The ships will start from various points along the Atlantic coast--Boston, Newport, New York, Philadelphia, Norfolk, and Charleston. Practically any person in good physical health and between the ages of 19 and 45 can enroll, and the cost of the cruise to each man will be about $30, which will cover the cost of his board and provide...
