II Large Body Of Trained Men.
Ell It may therefore be safely predicted
: that the act creating naval reserve
a and making provision for the qualif-
cation of its members will operate to
; provide a large body of trained and
e experienced ex-service men now in civil
r life, organized and ready upon short
: notice to man our fighting ships in re-
serve and at the same time to increase
e the efficiency OF the regular enlisted
: force by inducing more experienced
4 men to remain in the navy.
e The naval reserve feature Of ma
n val career is, therefore, Of great In
. terest not only to men already enlisted
& but to prospective recruits as well. Il
is, however. only one Of the many at
q tractive features Of the service, con
= corning which the Bureau Of Naviga
IS ton, Washington, and any naval re
d cruiting station will furnish upon re-
n quest such additional infcrmatien al
II may be desired.
