were from Adjutant General G.. W.

to assist in forming eight supply
companies for the quartermaster
corps of the National Army. The
men of these companies are TO
be supplied by voluntary enlistmeSS
instead Of through the selective draft.
AS It takes but little whole to en-
list 1000 men through the combined
efforts Of all the recruiting depots in
the United States. those to whom
this branch of the service appeals
are urged to apply for enlistment inn
mediately. All depot and post COM
mandens are ordered to make special
reports of the number of men enlist
edin this branch. which mas the dis
tlnctlon IL being the only volunteer
branch in the National Army
Further important news came to
the recruiting station today, in orders
from the adiutant general to the eff
feet that each recruiting officer in
charge Of a district is authorized to
accept forty recruits for the field ar
tillery Of the United States army. This
branch Of the service, which proved to
be the most popular OF all with the
young men Of this city, was closed to
enlistment over a month ago because
Of the rush Of recruits to that branch.
