GUARD DEMANDS
MORE RECRUITS

Be Renewed.

There's a song called Wake Up,
America Somebody ought to write one
called Wake Up, Washington said Col.
Clarence V. Saver last night
The remark followed the totaling Of the
days recruiting at l225 Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. Despite the house to house canvass
the records at 10 o'clock last night showed
only twenty enlistments. 1t was ad-
rnitted that, at this rate, It will be prac-
tically impossible for the militia to reach
war strength by the time orders come to
entrain
To rouse the citiEenry to this need. The
Washington Herald and other newspa-
pers have thrown open their advertising
columns to the National Guard. A large
display "ad," pleading for enlistments,
appears on another page Of this paper.
In addition the house to house canvass
will be continued today.
The chief trouble believe" said Col
Sayer, lis that the men are holding back
waiting for an actual declaration Of war
We've simply got to have more men-and
we have only a little time left in which
to get them"
Previous statistics as to the strength
OF the District forces have been upset by
physical examinations. The new recruits
are getting by in hrst-class shape, for
before being accepted. by the National
Guard they are examined Just as
thoroughly as by the regular army Of
ficers This is not the case with the
old members Of the guard. all Of whom
must be examined physically by the
United States authorities.

WHEN YEARS BEGIN TO FLY
With Advancing Years, Time Has
Dsconce rtins Manner OF Slipping
Away With Rapidly.

One Of the most puzzling phenome-
ma in all life is the peculiar difference
in the conception of the flight OF time
existing between the child and the
aged person. A year seems an age to
a child but to a grown person only
few days. If both young and old were
to estimate the length Of time con-
sumed by an hour they would inva-
riably coincide in their decision; like
wise in describing a minute or a Sec
ond, but when the year is thought OF
a tremendous difference is noted.
William James, the great psycholo-
eist, explained this strange freak OF
our mentality when he analysed 1t
thus: "The same space Of time seems
shorter as we grow older-that is, the
months and the years do so; whether
the hours do so is extremely doubtful,
and the minutes and seconds, to all
appearances, remain about the same.
"In youth we may have an absolute
ly new experience, subjective or objec-
tive, every hour of the day. Apprehen-
sion is vivid, retentiveness strong, and
our recollections of that time, like
those spent in rapid and interesting
travel, are of something intricate, null
titudinous and long drawn out.
"But as each passing year converts
some of these experiences into auto
matte routine, which we hardly note
at all the days and the weeks smooth
themselves out in recollection to con-
tentless units and the years grow hol'
low and collapse"
