to Help Swing Illinois Into DEM

HAS GOOD FIGHTING CHANCE.

ports From West Encouraging.

Asbury Park. N. J.. Oct. 17.-Presi-
dent Wilson will go to New York to-
morrow and will leave for Chicago at
o'clock in the afternoon on his third
invasion of the Middle West.
Encouraged by the reports Of his
campaign managers that there Is a
good lighting chance to carry Illinois,
Mr. Wilson has agreed to make three
speeches in Chicago on Thursday.
The program for the day calls for
luncheon reception at the Chicago
Press Club, which will be followed by
an address to a non-partisan women's
meeting at the Auditorium in the
afternoon. The third speech will be
delivered at the Pavilion before the
new Citizens Alliance.
The appeal for the votes of the
women OF Chicago Is expected to be
Mr.. Wilson's greatest effort of the
day. He has been informed that the
suffragists are likely to decide with
their ballots whether Chicago will go
Democratic or Republican on Novem-
Der 7.
Mrs. Wilson Goes Alone.
Mrs. Wilson will accompany the
President and will appear at zach Of
schedule arranged, the presidential
party will get back to Shadow Lawn
at 11;46 on Friday night Twenty-six
brief stops will be made en- route to
and from CHICAGO.
Optimism amounting almost to tu
bifation prevails at the executive Of
1oes here. Reports from the West and
Middle West telling of big drift In
political sentiment to the Democratic
candidate continue to come in.
Ohio 10 now counted for Wilson as
certainty and Indiana Is considered
decidedly in the balance. II Illinois
can be won over the Presidents man
ayers claim he can be reelected with
out New York State. Included in
these calculations. however. are several
Western States. which tho Republicans
claim as certainty.

>...- u~,un company had just re-.
ccived from the government contracts
for the building of numerous locks In
the Ohio river He agreed with the
spirit of conservatism of the board
and shared it. He had heard the ru-
mors with relation to the Oldham Mer-
camille company and had sifted them
to their depths and had found them
without basis In fact. However. he
had just called in a block of their
notes. He painted a rosy picture Of
the condition of the bank and the
prospects of the future. He reminded
the directors that they had given him
free hand in the past and pointed to
the institution as monument to his
accomplishment At the termination
of which speech, so convincing and so
dominant was the personality of the
man. Director Hinton withdrew his
protest and the institution was left
under the former guidance.
1t was three days later that things
began to happen. Gard had called up
on Bank Examiner Allen to come to
his assistance. The two of them had
conferred the night before and settled
upon a plan of campaign for testing
the stability of the affairs of the bank.
1t was in accordance with this plan
that the rotund and genial Allen break
tasted in that dining room where the
special agents suspicious had first
been aroused. Bayard Alexander was
at his usual table and Allen allowed
the banker to see him although he ap-
peared not to be aware of it. 1t was
also in accordance with the cards
played by the men of the government
service that Special Agent Gard, still
a bit seedy in his hand-me-down suit,
was loafing on the sidewalk opposite
the Second National bank when the
cashier came to work. 1t was a part
of his plan that he should see as much
as possible of what went on in the in
stitution when the word was passed
that the examiner was in town.
Gard was not surprised, therefore,
when a messenger emerged from the
bank and hurried off down the street.
He believed that the story of the book.

enacted before bis eyes. He followed
the messenger to another bank two
blocks away and there saw him pre-

There are other advantages to being
an American tar than having wife in
every port, if we are to believe the con-
versatiOn picked up around recruit
ing station. And, strangely enough, 1t
is the idea Of growing rich, one of the
thoughts furthest from the minds Of
the ordinary man entering the navy.
which seems to be the greatest draw
ing card. At least that looms largest
In the minds Of the men who are doing
the recruiting. There is glamour to
the tar's life, romance to his adven-
lures. Moreover, the chance to go
about the globe and see something OF
foreign shores is alluring to many,
even though it is sandwiched in be-
tween endless decks to wash and eter-
nal brasses to polish. In the Harris
burg Telegraph recruiting officer tells
of the financial advantage of going into
naval service. 1t ought to appeal
greatly to the man who is without re-
sponsibility, and to whom the prospect
of ever having stacked up $4,000 Is
classed along with owning flying car

Our recruiting officer says:
"Do you want to retire at the age OF
fifty with SOS, 7SS.7O, and have an in
come of at least $1O4 month for the
remainder of your life?
IF you do, join the United States
navy.
"The American sailors are the best
paid in the world, and after thirty
years of service the man-O'-warsman Is
| retired on q pay of not less than $1O4
a month, and, in addition, should have
| saved SOS, 7SS.70 from his monthly pay.
A young man enlisting at the age Of
eighteen as an apprentice seaman will
be paid $17.6O a month during six
| months spent at training station and
receive an increase to $2O.9O a month
when he boards q ship. By the end OF
| his first enlistment, under ordinary
course of advancement, he should be
receiving $33 a month, and meanwhile
he is QUILTED with clothes and all ne
cessities. If he re-enlists within four
months after the expiration Of his first
enlistment, he will receive a seven
dollar monthly increase in pay, and a
bonus of four months pay in addition.
| If by the end of his second enlistment
he should have received goOd-cOnduct
| medal (Which adds SO cents month
to his pay), he should be receiving $55
a month. After twelve years he should
have reached chief petty officers pay
with a salary of $99.62 a month, and
thereafter his pay is increased with
each enlistment. Good-cOnduct and
other medals for meritorious services
| also add to his pay. Under ordinary
courses, according to the figures fur
nished by the navy department, a sailor
usually saves One-half of his pay,
which is deposited in the ships bank.
receiving 4 per cent interest. Thus.
beginning at the lowest level In the
navy and reaching the highest point
| in the service as an enlisted man, after
the end of twelve years and continuing
| in this capacity for sixteen years, the
average sailor retires after thirty
years of service with pension of $1O4
month, besides having the $4,000 or
more in addition.
