Lieutenant-Commander John H. Black burn, U. S. N., In charge, has aban doned the form letters for recruiting furnished by the department and is using personal letters written either by himself or his assistants. He is getting gratifying results and what Is more to the point the enlistments re ceived here are X per cent desirable. The United State navy needs 20.000 men at once to put her fighting craft in active commission. If war were to be declared at this time many valuable vessels would not be serviceable be cause insufficiently manned. Some 74.800 men comprise tho nor mal strength of the navy and the presi dent has the authority of congress to Increase this number to 17,000. Women Are Signed TTp. . With average age of the $0,000 men in the navy today at about 22 years, most of the applicants nar enlisting as seaman apprentices are In tho neighborhood of It years. Recruits are sent to Goat island In San Fran cisco bay for preliminary training. The term yf enlistment Is four years with the enlistment period for those entering under IS expiring at the time they attain their majority. The navy Is also anxious to get re cruits skilled in technical branches and offers the Inducement of training and schooling to those who can pass the required examinations. No Instructions have been received by Commander Blackburn relative to the enlistment of women, but It is un derstood that thay are being signed up for shore duty only in the navy re serve," largely for clerical poets.

Cap tain H J Huebscher, U. S. A- has been in charge since February and the total number of enlistments Indicates that more than the required number will be obtained In this district for the year.

HON Portland recruiting offices of the three federal services the army, navy and marine corps report a constant stream of applications for enlistment, although recruiting officers in charge are unable to tell accurately whether the press accounts of possible conflict between. Germany and tho United States are stimulating recruiting at this time. Through advertisements, booklets and personal contact the work of arousing Interest In the services has been going on many months and in many instances the international situa tion Is the means rather of determin ing a half-formed Intention to enlist rather than Inducing a spontaneous enlistment. For the week ending Thursday night the United States navy recruiting sta tion in Portland secured $8 enlist ments. Saturday ends the week's work for the army and the marine corps in maintaining an average of about 2 accepted applicants a week.
