RECRUITING PARy
 WILL VISIT THIS DISTRICT
Campaign for Applicants for Enlist ment Will Start Tomorrow; New Mexico and Arizona Towns Will Be Visited.

1 In order that the advantages of the | navy may be brought to the attention
 of the young men of this section of | the United States the navy department has authorized travelling publicity | and recruiting party for the Fl Paso
 district. This party left Fl Paso on
 Thursday of this week and before it's
 tour is completed nearly every city
 and town in New Mexico and Arizona
 will have been visited
 Already several prominent young men of Ell Paso have enlisted in the navy and reports of long lines of men standing in front of the recruiting of fees all over the country indicates
 that the threat of war is having it's
 effect-that the real worthy young
 men are offering themselves to their
 country.
 Chance for Fighting
 Promise of fighting in the uniform of
 the United States has always appeal ed to the young men of the nation } in the past and in this connection it ; may be stated that the men who en- list now, either in the regular army, the navy, the marine corps or the
 national guard will have more chance , of seeing some fighting than those : who enlist later on after the fighting has started. It takes time to train men and those who are in the service when war is declared, provided it is declared, which seems more than likely, will have a shorter training , period than those who enlist later. Two Sections of Tour. The navy recruiting party which will consist of two sections, the first to consist of an advance publicity t man; the second to consist of the recruiting party proper. The advance 3 publicity man will distribute literature T interview public officials with a view l to getting their cooperation, and give g publicity to the fact that the recruit g ing party will arrive in the cities on [ certain dates.
 n When the main recruiting party ar- e rives it will establish offices n a s location previously secured by the ad- : vance man; will interview all eligible d young men who desire information, SC S cure applications and conduct eXanin- > ations.
