Colonel R. D. Simms Says re.
leasing Of Prisoners Doesn't
Fill the Army"
THIRD INFANTRY SHORT
Cooks, Horseshoers, Drivers,
and Bandsmen Among
Those Most Needed Now.

THE release Of the prisoners held BY
Carranza at Chihuahua doesn't fill up
the army-we st.il need recruits"
Col r. d. simms. chief recruiting Of
flcer Of the national guard. declared
himself In these terms this morning as
he redola,cL his efforts &c cover The
entire District In his recruiting cam
paign.
The rising and falling of the recruit
market with the dispatches from the
border Is one Of the features OF the
campaign that the officers In charge
are trying hard to correct.
The changes in the diplomatic sit
uation have nothing at all to do with
the changes in the situation of the
military establishment. they state and
particularly with the military estab-
lshment Of the District Of Columbia.
Double Present Strength.
THE District national guard has
been ordered &c, recruit to war
strength. and II Is our Job to fill them
up" Colonel Simms states. This means
doubling their present strength. Tho
Third Infantry alone will need as
many men rs II has on its rolls at
present. ....
Just because II IL being mustered
into the service with the minimum
number permitted by law has moth
ing to. do with the situation. Each
Of those companies has got to have
$50 men eventually, and the District
Of Columbia is expected to provide
them
This means that the recruiting estab-
lishmcnt that has been organized Is
a more or less permanent organiza-
ton and that the reel uitment of the
various units will go on during the
entire time the troops are In the neld.
The present needs of the Third In
fantry are: Seven cooks. two horse
shoers, seven drivers. one saddler. and
one regimental commissary sergeant.
Need Four Bandsemn.
Four bandsmen. including one picco-
10 player; one E-flat clarinet player:
one B-flat clarinet player. and ono
tenor saxophone player.
Fifteen mechanics or machinists TO-
the machine gun company.
This is in addition to the privates
that are wanted by all companies.
Some idea OF the number OF enlisted
men needed can be gained from the
been mustered have an average
strength of about IS men and the war
strength which they must reach Is
$50 men to the company.
A glance at the news from Camp
Ordway indicates that the officers in
command OF the various companies are
rapidly wedding out the UNIT nom
commissioned officers and are pro-
noting deserving ana competent men
as rapidly as they can find them.
Many men who have Just enlisted
have been given corporals' and SER
geants chevrons Immediately when
they have been found competent and
the class OF recruits that has been
enlisted here has been of an unusual
quality 80 that many recruits are al
ready promoted.

Corn showed considerable resistance

Judge Hugh Riddell was over

from here on to Stanton on legal
business. Judge Riddell, like
all the other Estill people many
of whom daily use the Estill- Pow

their numerous and ever-increas-
ing number of automobiles, is
very anxious about this highway
which was ordered improved Feb.

for road building is fast passing

Fl. g. Crabtree, of this city, has
been appointed Game Warden
for the 26th district, composing
the five counties, viz: Rowan,

people will find him an officer

He has posted up many MOTTO

The Boosters Of Winchester

The 8: 20 train Tuesday morn
ing brought forth to Clay City
on aggregation Of business men
from Winchester that seemed to
be the most pleasant and liberia
bunch that ever hit the burg.
They fairly loaded us down with
souvenirs of value, and their
good cheer. They seemed to be
out for a good time socially rath-
er than to boost their business
a u d the Clark County Fair
which came up the next day af-
ter they were here.
The boys didn't stay. long and
it was a moment of regret when
they left, taking with them
their Royal Scotch Highlander's
Band, which, as an intermission
of the excellent playing of our
own Concert Band, was much en-
joyed, as well as the agreeable
mingling with the affable boost
ers.
The relationship between Clay
City and Winchester has thus
been frightened up one more link,
account their coming to see us.
We are often down to Winches-

still hangs out with the string
considerably stretched because
of their visit to US Tuesday.
