The huniTreds of recruits to both the navy
nd marine corps have taken up their new
duties with a will. i:ach day llnds them
at drill. This work consists of calisthenics,
marching and the liandllng, of tlrenrms.
The sailors, of course, are given siieclal In
structions In manning a warship, clearing
'decks for action and tho hundred or more
ether Interesting points In connection with
the service.
The great drlllgrounds facing tho marine
, barracks Is the scene dally of these mancu-
, vers. Frequently the men nro inarched out
of the yard and taken on long hikes up
Broad street. This Is done to harden the
' men to marching.
The two big German raiders, tho Ivron
prlnz Wllhctm and tho llltel Krcdcrlch,
Which have been taken over by the Govern
ment, havo been moved across tho back
channel. They are being used tempoiarlly
s receiving ships.
The big gates leading Into tho navy yard
have been barred against visitors for many
months. Every person admitted other than
a. man belonging to tho service, and few
are admitted except on special missions for
the Government, Is accompanied by n guard
While Inside.
A strict censorship has been established
by the Navy Department over the move
ment of warships and other activities that
might be construed as being of valuo to this
country's enemies. In this tho newspaper
publishers aro co-operating with the Gov
ernment In suppressing such news as might
In any way bo used for military purposes
to tho detriment of the United States.

The spirit of "anything goes In wnr
tlmo" Is scored In a bulletin dealing with
efllclent government, Issued by tho llurenu
of Municipal Research today. "If anything
goes In war time," It amplifies, "much that
Is worth while keeping will go too."
Tho Bureau maintains thnt a close-up
contact with government Is brought homo
by war condition. War, It claims, tears
the ell of Indifference from men's eyes
and lets them see how dependent they
actually are on. government.
"livery Instrumentality that makes for
social and goiernmontal efficiency becomes
of Intensely more Importance In n national
crlsli," tho bulletin reads.
"It Is teported that the conduct of our
unr with Germany will be entrusted tn a
Joint committee of six Henntors nnd six Rep
resentatives. Yet theie nre still pcoplo
who Insist th.it Philadelphia s affairs aro

If you think the idea of "America First" is a
new one, please note this extract from the his
tory of John Harrison, dating back to 1793:
"Mr. Harrison received his early education in Philadel
phia, then spent two years in Europe investigating the art
and processes of manufacturing chemicaLt and in studying
under the celebrated chemist. Dr. Josepli Priestley. Mr.
Harrison became deeply impressed with the belief that
many staples were imported which could he produced to
advantage in the United States, thereby rendering the citi
zens independent of foreign producers and aiding the indus
trial development of the youthful Republic. Following this
thought in 1793 he began in Philadelphia the manufacture
ot chemicals, notably sulphuric acid, of whi
first maker in the United States."
