sonal standard of the men in this
pranch has been so high that it
might be said to be one of the rare
organizations in which enlisted men
of sufficient force, education, and in
telligence to deserve recognition by
a commission. find themselves among
men similarly placed and similarly
denied commission by lack of pre-
paration.
The truth of that statement is at
tested by the fact that men are con
stantly being selected for ensigns'
examinations, and assigned later to
small boat or general service with
an independent command
Furthermore advancement in rat
ing is constantly open, and men with
any skill in carpenter, mechanical.
electrical, stenographic, and an in
finite number of other types of work,
will find themselves rated in some
artificer branch. Everyone with a
special talent, from mechanical
draughtsmen to cooks, from musi-
clans to boiler makers will find here
that their special talent Is of direct
military and pay value in the re-
serves.
But men whose aim is to be sea-
men and to secure ratings later as
boatswains and quartermasters are
equally desired. There is a chance
for everyone.
Men may apply direct at the CEN
trail enrolling office in the War Col
lege, Newport, r. l., or they may
enroll for the Second District at the
Naval Reserve Station in the Brook
lyn navy yard. or in Newark, n. j.,
Pittsburg. Pa, Minneapolis. Mimi,
and st. Louis, Mo.
Information regarding the re-
serve force may also be had by ad-
dressing the Enrolment Office at
Newport
1t is expected that those men who
now find themselves free to take up
arms for their country will fill up
the required quota rapidly.
Those who delay will probably
find themselves out of an opportu-
nifty that is not likely to occur twice.
Service in the reserve is only re-
Quired during the period of the war.

FIFTEEN AMERICANS
LOST ON VIGILANCIA
Thrown From Life Boats In
to Sea by Heavy Swell.

Plymouth March l9.--Nia London
Fifteen members of the crew Of tho
American steamer Vigianca lost their
lives when the steamer was torpedoed
by a German submarine. The sur
Vivors were in lifeboats from Friday
morning until Sunday afternoon.
Among those drowned were several
American citizens, including Third Of
ficer n. p. North and Third Engineer
Carl Adeho1de. This information was
given out by Captain Frank A, Mid
dleton Of New York. who with the
survivors of the Vigilancia, has
reached the mainland and probably
Will make affidavits tomorrow before
the American consul.
To the Associated Press, CAPTAIN
Middleton said today that his vessel
was sunk without warning. 1t was 10
o'clock Friday morning with the
weather clear when the ship was
struck by a torpedo on the starboar rd
side near the No. 3 hatch. Two tor.
pedoes were fired at the steamer. but
the flrst passed harmlessly astern Be
tween seven and ten minutes after the
steamer was struck she foundered.
Two lifcboats were lowered from the
Flsl'ancia and the crew Of 43 men
got into them. owing to tho swell Of
the ocean, however. 25 men were
thrown into the water. The boats Of
the captain and the mates picked up
ten of the men, but the other Is were
drowned.
Captain Middleton says he saw no
submarine during the attack, but that
one of the engineers thinks he saw a
periscope. The captain saw two oily
streaks on the water about 1000 yards
from the steamer, which he took to
be the track of torpedoes. The Wig
ilancia was flying the American flag
and her name and flag were painted
on either side
