Hie most, valuable service that those unable to enlist themselves can per form for their country at the present time is to get men enlisted in the Navy. While it is important to get men for other branches of the service, the need of the Navy for enlisted men is immediate. Owing to the shortage of officers and men of the regular Navy, if is a physical impossibility for the Navy to recruit the men needed with the requisite speed. It is impossible for the Navy Department to furnish recruiting literature, posters, pamph lets, etc., fast enough. It is therefore necessary that thousands of patriotic people, both men and women, who wish to help their country at the pres ent time, take steps to obtain men for the Navy, Doctors can render valuable service by volunteering to conduct prelimin ary examinations at the home of the applicant. The following plan is suggested for any given locality: (1) Form a committee having rep resentatives from all the towns and villages in the district selected. (2) This committee collect funds. (3) Obtain samples of recruiting posters, literature, etc., from the near est recruiting office and have these i printed. (4) Obtain automobiles and enough I persons to form recruiting parties, in- i eluding women, the automobiles to be i used to hunt recruits and transport j them to the doctors to be examined, j (Doctors will be furnished pamphlets j showing physical requirements for re cruits of the Navy.) (5) Send applicants passing the physical examination to the nearest Navy Recruiting Station. Provision should be made for return of applicant to his home in case he does not pass examination at recruiting station. (6) It is suggested that committee include postmaster, principals and teachers of high schools, Y. M. C. A. representatives and doctors. (7) An applicant between 17 and 18 should procure an affidavit from his parents or guardian, consenting to his enlisting in the Navy to serve until 21, and stating the date and place of birth. An applicant over eighteen should present evidence of the place and date of his birth. Georgia and Florida are asked to furnish 600 men at once to fill the quota asked for by the president.
