nent officials are pointing to the daily
recruiting figures as proof anew that
the volunteer system again has broken
down in time of national emergency.
Regular army recruiting in one day

Illinois was first with 800 men and
New York second with 295. But army
officers declare that a great drive for

thorized regiments. These, Of course,

Less Than 100000 Enlisted.
Despite the fact that the nation il
ut war and American regulars are un.
der orders for the fighting front in
France, less than 100000 men have en-
listed since April 1, in the regulars
and national guard. .
The present rate OF enlistment -

ordered, should total 100000. In ad-
