VALLEY
WILL FURNISH
EXCELLENT
RECRUITS
Naval Recruiting Officer
Tells of Advantages Of
/ fered in u. S. Navy.

The navy has opened recruiting
office at the Princess hotel, where
young men are being examined and
accepted for service in the navy, the
nations first line of defense.
Men are urgently needed for the
navy at this time-more so than ever
before. Ships are being built or put
in commission faster than trained men
can be secured to properly man them.
The magnificent ships we have now
are of no avail as a protection to
the shores of America unless properly
manned. A n-o'-warsman cannot
be made over night, no matter how
good the raw material. 1t takes
months of patient labor to develop a
proficient man for our ships Of war.
Our modern ships are mass Of in
tricate machinery-it takes specialists
to properly care for and operate
them. The efficiency of the fleet is
measured by the efficiency of each
unit or ship, and the efficiency of
each ship is measured by the indi-
vidual efficiency of her officers and
men, as we'll as team work of the
several units.
The first duty of each true Amer
icaH citizen is to his country. At this
time the president has appealed to
the patriotic citizens to come for
ward and give their services to their
flag.
In addition to the patriotic nature
of this duty, the navy offers many
advantages to the ambitious boy or
man. Favoritism is unknown and
each man stands on his own merits.
Promotion is rapid for the ambitious
and the hustler soon forges ahead.
The pay is excellent. An opportunity
is offered for an education and for
travel, and a man returning to civil
life after an enlistment in the navy
will be improved mentally, morally
and physically, and will take memo
ries with him that will be pleasure
to him the rest of his life. The navy
develops men of courage, it makes
loyal citizens cf them and they will
he a credit to their parents and coun-
try. Many trades are represented in
the navy. Every boy is encouraged
to decide on the particular branch or
trade he is most interested in and
fitted for and every opportunity is
goven him to develop into master
tradesman.
Mr.. Haddon states that they feel
sure that Imperial Valley will come
to the front and furnish their share
for the navy at this time. Recruit
ing is booming all through the coun-
try, but more men are urgently need
ed right now. -.
Any one desiring to enlist, or wish
ing any information regarding ehe ma
w, is invited to call at the Princess
hotel, where the navy will be fully
and frankly explained.
