Omaha Lad Gives His
Views of the War Front

From Trenton IN. j., paper the
following report was clipped of an
Omaha boys talk on the war before
the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton dinner in that city recently. Carr
Ringwalt, who is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. R. Ringwalt of Omaha, and
is we'll known here:
AT the weekly get-together dinner
If the Central Young Mems Chris
tan association dormitory men last
night, Charles Carr Ringwalt of Oma-
ha, who recently returned from
France, where he served for num-
Der of months in the American ambu-
lance field service, gave some very in
teresting and striking comments on
the war situation as it is today.
"Mr. Ringwalt's service was prin-
cipally in the Verdun and Champagne
districts. He expressed an opinion
that the war would continue for a
long time and it would be wise for
the American people to realize the
seriousness of the situation today
and prepare to make big sacrifices.
HE stated that the French seemed
to be fighting with grim determine
ton to win, although victory might
be a long way off. The morale of the
German prisoners he had seen was
good, and he felt that Mr.. Gerard
was right when he said that the Ger
mans might be licked, but were long
way from beaten. Mr.. Ringwalt feels
that the United States should soon
have representation on the firing line,
especially with the French soldiers,
for they have been fighting for us as
well as themselves and we owe them
much "

Three Service Branches
Use Strand for Recruiting

Working under instructions from
the War department, the army, navy
and marines will maintain recruiting
Offices in the lobby of the Strand the
alter all this week. This arrangement
is because OF the showing during the
week of "Womanhood, the Glory of
Nation" the great preparedness pic
ture made by Vitagraph in conjunc-
ton with the army and navy.
The lobby of the Strand will be
filled with literature, army and navy
equipment, and, in fact, everything in
tended to give the people information
with reference to the various branches
OF the service represented In this
work the government is attempting
to reach a class of people who do not
come in contact with war prepara-
tons and necessities and therefore
know little about it.

RECRUITING RUSH IS ON

\ marked increase in the number
OF war volunteers is expected this
week by recruiting officers as the re-
suit of the passage OF the selectivc
draft bill by congress.
"Now that eligible young men
know that they will be subject TO
draft for war service they are more
apt to volunteer at once in order to
avoid being forced by law to serve"
said Lieutenant Waddell OF the navy.
The week just closed brought in
total of 5S+ recruits in all branches
and raised the grand total to 2,21
since the call for volunteers was
sued the last week in March.
Because OF unfavorable weather Il
weeks recruits were not quite so Ii
merous as those of the previous wee
when 6SS volunteered.
Omaha districts navy recruits las
week exceeded those of Milwaukee,
Detroit, Cincinnati or St. Louis. This
district was exceeded in the middle
west BY those of five cities larger
