"nH Quota of Civilian Sailors
, Will Take Cruise on Battle

WARN ALL TRICKS OF SEA
t ,
Washington, July 22. Enrollment
f civilians for the forthcoming cruise
an United States warships is proceed
ing with indications that the experi
ment it popular, and there is no doubt
that the full quota of 2,000 citiien sail
ers, ranging all the way from 19 to 45
years of age, will be ready to carry
their dtmnage bags aboard the prac
tice fleet on August 15. The men will
board the ships at the ports nearest
their home, and in the month's dura
tion of the cruise will be given experi
ence In almost every form of naval
life from swabbing decks to firing big
guns. The enrollment thus far shows
men of all trades and professions,
many prominent and wealthy, who
are enthusiastic over this new plan of
naval preparedness. Assistant Secre
tary Roosevelt of the Navy depart
ment expects to spend at least some
of the month as one of the citizen
bluejackets.
Rear Admiral J. M. Helm, who is
at present in charge of the naval mili
tia cruise, will be commander-in-chief
of the civilian cruise also, and will use
the same warships. The vessels and
the ports from which they will sail
are: The Virginia, from Portland,
Me.; the Kearsarge, fronrBoston,
Mass.; the Illinois, from Newport, R.
I.; the Kentucky and Maine, from
New York City; the Rhode Island and
Alabama, from Philadelphia; the
Louisiana, from Norfolk, Va., and the
New Jersey, from Charleston, S. C.
Hold Target Practice.
The cruise wilt end September 12
and during its last week will be held
a mobilization and training cruise of
yachts and motorboats. From August
15 until August 20 the citizen sailors
will be proceeding to the training
rendezvous at Tangier Sound, in
Chesapeake bay, the gunnery practice
ground of the Atlantic fleet. Target
practice will be held by the training
fleet from August 27 to September 5.
The object of the cruise is officially
described by Secretary Daniels as fol
lows: .
"For training volunteers to afford
to civilians an opportunity to gain, by
close contact with naval life and naval
duties, some experience and under
standing which will help them to per
ceive the way they may best fit them
selves for service in the navy in time
of neeU"
Will Be Given Ratings.
At the end of the cruise each volun
teer will be given a certificate by Rear
Admiral Helm specifying the duties
he performed, efficiency displayed and
the naval rating he is best qualified to
filL Volunteers also will announce
their intention whether they will vol
unteer for naval service in case of war
within the next four years. -
Each volunteer is depositing but $30
for the privilege of the month s cruise,
the navy supplying uniforms and other
naval clothing. The volunteers will
be given substantially the same train
ing as midshipmen from the naval
academy during their training periods.
They will sleep in hammocks; canvas
bags will be their substitutes for the
chiffoniers at home; they will help
clean ship, polish brassworlf, assist in
the engine room and generally go
through the, rigorous duties of any
Tack Tar.
Mixed with the work, however, will
be much recreation and instruction.
When conditions permit, the men will
be allowed to go swimming twice
daily, and hold rowing and sailing
races, and inter-ship base ball games.
Lectures and private instructions will
be given daily by navy officers,7 in
addition to the practical experience
afforded.
No Coal Passing.
The volunteers are to be organized,
messed and berthed separate from
the regulara-aboard ship and will not
be required to pass coal, work in the
mess room, stoke boilers or do ex
tremely laborious work which might,
too severely strain men of sedentary
life, although all will be required to
pass physicial examination before em
barking. From daybreak until 9 a. m., a reg
ular program of duties awaits the
civilians, with almost every minute
filled. -Before breakfast two and a
half hours' work will be the daily pro
gram of the citizen sailors. During
the cruise they will be drilled and in
structed in the three and five-inch
guns of the ships, in signalling, boat
ing of all kinds, fire control, torpedo
defense, quartermaster's duties, ma
rine and electrical machinery, includ
ing radio work. Emergency drills,
such as fire quarters, collision, "man
overboard," $nd general quarters are

also scheduled. The volunteers as
signed to engineering duty will work
in two-hour shifts from 8 a. m. to 8
D. m. All volunteers will be relieved
from assignments to attend all drills
and lectures.
Three Divisions.
Three divisions of the civilians will
be formed, with subdivisions under
navy and volunteer officers. , During
the last week of the cruise all volun
teers will have deck duties exclusively.
Every volunteer will drill as a mem
ber of a gun's crew and all will par
ticipate in some capacity in the target
practice.
The mobility of the practice fleet
may be somewhat limited while in
Tangier sound, as bnly their reserve
crews will be aboard and their
manueuvers will be confined to their
reduced capacity.
From September 5 to 12, the fleet
will be proceeding to and at ports of
embarkation, participating in exer
cises with the mobilized vachts and
motorboats in problems of defense of
naval distrcts.
In co-operation with the cruising
tleet, several hundred yachts ana
motorboats will hold maneuvers at
Norfolk, New York, Philadelphia,
Newport, Boston and Portland, Me.
They will, after organizing, be given
instruction in scouting, patrolling,
signalling, manueuvering by signals,
piloting and charting. The depart
ment plans the mobilization as .an
initial step toward a volunteer patrol
service. The object of the week's
work will be to organize, in a general
way, the yachts and motorboats of
the naval districts, and to give owners
an idea of what would be required of
them in time of war.
Soldiers in Trenches
Write to Railroads
For Land Literature
Indications point to a heavy
European emigration soon after the
close of the war, according to the
railroad people. At this time hardly
a day passes that the land depart
ments of the Union Pacific and
Burlington do not receive letters from
Europe asking about land and condi
tions in' the country west of the Mis
souri. Many of the letters coming to the
land departments of the two roads
are from men in the trenches, and in
these letters they assert that as soon
as they are released from the armies
they intend 'to come to the United
States.
In all instances where information
has been sought relative to western
land and opportunities in the west
packages of literature have been for
warded. The Union Pacific passen
ger department estimates that dur
ing the last two months more than 200
letters have been received from the
war zone of Europe. None of the
letters make any reference to . the
progress of the war.

Avoid Summer Colds

Colds and Pneumonia art danreroui at all
times, but doubly ao in summer time.
Weakened, overheated bodies deposed to sud

fies the body against the dangerous germs.
Note Mr. Gittleman's remarket
MR. CHARLES W. GITTLFMAN
"I have used Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
as a medicinal tonic since 1906. I had pneu
monia and was directed by my family phy
sician to use Duffy's. It did me a great
deal of good and ever since It has been used
in my family. I am 88 years of age and a
commercial traveler. Am outdoors a great
deal and find this medicine a worthy stimu
lant and food preventative of colds, etc., for
which X cheerfully recommend it" Charles
