STARTS TODAY ON FINE TRIP.
Earl Riley Goes for Thirty Day
Cruise on U. S. Battleship.

Postmaster Earl Riley, of Decatur
City, leaves today to report to the
commanding officer of the U. S. S.
Illinois, at the Navy Yard at Norfolk,
Virginia, on August 18th, being one
of the very few Iowa citizens who
passed a successful examination and
were enrolled for the civilians
cruise from Maine to the Bermuda
Islands, there being about 800 men,
bers in the party, and the trip will
occupy about thirty days from the
date of sailing. The object of the
trip is to instruct the members in
war maneuvers, aeroplane, gun and
signal practice, so their services
would be available in case this coun-
try should engage in war. We under-
stand that but five persons will go
from the whole state of Iowa. A
regular examination, physical and
mental was required and owing to
the high markings which Earl re-
ceiyed on his examination he has
been notified that he has been en-
rolled in the Yeoman class. A Yeo-
man is a petty officer, and there are
only twelve of them allowed on a
modern battleship, and their work
frequently brings them in close and
confidential relations with the SUI
perior officers. Mr.. Riley is indeed
fortunate in being one of the chosen
few to make this fine trip, ac it will
give him an insight into many
things connected with battleship
which it would be otherwise impos-
sible to obtain.
