TT am delighted that the President
has seen At TO order the increase in the

and when the new ships and those ships

elamoring for men, the shortage be-
comes even more marked.

the authority which congress gave him
IN taking this step, which / may say, we
have been expecting for some time"
Asked regarding the plans for re-
cruiting in the Islands, Captain Clark
said; a ,,a.
"There is not much that we have
not already been doing that we can do,
even under the new instructions. The
ited--at least much more limited than
it would be in a community of this

creasipg by leaps and bounds of late,
ever since the war crisis began. 1t al
ways does when the pull comes and
men are really needed for actual SER
vice. ~ 5,...r. a !.
The captain estimated that, based
upon the last reports from the main
land as TO the rate of increase, the
navy now has about sixty-two OF three
thousand men, and possibly sixty-five
thousand. There are therefore, at least
twenty-five to twenty-five thousand
men needed at once, said Captain
Clark. .
az have not received any orders af-
feeling the naval militia here added
the captain, "and of course am not
aware what plans the department has
for them, but it is quite possible that
they viii be called out if they are
needed as they are likely to be-"
There are now one hundred and
twelve members Of the naval militia,
and the authorized strength of the
body is set at two hundred and fifty.
If recruited to full strength and called
out, there will be ample room for the
naval militia ON the st. Louis, the sta.
tion cruiser, to which they probably
would be assigned for duty imnedi-
ately. EA
The navy department announced
March 3 that the enlisted personnel OF
the navy had increased 1902 in the
last four years. On March 3, 1919, the
number Of enlisted men In the service
was 47,3H, as compared with 59,S4a

has control of the railway owned canals.
England has 1000 miles of neglected

the railroads are raising freight rates
more than fifty per cent there is grow
