To the Public:

The Navy needs more men both for the Reserve, and for the regular service. The Navy Department has issued a hurried call for men skilled in certain lines of work.

Cooks, Bakers, Musicians, and Radio or Telegraph Operators are especially needed at the present time. These men can enroll in the Naval Reserve Force, members of which are only required to perform active duty in time of war. Friendly aliens, if well qualified can be enrolled in the Reserve in these branches on first citizenship papers. All men enrolled in these branches are almost certain of active sea duty immediately.

The pay of these men is as follows:
Cooks 	1st	class	receive $66.50 per mo.
" 	2nd	"	" 	52.00 	"  "
" 	3rd	"	" 	41.00	"  "
