YOUNG BOYS WANT
TO ENLIST IN Army
FOR REAL SERVICE.
If the Age Limit Was
Lower There Would Be
No Trouble in Getting Re
cruits for Second Idaho.

IF the officers of company H recruit
ing station could take boys under the
age of Is years, the company would not
be long In being recruited to full war
strength. Boys between the ages of 1e
and IS are constantly trying to enlist
and are ready to answer their country's
call for service. Most of these boys,
stated Lieutenant John Regain today,
are boys who are not acting hastily
and upon the impulse OF moment, or
through daring each other to enlist,
but are mostly boys who although
young have considered what may come
in the service. Lieutenant Regain has
talked with a number of them and
finds that they understand the situa-
tion and know what they may have to
expect. He regrets that they are not a
little older as he believes the greater
number would be excellent soldiers and
fully able to pass the physical examin-
alton.
One youth of 16 is particularly anx-
ious to enlist. He hangs about the re-
cruiting offiie daily and every night
until it closes and every little while
wants to know II there is not some
possible way for him to get in. He
now hopes to obtain the permission of
his mother. At first, he states she
would not even talk to him about GO
ing, but that now she will talk a little
and he hopes to soon wear the khaki.

GLEE CLUB TO GIVE
CONCERT AT HIGH
SCHOOL TOMORROW

The University of Idaho Glee club,
which appears at the high school audi
torium tomorrow night, brings with it
an unbroken record of successes and
the reputation OF being the best glee
club in the northwest. That this is no
idle claim is amply proven by the en-
thusiastic press reports from the towns
which the organization has visited The
program given is an extensive one and
includes q wide variety of numbers,
some for every taste.
The club itself is composed of 10
voices, divided among the four parts
so as to form perfect harmony. The
university quartet as IN past years,
proves to be one OF the biggest attrac-
tons on the program. 1t is composed
of Messrs. Erb, Henry, King and Nc
Donald, all of whom are excellent sing
ers.
Fred Erb is the reader with the or
ganization. One of the numbers he
gives Is Services 1.-The Shooting of
Dan McGrew," read with a subdued
Accompaniment on the piano.
There are three vocal soloists. Har-
old King, baritone, has a voice of wide
range and good quality. Homer Nc
Donald, bass, hasa greater compass
than most young singers and Richard
Canaan. tenor, has a we'll trained voice.
c. N. Johnson is the violin soloist.
The organization is under the leader
ship of Professor Eugene H. Storer.

MILITARY TACTICS
BEING TAUGHT THE
IDAHO PRISONERS

The inmates of the penitentiary held
patriotic celebrations both Tuesday
and Wednesday,. Warden DeKay fur
nished each man with an American
flag and they marched to the strains of
martial music and saluted Old Glory.
The penitentiary band gave a concert
of patriotic airs after which sports
were INDUCED in. The baseball game
between the yard men and the shop
men resulted in a score of Z to in
favor of the yard men.
Captain Booth of the penitentiary
guards Is drilling the inmates every
day. In case war is declared, he says
he could easily raise a company as
there are soldiers of every nation con-
fined in there. Those who are exper-
fenced soldiers give a very creditable
exhibition drill every day. They also
have an awkward squad which is
mainly conspicuous for its size and en-
thusiasm but bids fair to outrival the
others in point Of numbers if nothing
else.
