WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. - Navy re-
cruiting agents have been instructed to
Immediately enlist 25,00O men. While
the current navy bill authorizes a peace
strength Of 10000 men it carried ap-
preparations for considerably less than
that number, since the department had
estimated that in the normal course of
events not more than 10000 recruits
above the number necessary to replace
men discharged could be found.
Officials have been encouraged by
recruiting returns during the winter
months, which have brought the actual
strength up to nearly $4,000 men al
ready.
In the event of war probably the first
act of the President will be to authorize
the enlistment of the maximum war
time strength of 5000. Probably this
could be quickly accomplished by a
provision in the department 'regula-
tions permitting volunteers to enlist for
the duration Of the war and not bind
ing them to n full enlistment in times
Of peace.

WILSON TO VISIT
CAPITOL FREQUENTLY
Has Found Process Slow in Calling to
the White House Men He Wishes
to See

WASHINGTON. Feb 9 President
Wilson plans to visit the capitol and exec
utive departments frequently from now
on, whenever he desires in nformation
quickly or wants to take steps in connec
ton with legislation. It was stated Off
cially today that no surprise or alarm
need be felt if the President suddenly
goes To the capitol at any hour of the
day. So many pending questions have to
be taken up that the President has found
il too slow to call to the White House all
the men he desires TO see. Mr. Wilson is
now making few routine engagements and
is keeping virtually all his time open for
work in connection with the foreign situa-
ton
