W are, going on another cruise.
partly TO rthe sake of the cruise and
partly to advertise the navy and at
tract young men to it.. Sixteen of the
battleships will turn their prows away
from the home land and steam of into
the Atlantic, bound on a tour of the
European ports.
For months the publicity experts of
the navy department have been ex-
plotting the voyage for the purpose of
getting young men to recruit. Not all
OF them will be chosen to 60. but they
all have an equal chance and those
who do not go this time will go the
next time, for it is the purpose to
have these cruises every year to make
the service more attractive to young
Americans and cause them to enlist
In such numbers as are required for
the proper manning of the fighting
ships.
The ships that will go are the Con-
necticut, Michigan, Delaware, North
Dakota, Georgia, Nebraska, Rhode Is
land, Virginia, Louisiana, South Caro-
lima. Kansas, New Hampshire, Mime
sofa. Vermont, Mississippi and Idaho.
There will be fiotilla Of destroyers,
the auxiliary cruiser Dixie, the gun
boat Yankton, the hospital ship So
lace and the supply ship Culgoa.
Many Of the young men who will
take their first long voyage on the
cruise are on the fleet as a direct re-

SCOUT BECOMES BIG FACTOR
No Team Can be Stronger Than Its
Man in Search Of Players

Why the supply of major league
baseball talent comes no nearer equal
ing the demand than formerly, des-
pite the tremendous increase in the
quantity of ball players in the land,
is a difficult question, says the Chic
ago Tribune. There are today 10
leagues fully equipped and organized
where there was only one dozen
years ago. 1t would seem as If this
ought to mean 10 times as many ball
players. 1t does in quantity but APP
parently not in quality The number
of major league teams has remained
constant at 16 for the last ten years,
but the competition for players who
are able to hold their own in the best
company is keener every year. 1t is
not because the greater number OF
baseball leagues scatters the talent
more widely. The rules of organic
ed baseball are such that the best tai
ent, no matter in what part of the
country it. may develop, can be con-
centrated by rapid process Of selec-
ton into l6 major-league teams. No
promising player, no matter how re-
mote from the big cities may be his
home or the team on which he plays
can hide his light under\a bushel
for long, even If he tries.
Some scout will locate him and
look him over and. If satisfied the
player has a chance to develop into
good one, that players future no
