great and worthy achievements, OF
duty we'll done, has been due to the
high standard set for officers and
men in the beginning and main
tanned. This standard was never
higher than today and any young
American who contemplateS enter
ing the navy may feel sure that he
will enter a service in which he may
feel a justihable pride and don a
uniform that is a badge of honor.
The navy has organized branch
OF service known as the Naval Re
serve. This is the same as the reg
ular service, except that its men,
bers are called only in time of war
or national emergency. The pay is
the same and the opportunities are
much better, in some respects, than
in the regular service, A less Strin-
gent examination is required for the
reserve than for the regular service,
which makes it possible for men who
have been held back because OF
some slight defect to enter military
service.
The men who enlisted today for
the Naval Reserve are: James
Hayes, Ardmore; Fred r. Shaddon,
Newport; George T. Longley, Mea-
dow, Texas; w. A. Watkins and
Ezra Dyer, Ardmore; Albert Roy
Garnett, Robert Julian Miller, Bon

The newspaper then discusses the
theory that the Germans might be
inviting naval action near the mine
fields and coast defenSes, and says
that all such suggestions have no
foundation among those who have
knowledge of naval conditions.
The enemy, it says has gained lit
lie new strength for use in the
North Sea by the Baltic situation,
while British superiority has been
increased since the battle OF Jutland
by the cooperation OF the American
forces; and the entire naval strength
OF the United States would be avail
