Mayor Boyd was here last evening. He
says that if Delaware wants to hold her
place In the first ranks of the county hol
patriotic sons will have to come to her res
cue New Castle county will have TO fl
the breach. The people from the lower
part of the state will not enlist at present
He cannot understand why the young
men who have no families depending upon
them do no. rally around the flag. The men
know that they will have their own Off
GERS and yet they refuse TO serve that coun'
try by volunteering their service.
AT the armory Lieutenant Hammers
and the other two men spent the day wait
ing for recruits Only two mon appeared to
be willing to Join the ranks One went
down to Camp Tunnel yesterday and the
other will 60 to morrow. Lieutenant Ham
mers could not conceive low the false res
port was circulated that Governor Tun-
nell proposes to draft men into the Nation
III Guard next week.
The people are fully aware that no one
can DO drafted at present into the regular
army. Volunteers are what the Govern
ment wants. Company II has about fifty
members at Camp Tunnel at present
There are 81 more men needed for full
quota. Some objections have been made
to some of Company HIS officers and that
is why the men at this place do not want
to enlist.
