be used III cases of emergency, such
as a war, and will not be used to fill
up the gaps In the ranks of the enlist
ed men In peace time. The reserve is
being organized on the theory that the
present ships of the navy are or will
be fully equipped with enlisted men.
In war time, however, many ships
are added to the navy for use as auxil-
iary cruisers, tenders, colliers. etc, and
It Is for the purpose of having trained
crews at once to man these vessels
that the national naval reserve will be
organized.
While former enlisted men will form
a large part of the national naval re-
serve, its members, according to Mr..
Roosevelt's plans, will not be confined
to them alone. Any civilian who Is
familiar with the running of any or all
parts of ship will be eligible to be-
come a member Of the reserve.
For instance, man may be able to
run a motorboat engine skillfully. con-
sequently he would fit in nicely run
ming ships launch in wartime. The
only difference between the former en-
listed man and the civilian will be in
becoming members of the reserve. The
qualifications Of the man who has once
served in the navy will Of course be
known, and he will be admitted with
out an examination. The civilian, how
ever, will have to undergo simple ex-
animation, in order to determine the
place for which he is best qualified.
Once completed, the national naval
reserve Will consist of seamen and non
commissioned officers capable of per-
forming all manner of duties around a
ship, from cooking in the galley to
running hydroaeroplane.
The total cost Of organizing and
maintaining the national naval reserve
will be so small that the assistant Sec
retary Of the navy anticipates little op-
position to his plan in congress. The
total cost, as he estimates 1t, VIII not
be more than $4,000 a year.
Each member Of the national naval
reserve viii be on Uncle Sans payroll.

former are wanted for the vmanufac-

Fine woods are depressed In value
because the war is preventing the ex-

There are signs that seem to indi-

slump has been disastrous one for
the selling side of the market and
thousands of drovers the country over
have gone dead broke on the deal. A
study Of the general market situation
on both sides OF the water fails to re-
veal a sufficient cause for so great a
decline. As usual. the entire situation
seems TO be playing a special benefit
