Four Thousand.

Local recruiting headquarters of the
United States Marine Corps in The Star

of the 'four-thousand- by-Saturday-
night" campaign of Marine Corps re-
cruiting week. which officially came to

Tailed eleven men had signed their
names for war service and been sent
away to the several training stations of
the corps for preparation for field serv-
ice. Six of the men enlisted in the reg
ular division, while five went into the
reserve. However. the reseryists were
enlisted for service at the front.
Figures from the recruiting stations
all over the country had not come in
last night to show whether the corps
had reached it's goal. but confidence is
expressed that this branch of the mill

starts after, particularly where it has
to fight for it. obtained its four thou
sand recruits.

As a part of its publicity campaign
for enlistments the Marine Corps is
sending out a new poster in black and
white. which says: BE up-to-date- Be

campaign hat for the modern helmet

The marines who go to the front will
be equipped with this headgear and the
very best of everything else to assist
them to withstand the storm of fire. 1t
is an armored headgear, designed to
protect the fighter from rifle bullets
and shrapnel.
The army recruiting station had a
bad day yesterday. While there were
many inquiries not one man signed up
for service. The big electric sign at
7th street and Pennsylvania avenue last
night was turned on for the first time
in the interest of enlistments for the
army. Your army needs volunteers.

charge of the recruiting tent at 7th
street and Pennsylvania avenue believe
that it will help materially in getting
recruits for the army. The sign is be-

To Make World Safe.

1.-The world must be made safe for
democracy. Its peace must be planted
upon the tested foundations of political
liberty. We have no selfish ends to
serve. We desire no conquest, no do
minion. We seek no indemnities for
ourselves. no material compensation for
the sacrifices we shall freely make. We
are but one of the champions of the
rights of mankind. We shall be salts
fed when those rights have been made
as secure as the faith and the freedom
of nations can make them.
And you will see the feeling toward
Russia with which America has en-
tered the great war in another clause
Of the same address. President Wilson
further declared:
Does not every American feel that
assurance has been added to our hope
