recruiting the regular army to it's full strength through volunteers. If it be- comes law, I think the first effort of patriotic organizations of citizens might well be devoted to stimulating such re- cruiting.
 Tn providing for future ncrements to the army from men between 19 and 25 years old, we are not unheedful of the great mass of patriotic men above the age of p, nor of the women, who are eager to serve the country in it's emer- gency. Everywhere movements to form various sorts of volunteer organizations are under way. The time may come when the services of such citizeris will prove invaluable. Tn positions not directly con nected with but necessary to the conduct and equipment of large army use may be found for many of them. As a mli- tary reserve, an organization of men who by reason of rage, or otherwise, are not immediately needed, pledged to answer any call to service. will prove of great moral value, even if, as is to be hoped, no emergency ever makes their actual call to arms a necessity
 APPROVES PLAN
 "The national committee of patriotic and defense societies in formulating with my hearty approval, plans to unify and encourage these many volunteer efforts. It would be great relief if all offers to serve, other than by joining the regu- larly constituted army, might be ulti- matey presented to the department in some co-ordinated way through com mon channel.
 "The plans, of course, cannot be per- fected or approved until after Congress acts on the army bill. In the meantime 1 would suggest to all individuals and groups who are engaged in or contem- plating the formation of volunteer or ganizatio for national service that it would simplify the problem of this de- partment if they would cooperate with the national committee of patriotic and defensive societies in finding a way for those who wish to pledge their services to the country to organize themselves ST that they can present their offer in the manner most likely to be available and of real help to the government

EASTER SERVICES
 ATLOCAL CHURCHES
 WELL ATTENDED
Appropriate Sermons and Special Music Were Heard at Many Churches
 Yesterday

Notwithstanding the very unreasonable weather large congregations attended the several churches of the city and special Easter services were held at each. Spring blossoms and lilies were used profusely in the church decorations and at many the American flag was in evidence
 At the Church of the Advent the full choral service was used, and in select ing the music for the II o'clock service American composers were given the preference by Director Fred L. Grambs.
 America" was sang as a processional and young chorister carried the Amer ican flag at the head of the choir as they marched into church. The rector, the Rev. M S. Barnwell, preached on the resurrection and administered holy communion to the large congregation that filled the church to it's capacity
 Putting on immortality begins right here and now" said Dr. H. M Edmonds of the Independent Presyterian church in the course of his sermon Easter morn- ing. speaking from the text, This Nor tai Must Put On Immortality
 LIFE HEREAFTER
 No one doubts the verity of the life hereafter, who has really lived" he said We feel that this imperfect picture we paint of life here, we desire with all our hearts to make perfect there where the limitations of mortal life have been over come, eliminated We cannot argue men into a belief in immortality though we present facts and figures to prove our claim for a continuation of life for the soul" '"
 The Easter service was the continuation of week of consideration of the pas sion week" by the congregation of the Independent church services having been held daily throughout the week. Elab- crate decorations of spring blossoms and Easter lilies made the church attractive. Special music was rendered by the choir with offertory by Mrs. Peterson of Philadelphia
 OVERFLOW CONGREGATION
 At St. Paurs Catholic church overflow congregations were the rule at all the services. At the early masses the num- Der of communicants was especially large The reception of holy communion by the several Catholic societies, including the Ladies of Charity. the Holy Name and the Children of Mary, was very impress sive. At the 10:30 mass solemn service was held and the congregation filled every part of the spacious church. La Jaels mass and Lambillatis "Alleluia" at the offertory was sung by the choir The pastor, the Rev. James E. Coyle, preached strong sermon contrasting the briliiaCce and gladness and joy of the Eastertide liturgy with the gloom and sorrow of the services of holy week.
 At the Methodist churches appropriate services were held with a special musical programme at many of them. At the Norwocd church an Easter cantata, "The ChaLe eed Cross'' was given at the even ing service. At the Handley Memorial church the Easter Cantata, '"rhe Resur- fection,' was sung.
 At the Southside Baptist special Eas- ter music was rendered by the choir and at the First Baptist church the morning service was given over to the children. Appropriate services were held at the other churches.

THIRD NEEDS MORE MEN
Ranks of Regiment Have Been De-
pIeted Below War Minimum.

With a young hurricane blowing
and the dust from the roads about the
camp sweeping in clouds over the
tents of the Third Infantry. District
national guard, at Fort Myer, the
guardsmen were reminded today OF
their long and weary months OF bor-
der duty.
Everything was running according
TO routine. Drill, cleaning up, drill,
cleaning up. and so ad finitum. Some
of the men were clad in overcoats, for
the wind was cold, and many who
were excused from drill sought shell
ter in their tents, and stayed as long
as a soldier is allowed to stay in one
place.
The quota of the regiment has been
decreased to below minimum war
strength, something more than 300
men having been discharged since its
return from Texas.
when the regiment returned from
Texas" said Colonel Young this
morning, I'VE had a crack national
guard organization. Today our ranks
are below minimum war strength,
and recruiting at present doesn't hold
forth any brilliant prospect for get
ting the organization to the required
strength"
Several of the men are taking eX-
aminations today at the l. street ar
mOry. for commissions in the regi-
ment, left vacant lately by the resig
nation OF a number Of officers on the
return Of the organization from the
border. The applicants for commits
sions who are not chosen by the Third
Regiment Will be recommended to the
officers in charge Of the training
camp for the officers reserve corps.
