BLAKE'S RECORD
AS PRESS AGENT
Leads All Recruiting Officers
In District
lie Has Enlisted Full Company Of
Infantry at Paducah Since
Last April.
THIS Is THE BEST STATION

One full company Of infantry, on
peace footing. has been enlisted by
Sergeant Blake at the local recruit
ing office, since his &rIdval in the city
April ~. Sixty men form a COM
pany and they do not include the en-
listments for the hospital and signal
corps. A recruiting office might en-
list thousand men for these two
branches of the service but no credit
IL given in the report of enlistments.
The average for the Paducah sub
station has been about nine men a
month including all enlistments.
As a press agent, the report of the
war department shows that Sergeant
Blake leads an the officers in the cir
cult including Paducah. Evansville,
vincennes, Mt. Vernon and Owens
boro. Every time a mention OF the
,ocal recruiting office Is made in the
daily papers, he must send a copy to
the war department, where they are
copied for record. In November this
office received nine such notices in
the papers out Of twenty for the Ave
cities. This is half the total number.
The larger number OF those notices
were copied from The Sun.
In November Paducah enlisted
nearly half of the total enlistment
for the five cities. Paducah enlisted
nine out of a total of twenty. Evans
Willie enlisted seven and Owensboro
and Vinoennes enlisted 4 together.
Mt. Vernon had no enlistments. With
the exception of cities of the size of
New York. Chicago, Boston and st.
Louis, the Evansville district, of
which Paducah is part, leads all
the districts in the United States for
eplistments, considering that this
district has only four sub-stations.
Lieut.. w. l.. Reed accepted three
men yesterday for the army, enlisted
by Sergeant Blake.
