Naval Recruits Can Secure Discharge

In the naval appropriation bill re-
Gently passed by congress is incorpo-
rated an article that should prove
very attractive to boys and young
men who are thinking Of enlisting in
the y. S. navy. This article is to the
effect that after Aug. 20, 1916, any
man who enlists in the navy may, if
he so elects, after the completion of
one years service at sea, be dis
charged from the navy, without cost
to himself, during the months of
June and December the year follow
ing, provided he is not in debt to the
government, and that his conduct is
such as to warrant this favor. 1t is
believed this provision will have a
marked aefect in securing the 10000
extra men authorized in the bill.
