The Harrisburg district for army
recruiting, yesterday, smashed Its
record of 1870 men for a single day
and raised it to 179. The district, in
charge of Captain William F. Har-
rell, is the smallest in the State, but
despite this fact is leading Pennsyl-
vania in the number of recruits re-
ceiyed, contributing over forty per
cent. of the entire number.
During the month of April the dis
'trict has enlisted a complete regiment
and more. than 1900 men have been
sent to training camps since Feb
ruarya1. " ~

the office has been opened in this
city. The entire party worked from
early dawn until late in the night
examining and preparing the recruits
to send to training camps. Muhlen-
berg College, Allentown, furnished
nearly half of the men enlisted yes
terday; they arrived on a special train
with seventy other recruits late yes
terday afternoon. There were fifty of
passed and enlisted in. the various
branches of the service. They left
on an early train with over hundred
other recruits this morning.
