SHOCKING DEGENERACY IN
YOUNG MANHOOD OF COUNTRY

Admiral Ross, U. S. N, the man who
directed the building of the Naval Sta
ton, and who was the first command
ant there, when interviewed in Chicago,
this past week, regarding the plans for
an enlarged navy, mentioned the fact
that some people had spoken of placing
the best blood Of the country in the
army and navy. GAS matter of fact, .
said he, "the navy is already taking the
best blood of the country, rejecting fifty
per cent Of the would-be recruits"
The admiral then explained that about
half the applicants for enlistment are
refused, because of being below nor
NAL physical standard, or because they
are mentally and morally undesirable.
when you think carefully what this
means, you will see that it shows rapid
and shocking deterioration in the quail
ity of our manhood" said the admiral.
"Such degeneracy is a nations peril, in
war or in peace. The men who are I'M
fit for the navy very likely are, in the
long run, unfit to be good citizens. Many
Of them, no doubt, will become depen-
dents before their course has been run.
In Boston recently, out of six hundred
applicant for the navy, only thirty were
accepted. Before we can make soldiers
and sailors, we must have men,"

Last Saturday, Charles N. Steele, of
Waukegan, won hydroplane speed race
at the Worlds Fair in San Francisco.

but owing to the splendid showing made,
a special prize was awarded him.

The greatest budget of expenditures
ever placed before any American con-
