 A very unusual state of affairs has developed in the navy. Because of the lack of men to man the ships some of the big vessels are virtually out of commission. This is through no fault of the navy itself. It is due principal ly to the rapid developments in indus tries which have attracted men. The navy offers distinct advantages that do not go with the high wages of ordinary positions in factories. The training that the young man may receive in the naval service is of value and leads to an assured place in civil life if later on he decides not to remain ahoat. Uncle Sam will do ,5well by the young men who serve him, now-Bristol Press.
