THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, THURSDAY, SEPT. 27, 1917

SAILORS HAVE GREAT CHANGES FOR MOTION Pay' of Warrant Officers

Ranges up to $2,400 a Year

Commissions Available.

NEW- YORK, Sept. 27. The United States Navy offers more opportunities

to the enlisted men and gives better; pay both for active service and in retirement than any other branch of the armed forces of the government. 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 enlistment his pay is also increased. As an instance of this, a young man enlisting in the Navy receives now the following pay: Apprentice Seaman 132.60 a month. Seaman second class $35.90 a month, and Serman $38.40 a month. From this post he may become a petty officer receiving a present war pay of $41.00 for third class, $46.50 for second class, and $52.00 for first class. Rising to a chief petty officer,

his present war pay is from $61.00 to

$83.00, depending on his class of skilled work. From $1,500 Up The next higher grade is that of warrant officer which is a life position, attainable only by promotion from enlisted grades. The pay of a wan-ant officer is $1,500 to $2,400 a year, depending upon length of service "with benefits of retirement of 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 is composed of Boatswains, Gunners, Carpenters, Machinists, Sailmakers, Pharmacists and Pay Clerks. Warrant officers have a- still higher step in that they are commissioned as Chief Warrant Officers in their various grades, with rank of Ensign, after six years of service as Boat

swain, Gunner, Machinist, Pharmacist or Pay Clerk. After six years further service from date of commission they receive the pay and allowance of a Lieutenant junior grade in the Navy; and after twelve years' service from date of commission they receive the pay and allowances of a Lieutenant In the Navy. The advancement- which Is open to ambitious young men who enlist in the Navy is not limited to tie grade

or warrant officer. There are several ( avenues open for promotion to commission, for, example: 12 Get In Annually A boatswain, gunner or machinist,1 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 examination is held every year, appointments being limited to 12 annually. A man who wins a commissicti in this manner is entitled to the same pay, privileges, honors and opportunities for further advancement as are open for officers who are graduates of the Naval Academy. Pay Clerks and chief pay clerks under 35 years of age may take the examination for appointment as assistant paymaster in the Navy, This examination is usually , held each year and is competitive.

The law provides fpr the appointment each year of 100 enlisted men to the Naval Academy, the requirements being that the applicant must pass a

competitive examination, must be un

der 20 years of age at the time of appointment, and must have been In the Navy at least one year at date of entrance to the Naval Academy. Exminations for entrance to the Naval Academy are conducted on board all

ships and stations wherever there ar6 applicants. i In order to give young men a chance to prepare for this examination, classes are formed at all the training stations, and on board ships, with special Instructors, and the free use of the necessary text-books. The candidates who have the highest standing on the examination, and have successfully passed the physical examination, enter, the Naval Academy on August 15, and are admitted on exactly the same terms as midshipmen who are nominated by Members of Congress, and upon graduation, receive commissions in the Navy. $2 Day Subsistence

Retiring from the service as 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 on recruiting duty he will

receive $2 a day of $60 a month for

subsistence.! The following schedule

will show what a man will receive after retirement into the Reserves. After four years of service he will receive $62.50 a year if he goes into the Reserve Force four months after his discharge. If he waits over that time his retalnr will be $50.00.

After eight years service, the retainer is $90; if after four months of discharge, and $72 after that. For 12 years service, $125 yearly retainer, - it after four months of discharge, 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 permanent additions, amounting to $20 to $25, and averaging a monthly income of $46. ' If he has served 20 years, this amount will aggregate $65 monthly. If called back into the regular service this man will then receive the regular pay of his class plus his retainer pay and if on recruiting ' duty $2.00 a day for subsistence. For instance, a chief petty officer drawing a regular pay of $96 monthly would receive $45 retainer and $60 subsistance allowance, making a total of $202.00.

If thiB 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

lieutenant's pay and nearly equal to that of a full lieutenant or a captain

in the army

Over 3,000 Breton women earn their

living as sailors.
