several weeks was discovered late
today by a gunner in a swamp not
far distant from the Danny homo.
Immedia ely after the coroner had
examined the little body he express
ed belief that death had resulted from
foul play.
Added strength was given to the
theory that the child was murdered
by reason of The fact that the spot
where the body lay was extremely
difficult of access and practically I'M
approachable by child of three
years.
George Eckhart, the gunner who
discovered the body, had been on the
outlook for little Billy's remains as
had every hunter who entered the
swamp since bands Of citizens aban-
doned beating about in it's access blc
parts.
At a point deep in the swamp and
separated from him by an almost i'm
penetrablc mocrass, Eckhardt saw
faded blue splotch. Finally he won
the grass grown hummock to which
his eyes had been attracted and found
the little body.
Eckhart bore Billy's remains
back to a safer place and then hur-
ried to notify the authorities
The entire town was stirred by
the news that little Blly's body had
been found, and many persons hast
encd to the swamp. Among the first
to arrive vas George White whose
little son, Benny, was reported to
have been the one the kidnappcrs be
licved they had captured when they
caught Billy Danny.
Mr.. White identified Billys re-
mains as did a number of others to
whom tho little blue rompercd fig
ure had been familiar sight.
Before the coroner's inquest every
means possible will be used to learn
beyond doubt whether the child was
mardered and flung into the swamp

navy NOT At ALL 4
CLOSE CORPORATION
Many Splendid Opportunities
for Profitable Advancement,
Local Recruiting Officer
Points Out.

A recent study Of the roster of Off
GERS of the United States navy shows
that out of 5,697 officers, on the active
list of the regular navy holding perma :
nent or temporary positions, there are
Luis who served in the navy as en-
listed men. This number includes only
those who took examinations from the
ranks for commission, and does not
take in a great number of Annapolis
graduates who entered the naval
academy by obtaining one of the one
hundred appointments to that lnstitu-
ton offered yearly to enlisted men,
says Chief jackson, the local naval
recruiting officer.
The above facts that the navy Is not
at all the CLOSE corporation that many
believe it to be, but thatit is service
which holds forth opportunity as an
incentive to the efforts its members.
The requirements for commissions are
necessarily high, but not so high to
exclude the 17lS officers who have come
up from the ranks.
The list of ex-enlisted men in the
various grades is as follows: Cap
tains, L. commanders, ~; lieutenant
commanders, Z; lieutenants, $40; lieu
tenants Gg), 479; ensgns, 34s.
The reason for the small number in
the higher grades is as follows: The
was opened to enlisted men in 1899, and
it takes about 20 years TO work up
from ensign to captain.
Approximately AZ per cent of these
officers arrived via the seaman branch,
having as boatswains mates, quarter
masters, ETC.: "a per cent at one time
were enlisted as engineers or electri-
clans, and 20 per cent were gunners
mates.
In additions to the above there are
at present in the navy 2.04S warrant
officers, the rank just below commits
stoned officers. Every one of these
a,04S officers is an eX-enlisted man.
In brief, the navy in so far as Its
need for technically trained officers
will allow. holds the doors to advance
ment open to every young man enlistI
ing as apprentice seaman. What the
navy has to offer to the thoughtful re-
cruit is opportunity.
