You Will endeayor to increase en-
listments in your district as much as
possible in compliance with the bu-
reau of navigation telegram Of this
date. Send in all men whom in your
opinion are good material"
The order is unusual and Is con-
sidered all the more significant com
ing, as it does, shortly after instruc-
tions We're given to exercise extreme
care In the enlistment of men. The
previous order stated that the navy
complement was nearly complete
and that all men enlisted must be
fully qualified in every way. The
new order recalls the previous in
structiOns.
This letting down Of the bars is
taken to mean that the naval DEPART
ment wants a full complement Of
available seamen to man the govern
ment war vessels. Hundreds of able
seamen, who have served in the navy
and now are scattered throughout
the country, are expected to answer
the call for men.

There is a beautiful old legend
that at creations dawn an angeI
came down to earth seeking some
turned with a boquet of flowers, a
baby's smile and a mothers love
When it reached the pearly gates OF
paradise the flowers had withered
the baby's smile had vanished, but

that flowed by the heavenly throne;
and all the angels exclaimed: There
is nothing on earth pure enough for
heaven but mothers love"
