Fifty publishers from the leading cities of the country were present. Former Congressman Rich ard Bartholdt of St. Louis, was among those present at the meeting.
 Politics received little attention and that informally" said MT. Ear tholdt. of course, it is understood that Germans generally are not pleased with President Wilson's idea of neutrality, nor do they like Col. Roosevelt, but the organization was not formed with any idea of con- certed action. The German editors do not want a pro-German president nor pro-British president, but they do want a president-American presi- dent"

HIGH WAGES ASHORE
seriously HAMPER
NAVAL RECRUIT ING

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23. - High
wages ashore and the increased cost
Of living have seriously hampered
navy recruiting, Rear Admiral
NcGowan, general, told
rhe House Naval Committee today In
explanation of why there are only
about 5000 enlisted men in the SER
vice although Congress has author
lied total strength Of 1000. He
said it was hoped that a total OF
10000 could be reached by the END

enough money to keep those depen-
dent upon them is the governing tac-
tor in preventing many men from
enlistins." said the admiral. From
! long experience with the accounts OF
blueiackets, he said, he was certaln
majority had wives, mothers, SIS
ters or other dependents at nome,
adding:
And they are the most generous
and big hearted men that ever lived.
We are lust about Keeping even in
recruiting now and that conditlon
will continue while the present nigh
wages prevail
Re-enlistments now average above
S5 per cent Of the available men and
the percentage steadily is going up.
There is something about the life
that men lore" Admiral Mc(rowan
said. Most OF those who make good
in the navy love it so we'll that they
want to stay"
Representative Kelley, Of Michigan
asked if an increased pay scale
would not aid recruiting. The Ad-
mlraI said it undoubtedly would, but
that pay was not the only considera-
ton. He agreed to submit later sug-
cestions as to ways and means OF
speeding up recruiting.
Aside from slow enliStments the
witness said the navy was feeling
directly the high cost Of living. The
average cost per. man per day for ra.
tions in 1916, he said. was 3I.062
cents; but in the last quarter OF that
year a figure OF 3S975 cents was
recorded, indicating a heavy advance
for the whole Of the 1917 year.
Careful purchases lit great bulk re-
duced costs somewhat. but he warned
The committee that additional ap-
propriationS on this item for 1917
might be necessary. as the quantity
