In consideration Of the success of
1.-THE Trail Of the Lonesome Pine"
aIplay which is still flourishing in its
fourth year, the success Of this pro-
dbction, built by the same dramatist

should not be questioned.
The greatest credit for the pro-
duction, however, is given to Edward
J. MacGrogor, who made unceasing
efforts in its behalf.

War Department Finds Recruiting
.-... Too Slow Process.

sowius to the failure of tho. regular
army recruiting campaign TO come up
to. expectations. the War Department
has announced It will call out between
1000 and 5000 reserves to I'LL the gaps in
the fourteen new regiments now In proc
ess of Organization.
Under the army reorganization law.
effective July'1. seven regiments OF in
fantry. two OF cavalry. three of field
artillery and two OF engineers were
added to the army. About 10000 men
arc needed to fill these organizations.
whereas only a few over II 900 have been
obtained through the present recruiting
campaign.
The reserves are needed to help form
the frame work of the new organiza-
taions. which will be gradually built
up as new recruits come In.
The army reserve was created under
the provisions of the army appropria-
ton act OF 1912, which changed the
term of enlistment to three years with
the colors and four years in reserve.
November !, 1915, the expiration of the
FIRST three-year term. from 100 to 5000
men passed into the reserve. Under the
law they are compelled to respond for
duty now. though It Is planned to dis
charge them as soon as their places can
be filled by recruits.
