Recruiting offices have been constantly beseiged by applicants for berths on the fight- ing ships of Uncle Sam, men, young and old, clamoring for an opportunity .to join the sea forces. War Prospect Brings Recruits. Approximately 25,000 men were needed for the Navy when diplomatic relations with Germany were broken would be less difficulty in filling up the navy than exists under normal conditions. The people of Chicago and the middle west should visit the Great Lakes Naval Training Station and feel the efficient and healthful atmosphere of the place, and see the splendid edu- cation for useful and successful lives which the boys are receiving there. They will soon be converted to the fact that there is no more potent ele- ment for good in the country than the United States Navy. Easy of Access. The Great Lakes Naval Training Station, located at Lake Bluff, Ill. is within easy access of Chicago, on two Inspection at Naval Training Station. off and judging from the number en- listed daily, in Chicago alone, no diffi- culty will be experienced in securing the entire requirement in the state of Illinois. This rush to enlist, however, is brought about because of the pros- pect for active service. Under normal conditions enlistment in the Navy has not been looked upon as desirable due, mainly, to a misunderstanding which exists relative to rates of pay and the chances that obtain for advancement. Prepares for Civil Life. Taking everything into considera- tion, the United States Navy offers to the young man more in the way of salary than any occupation in civil | life and greater opportunity for ad- vancement than can be had elsewhere. Also, a young man entering the Navy is given an education that will, should he go back into civil life at the end of his period of enlistment, enable him to compete with the most skillful workmen and draw the highest salary paid for expert labor. Vocational Training Given. A recruit enlisting at the age of 17 or over receives at the training sta- tion $17.60 a month, his board, lodging, clothing, a complete outfit, medical service, and transportation to the sta- tion. He is also provided with free recreation facilities. Few untrained young men from 17 to 20 in civil life have a balance of $17.60 a month after paying all living and other expenses. In addition, he is instructed in aca- demic subjects, seamanship, mechanics, wireless telegraphy, blacksmithing, aeronautics, stenography, nursing, and 'a score of other things too numerous to mention. Opportunity for Advancement. The apprentice seaman soon is raised to $20.90 a month with living, then as seaman to $26.40 a month. A seaman is eligible for advancement to third class petty officer at $33 a month, thence to second class petty officer at $38.50 a month, first class petty officer at $44 a month, and chief petty officer at $77 a. month. Nor does advance- ment stop there, for a chief petty offi- cer may attain to the grade of war- rant officer, which carries with it a salary of from $1,500 to $2,400 a year. In addition to these chances for ad- vancement, twenty-five enlisted men are now annually appointed to the Naval Academy, and after completing the course there, their chances for advancement are unlimited, as the Navy is rapidly growing. Insures Life Income. The work in the Navy goes on 265 days in the year. The plant does not close down. There is no lack of em- ployment through strikes, nor stopping of pay because of sickness. At the end of thirty years' service a man may retire on what is practically three- fourths pay. In other words, at the age of 48 one may leave the Navy as- sured of a good income through life, and young enough to take up active work for which the Navy training has so well fitted him. People Should Visit Station. With the inducement of practical training, steady employment, chance for promotion, provision for old age, and the healthy life, with opportunities for travel, fully understood, ' lines of railroad. It is marked by a big upended whitehead torpedo be- tween Lake Bluff and North Chicago and the grounds are the most ex- tensive of any naval training station in the country, perhaps in the world. Jackies Act as Guides. Everything connected with seaman- ship from sewing to gunnery is taught in the huge buildings. The jackies moving in and out of the great bar- racks are the neatest boys you ever saw. They have keen intelligent faces. They'll initiate you into the mysteries of wireless telegraphy, box the com- pass for you and if you are interested they'll show you how they keep their clothes always pressed by folding them up in a certain way when they pack them in their clothes bag. They'll show you the numerous silver cups and other trophies they have won in seamanship and athletic events and tell you all about the different quick firing guns and take you down to the lake where they have houses and a great many boats, in size from a dingy up to a whale boat, which is nearly as big as a schooner. Quarters Overcrowded. The station, openea a little over five years ago, cost $4,000,000 and is designed for a complement of 1,500 apprentice seamen with officers and instructors.

More buildings are needed to ac- commodate the recruits who are pour- ing into the station and Commander W. A. Moffett has evolved a plan to make the Great Lakes station the largest in the world. It is probable a plea will be made to congress for the training station to a point where all recruits from the west and middle west, in the policy for a greater Navy, can find ample accommodations for living and training. Station Must Be Enlarged. "We have sent nearly 600 men east to ship," said Captain Moffett recent- ly, "but new men are coming in at the rate of forty a day.
