The naval reserve force offers ex-
ceptional advantages. The service and
pay are identical with the regular
navy, and as practically all the offic-
ers are selected from the ranks by
competitive examinations, which are
held three or four times a year, the
chances for promotion and advance
ment are unequaled, Every man in
the service is eligible to take this ex-
animation after from three to six
months active duty and shows the
proper aptitude for the work. Many OF
the men who entered the service al
the outbreak of the war have COM
missions, and have been ordered to
Annapolis for a short course Of train
ing and study in the special branches

BORAH TO GO TO RUSSIA
A WASHINGTON REPORT
PRESIDENT MAY SELECT HIM TO
HEAD COMMISSION SOON
TO BE NAMED.

For some time there has been float
ing around in the inner political cir
Giles of the state capital the report that
Senator William Z. Borah is to be
eliminated from the politics of Idaho;
that he has been offered and has un-
der serious consideration a presiden-
tial appointment for the term of the
war on one of the most important
commissions of the federal govern
ment, and that there Is strong intima-
ton from the inside that the senator's
decision on this will be favorable, SAYS
/. the Boise Statesman.
Has Political Angle.
Naturally this gives rise to wide po-
litical discussion, not only among re-
publcans, but among the democrats
as well. There is speculation as to the
effect 1t may have on the politics ~
the state, on who will take Senator
Borah's place in the republican par
ty, and what effect his retirement. may
have on the democratic lineup.
An interesting development is the
declaration from intimate friends of
Governor Alexander to the effect that
in case Of the retirement Of Senator
Borah, the governor will be an ag-
gressive democratic candidate for the
United States senate.
News From the East.
In this connection the accompany
Ing special dispatch to the Statesman
from the national capital will have
special interest for many:
WASHINGTON, d C.-The rumor
In Boise that President Wilson has
offered an appointment on an import
ant commission to Senator Borah
arises out of the Russian situation.
Senator Boreh's article on Russia
published in the New York Times last
December, and the presidents mes
sage since then, disclose that they are
In thorough accord ny to what should
be our attitude toward Russia. 1t is
also known that the president has
personally advised with Senator b.
rah on the subject.
Borah and Russia.
It is believed that if commission
Is sent to Russia there is little doubt
that Borah will be considered for the
head of the commission. 1t is also
known that the president was greatly
pleased with Borah's Baltimore and
New York speeches some weeks age
on war policies and the work of the
government in it's war program. Bo-
rah's New York speech is being trans.
lated into Spanish, to be circulated ir
Central and South America, and into
French, to be circulated abroad.
Silent for the Present.
Borah was asked in regard to q
commission, but said there was moth.
ing to say In regard ta it at this time
He stated, however that it was true
he was in harmony with the presi-
dents attitude toward the Russian sit
uation. adding that II England and
France had assumed much more
friendly attitude toward Russia after
