BRIGHT FUTURE FOR
YOUNG MEN IN NAVY

The navy needs hospital apprentices
according 10 a call received at the
| local recruiting office from the secre-
tary of the navy
Young men Who are in school high
school college or preparatory schools
Of good character. and who can pass
the physical examination required by
the high standard of the navy are
the men for this service, said Chief
Electrician Winans, in charge Of tho
Ardmore naval recruiting station. 1T
is perhaps one of the best branches Of
the naval service today and offers
fine chances f0T advancement TO the
man who is not afraid to study and
work 10 get IT, Any man who studies
land works and takes advantage of the
training and education given in the
hospitals corps training schools aud
finishes a fouryear enlistment in the
navy can pass any pharmacists ex.
animation in civil life. Attention is
invited to the fact that applicants for
this branch OF the service must not be
less than eighteen years of age, and
not more than twenty-five
THE navy also wants machinists
and tremen and is Offering attractive
inducements to young men. The ad.
yantages offered to the men in the
enlisted personnel OF the engineering
force is unparalleled in civil life. The
average machinist today receives ap.
prONimately S315 per day, possibly a
little more. In the navy the machinist
starts in at $i4 per month, and as
fast as he qualities for a higher rate.
he IS given more money, and to the
average young man Of today there is
not single reason why in five years
time he should not have reached the
rank OF warrant machinist, with pay at
the rate OF from $17OO to $24OO a
year

Prior to the announcement of the
Kings decision many Greeks, loyal
to the crown, gathered for the pro-
lection of the sovereign. On Monday
night 10000 reservists formed cor
don around the palace in his defense
if that should be necessary, and a
delegation, headed by Naval Com
mander Mavromichaelis, was received
by Constantine and pledged the de-
votion of the army and the people to
his cause. The Kings only reply was
an appeal that they should remain
calm.
All efforts Of agitators to start a
manifestation failed and the army Of
ficers announced their intention to
obey the order Of the government to
take no part in any demonstration AMI
to maintain peace.
Agitators were still attempting to
operate in the streets of Athens to-
night, but there were no disor ders,
and everything leads to the belief
that there will be none.
