HE RECRUITED THE NAVY

Leigh Carlyle Palmer. chief of the
bureau Of navigation, is one of the
younger officers of the navy who heads
an important bureau of the depart
ment with the rank Of rear admiral,
and on account Of his enviable record
for efficiency, on file in the depart
ment, he was brought in from sea duty
to assume this important work when
war with Germany became imminent.
The remarkable record made in
recruiting the United States navy up
to its present war strength has been
accomplished under the direction Of
Rear Admiral Palmer, who has charge
Of the personnel Of the service. Some
idea Of the growth may be gained
from the facts. On April 6 Of last
year the navy had complement Of
$4,000 men and not more than 10000
men in the Naval Reserve. Today the
regular establishment numbers 1885,
600 men, while the Naval Reserve
force has attained the remarkable

Against Parreili
Richmond wrestling enthusiasts

stand for clean sport and nothing can
be substituted. This was demonstrated
Last night at the Central Athletic
club following the match between
Jack Collins, the Greek Demon. and
Gorilla Parreili, the Italian Bone
Breaker. The latter named was billed
the bone breaker, but as the match
turned out Jack Collins was the bone
breaker and Parefli the one with the
broken bones.
Collins won the last two falls of the
match by use of the toe hold in seven
teen minutes. each. after Parrelli had
gained the first fall in fifty six minutes
by means of double crotch
hold. This fall was not secured until
both men had offered the crowd one
of the fastest wrestling seen here for
some time.
1t was the toe hold which caused
the comment of the fans and promo
tiers alike and George Herbert an
nounced that in future matches put
on at the club would not carry either
the strangle or toe hold.
Colonel Percy Halves. one of the
oldest members of the club, and who
has followed atheletics for the past
decade, stated that he was an advo-
cate of clean sport and a member OF
the club demanded that the strangle
and toehoid be barred in future
matches
Collins. who has wrestIed and been
defeated twice by Zeke Smith, local
mat artist, naturally was the favorits
with the crowd and used to advan.
tage the toehold, which he was will
ing &c bar before the mat but which
fhss opponent insisted upon. Collins
gave i much better exhibition than

and took the taunts OF his opponents

TO the victor belongs the spells. but
the exhibition given by Parreili was
nothing short of phenomenal Time
and tine again he edged himself
out OF tight holes when it seemed that
Collins had him down. He displayed
wonderful strength in the match and
was thrown both times only after
having been subjected to the most

PEOPLE AS
RED CROSS AGENTS

Beware of persons pretending to
represent the Red Cross. who collect
money for giving alleged information
regarding the location and health OF
soldiers. Warning to this effect was
issued last night by H q. Boykin, di-
rector OF the Richmond Red Cross
chapter.
"A campaign has been started to
protect relatives OF soldiers and sea-
men who have been imposed upon"
said Director Boykin, "as result OF
war time activities of the 'meanest
thief element that have come TO the
attention OF the Atlantic division. Not
withstandng the constantly repeated
statement that Red Cross services to
the families of soldiers are without
cost, worried or bereaved relatives of
men have been preyed upon
by supposed Red Cross representa-
tives. In order to circumvent the pos,
sibility Of this sort of swindltng gain
ing foothold here VIC are anxious to
again impress this fact on the Rich
mond public.
An excellent illustration and a good
warning is furnished in one case re-
ported in the Atlantic division. A
woman wearing a red cross on her
arm called on a family that was
grieving over an announcements telling
of the death Of n son in France. The
woman brought the news that the
soldier was at camp In this coun~
try, alive and recovering from i'll
ness, The family was told he could
be brought home at once IL money
was provided for the fee or an army
surgeon. who would accompany him.
and for his sportation by autorno-
bile. The fraud was accomplished
without difficulty or delay, In the face
OF the war department announcements
received by the family, telling of tho
death of the soldier overseas"
