While a number of small stills
capable of making several quarts

Washington, revenue officers in
other cities have rounded up Illicit
distilleries capable of turning out
barrels of liquor. In one large city
agents found a still that was max

situation here Commissioner Kra-
mer said:

for me to make comparisons in the

The Districts 10000 Naval Re-
serYists have been called to voiun-
tarily join the colors.
Immediate response, which means
an enlistment of not less than
twelve and not more than eighteen
months, is sought by the Navy De-
partment. that the cruiser St. Louis
and a flotilla of six destroyers, now
in Philadelphia, will be fully
manned for an unknown Mediter-
ranean cruise. starting November 3.
Every reservist in the city, except
yeomen %, received a letter yes
terday from the commandant of the
Washington Navy Yard in which
was enclosed a letter from Rear
Admiral Thomas Washington. chief
of the Bureau of Navigation, ap-
pealing to reservists to enlist.
Service Voluntary.
Not only are those already in the
reserve asked to go. but the COM
mandant is authorized to make new
enrollments Tor this purpose. The
service is purely voluntary. and no
orders have yet been issued direct
ing reservists to report for duty.
Those who accept this service will
be at sea at least a year, and not
more than eighteen months.
At the Navy Department it was
said that the appeal for volunteers
does not presage a general call or
dering the men to duty. The Navy
Department could not say whether
the movement of these destroyers
to the Mediterranean ports marked
the beginning of a general move
