Il. r. Eckhardt, In charge OF the
navy recruiting station here, has
been notified to enroll men In the
naval reserve force to the maximum,
Five thousand men can be accommo-
dated In this district at once. he was
informed.
The local recruiting station has
been limited In It's work for several
weeks, being permitted to enlist
only 25 men per week. This re-
strictlon. which held down recruit
ing at all stations to total OF one

gress relieved the situation by leg
islation. This evidently has been
accomplished.
Oregon has furnished approxl-
mately 5000 men to the regular
and reserve corps OF the navy and
the raising OF 5000 more will give
men OF draft age new opportun-
ity for serving their country. The
age limits for this navy recruiting
are from is to S5. Men Of draft age
must have permission from their To-
cal boards.
Four mess attendants are needed
at once, the recruiting officers an

to the naval training camp on Puget
sound. Forty men per month from
this training camp will be sent to
the navy's new officers training
