However. such privileges as the present building has Captain Griswold and his men are most certainly wei come. Some time within the next few weeks the social committee of the Y M. c.

CONNECTICUT MEN
 FLOCK TO ARMY,
Russians, Italians, Poles and Others
 Among the Latest Recruits. ''

Connecticut men within the military age are f1ocktng to the various army recruiting stations and sub-stad dons in this state for the purpose of enl1sung in the regular army for the period of the war only, according to a report received at the main office at, New Haven. Among the many accepted ap- pHcants are Russians Italians. Poles the young m en. of registration age have decided to join the regular army in stead of running their chances with the draft, which will select 1000 900 men. Once a man has been selected by the draft, it will be impossible for him to enlist in any service or remain in his occupation. He must go where the war department assigns him and that will be to the draft camp, where all will be given military training.
 A new feature of the Registration program is that men. of registration age accepted for enlistment in the army prior to June 5th burt not actual ly enlisted before that date must reg ister.
 With over eO,o0o men enlisted in the army since April 1, it is expected that this number will be doubled during June, for 100 900 men, are still needed to bring the land force within war strength. This number does not in ciude the 200, 900 necessary to bring the National guard up to it's proper strength.
 A TeVleW or the enlSIm enGS mdOe Tn this state during the last few days, since Memorial day, indicates that re- cruiGng is speeding up all over the state and that many young men have decided to do the proper thing. that is, enlist voluntarily and serve their coun- try. With so many splendid oppor- tunities awaiting bright young men in Uncle Sam's land forces at this time, the boys are beginning to wake up to their opportunities. Letters re- ceived from a, number of local boys in the army show that the army pre- sents splendid opportunities for young men who attend to their duties.
 That the young men between the ages of 21 and 31, the draft age. will have to step lively in the matter of selecting their branch in the army oT else face the chances of conscriptfon and become subject to the orders of the war department is indicated in the latest orders from the war department received by Major w. A. Mercer com : nnandant Of the Connecticut district, at his headquarters in the army recruit ing office at New Haven. The order states that registration is no bar to enlistment, but men drafted for the federal army cannot be accepted for enlistment in the regular army. Men of registration age accepted for enlist rnent prior to June 5th but not actually enlisted before that date must be reg iStered.
