Nation Wide Drive for 10000 Re
cruits Begun

Washington, D. c., June 23.-A
nationwide drive of one week to re-
cruit 10000 men to bring the regular
army up to its authorized war
strength of 100000 men, began to-
day in accordance with President
Wilson's proclamation calling for
volunteers.
This is the first step in the war Or
ganization of Americas army. Next
is the task of completing the full
strength of the National Guard; then
comes the selection of men for the
new National Army, from the mil
lions who registered June S.
The President calls upon unmar-
ried men between the ages of 10 and
40 years who have no dependents,
and who are not engaged in pursuits
vitality necessary to the prosecution
of the war.
This means that those between the
ages of 10 and FL, and 81 and %. as
well as the recent registrants, will be
given an opportunity for immediate
training and the prospect of early
active service.
The urgency of filling the ranks of
the regular army is emphasized by
army officers. who declare it will be
necessary within the next six months
to take many of the regulars as in
structors for the new selective army.
It is planned to incorporate in the
new regiments of the regular army
portions of already established and
training units as a framework to as
sure rapid development.
The recruiting offices throughout
the country will have the assistance
of the press. the State Defense Coun-
ellis and patriotic societies in the ef-
fort to bring 10000 men to the eo1ors
within . week.

PERSHING TO THE CENTER
A Front Near St. Quentin for the
United States Army Troops.

Washington, June 23.-The Ameri-
can army in France will occupy a po.
sition south OF St. Quentin, between
the French and British lines. Tho
exact location and extent of front; to
be held by the United States forces
will be decided by General Pcrshine
in consultation with the French wat
office.
1t was learned today that the
French war mission to the United
States recommended the position to
be taken by the American troops,
there being only four sectors avail
able for an independent command.
They were the French front in NJ
SAGE, the Belgian front next to the
sea, the Belgian front contiguous 10
the British line and the front be-
tween the British and French com
mands.
There are two reasons entering in
to the selection of a front for the
American army separate from either
the French or British army, these be-
ing the necessity for an independent
command and the necessity for an in
dependent source of supply.
By taking a position between the
French and British forces, the Ancri-
can command will be supreme cn is
front in the same manner and to the
same degree that the British army is
independent, and it will have its own
transport and lines of communication
to its bases without conference with
or from either the British or French
command.
The base for the American army
has not been announced. The field
base probably will be about 'fty
miles south of St. Quentin. The ex-
tent of the front to be taken over
immediately by the American troops
also will be decided by General
Pershing, in consultation with the
French authorities, but it is believed
here that it will be about five miles
in width to be extended south and
east as new troops arrive.
Five thousand men in round NUM-
bers are required. for every mile OF
front taken over by the American
army. On this front General PERISH
ing will be in supreme command, but
he will consult with the French war
office and field commander of neces-
sity. in like manner - : the British
commander in the field consults with
the French. General Pershing, like
the British commander, will not in
any sense, be responsible to the
French, but to his own government.

Replant Bottoms in Corn

Replant bottoms or overlooked
land along creeks and rivers in corn,
If the ground gets into working fix
right away, says Jewell Mayes OF the
Missouri Board of Agriculture.
Emergency crops serve we'll if the
individual farmer can feed the forage
to live stock, but corn is the one
crop that can be either held, sold, or
fed on any farm. Plant early matur-
ing corn, the earliest and best you
can secure. Corn is the king of mon
ey and feed crops in Missouri, and it
is the best bet yet in the June over
flowed lands for this year.
