Cost of living hampering Navy recruiting in 1917
High ashore wages and rising living costs hinder Navy enlistments with about 55,000 enlisted out of 77,000 authorized. Rear Admiral McGowan told the House Naval Committee that recruitment remains steady only because men are reluctant to send home less money to dependents. Re-enlistments hold at about 85 percent and costs for rations and fuel are rising, with 1918 budgets likely needing increases.
