Enlistments in Navy
Show a Falling Off

Fewer men enlisted in the Omaha dis
trict for service in the United States
navy during 1914 than in 1913. This Is
laI gely accounted for by the suspension
Of enlistments last May. when no more
men were needed for a while. and the
lack OF publicity when enlistments wore
resumed later. Stricter physical require
ments also account for the decrease in
enllstments.
Figures prepared by Chief Petty Of
ficer High OF the local navy recruiting
station show the enlistments 20 have
been 16s In 1914. out OF 76s applicants. The
