NAVY WANTS 10000
Men FOR RESERVE

After being closed to newcomers
since last August, the naval re-
serve school ON the University of
Washington campus is now open
for enlistments and has started a
big campaign thru which they in
tend to get 10000 men from the
northwestern district into the
school.
Men between the ages of Is and
35 are eligible and those of class
A of the draft may enlist in this
branch by getting permission
from their boards. Enlistments in
the reserves requires active SER
vice for the duration of the war
only.
The camp, which is on Lake
Union, and spreads over the old
golf links of the university, is now
being enlarged to accommodate a
greater number of men.
A new medical building, Off
GERS quarters. and a large army
are among the additions. The
armory is being built large enough
to accommodate the whole bat
talon so that the men may have
their drills indoors when the
weather is disagreeable.
Another addition to the camp
which is of much interest to the
men is training ship, the U. s.
s. Princeton, on which the jackies
will get training for their cruises.

EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
I wish to state that l was in

four weeks and while there / had
the best of care. My bed was
changed regularly, kept sanitary
and clean, and l was waited up
on Just as if l we're not able to
do 1t myself.
As for edibles, had every
thing to eat that one could wish
for. My relatives and friends
wanted to take out different
things for me to eat. l asked
them not to as l had everything
that l wanted. My nurse was
lovely, she was SO kind to ne, and
did everything that she could to
make it pleasant and comfort
able for me.
Also Mr.. Fawcett was very
kind to me and always acted the
part of a gentleman when in my
presence. never saw him when
he didn't act the part of gentle
man. The rooms were all kept
very clean and sanitary. l know
Of many others who have been in
the contagious hospital who can
say the same as 1 do, that no
fault whatever can be found with
it. 1t was always kept lovely
and there was plenty of every
thing to eat during the time l
was there, and others told me
that 1t was always kept that way.
