So MORE MEN ARE NEEDED
TO FILL RANKS OF THE @. M. D

With the arrival of 2l recruit
into the mobilization camp Of the Or
ganized Militia of Delaware at the Riff
Range for enlistment into one of tn
four Wilmington companies, composing
the First Battalion, Delaware Infantry
that battalion will be mustered into tn
Federal service by Lieutenant Diller, Y
5. A., instructor OF the Delaware Mil
itia.
While the idea has been current that
should tke .recruits not respond, the re-
quired number of men would be trans
ferred from the companies OF the Sec.
ond Battalion to the First Battalion
and that in this way the First Battalion
would be built up to its minimum quota
and mustered into the service, that plan
is not to be followed and it is announced
that the only way in which the battal-
ion will be mustered into the Federal
service is TO have enough recruits TO en-
list to give the battalion the required
260 men, 60 men to a company.
The battalion may be mustered into
the service sometime today. It all de-
ponds upon the success of the recruit
ing. Major Reed this morning felt optI-
mistic, expressing his belief that before
nightfall the First Battalian would have
its full quota and would be ready to be
mustered into the service. With the
mastering in of the battalion the regu-
lation military shoes will be distributed
to the members of the battalion, who
are in need of footwear.
The probability OF the battalions
returning TO their home headquarters
should enough men not respond to
the call for recruits. has caused
much concern among the militiamen.
They all want to move to the bor-
der. Come on. you'd better go
along with u.s." is a greeting often
heard from militiamen to friends.
The officers, however, entertain
bright hopes of securing the needed
men. and scouting" after probable
recruits over the entire State has
been going on by parties OF militia
men. Recruiting at the City Hall in
this city is still in progress, with
Lieutenant Carswell in charge. Signs

Flag Raising al Manhasset Field

Manhassett base ball team satistac- torily punished the Jewett City team last Saturday taking the game from them by the decisive score of 10 10 |. The previous Saturday at Jewett City Manhassett had to be satitied with the short end. The game was closer than the score would indicate. For eight innings the teams were running even down the stretch but the visitors could not stand the pace. Some batting and an addition to the Jewetts error col umn in the Sth let four men cross.
 A feature of the afternoon was the unfurling of beautiful United States flag presented by the company. Su. perintendent A. D. Lowne cornered the market, locally, on horns, and when the stars and stripes were hoisted 10 the top Of the 50 foot pole there was din suitable for any patriotic occa- sion. The wind took part and kept the national emblem waving almost out straight making very pretty sight.
