RECRUITING FOR NAVY
SHOWS GOOD RESULTS
Enlisted Strength Now Nearly
70,000-Want 1900
More at Once.

Washington. April 13.-The tremend-
Gus recruiting campaign for the navy
is beginning to show results.
During the first IL days of April a
net gain Of 4.S71 men for the regular
service was recorded. The figures for
the last two days of that period were
respectively 535 and 55S men, showing
the steady increase in the daily aver
age of applicants
The total enlisted strength now is
approaching the 10000 mark. Presi-
dent Wilson has already authorized re-
cruitment to $1,000. the maximum al
lowed, and pending legislation will
provide for total force of 1877 900, in
cluding the coast defense reserve, the
only present volunteer element.
When the $1,000 figure is reached II
is possible that sub enlistments will be
permitted for the duration of the
war;" which would enable the active
service to be filled up with war volun-
teers.

TO ASSEMBLE
FOOD FLEET
IMMEDIATELY
Government Will Take Over
Many Lake and Coastal
Vessels.

Washington, April 13.-Plans to re-
lease for government use many coast
wise vessels on both the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts are under way among
the chief railroads.
Through the council of national de-
fense. the government has requested
the roads so to rearrange their sched-
ules and facilities as to permit the re-
lease of virtually all vessels in coast
wise trade to the government. Many
of the ships thus released probably
would be used in the transportation
Of foodstuffs and supplies to the allies
pending the construction Of the gov
ernment's fleet of wooden vessels, the
first Of which will be ready in about
five months. -.- ,.
Steamships operating on the Great
Lakes also will be used for the same
purposes.
A fleet for the trans Atlantic trade,
officials believe, could be obtained
quickly by taking over the chief coast
wise vessels plying out Of New York
ports. On the Pacific there are only a
lew NCbsciS Souiu Dt Iiiduc avail
able for this trade.
The chief problem confronting the
railways In working .out the plan is to
dispose of the burden of traffic at pres
ent carried by the coastwise vessels.
The railroads are at present operating
almost to the maximum. but through
pooling their interests in equipment,
hope to evolve plan under which
most of the coastwise traffic can be
diverted to rail lines.
To permit the shipping board to op-
crate at its maximum efficiency with
out the handicap of Inadequate capac-
ity. democratic leaders in congress are
considering a proposal to increase the
sum placed at the boards disposal
from $50. 900, 900 to $500. 900, 900. The
latter sum. 1t is thought would be
needed when the wooden ship program
