Starting at the very beginning it is possible for a young man by work and study to have continuous and frequent | advancement with increase of pay. To { his base pay there is always extra pay | for special duties and with each en- listment his pay is also increased. As an instance of this, a young man en- listing in the Navy receives now the | folawing pay: Apprentice seaman, | $32.60 a month; seamen second class, | $35.90 a month, and seamen, $38.40 a month, From this post he may be- come a petty officer receiving a pres- ent war pay of $41 for third class, | $46.50 for sccond class, and $52 for | first class. Rising to a chief petty | officer, his present war pay is from | $61 to $83, depending on his class of | skilled work. i | The next higher grade is that of warrant officer, which is a life posi- tion, attainable only by promotion from enlisted grades. The pay of a warrant officer is $1,5600 to $2,400 a | year, depending upon length of service with benefits of retirement at 64 years of age on three-quarters pay or at any time before 64 for disability incurred in line of duty. The warrant officers grade 1s composed of boatswains, gun- ners, carpenters, machinists, sail- | makers, pharmacists and pay olerks. ‘Warrant officers have a still higher step in that they are commissioned as chief warrant officers in their varions machinist, pharmacist or pay clerk. After six years’ further service fraom date of commission they receive the pay and allowance of a lieutenant junior grade in the Navy; | and after twelve yvears' service from | date of commission they receive the pay and alowance of a lieutenant in Higher Opportunities. The advancement which is open to ambitious young men in the Navy is not limited to the grade of warrant There are several avenues example: A boatswain, gunner or machinist, or a chief boatswain, chief gunner or chief machinist, who has been in his grade four years and is under 35 years of age, may enter the examination for appointment as ensign; this examina- tion is held every year, appointments being limited to 12 annually. A man who wins a commission in this manner is entitled to the same pay, privileges, henors and opportunities for further who are graduates of the Naval Pay clerks and chief pay clerks un- 5 years of age may take the ex- ! ment each year of 100 enlisted men | be under 20 years of age at the time ; of appointment, and must have been ! board ships), with special instructors, i * midshipmen who are | Rctainer During Reserve Scrvice. ant paymaster in the Navy. This exam- ination is usually held each year and is competitive. The law pravides for the appoint- to the Naval Academy, the require- ments being that-the applicant must pass a competitive examination, must in the Navy at least one vear at date | of entrance to the Naval Academy. Examinations for entrance to the Naval Ascademy are conducted. on beard all ships and stations wherever there arc applicants. In order to give young men a chance to prepare for this examination, classes are formed at all the training stations (and on and the free use of the necessary text- hooks. The candidates who have the highest standing on the examination, and have successfully passed the phy- sical examination, enter the Naval { Academy on August 15th, and are adniitted on exactly the same terms as nominated by members of Congress, and, upon grad- uation, receive commissions in the | Navy. i Retiring from the service, chief petty officers of any class may enter the Reserve Force where he receives an annual retainer. Should he be | called into active service he is then | paid, in addition to his retainer, the | base pay of the regular Navy for active | duty and if an recruiting duty he will | receive $2 a day or $60 a month for subsistence. The following schedule { will show what a man will receive aft- | er retirement into the Reserves: After i four vears of service he will receive | $62.50 a year if he goes into the Re- | serve Force four months after his dis- i charge;; if he waits over that time his | retainer will be $50. After elght years' service, the re- tainer {s $90 if after. four months of discharge, and $72 after that. Far 12 years service, $125 yearly retainer if after four months of dis- charge, and $100 after that. Reaching 16 years of active service, a chief petty officer on going into ! the Reserve will receive one-third of the base pay plus all permanént addi- tions, amounting to $20 and $25, and averaging a mgnthly income of $46. It he has served 20 years this amount will aggregate $65 monthly, If called back inta the regular serv- | ice this man will then receive the regular pay of his class plus his retain- | er pay and if on recruiting duty, $2 a day for subsistence. For instance, a chief petty officer drawing a regular pay of $96 monthly would receive $45 retainer and $60 subsistence allowance, making a total of $202. If this man had retired after 20 years and was called back, he could draw $65 retainer, $105 regular and $60 subsistence, making a total of $220, which is more than a junior | eutenant’s pay and nearly equal to that of a full Heutenant or a captain _in the Army, TR IO ‘“Fiilored at Fashion Pusk THE ARDSLEY These smart belt “all around” fall over- coats have a particular drape and swing.
