VIRGINIA GIVEN MORE
TINE TO FURNISH men
May 5 Placed as Final Date For This
state to Enlist 500 Men For
Naval Service.

In order to permit Virginia to fur
nish the navy her full quota of 500
men, Lieutenant L. S. Stewart. recruit
ing officer here. was yesterday notified
that the date had been extended from
April 20 to May 5. Up to last night
the state had only sent 1877 men to the
first line of the country's defense
other states have furnished recruits in
good numbers. but In order to allow
this state opportunity to do her share,
1t was necessary to extend the time.
This will mean that at least forty
four men will be required to enlist
daily. Unless the men respond in
greater numbers than they have it is
hardly believed that the 500 mark will
be reached, even with the extended
period. The local office, however. is
going to conduct an extensive cam
paign for the men. and nothing will
be left undone to arouse the male
citizens of the state to their RESPONSE

In the opinion OF Mayor james II.

that everybody stand up when the

it was legal or not
