December.

The Bureau of Navigation, the oper-
ating head OF the navy, has called on
Maryland for SO firemen, third class,

enlisted in the navy in response 20
the Presid snt's first call for volun-
teers. the officials of the bureau be-
lieve there will be no difficulty in get
ting three dozen or more men in this
rating within the prescribed time
limit.
In comparison with Maryland, New
York City has been assigned $50:
Philadelphia. 25S. and Boston, ia; in
fact. nearly every other large city in
the Eastern naval division has been
given larger quota than has been
assigned Baltimore and the State.
Lieut.. NJ A. Leahy. recruiting Off
Ger for the navy in the Maryland dis
trict, has prepared his forces for an
other drive" until the time limit has
expride, and LieutCom. John Grady,
recruiting inspector for the Eastern
division, has urged that no effort be
spared to put Maryland in the column
of State which get their quota in this
rating.
The requirements for applicants for
firemen. third class. are that they must
be men in good health, between the
ages of 81 and 35, and able to prove
in the customary manner that they
are citizens of the United States. APP
plicants with experience as firemen
can be enlisted either in the second or
first class ratings.
The pay, in addition TO allowances,
is: Firemen, third class. $500 a
month; second class, SAL a month, and
first class. $46.50 amonth. The en-
listment is for period of four years.
Firemen are rapidly promoted to the
higher ratings in the engine-room
forces and many of the present war
rant and commissioned officers of the
navy began their careers in the fire.

MT. ST. MARY's
Printing For St. Johns Game Satur-
day.

Mt. st. Mary's football squad at
Emmittsburg got under way in good
shape yesterday in preparation for
her game with st. Johns here on
Saturday. Due to the hard game with
Gettysburg last Saturday Coach
Thompson gave the boys the lightest
kind of signal drill Monday, ending
with general talk on formations and
defensive work Although not yet in
the win column the Mt. st. Mary's
boys have been playing out of their
class, which is due to the change of
schedule This is a trying handicap
inasmuch as the Mount had to start
in with an entire green team. So far
the boys have come out of all the bat
ties in. good shape.
Much interest is being manifested in
the outcome of the game with st.
Johns, and it is safe to say that the
Cadets will have no easy time with
the Mountaineers. Saul is improving
daily in his punting and the work of
Chapman, Daniels and Durkin in the
backfield has added new life to the
rooters for the remaining games of
the season.
