BOYS OF q RUSH
TO ENLIST IN NAVY
Recruiting Office Besieged
by Youths Seeking to
Avoid Registration
MARINE CORPS BUsY.TOO

United States navy and marine
corps recruiting stations in this city
will remain open until midnight.
This decision was reached this aft
ernoon when 1t was observed there
was great rush on the part Of
young men subject to draft registrs-
tion tomorrow to enlist in these
branches of the service.
Youthful Philadelphians subject to
selective service registration tomorrow
showed marked preference for the navy
6day, though the marine corps and army
were popular. too.
Hundreds of young men early this
morning-before the navy recruiting
station at 1915 Arch street opened-be-
gan assembling in front Of the office At
noon line Of applicants extended half n
square away from the station. and re-
mained in that condition.
The curbstone in front of the navy
office offered a place for many to sit on
until they saw a favorable chance to
break into the line. Some decided to
wait it out on that line IL 1t took all
day. To make waiting easier, they
joined the curb crowd.
Clerks and examining physicians were
busy all day. Although hundreds applied
for admission to the regular service and
to the naval reserve, only about one
out Of four is physically fit. This
average. Commander Reid said. has been
maintained throughout the last year by
the Philadelphia station.
Nearly a hundred men reported today
for assignment to training stations.
Not Due to Submarines
German submarine activities off tho
Atlantic coast have had little effect on
the recruiting for the navy. according
to Commander Reid. The commander
sees in the current rush of naval appli-
cants only the expected hurry of many
to get into the navy before summoned
into the army.
Immediately preceding every large call
for registered men to 90 to camps dur
ing the last year, there has been a
rush of sSectives to the naval Office
with letters of release from their local
boards, said Commander Reid.
The quota allowed the local station
| for the regular service is forty men a
week. This number was reached yes
terday. Others applying for entrance
to the navy will have to join the re-
serve or wait until next week and try
to get into that quota.
Rush to Marines Also
Commander Reid said the navy Is In
need of many machinists; at least 1000
could be taken here, and more II Phila-
delphians equipped for the work would
apply.
The marines were kept busy by 2
throng Of near-selectives anxious to be
among 1.-THE first to fight"
