MANY RUSH TO ENLIST
AVOID DRAFT ORDER
Army Recruiting Office Besieged
by Long Line of Applicants.
British Prepare for Drive

The rush of applicants for enlistment in
the regular army has literally swamped the
local recruiting office at 1929 Arch street,
When the doors opened at o'clock this
morning a line Of anxious young men stood
in line ready to sign up for immediate
service.
The recruiting officers were inclined to be
disappointed on Saturday when the number
of enlistnents did not reach their expecta-
tions. This fact was due they believe, to
a misunderstanding among drafted men as
to their eligibility for enlistment following
the drawing of the capsules on Friday.
Statements from the War Department,
however, published in the newspapers the
following day allayed these doubts and
flood Of applicants has besieged the re-
cruting Office since then.
Colonel Ellis made an appeal today for
200 men to fill up vacancies in various
branches of the Sixth Regiment of the
Pennsylvania Infantry. which he COM
mands The machine gun company needs
sixteen of that number and the band Is
seeking trombone. cornet alto horn players
and trumpeters.
The regiment is quartered at present in
the armory at ALL to 4115 Mantua avenue,
but expects to go into camp on Drexel Hill
in few days.

Allen Of American Falls, Idaho, went
to Salt Lake with the determination
of becoming a war bride Last night
her ambition was fulfilled through the
good offices Of Bishop Paul Jones
when she was married to William W.
Parman of the Twentieth infantry.
The young cople could not at first
lind a minister, and an offer by Mar
riage License Clerk John Halvorsen
to marry them was declined by the
bride, as the only witnesses available
we're young girls employed in the Of
flee. Miss Allen was too bashful tC
have them as witnesses.
So they made a canvass Of preach
ers and judges and found that all wer'
absent when the would-b7 bride an'
bridegroom called. They finally ap
pealed for aid at police headquarters
Sergeant c. W. Olson referred then
to Bishop Jones and he did the rest

SMALL TOWN PAPERS MISSED.

SALT LAKE CITY, July T.-A
rich harvest Of nickels and dimes was
missed by the various news stands OF
the city that sell hometown papers
this week Friends. relatives, travel
ing men and those subject to the Sc
lective draft stormed these places dur
ing the last few days, asking for pa
pers that even the worldly-wise new
sizes never even heard Of.
"On the square" said one news
dealer, Il could have sold ten times
as many of our regular papers II
had only thought Of ordering the er-
ira copies. They want everything from
the Podunk Press to the Bingville
Bugle. and some wanted little weekly
papers from their home towns IN
Arkansas or New Hampshire. II my
foresight had only been as good as
my hindsight I could have certainly
made a clean up.

The Idaho national guard regiment
s likely TO be sent to France almost
Immediately, according to a Wash
ington dispatch of the Associated
Press.
If transportation is available, ac-
cording to the report, the guard regi-
ments which are now fairly we'll
equipped and which have had the
benefit of the border mobilization
will not be held long at the divisional
training camps. Indications are that
the best of the state troops may stop
in the divisional training camps only
long enough for final Quitting.
That the Second Idaho was one OF
the best regiments on the border was
generally recognized. 1t was found
to be fully equipped when it de-
trained and it was one of the guard
regiments, which the regulars of the
United States army post nearly ac-
knowledged had equal efficiency with
themselves.
Called to COlOrs Wednesday.
Idaho guard reservists were called
to the colors Wednesday and the new
brigade field hospital company was
brought into the federal service, thus
completing the liberalization of al
national guard units in Idaho, excepf
for the exercise of the draft" OF
August 8, by which the last vestig'
of state authority over the militia vii
= be removed and the president will ac
quire the right to send it to parts o
the world beyond the borders Of tn
United States.
The Second Idaho has been in tn
T federal service since March 26, wit
, the exception of the reservists, tn
r brigade field hospital company bein
e the only other unit to come in. Tn
r bringing into the federal service {
e the second increment of the guarC
including the militia of many state
: was therefore little more than a fol
= mality Wednesday so far as Idah
y was concerned.
There are so reservists, but Adj
tant General Moody has been unab
to communicate with more than ha
Of them. Those who do not report
U once, he announced, will be classC
as deserters and will be subject to a
- rest. If all report, the regiment the
g will need fewer than $50 men
re bring it to war strength.

All doubt concerning the staging OF
the annual Power county fair in
American Falls was banished yester-
day when the fair association voted
to hold the annual show at the fair
grounds September 12, 13, IA. big
ger and Better Than Ever" is the US
ual slogan of the directors who held
their meeting in the office of County
Assessor o. F. Crowley. Mr.. Crow
ley, secretary of the fair association,
and c. H. Torrance, director, were
given full management of the fair and
are busy today completing plans that
will mean success to the fair.
The first boost came from the coun-
ty commissioners who voted $3.50 in
premiums to the agricultural exhibit
tors. Besides the agricultural awards
there will be unusually liberal prizes
offered for stock and school displays
and exhibits. In all the premiums
are expected to total not less thar
$1,000. There is a balance in the fail
association treasury from last veal
and this with premium awards from
local men is expected to assure th'
success of the fair from the stand
point of premiums.
Mr.. Torrance will have full charg
of the agricultural exhibits and will
his experience will probably have
display that will rival even that o
>=sst year. He urges the farmers t
begin Immediately to preserve thei
best samples for exhibition. Their
will be more money than before TO
prizes so he expects there will b
more exhibits placed.
The directors who we're at the meet
ing yesterday were ]. S. Schrocl
