Men with the lovo of tho sea In their
blood, men who want to get Into tlio light
first If war comes and strike a blow for
their country, are being welcomed Into tho
Naval Militia of Pennsylvania.
There Is a big campaign on for 1000 'new
mombcrs from this State. As only 600
men from this city can be given places In
the ranks of tho Jacklcs, It Is a case of first
come first served.
If tho I'nltcd States.comoB to grips with
Germany on tho seas the naval militia
will bo called out first, before the rigular
nrmy, hefoie the National duard, before
the volunteers. The navy Is short of men
and the Nnvy Department' looks to tho
10,000 naval militiamen' In tho country to
help fill the gapa on board tho big ships, tho
swift destroyers and the submarine chasers.
This Is what gives tho service Its chnrm.
This Is what is bringing tho militiamen
every Friday night to the armory of tho
l'irst Ileglmcnt, N Q. P., at Broad nnd CaL
low hill ptreets, where they drill and study
under efilclent ottleers. Tho armory has
been made the hcadquartero for the cam
paign for tho DOO men to bo enlisted from
Philadelphia, There nre 200 m,en on the
rolls In Philadelphia now nnd many more
arc expected to be added at tho armory to
night '
1 very day. In fact, two sturdy naval mil
itiamen, In their smart navy uniforms, are
on dut In front of the armory, ready to ex
plain to prospective recruits the ndvantagf
of enlistment In tho tnllttla. nvery night a
nival surgeon Is on hand to give the re
quited physical examination to applicant".
An one Is eligible If he Ib a citizen of
the United States who la between the ages
of eighteen nnd forty-five years. He must
bo sound ph sit ally No expenso Ih In
curred ; the uniforms and equipment are
supplied free.
Not only will the men In tho naval militia
bo tho first calld In event of war, but they
will bo comfot table nt all times. Their
boats are steam heated, they have dry
bunks good food nnd lots of It when meal
tlmo comes around, nnd tho naval militia
men dcqlaro they would not trade positions,
with a soldier upon any consideration.
Lieutenant Harry C. Mcllvalne Is In com
mand of the campaign to enlist the men In
Philadelphia, nnd he will bo at tho nrmory
tonight to answer nil questions and offer
expert advice when requested.
