Added Incentive
to Join Navy
Officers Naval Training in Material
School Part of Opportunities of the
Reserves

BREMERTON, Wash, April o.
An added incentive was given the re-
cruiting drive of the Naval Reserves
today when announcement was made
that the 18th Naval District has been
called upon to furnish quota of 40
men a month for the Officers Ma
terial school. Opportunity to attend
this school is to be given recruits who
have the necessary requisites. This
school is a branch of the Naval Aux
Hilary Reserve
At the present time the school is
graduating deck officers on an aver
age of from 100 to $50 a month. The
monthly draft of men from this dis
trict will be transferred to the U. S.
S. Gopher at Chicago. The men will
be kept aboard the Gopher for pre-
liminary training to last a month, af-
ter which they will be moved to
Cleveland for assignment to ships on
the great lakes. The training aboard
ship will run into two months when
the men will be returned to the Co
pher for final selection. Subsequent
ly, short cruises will be taken by the
prospective officers and they will be
picked according to individual merit.
Those who do not measure up to the
required standard will be given what
ever other rating they prove quail
fled to fill.
Qualifications necessary for en-
trance to the school require an edu-
cational training equivalent to at
least completion of a high school
course, including a good knowledge
of trigonometry and logarithms. The
age limit is 81 to 80, inclusive.
The Naval Reserves at present are
enlisting second class seamen and
radio operators. Those desiring a
chance to attend the officers school
would be required to enter the service
as second class seamen, and as such,
If their qualifications are deemed to
fit them for training as line officers,
they undoubtedly will be given an
opportunity to go to the school. Even
If recruit was not accepted for the
officers school, there would still re-
main many other ways for advance
ment. With the personnel of the navy
on a constant increase, and the scope
Of the navy's program in the war like
wise expanding, the chances for rap
Id promotion are plentiful.
The goal of the recruiting drive
which has been undertaken is 10000
additional naval reserves. This mum
bed is being sought within the linn
its OF the 18th Naval district which
embraces Washington, Oregon, Idaho
Montana and Wyoming.

Never Know Where
They Are Going
Troops in France, However, Well
Treated, Thanks to F0rethOught of
War Department

The following letter from Lieuten-
ant Stephen Townsend, brother of
Mrs. Fred Witt of this city, tells of
the trip over to France and of the
work done there for the soldiers by
the American war department:
Somewhere in France" Feb. 5.
Editor Eagle-Star 1t may seem
funny to you to see the heading:
Somewhere in France" but we
never know where we are go
ing or what we are to do from one
day to another.
We left New York January 16 and
on January 20 arrived at a port in
England where we desembarked. The
trip over was pleasant as far as quar-
ters were concerned. The food on
board ship was excellent. During
the first three days out we ran into
some very severe, cold winds and the
ship, although large one, rolled con-
siderably. l got all set for a nice
siege of seasickness and on two occas-
ions l ran to the rail to see if any
fish were in sight, but not seeing any
l decided to wait little longer be-
fore feeding them. l got past these
found my sea legs and the rest was
comparatively easy. (Here something
is deleted by censor with scissors.)
Just one thing of any great i'm
portance happened but at present it
is military secret so will have TO
pass it up.
Upon our arrival in England we
were placed upon cars and shipped
overland to a big rest camp" staying
several days while awaiting transpor-
tation to France.
While there we were quartered near
very old and ancient city of Eng
land where today are left standing
many old relics of the early Saxon
days
All the boys enjoyed visiting about
this city as it is considered by tour
lists as the wonder spot of England
We reached the camp on Wednes-
day evening (midnight) and Sunday
we received orders to prepare to leave
that day for France.
The United States war department
is getting splendidly ready over here
and when everything is set, there will
be no stopping. They are building a
complete organization and when they
have that the storm will break out
afresh: 1t has taken time, but it will
save many lives.
The order just came to prepare to
leave this afternoon at 300 and when
l reach that place, wherever 1t is, I
will be close enough to hear the noise
of the big guns. Then my work will
begin in earnest and what it has in
store for me God only knows"
l have not had an attack of lone
someness as yet because at any time
when I go to feeling that way al
ways picture myself at home and all
my friends gone to the front. That
fixes me up fine.
/ am at an officers club now and
1t is very nice. Has a dining room,
