NAVAL RECRUITING
STATIONS SWAMPED
SINCE U-BOAT RAID

NEW YORK, June 2O.-The U-boat
commanders who made the raid off
the Jersey coast should have seen the
thousands OF determined young men
who since have stormed the naval re-
serve recruitingg stations. They
would have realized, as did Truman
H. Newberry, lieutenant commander,
and his officers. that the loss OF few
coastwise merchant ships is more
than cOunteracted by the increased de-
sire Of American manhood to get at
the Hun where he lives"
Mr.. Newberry. aide to Admiral Ush-
er and commander Of the Third naval
district, and c. Marsden, lieutenant
commander in charge of recruiting,
put in his busiest day since the decla-
ration OF war. There were more ap-
plicants for naval service than could
be handled at the recruiting head
quarters, 81 Chambers street.
About 5000 men applied in one day
at the recruiting headquarters. When
the offices were opened in the morn
ing there were hundreds OF men in
line waiting. The rush increased un-
til soon before noon II could not be
handled. At that hour a thousand OF
them had been handled-3OO examined
by physicians, 300 sent to training
stations, and the rest sent to other re-
cruiting offices where the rush was
not SO heavy. The volume Of recruit
ing business was equally great in the
evening hours.
Throughout the day the recruits
formed a line down the winding stair
way to the street below. Several hun
dred were packed into the large room
where the applications were being
made out by scores Of clerks. The
space became so cOngested that the
basement was utilized to house the
applicants.
At the navy recruiting station, "a
East Twenty-third street, there was
similar rush. The file extended from
the third floor Of the building, where
the offices are located, to the street
below. Lieut.. Commander W. T. Conn,
in charge OF the station. said $50 men
had been sworn in Monday evening,
the largest number for any day since
war was declared The large number
Of applicants was attributed to The
reports in evening newspapers Non
day Of the submarine raid.
Major c. BrOoman White, COM
handing the British and Canadian re-
cruitinR mission, announced yesterday
that a branch station had been opened
at 4S4 Claremont Parkway. the Bronx.
to recruit men for service with the,
Jewish battalion OF the British armies
operating in Palestine.

Sailors From Iceland
Wilt When Ship Goes
To Cuba to Load Ore

NEW YORK, June 20.-"From
Greenland's icy mountains" could
have been sung here in long
meter when a little steamer came
into port from AntillG, Cuba
laden with manganese ore. While
the vessel was not from Greenland
she had a crew aboard the mem
bers OF which came from an at
mosphere closely resembling
Greenland-in other words, from
IceIand-and the crew longed
with a longing most pathetic,
considering all the circumstances
for some approximation Of the Icy
blasts Of their native home.
The scarcity Of labor in the
United States has made 1t neces-
sary for some queer mAkeshifts,
especially in the line Of shipping
but when. these Icelanders were
sent to Cuba to load manganese
on vessels somebody made . bad
guess, according TO the master
of the little ship, for the change
OF climate almost decimated his
strange crew. They were not
p used to the heat OF a tropical
isle, and they wilted like a starch
ed collar in 4 Turkish bath. They
managed to get through, how
ever, and as they neared Balti-
more the sea air. revived them to
the point where they were able
to put on some clothing.
Last night. in port here, they
had their first comfortable nights
sleep since entering the confines
Of the tOrrid zone on their trip
south -.-ss...
