Evers of the U. S. N. R., a resident of Wilmette, before the luncheon of the Evanston Commercial association forum last week. He also disclosed the fact that the government was even now seeking to place in Evanston a naval reserve armory where the Reservists of this: district might train. 300 Navy Men Here "There are in the Evanston district today some 300 ex-service men of the navy still in the reserve," he said. "They have no place to train except in Chicago. The government is even now looking over the district to as- certain the possibility and advisability of establishing an armory and train- ing quarters for these men here." Captain Evers gave a resume of the experiences of the navy during the war. Before 1916 the reserve force permitted but not financed by the federal government, numbered but 13,000. Of this number there were in Illinois some 600 men and 40 of- ficers. "Within 48 hours after the declara- tion of war," he said, "these Illinois men were at the base ports ready to board ship. During the war, the same men served on over 1,000 ships at one time or another. Swelled to 350,000 "During the war the naval reserve force was swelled to 350,000. Captain Evers pointed out the enormous waste in human effort, money and material, this expediency enlistment caused. The men were untrained, un- seasoned and awkward. "It was because of this fact that we were compelled to have as large a reserve as we did. Had these men had a little previous training, the navy would have been able to ope- rate just as efficiently on half this number and the government would have been saved a great--deal of ex- pense. a 'permanent naval reserve force of 100,000. We are also asking congress for an an- nual appropriation of $500,000 to de- fray the necessary expense of rent- | WINNETKA PARK DISTRICT IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS General Number 354646 NOTICE Notice is hereby given to all persons interested that the Winnetka Park District having ordered that steps be taken to ascertain the just compensa- tion to be made to the respective own- ers of private property to be taken or damaged for use as a public park by condemning therefor the following de- seribed land, to wit: Lots Five (5), Six (6), Seven (7), and Eight (8), in Block Four (4) in Jared Gage's Subdi- vision of part of the East half of the Northwest quarter, also part of the West half of the Northwest quarter of Fractional Section Seventeen (17); also part of the East half of the South- west quarter of Fractional Section Eight (8), all in Township Forty-two (42) North, Range Thirteen (13) East of the Third Principal Meridian, as shown upon the plat of said Subdivi- sion recorded in the office of the Recor- der of Cook County, Illinois, on the eighth day of February, A.

Two Values to Be Gained Captain Evers stated that there were two values to be gained by the reserve. First it provided the gov- ernment with an adequate, trained and ready force to meet emergencies. Second it had an inestimable value in teaching the youth obedience, re- spect of authority, cleanliness and the many other lessons military train- ing and ship life offered. "We want the support of the busi- ness men of this and all other com- munities to the movement," he said. "It's a business proposition that should appeal to the common sense in more ways than one." Captain Evers has charge of the ninth, tenth and eleventh naval re- serve districts. His home is at 1020 Sheridan road.
