CITIZEN CRUISE PROVES POPULAR Full Quota of Civilian Sailors Will Take Cruise on Battle- ship Cruisers in August. LEARN ALL TRIOKS OF SEA Washington, July 22—Enrollment of civilians for the forthcoming cruise on United States warships is proceed- ing with indications that the experi- ment is popular, and there is no doubt that the full quota of 2,000 citizen sail- ors, ranging all the way from 19 to 45 years of age, will be ready to carry their dunnage 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 grominent 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. i 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, from Boston, Mass.; the Illinois, from Newport, R. 1.; 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 will 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 ractice will be held by the trainin ?lcct from August 27 to September 5. The object of the cruise is officially described by Secretary Daniels as fol- S 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 neéd.” Will Be Given Ratings. At the end of the cruise each volun- teer will be given a certificate by Rear Admiral Helm spccifying 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 t{eir substitutes for the chiffoniers at home; they will help clean ship, polish brasswork, assist in the engine room and generally go through the rigorous duties of any Jack Tar. S 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, in addition to tHe practical experience afforded. No Coal Passing. The volunteers are to be organized, messed and berthed separate from the regulars-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 ass physicial examination before em- ‘b)arking. 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 ns 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,” and general quarters are E:séntialé c;f a Complete Tonic Every tonic offered the public should do more than stimulate the organs.

The volunteers as- signed to engineering duty will work in two-hour shifts from 8 a. m. to 8 . m. All volunteers will be relieved ?rom assignments to attend all drills and lectures. Three Divisions. Three divisions of the 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 only 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 yachts and motorboats in problems of defense of naval districts. In co-operation with the cruising fleet, several hundred yachts and 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 ¢harting. 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 tates. 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. Holdup Men and Pickpockets Declare Dividends Friday Theodore Rolfe of Clinton, la., was held up at Tenth and Farnam streets Friday night by two negroes and robbed of $5, he reported to the police. W. H. Riner of Lincoln, Neb., went into a S-and-10-cent store in the after- noon to'buy a dime’s worth of some product and while jostling about in the crowd was robbed of his watch, the police were informed. Dave Mooney, stopping at the City hotel, was held up at Thirteenth and Farnam streets and robbed of $3. He claimed that two white men did the job. High Temperatures Reported - From Black Hills Country According to the railroads, Friday was a scorcher up in the Black Hills. All through' that section the day opened with a temperature of 60 to 65 degrees above zero, closing with 100 to 105 Yesterday the thermometer started in at around 70, with 65 to 80 reported ‘out through western Ne- braska. Few rains werer eported to the railroads. Down through the Burling- ton territory in the southern portion of the state there were scattered showers, with fairly good rains in'the vicinity of McCook and in spots up the west end of the Republican river valley. Avoid Summer Colds - and Pneumonia Colds and Pneumonia are dangerous at all times, but doubly so in summer time. Weakened, overheated bodies exposed to sud- den chills are likely victims. A reliable tonic stimulant such as Duffy's Malt often forti- fies the body against the dangerous germs. Note Mr. Gittleman's remarks: vilians will MR. CHARLES W. GITTLEMAN “I have used Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey | a5 a medicinal tonic since 1906. I had pneu- monia and was directed by my family phy- sieian to use Duffy's. It did me a great deal of good and ever since it has been used in my family. I am 38 years of age and a commercial traveler. Am outdoors a great deal and find this medicine a worthy stimu- lant and good preventative of colds, etc., for which I cheerfully recommend it."—Charles W. Gittleman, 1684 Gates Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey The merit and honesty of a product that has been before the public for more than half a century cannot be questioned. Its fame has spread the world over; it stands today a most celebrated and suecessful medi- cine. It is a great remedial agent in the treatment of pneumonia, grip, coughs, colds, other throat and lung troubles and in all stomach troubles.
