STILL CHANCES
To ENLIST IN
NAVAL RESERVE
Many Still Needed for Naval
Coast Defense Re-
serves.
SURGEON HERE ON FRIDAY
Those Who Enlist in the Re-
serves Are Immune From Any
Other Call, and Will Remain
Near Brunswick.

Many more men are needed for the
United States Navy Coast Defense
Reserves in Brunswick, and those
who enroll this week will be exam
ined at once This branch of the
service is one OF the most attractive
as the work is done in and about To-
cal waters. 1t is regular part of
the reserve forces of the navy, and
men in it are exempt from service in
other branches of the service
Past Assistant Surgeon w. P Dey,
with headquarters at Jacksonville
has been assigned to Brunswick and
he will be here Friday and Saturday
to examine men who have enrolled.
Lieut.. Walter Manguln, commanding
This section, requests that all men
who have enrolled but have not been
examined, present themselves at this
time.
Others who dfs jre to enter the ser
vice should see hieut Mangum at
once, The limit for this section has
not been placed at present, but it is
liable to be set in a short time and
all intending to volunteer their SER
vices should do so at the present
time, when they can be examined and
all papers completed.
The examinations will be held in
the postoffice building on the second
floor. The offices of Lieut. Mangum
beginning tomorrow, will no longer
be in the postoffice building, but will
be on the second floor Of the A., B.
and A. office building next to the
Oglethorpe hotel
Men enrolled in this branch OF the
naval reserves will be assigned to
trolls. The work is most attractive
and large number of Brunswickians
have enrolled. There is urgent need
for cooks and radio operators as well
as seamen. However, it is not neces-
sary that man have any seafaring
experience to be enrolled 1t is more
than probable that all who enroll will
be given q short tour of training and
in this way learn something of the
work to be done. In addition to the
commander and engineering force
there will be only two or three train
ed men on each vessel, and men with
out experience will be taught their
duties by these offiuers and men.
There are many places open at the
present time in the petty officers
class and men with some experience
are alsaost sure of securing one OF
these places. The pay is the same
as that in the regular navy, and
many excellent chances for promo
tiOn will be offered

English and French Seem to Be
Tightening Their Grip About
The Germans.
BIG SCALE BLOW EXPECTED
Peace Rum0r Talk Still Per-
vades-Allies Made Heavy
BOmbardment on the linden
burg Lines.

The second phase of the great bat
ties of Arras, the Aisne and Cham
pagne has ended in the complete
failure of the most determined and
costly German efforts to stem the
tide of victory setting against them.
The net result of Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg's supreme effort to
regain the initiative has been that
the British and French have tighten
ed their grip on the German line and
have placed in great peril the key
positions held by the Germans in
northern France.
The customary lull. which separate
all manner of battle in modern war
fare, has come and the expectation is
that it will be broken by a British
blow on a great scale against the
Drocourtpueant line, already prac-
tically outflanked
In the meantime, the usual crop OF
peace rumors which marks these lulls
has made its appearance. Reports
from all kinds of sources, unofficial,
semi-official, inspired" and the like,
tell of offers from Austria to Russia
Germany to Russia and Austria and
Germany to the collective entente
lowers. The unnamed diplomats who
apDarentS infeSt Switzerland are I'M.
usually active, but there is nothing
tangible or authentic to show what
these reports are worth.
The latest German-Spanish crisis
has subsidized with the receipt by
Madrid OF assurances from Berlin
which Premier Prieto announces as
satisfactory. Germany promises to
respect SPANS rights in her terri
torial waters, but the text Of the com
munication is not made public.
