RECRUITS F0R GUARD CONE
 IN FASTER, BUT MORE MEN
 ARE NEEDED II FILL RANKS

The increased interest in Arizona s splendid military contribution to na tional defense is being rapidly felt all over the state. Since the last report was made two days ago eighteen more men have passed through this city en route to the regiment headquarters at NacO. This does not count the re- cruits from Douglas Bisbee, Tucson. Yuma nor Globe. Thirty eight through Phoenix in one week is a much better showing than was expected by those who have not given the First Arizona Infantry the consideration it's position and it's record demands.
 Of this list of eighteen men of course seven come from St. Johns, and six other names pending which will doubt less be added to the list of recruits during the next day or two. Recruit ing has begun in earnest and the con- certed effort in all parts of the state has not been without it's immediate results.
 The class of young men being ob- tained is very high. Those from the north are more generally farmers and are strong, hardy, big fellows. Those from this section are divided between town boys and Indians. The states experience with the Indians as sol diers has been exceptionally satisfac- tory. Not only have they proven their mettle on more than one occasion but the members of the Indian tribes in this section of the state show an in- tense patriotism and love for the ser vice
 Captain Oscar Temple, in charge of the work in this section, is very high ly pleased with the increased interest and very much satisfied with the con- tinued influx of men. There is no dan ger of them coming too fast, for should such a thing occur more recruiting officers will immediately be ordered on duty at this headquarters to take care of the rush to the colors.
 Captain LeBaron, working in the northern portion of the state is having q splendid reception. Several of the northern cities are planning patriotic meetings for him when he shall visit with them, and community aid in re- cruiting is being offered in more than one little place.
 1t seems that the word is fast getting over the state that other states are rapidly filling their quota of the na- lOnal guard forces by volunteering, before the necessity of a draft comes. This sort of lever is bringing Ari- zonians into their own regiment from a feeling of state pride, just as it ought to. As one of the recruiting sergeants said the other day when a man said he had offered his services
 governor Campbell: Tt would be in better part if instead of offering your services that way, you'd volun- -eer. Then the governor knows that he has your services without any more fuss. That's the sort of service that Arizona and the country need at this time A heap less talk and a lit tie more action. Fewer letters to the authorities and more visits to the re- "rulting office" Naturally, the man had but little to say in answer to that, but the seed may sink in, and the stacker come back.
 The following is the list of the men who have gone to the regiment since the last list was published during the latter part of last week:

 At first Desmond was cast only in serious roles, and many members Of nces directing staff declared that it would be a mistake to test his versa .ility further.
 But the director general had great faith in Desmond's ability to depict various emotions and insisted that his ,rotege be given every opportunity. As a result Desmond is today one of he best all-round actors shown on the Triangle program and has become genuine box office attraction.
