CHANCE FOR SUCCESS
IN SERVICE At SEA
Secretary Daniels Tells of Opportuni-
ties in Navy and Merchant Marine.
Now Open to Young Men.

Washington. Oct, 24.--The future OF
In training. at the naval stations in
this country is as bright as that Of
young men in the service in any place
where men may rise by individual
merit, according to Secretary of the
Navy Daniels
The object of these training
forces" Mr.. Daniels said, was to pro-
vide both officers and men for actual
service on the government merchant
marine and in the general service of
the navy. The navy undertook some
time ago to man and officer ships
turned over TO us by the war depart
ment and this Is being done continu-
ously AS in every other branch of
the service. there are competitive
examinations and such men as qualify
get commissions as officers, others
become members of the crews and
continue their training for sea service.
For some time there has been great
demand on the department for fitting
out the ships built ard being built for
the merchant marine. AS a general
rule, we get simply the ship without
either officers or crew, and the navy,
knowing what it would be called upon
TO do. esta blished stations and extend
cd others TO furnish a constant supply
of men and officers for the merchant
service. SO when officers are needed
and the men can pass the required
examination in navigation and the
technical business of running the COM
manding q ship. selections are made
after the proper examinations"
Navy officers point out that training
camps even for officers do not mean
that the men who enlist or who attend
the camps have any guarantee that
they will come out of the camps as
officers. It Is only those who can stand
and pass the required examinations
who become officers, and becoming
officers is a matter that depends on
individual merit.
There has been q constant stream
OF men from the Great Lakes. from
the Pelham Bay. Norfolk and other
training stations to the merchant
marine. IT is stated that there can
among the men and that they always
have known that If they were not
qualified as officers they would be ex-
pected to do duty anywhere on ship
board whether in the navy proper
or in the merchant marine.
IT is stated that thousands of the
men from the naval stations have gone
into training on battleships and other
warships, whore again they will have
an opportunity of becoming officers
upon demonstrating their ability at
examinations to be worthy of the rank.

Allied Leaders Confer

Paris, oct 2i.~-Conferences OF
transcendent importance are now be-
ing held between the allied leaders
Public opinion is apparently crystal
izing as follows:
Only complete eapitulation will he
sufficient as guarantee from the
present German authorities.
The ambiguity of the German sit
uation still is such that the armistice
proposition has not yet been submit
ted to Foch and the other allied gem
erals. 1t is likely that this fact will
form the main contents of the reply
to be sent by the entente powers to
President Wilson. The complete ac-
cord between the allies and the Amer
lean executive is emphasized every
where.
! President Wilson's note to Germany
was received here al noon. The news
paper LHeure was the first to COM
ment on IL, saying:
The rude frankness of the note ia
especially admirable The note as
saFes the guarding of the fruits
OF victory. President Wilson still con-
siders the German authorities them
selves unqualified TO make peace"
The presidents message created a
Fsensation in the cafes and on the bou-
levards, in fact In all quarters, high
and low, here. At first, fears were
expressed that the note meant weak
ening of the presidents attitude. bun
the final paragraphs quickly allayed
this anxiety and brought cheers to
the people OF Paris
The note puts II up to Marshal
Foch to formulate the armistice con-
ditions, and to the allies to proclaim
them" says La Liberte. ITO these
conditions Germany must say yes or
no.
