men, second and third class, and these
men will be sent to sea very soon to
man the new ships that are being
built. So any men that are looking
for quick action can get it in this

that hear of the firemen think of a
hard job. When they get in they
find it great deal different as most
of the new ships are oilburners. And
a great many of these men will get
a chance to get on the new ship that
are being built as submarine chasers.
The following ratings are open and
the men are enlisted and sent home to
await call as they are needed at the
training station: Apprentice sea-
men and experienced telegraphers who
can be enlisted as landsmen for cleo
tricians radio.
Men that have experience as car
mates aviation, and are sent to
Charleston, South Carolina. Men
with a good education can be enlist
ed as landsmen for quartermasters
aviation and be sent to navy operating
base at Hampton Roads, Va.
Men that are registered have to get
a release from their local boards and
men under twenty-one have to get the
consent Of their parents on forms fur

THE STENOGRAPHER

My boss is one of those tired business
men
Who gets down mornings, shortly af-
ter nine
And reads the daily papers, line by
line,
Then goes away little after ten
To see a man; drops in sometimes,
again,
Just after lunch, and if the day be
fine,
And season fit, leaves me some notes
to sign
While he consumes a baseball
regiment.
But when the hour draws near that
I should quit,
He rushes in, intent on getting out
Two dozen urgent letters without fail;
He tears around as if he had fit,
He dictates with bark, a growl, a
shout,
Then says, "Be sure these make this
evenings mail"

on various notifications Of tie COM

Calls idea "Absurd."

This is. Of course. absurd" he said.
History shows that Japan has never
"rgaSed voluntarily in wars. 1t is
admitted that our war against Rus
Sia was purely defensive. We have
no ambition nor intention of agrees
sion or conquest. The present war
shows that our agreements were de-
fectivc and this will be remedied, but
Japan has no idea except to be in a
proper condition for defense.
Our victories in the Chinese and
Russian wars naturally led the
Japanese people to admire their army.
and this in turn, may have led to
misconception abroad of the impor-
-ance which Japan gives to arma-
mentS.
THE military influence is not so
dominant in Japan as outsiders may
believe. Our constitution is still
young, and some of our people may
favor a similar form of government
to the German system. but the pres
ent ministry is united in the deter
nina ton to, secure the constitutional
development of Japan along the pop
ular- lines which the war has SO in-
disputably demonstrated as the worlds
tendency and the desire of the
peoples of the world.
