...During the first week ships will cruise individually, and the recruits will be taught the rudiments of sailor-craft. During the second week the various ships will come together and participate in the Atlantic Fleet's War Game. This will offer an unparalleled opportunity of learning the actual battle formations and tactics of the Navy. During the third week the squadron will maneuver along the Atlantic Coast, possibly spending some time at Narragansett Bay, or other central port. For the last week the ships will return to the port of embarkation, where landing parties will be made. Auxiliary motor boats...
...describing the actual work of the Y. M. C. A. among the soldiers, Mr. Carter emphasized the importance of letter writing, between one and two million sheets of writing paper being distributed among the men every day.

Second, it is impossible to understand the progress of a campaign without a map of the field of operations. Third, it must be remembered that the date and place at the head of the dispatches are often...
Civilian committees are now working in Portland, Boston, Newport, New York, Philadelphia, and other places, and the various recruiting officers throughout the country have charge of the actual enrolment. The routine on board will be similar to that at Plattsburg. A portion of the day will be given up to the study of special subjects which will be largely optional, so that recruits who have aptitude for or knowledge of special subjects, such as navigation, signaling, radio work, steam or electrical engineering, etc., may have an opportunity to specialize, the object being to give everybody a general idea of what...
