The Unitcd States Navy requires Electricians, Machinists, Firemen, Coal Passers, Carpenters, Shipfitters, Copper- smiths, Cooks, Stewards, Waiters, Musicians, Bookkeepers, Stenographers, men for the Hospital Corps—in fact, men of nearly every trade in the country are required to operate ¥én the vessels of the U. S. Navy. 5 About one-half of a Man-o'-War’s crew are men workine at a mechanical trade ; the other half being in the seaman branch. Men working at the different trudes in the Navy have the same chance of promotion as the seaman branceh—both in rank and pay. Moreover, 1f you have a trade your pay at the start is higher and promotion more rapid. For example :—Any machinist who has learned his trade and is familiar wilh engines and boilers can enlist as a Machinist's Mate, second class, at $443 and if, iu addition, he has had one year’s experience atsea with murine engines, he can skip the second-class grade and enter the first-class, at $60.50 per month. femlember—this includes board, lodging, and medical care. You need | spend little or nothing for amusement, as the men get up all kinds of games und sports. It is a chance to save. Muny a man bas made his Start in life on savings in the Navy. * If you haven't a trade and wish to learn one, the Navy will train you, provided its trade schools are not full at the time you enlist. If you have no trade you can enlist us an apprentice seaman and be taught the duties of a seaman. The Navy Department does not wish to urze any one into its service. But, for your good and that of the Navy, it does urge every young man (with or without a trade) to investigate and find out for himself what Navy life is and the opportunities it has to offer young men. Most of those who investigate enlist, and most of those who enlist are hichly satisfied. If you know of any one who has enlisted write and ask how he likes it. The Navy needs this year about 15,000 men—a large percentage of whom must have trades.
