 FOR RECRUITS
PRESIDENT WILSON SIGNS BILL
Need Is Imperative for Men in Navy
 Authorized Strength Is S.,OOO

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 26.--- Saturday night President Wilson signed an executive order directing that the authorized enlisted strength of the navy be increased to S7,000 men. He was authorized by Congress, in the case of emergency, to direct such increase in enlistment. New ships and ships in reserve are being fully commissioned as rapidly as pos sible, and the need is imperative for a larger enlistment to man them. There has been a net increase of $500 in the enlistments since Congress re-
 gently authorized an increase, but
 many more are needed. and needed immediately.
 Will. you not emphasize this need by giving special prominence Monday
 on the first page of your paper, to the | Presidents order, and also by making
 an editorial appeal for new recruits
 for the navy.
 The navy offers exceptional advan- tages to young men of stuff and am bition to serve in the first line for na- tional defense In this emergency you have the opportunity and the privilege
 of performing this public service, and l am confidently appealing to you for
 your cordial and helpful cooperation , JOSEPHUS DANIELS. Secretary of the Navy
