Expert Watchmakers Needed
at Once in the Naval
Service

Lieutenant Gardiner.
Sixty men came in to-day" he said.
But we are keeping up our unusually
high standards and could pass only
eight. l want to call attention to the
$50 places in our quota of 500. That
means 250 young fighting Americans
can get places in the ranks of the sol
ciers of the sea- if they hurry up. And
they must be mighty good men. We
can use only the best"
One of the eight men who enlisted in
the marines yesterday was Horace Nc
Pherson, who will not be eighteen until

for enlistment ten times. Each time he
was turned down on account of his age

AS Mcpherson has no relatives to object
to a waving of the age limit, and be-
cause of his eagerness to get into the
service, General Barnett ordered that
age regulations be held in allegiance in
his case. Yesterday Mcpherson turned
up at marine headquarters. He leaves
for Port Royal, S. c., in g few days

Defence Society Collects
500 to Pay for Sight

owners of Private Cars Urged
to Give Them for To-
morrow's Run

IN addition to touring cars. three
,buses of the sightseeing type will
make the second of the American Auto
mobilc Associations free runs to Camp
linton tomorrow. This announcement
was made by James A. Hemstreet. d.
rector % the New York-to- Yaphank
service, last night.
"The American Defence Society,""
said Mr.. Hemstreet, "has notified me
that 500 has been subscribed to the
fund it is raising for the purpose of
hiring automobiles to carry The rela-
lives of soldiers to Camp Upton.
after considering the best way to
soend this money, we have decided it
advisable to hire motor buses of the
sightseeing type for Sundays run.
think we can get three OF them for
the 500. These buses hold an aver
age of thirty persons. Thus we can
carry at least ninety extra persons to
Yaphank this Sunday. That will be q
tremendous help, for large number
Of applications have been received dur
in, the last week, and the number of
motor car owners who have donated
their cars has not kept pace with the
pleas for reservations.
New Fund Will Help
"The American Defence Society's
fund is going to give US tremendous
lit in this work. l am hopeful that
contributions will continue to be sent
20 W. Guggenheim in large numbers.
The more money we get the more
buses we can hire. and, of course, the
more persons will be able to make the
trip to Yaphank. We don't want to
cave to disappoint a single one Of
them"
Las. Sunday the motorists who con-
tributed their cars for the free service
picked up persons who made the run
a. their respective homes. Mr.. Hem
street announced this arrangement has
been changed. Beginning tomorrow,
the automobiles will receive passengers
;r The Bronx, at 149th Street and Ber-
zen Avenue; another in Columbus
Circle and the third 1t the quarters of
the Long Island Auto Club. Bedford
Avenue and Halsey Street, Brooklyn.
Old Plan Unsatisfactory
"The task of running all over the city
to pick UP passengers entailed ter
rible loss of time" explained Mr.. Hem
street. 4" Not only were we late in get
ting started last week, but we found
the plan generally unsatisfactory. We
think this loading station idea will
give better results and work out to
the satisfaction Of every one con-
carned. We plan to start at $3.50 Sun
day morning. Those who are to make
the trip Will receive notification of the
station at which they are to report, to-
gether with full instructions. We urge
them to be on time. We want to get an
early start.
There are number Of persons who
will not be able to enjoy tomorrow s
run unless more motor cars are avail
able. l want at least twenty more cars
Il twenty owners call me Saturday and
offer their machines l will be able to
take care Of every person who wants to
go with US Sunday"
