The largely increasing uiminca of
Ine United Slates navy recruiting ela
tion at Portland, has required an ad
dition of 11b office force, and that be
may be transferred to the Portland
'station. Chief Quurterinuslcr .1. E.
NorBtrom has received orders to clo6o
the Medford station and report to
Portland about January 10.
Voting men, who are contemplating
jentering the navy should, at once,
apply to or open correspondence with
) recruiting officer to tho end that tliolr
! applications may bo acted on while
the Mcdford station Is open, as apnli
! cants, who, thereafter ko to Portland
will be subjected to tho expenses of
the return trip In case tholr applica
tions are not accepted,
t That it is tho determined policy of
; tho navy department to Increase the
attractiveness of the service Is fully
shown in the recent recommendation
of Secretary Daniels that tho pay of
enlisted men be raised $3 a month.
Recruiting officers will give prompt
attontion to all applications, made In
person or by letters, and expedite ac-
j tlon thereon. j
Tho recruiting officer states, that
while tho general business of the sta
tion has been satisfactory, It Is a fact
that a lack of patriotic sentiment
has been shown on the part of the
young men of Medford and A.ihlnnd,
nearly all of the applications having
been received from residents of other
places.
