April 30.
All river resorts. Including Vtlver View.

TH13 good old daja bos ran
away from borne to go to sea.
Now, It seems, they have to be coaxed
to go. and this In hpltc ot the fact
thai opportunities In the merchant
marine service were neer brighter than
they aro today.'
So declared William G. nice, chief en
rolling officer of the United States
shipping board recruiting service, at his
headquarters In the Bourse today.
Mr. ltlce was bemoaning the fact that
the training ship Calvin Austin has been
lying at her dock at the foot of Vine
street for a week and up to the present
has recruited a little more than one
filth of Its full complement. The young
men of Philadelphia, eald Mr. nice, ap
parently nre Ignorant of the many at
ti active features of this particular
branch of the service, and to remedy
this condition, he declared, the Govern
ment has begun an educational adcrtls
Ing campaign.
One of the most attractive feature,
said Mr. nice. Is tho fact that enroll
ment for training on the Cahln Aus
tin carries with It absolute exemption
from tho provisions of the draft. Be
sides this, the salaries paid are tho
highest in the history of tho American
"merchant marine, while generous bonuses
nre offered for voyages Into tho war
zone,
Whllo tho routine llfo aboard ship Is
more or less exacting, there Is also time
for recreation and shore leave, lie
pointed out. Tho 200 or moro appren
tices on board, who wero recruited In
New England, ho said, aro enthusiastic
over their experiences. Many ot them
expect to graduate while hero, and will
bo sent directly into active bca service.
"But, above al! " ild Mr. nice, "the
opportunity to help tho nation in this
great crisis, when ships are needed above
everything else, and men to man them,
should appeal to tho patriotic spirit of
every young man, for to be a part, even
a small part, of this great undertaking
Is Indeed an honor,
Tho service is open to any joung man
between twenty-one and thirty years of
age who weighs more than 125 pounds,
and ran prove his citizenship. The
berths open aro those of cooks, stewards,
seamen, firemen and coal passers.
Orders have been received by Captain
Kemp, of the Austin, to keep the ship
here for at least one more week, as, with
the passing of tho holidays, recruiting
Is expected to ho brisk.
In anticipation of a rush, special
agents havo been assigned to assist Mr
nice at his headquarters, on tho main
