PHILADELPHIA YOUTHS
FOR FOREIGN SERVICE
Many in Naval Reserve Will Help
Transport Troops to
France

Several hundred youths of Philadelphia
who enlisted in the Naval Coast Defense
Reserve will be available for foreign service,
Many, II Is believed will be assigned to the
transport fleet which will carry the army to
France
When the men enlisted in this branch OF
the service it was the understanding that
they would not be sent out of the naval
district which extends from Barnegat Bay
to Chlncoteague, Va. But with various ex-
tensions Of the service 1t became neces-
sary for more men for foreign service
Many In the naval coast defense, there
fore, waived their right to remain in this
country and were glad to have opportunity
to be near the scene of action. A large
majority of the men In this branch of the
service, it is said have made great head
way and will be Of much service on the
regular battleships of the fleet.
Nearly thousand yohng Phladelphians
are being granted at Cape May. Several
hundred more are expected there shortly
and new barracks are being built to ac-
commodate them.

Of the new terminal yard appurtenant to
the South Philadelphia track elevation

almost 81 a cubic yard.
There were only two bids received. Wares
bid was sixty-four cents per cubic yard
while the only other bidder, Adolph Ja'
folla asked $1.61 per cubic yard. There
are $4,000 cubic yards Of material to bs
furnished.
The right of way will extend from
point on Broad street several hundred feet
north of the Philadelphia Navy Yard to
the proposed freight yards.
Unofiicially, the vast difference in hs
two bids received today was said to "
due to the fact that Senator Ware can
use for filling purposes the ashes he cor
lects under his contract with the city, whis
Jafolla has not that advantage,
