The Second Montana infantry needs
five hundred men to bring it up to
war strength. Volunteers are wanted
now, for within few weeks the draft
will be in operation and the regiment
wants to go on record as being "vol-
unteer" organization.
Sergeant Otto Hoffman and Private
Robert Osland Of Company G., have
been detailed here for recruiting duty.
Other men are carrying. on the work
in all the large cities of the state.
According to Sergeant Hoffman,
the regiment is short from 400 to 500
men. Those who enlist now have the
choice of entering any company they
desire, except the hospital corps and
the band. These have obtained their
full complement. Recruits will also
be accepted for the regular army and
the navy, and all young men who have
the proper amount of backbone and
patriotic spirit are urged to answer
Uncle Sans call for more men.
The age limit in the National
Guard is from 18 to Al years inclus-
i've. All recruits for the Second Mon
tana will be sent to Fort Harrison at
Helena, and those for the regulars to
Denver or Spokane.
The local recruiting office will be
at the Chamber of Commerce and
Agriculture club rooms. All men in.
terested should see Sergeant Hoffman
at once.
Local boys who enlist now will
have the privilege of entering Co. G.
the Glasgow contingent now stationed
at Miles City. Being among friend:
and old acquaintances will be decided
ly better than being thrown among al
sorts of men by the workings of th'
draft law.
That the boys Of Company G ant
other Montana troops will see service
in Russia, is indicated by high Off
Ger in the United States army re
cruiting service. While no dispatche
have been officially received from
Washington containing this informa
tion, officers of the Twentieth division
have received instructions to the eff
feet that they will see some specia
service and that from this, the Off
GERS infer that it will be sent to Rus
sia.
The Twentieth division of tn
United States army includes the ma
tional guard of Oregon, Washington
Idaho, Montana and Wyoming an
such additional regiments and organi
cations as are authorized from thes
states, but are not yet organized.
1t is known that the possibility o
sending troops to bolster up the weak
ening lines on the Russian front, ha
been considered by army officials an
if such division were sent it woul
undoubtedly be equipped with Re
Cross units, and all appurtenance
necessary to active service in tn
field. That transportation across tn
Pacific is immeasurably safer tina
across the submarine infested Atlanti
must also be considered. The follow
ing communication from the Recrui
