Mr.. Alex. D. Johnson, who is looking up re-
cruits for the army. He says Uncle Sam needs
from 1000 to 1000 recruits month and thinks
that Maine has not furnished her quota He
was told that was because there is plenty of
work in this State for all who are willing to
work; and from his observations in Belfast Mr.
johnson concluded that this was not promis-
ing field for recruits. He said, however, that
some men were suited to army life who were
not contented in other occupations. Before
entering the army he had been engaged in
farming and mining, had been in the army
twelve years, and was we'll satisfied with the
life and with the provision for those who con-
tnued in the service.
