Recruits Who
Delay Leaving
May Be Rejected

A warning is being issued to the
regular army recruiting service that
there is grave danger that recruits
who delay going to enlistment head
quarters may be too late and may be
rejected
The recruiting service sends out the
warning that the enlistment stations
at Omaha and Fort Logan are becom-
ing so congested with recruits waiting
Tor enlistment that it Is probable that
by the last of next week, when tho
time limit for enlisted men Of registra-
ton age expires, that 1t may not be
possible for the stations to examine and
accept all those who are there. The
recruiting service urges all men Of re-
gistration age, who have been accept.
ed at recruiting stations, to so with
out delay to the enlistment stations
where they are to be sent II they would
be sure Of being accepted.
From all recruiting stations comes
the report that large numbers Of men
are being examined and accepted, but
that they are all waiting until the last
OF this week or the first Nok next week
before leaving for the enlisting centers
Under the usual routine it requires
three or four days from the time a
recruit leaves this city until he is ac-
tually enlisted at Fort Logan. For that
reason the local recruiting STATION has
received instructions to accept no men
after Dec. II. and no men will be ac-
cepted at the enlisting stations after
noon of Dec. Is. Those stations have
instructions to reject all men who can
not be examined and accepted before
the time limit expires.
More than twenty men have been
examined and accepted at the local re-
cruiting station, but none of them was
willing to leave before Friday. and
some do not want to so until next
week. The latter are very likely 40
be rejected, because it will be too late
by the time they wait for their turn
for examination at Omaha and again al
Fort Logan. The Des Moines recruit
ing station reported that ninety-twto
recruits were accepted there Wednes-
day. Omaha is said to be filled with
young men from all Of this recruiting
district who are waiting their turn to
be examined.
