one day for selling the Red Cross
Christmas Seals.
These seals are placed on the re-

of Red Cross Seals, and this day will
be tomorrow, December /, when the

Everybody should give something
to the Red Cross Seals, as the fund

men back from enlistment up till now,
but changing with changing condi-

a loss to select a service.
Those whom chance has made free
for action at this time may consider
themselves fortunate, for few days
ago one of the most popular services
in the country announced that it was
ready for 1000 more recruits
That service is the Naval Reserve
Force OF the Second Naval District, To-
Gated at Newport, II. /. The personal
standard OF the men in this branch
has been so high that 1t might be said
10 be one OF the rare organizations in
which enlisted men, OF sufficient force,
education. and intelligence TO de-
serve recognition by a commission,
find themselves among men similarly
placed and similarly denied COM
mission by lack of preparation.
The truth OF that statement is at
tested by the fact that men are con-
stantly being selected for ensign's ex-
aminations. and assigned later to
small boats or general service with an
independent command.
Furthermore. advancement in rat
ing is constantly open, and men with
any skill in carpenter, mechanical,
electrical, stenographic, and an inf
mite number of other types of work,
will find themselves rated in some
artificer branch. Everyone with a
special talent, from draughtsmen to
cooks, from musicians to boiler MAX
ers will find here that their special
talent is of direct military and pay
value in the Reserves.

II is expected that those men who
now find themselves free TO take up
arms for their country will fill up the
required quota rapidly.
Those who delay will probably find
themselves out of an opportunity that
is not likely to occur twice.

quired during the period of the war
