Navy Needs Men For
American Service

Young men Of Maryland who want
to serve their country should seri-
ously consider the Navy's need for
men in the Aviation Branch.
The Navy recruiting authorities at
Baltimore have been asked by the
Bureau of Navigation to enlist young
men as quartermasters for the Nays
Aviation Branch, these men to even
tually become pilots after they have
had the necessary training.
In addition to quartermasters,
there is a demand for machinists and
carpenters to work at their trades in
the Aviation Branch of the naval
service, these mechanics being given
special training in aviation tech
nique.
The recruiting authorities are un-
able to understand why there has
not been a quicker response this this
need in time Of war.
The pay of quartermasters, ma
chinists and carpenters in the Avia-
ton Branch is attractive and there
are many opportunities for advance
ment.
There is still a need for appren-
| tice- seamen and young men are
now allowed to enlist in the Navy for
! the duration of the war instead of
| the regular four year term.
| Full particulars of Navy enlist
ments can be obtained from the
nearest postmaster; directly from
the Navy Recruiting Station, Calvert
and Lexington streets, Baltimore, or
from the Navy Recruiting sub-sta-
lions at Cumberland and Hagers-
town.

War Savings Plan

President Wilson has said, mo
individual in this great country can
now expect ever to be excused or
forgiven for ignoring the national
obligation to be careful and provi-
dent of expenditure. Now be-
comes a public duty and emblem of
patriotism and honor. 1 suppose
not many fortunate by-products can
come out of the war, but if this
country can learn something about
saving it will be worth the cost of
the war. 1 mean the little cost of it
in money and resources"
The above is the statement from
our good President, Woodrow Will
son, and it is worth your while to
consider same carefully. 1t is GER
tainly your duty to practice self-de-
NAL and save, and lend your money
to our great American nation in this
time of need, by purchasing War
Savings Stamps. Teach your chill
dren thrift and self-denia1, help and
assist them to buy War Thrift
Stamps. You must help in this
great war Do it now.

County Director.
