 ABOUT 1900 MEN WERE RECRUITED THIS WEEK Captain Hutchinson Believes There Is Going to Be Another Draft Law
 Enacted Providing for Ad-
 ditional Conscription

 Two telegrams of interest to all mer were received last night by the local re- cruiting office. The first one reads: Suggest to registrant applicants inter ested who apply too late for voluntary enlistment to write direct to Volunteer Department, 119 D street, N, w, Wash ington, D. C., for information regarding selection for air service"
 The second telegram, which was re- ceived just before the office closed foI the night, reads as follows;
 .Fifteen thousand men needed at once Tor the United States guards for pro- tecting public institutions in the United tsting emergency. Men enlisted must be beyond draft age. Enlistment of mar ried men authorized, enlistment papers to be marked United States guards, na- tional army Secure all men of former service in Spanish-American, Philippine, Boxer campaigns, army, navy or ma rine corps, and men with experience Tn well organized fire and police depart ments. Where practical they will serve In vicinity of their homes. Confer with department commanders as to where re- crfits will be sent. Daily reports by wire to adjutant general as to number enlisted"
 CHANGE FOR ALL MEN
 Out of the death of the old was born the new. and now although registrants will not be accepted in the regular or der of recruiting there is yet chance for men of exceptional ability and training to enter the aviation service voluntarily by adopting the plan outlined above ln the first telegram.
 1t is expected that the second telegram will appeal to the men who were physi- cally unfit for the service upon for- eign territory, but who wish to enter the service. It is understood that these men will not be furnished with the reg ular equipment of the soldiers for foreign service but will be supplied with that similar to the kind used by the Ameri- can army before entering the struggle, the principal difference being in the rifles. The pay will probably core spond to that of the regular army.
 Cant. James E. Hutchinson stated last night that in his opinion there would soon be another draft law en- acted providing for additional con scription. There has been no offic1ai statement to this effect made, how ever
 ~ < ,,-~eximateIy 1900 men have been enlisted at the Birmingham office since the notice was made that no men whose names appeared upon the draft lists would be accepted after December Is. One hundred and ninty-four men were sent out from this office yester- day; POS were sent Thursday, 205 were sent Wednesday, S1 were sent Tues day and correspondingly large num- bers left on the preceding days.
