comes to Americas as a great Ameri-
can-the running mate of Woodrow
Wilson in two whirIwind campaigns.
Thomas Riley Marshall was born in
North Manchester, Ind, on March 14th,
1854. You see his two inauguration3
lacked only ten days in the first in
stance, and nine days this year of be-
ing birthday presents. He married
Miss Lois |. Kimsey, of Angola, Ind.
on October 2, 1895 The vice-presi-
dent is lawyer, and was admitted
to the bar in 1875, and practiced first
IN Columbia City, Ind which has been
his home since then. He was elected
governor of Indiana in 1909 and served
until 1913, when he was chosen vice
president and will serve until 1921, be-
ing the fifth vice president in the
history of the country to be reelected.
Mr. Marshall is a Presbyterian, and
50 is his chieftain, Mr.. Wilson. These
facts should partially suffice as
pedigree for the great man whom you
will hear tonight.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 14-The Irish
of Atlanta, and they are many, are
planning all sorts of interesting stunts
including banquets, parades and dances
in honor of St Patrick's Day on March
18th. Because of the wartime priv2-
tions that afflict Ireland, and the SUI
fering of the Irish patriots in the Dub
lin riots, patriotism and love of the
Emerald Isle are even more markedly
expressed than in normal times, and a
greater interest is being shown in St

RECRUITING ARMY
OFFICER IS HERE

Recruiting officer John F. McCarty,
of the United States army, is in Amer
icus. and he will be here until March
31st. He is armed with all informa-
ton concerning the army and inquir-
les will find him either at the Sumter
Hotel or the postoffice here.
Those who are interested in prepa"-
edness can render no more effective
service. at present, than by using
their utmost influence to recruit the
regular army to the strength author
lied by law Do not overlook the
fact that the regular army, as well as
a volunteer army is composed of vo'-
unteers, and that both form part OF
the army of the United States. The
regular army is already organized, but
needs additional men now A volun-
teer army, in addition to the regular
army, can be organized only under
special authority of congress and IS
not in existence at present. Under the
laws in force the conditions of service
as to term of enlistment and opportun-
ity for return to civil life after ser
vice with the colors are practically
equal in the regular army and in a
volunteer army.
The regular soldier serves three
years with the colOrs and is then emit
tied to a furlough to the reserve,
which relieves him of further active
service in time of peace. He is also
eligible in time of peace to be fur
Laughed to the reserve after one year $
service with the cOlors, if he is re-
ported by his immediate commander as
proficient and sufficiently trained. and
is serving within the continental linn
its of the United States. Thus, under
normal conditions, the maximum SER
vice with the colors in the regular ar
my, at the option of the soldier, IS
three years, and the minimum service
with the colors is one year. Under
the law, the term of enlistment of the
volunteer" is three years, but these
volunteers will be mustered out in a
less time, if peace is restored, or the
menace of war ceases. 1t is unlikely
that the minimum time of service with
the colors will be less than year A
man who enlis,s in the regular army
is Immediately placed in training UNI
der competent instructors and under
officers who know how to care for
him and how to teach him his military
