LINDWALL HIGH-CLASS UPHOLSTERING and CABINET WORK 508 LINDEN STREET OPPOSITE DEPOT RECRUITS By James R. Paul. There is daily inquiry at the of- fice of the Evanston Naval Enlist- ment committee from prospective re- cruits from Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka and Glencoe. Since the day of registration was announced a lot of eligibles have concluded that they would rather volunteer in the 'navy than be drafted for the army. The near approach of registration day increases their number every day, and the Wilmette committee is working in co-operation with the Evanston committee to get as many recruits as possible, so it is likely that the number who go up this week will break the record. Among the Wilmette boys who have enlisted in the mavy recently are Walter and Paul Kemp, 418 Ridge avenue; Leroy Smith," 1319 Central street, and F. J. Schopen, 418 Prairie avenue. They all like the service and have written home tha tthey are well fed, well cared for in every particular and that they see an opportunity of bettering themselves while they ar 'helping their country. . Letters to Mother. They furnish free letter paper, en- velopes, ink and a place to write, and in the last two weeks issued to the boys 55,000 sheets of letter paper bearing the Y. M. C. A. stamp be- tween two flags in colors, and 25,000 envelopes with «the flag on them, showing that 25,000 letters of at least two sheets each went home to mother in a fortnight. That is a mighty good record, and if the "Y" did noth- ing else it would have shown its worth in this way, but it does a great deal more. Visitors to the station have been eager to see the gunboat Yantic, which has bee nanchored in the harbor for the last few days, because she is not onl ya veteran but is about to go on active service in the Great Lakes, reinforcing the work of the revenue cutters at all the principal ports. She was built in 1869 and used in the regular navy until she became somewhat old-fashioned, and then she was turned over to the Naval Militia and has been used by the Illi- nois sea soldiers for some years.
