Navy Ready for Recruits.

The banner has received for publ
cation the following form letter. conf
ing from the Naval Recruiting Station
ut New Orleans:
:'The announcement was made to-
day by Commander l.. J. Clark, Naval
Recruiting Officer here, that, begin
ming September 10Th, as soon as Il man
enlists in the Navy he will be sent to
enc of the naval training stations or
receiving ships.
Following the declaration of war,
enlistments in the Navy were so great
that the training stations and receiv-
ing ships were soon OvercrOwded and
1t was necessary for the department to
return recruits to their homes until
they could be accommodated at the
stations All of the stations have since
been enlarged. new training camps
have been established, and most of the
men who have been in training have
been sent to sea, thus making it posi-
BILE now to send recruits direct to the
stations as soon as they enlist.
Commander Clark stated that the
Navy is still in need of recruits and
was enlisting apprentice seimen, and
that there We're excellent opportunities
ut the present time for men with skill
cd trades. such as nMchinistS, firemen
bakers, cooks and walters.
