The eternal hankering for adven-

II is this desire to experience what
escapes the humdrum citizen that
impels most of the enlistments in
Uncle Sans floating fighting force,
according to the men of the sea who
are in charge of the newly opened
recruiting station on the second floor
of the building at Pennsylvania

find that out after you've talked
to them awhile. Some of them admit
they want to see the world, but most
OF them don't rightly know just what
is driving them to the sea.
Want to Serve Flag.
Some of them come to us because
they have a friend IN the service. A
few of the younger ones will say
right out that they want to serve
the flag but the majority of them
are as modest concerning their pat
riotism as concerning their lust for
adventure"
The present office opened the fif-
teenth of this month and to date
twenty-four men and boys have made
applications. or these only three have
come up to the requirements. The
greatest cause for rejection is defec-

his mouth, including four opposing
mOlars.

applicant and every seeker of infor-
nation is kept at the Office. and these

The pondcfots quarrel between

other night was revival of White
Hope days.
The wonder Of 1t is that out of all
that White Hope army, six or seven
carloads of human flesh, only one
good man was developed. Willard is
no marvel, save in physique, but he
has been shining light compared to
the others.
1t is hard to believe that SO many
of these ex-White Hopes, or White

ing and fighting for SO long without
absorbing even a breath of science or
skill.
You would have thought that two

THE SP0RTL|GHT
Winning the Third.
sy oRANrLANp RICE.

The Old Cubs. one OF the greatest
machines that ever rompcd mcrrils
over PROSTATE rivals, were still not
powerful enough to win three world
series in n row.
They hooked the Tigers neatly
enough in 1907 and 1908, but were cut
to pieces by the Htless White Sox in
1906.
The Old Mackmen, another of the
worlds greatest machines, were still
unable to turn in three successive
series counts. They rumpled up the
Cubs in 1910, made hash out of the
Giants in 1911, but in 1912 fell before
the Red Sox in their own league be-
fore the world series time arrived. No
ball club has ever won three success
sivc world series. But all records
stand as targets down the long and
dusty highway of Time and today the
Boston Red Sox are pointing for the
uncNplored country ahead. They are
aiming for a mark that has never been
hit. And, while a number of esteemed
critics refuse to credit them with
greatness, the answer will be written
well beyond any critics output of
words AND phrases. They will belong.
