These citizens, however, made it a
point to. hunt up young men whom
they thought would be eligible and
send them to the nearest naval re-
cruiting stations, where, If they passed
the necessary physical and mental ex-
aminations, they were enrolled in the
cruise. When a sufficient number was
obtained in any one city they were
ordered to report at the navy yard so
many nights a week, where they were
drilled by experienced naval officers.
The drilling has been going on for
several weeks, and Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt. who has just returned from
reviewing q Philadelphia contingent,
is immensely pleased with their work.
In all the cities where there are
prospective crews there has been sud-
den and violent demand for sea litera-
ture. and the technical vocabulary of
Capt. Kidd and others is beginning to
have a permanent place in local con-
versation. Now that the sailing date
Is so near there is great excitement,
for the word battleship to the youthful
masculine mind at least is synony-
nous with adventure. Owing to a
splendid spirit of American patriotism
many boys are being allowed to go

their expenses not been paid by pri-
vate citizens. Each man when re-
porting on shipboard is required to
deposit $40, which goes to cover the
cost of his board for the cruise and to
provide him with the necessary outfit
Of clothes. Besides this, he must pay
his expenses from his home town to
the harbor where the battleship is sta
toned. In many cases this transporta-
tion charge is only cents carfare, as
when the recruit is fortunate enough
to live in Boston, New York, Charles
ton or Norfolk, which are all to have
battleships. but when he lives in Des
Moines. for example, his railroad fare
is something of an item.

Sailors Made to Order.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

On August IS, nine American battle
ships will steam out of harbors on the
eastern coast, carrying $500 white-clad
civilian sailors on a naval training
cruise. The ships will proceed to a
rendezvous in the vicinity Of Gardners
bay, Long Island, where the men will
be put through a three-week course OF
training in the technicalities of naval
warfare AT the end of this time the
Navy Department expects to- have a
naval reserve of several hundred train
ed sailors and marksmen, who will con-
stitute valuable fighting material in
time of war.
Thus the navy has at last entered the
preparedness program, usurping the
center of the stage with all the grace
and enthusiasm Of it's early foot ball
days. For the last six months we have
heard much of Oglethrope and Platts-
burg. We have delighted in photo
graphs of rockies riding horseback.
rockies shooting and frying bacon and
rockies bathing in the latest approved
military fashion out of primitive tin
basins until our one vision of Ameri-
can defense has come to be khaki.
Now the navy Is going to see to it that
we hear a thing or two from Gardeners
bay and renew our acquaintance with
the white maritime uniform-after all,
the principal means of American de-
tense.
