these titles or to earn this money, for
when the call to service comes you will
have to whip yourself, your men and
your command into navy shape or be
told just exactly where to get off. You
will be an officer of the United States
navy with all the responsibilities of
that position:
The printed circular issued by the
department which details information
pertaining to the naval coast defense
reserve states that all applicants for
enrolment are required to do these
three things: Cay Furnish evidence as
to ability, character and citizenship;
OBJ have such experience and quaHfi-
cations as TO be able to perform use

tention is paid only to the qua1ifca-
tions pertaining to the physical con-
dition of the applicant.
Under the stimulus of imminent war
recruiting has gone on at very rapid
pace, and the enrolling stations in
New York, as well as those in Boston,
Philadelphia and other cities, have
last week. Red tape and formaiity
have been dispensed with. and the ap-
plicant, having filled out his blank and
stated that he believes to be his quail
ifcations, is admitted to the office Of
the enrolling officer, who Questions
him briefly, sizes him up and passes
him on to the examining surgeon.
There he is put through a physical
examination and, if accepted is pass
ed on to another officer who admins
ters the federal oath. His papers are
made out, an order is put through for
his annual retainer of S12, and the ap-
plicant in two hours time has become
an officer in the naval coast defense
reserve.
Service in the reserve in peace time
entails none of the duties which are
required of national guardsmen or
naval militiamen, and, judging from

Profting by the experience gained
by Great Britain in her two year war

United States navy has given orders
for the construction of large feet of

the general regulations governing this
body, it would appear that the naval
authorities had gone out of their way
to make membership in it desirable for
the busy, responsible and patriotic
men of our nation A man is enrolled
for four years, and in that time he
may, if he likes, put in three months
active service, either in periods of two
weeks or in one three months session.
However, he is not required to put in
this active service, and it is not con-
sidered that he shows a lack of pa
triotism by failing to do so, while any
member may voluntarily and honora-
bly, withdraw in peace time before the
expiration of his four years. In time
of war, of course, it is another mat
ter.
In the present state of things, when
many new conditions prevail, and
when officials must accuStom them
selves to performing new duties, it is
impossible for an applicant to the ma
val reserve to find out just what will
be his work upon the declaration of
war. According to his capa bilities,
however, he may ask for engine room
Or deck duty, and it is possible that if
he wishes the latter he will be given
choice of two or three positions For
instance. one of the first men to enroll
at the New York station this week Ga
college graduate who had had nom
professional experience aboard motor
boats of various sizes) was asked
lieutenant commander at some naval
base, ensign on coast defense vessel
or boatswain's mate on one of the no.
footers which are being built. He was
given to understand that service on
one Of these latter vessels might take
him into the thick of the European
fighting, an DISC he accepted the last
named extraordinarily rank. Whether
or not he will see such service is en-
tirely uncertain. It is not at all un-
likely that a wedding out process will
be effected later, and that men who
have been given the rank of ensign
and have thought themselves entitled
to command 60-foot patrol boats will
find themselves doing clerical duty out
of sight Of salt water. Such men must
accept their fate as one of the fortunes
of war.
Most boatmen will wish to enroll for
are most familiar. and it is in their
home waters that they will be of the
greatest value to the navy In this
matter as well the applicant is asked
to state his preference, and most men
who have enrolled in New York. for
example, have asked for duty in the
Third naval district, which embraces
the waters between Barnegat, n. J.,
and New London, Conn.,, and includes
che south shore Of Long Island. Their
normal duties in these waters will
embrace those Of harbor patrol. mine
field patrol, coast patrol. laying mines.
sweeping for enemy mines, operation
against enemy submarines. co-opera-
ton with submarines and aircraft. CO.
operation with land forces, and des-
patch service. Most applicants under
stantd. however (and all should), that
once the federal oath is taken the
members of the reserve are absoluteIv
subject to orders, and that should thew
be told to leave their home waters and
patrol the Panama canal or the North
sea, there will be no course open for
them but to obey. This is another of
the fortunes OF war
