CIRCUS FAN ROOSEVELT
 Franklin Roovelt not only keeps hundreds of details of war strategy in his head these days, but also keeps up to date on a hundred and one other facts about tl.c ,.e of the country which the average citizen does not usually know.
 Discussing circus problems with John and Henry North, owners of Ringing Brothers, Roosevelt asked how they were affected by wartime railroad transportation. Then. before they could answer, he added:
 "Of course, you have your own equipment and all you need to do is hire an engine"
 In other words, the chief rail- road problem today is cars; and if you have your own cars 1t is not difficult to get an engine to haul them.
 Roosevelt also congratulated the North brothers on doing such Q swell job in spite of the war. DRAFTEE SAILORS
 Navy bigwigs have decided that voluntary enlistments are not suf- ficient to meet the Nays rapidly growing manpower needs; so by September at the latest, 6electiye Service will be tapped for new sail- Ors.
 G0bs will be drawn from the draft lists just as soldiers are now.
 The Nayy's Danpower is becom- ing serious. On his recent trip to the West Coast, Secretary Knox said the Navy soon would need I.- 100000 men, But even with a three-oeean war on it's hands, the Nayy's statutory strength sill is only 500000 men.
