JUNE q TO 80
FOR RECRUITING
Presidents Proclamation Issued al
Reunion of Army Officials Who
Are Seriously Concerned Over
Rate OF Recruiting.

Washington, June 20.-President
Wilson issued a proclamation today
designating the week of June 1880 as
recruiting week for the regular army,
and called upon unmarried men with
out dependents to enroll for war SER
vice in order that the ranks of the
regulars might be filled promptly.
The proclamation follows:
Proclamation by the President
Il hereby designate the period Of
June 30 to June 80 net as recruiting
week for the regular army and call up
on unmarried men between the ages
OF Is and 40 years who have no de-
pursuits vilally necessary to the prose-
cution of the war, to present them
selves for enlistment during the week
herein designated to the number Of
10000.
(Signed) "WOODROW WILSON,
The presidents action was taken at
the request Of army officials who have
been seriously concerned over the slow
rate of recruiting for the regular army
despite the fact that the war depart
ments recruiting agencies cover every
section of the country and that the
men are asked to serve only fer the pc
Rod of the war. 1t had been hoped
hat the regular service could be
brought to its whole war strength Of
approximately 800 600 men by June SO,
which would have permitted HE war
department to carry out its plans in re-
gard to training of all tie forces to
be raised and also as . the dispGjch
of armies to France.
For severa! days the average enroll
acnt for the army per day has been
little more than 1000 mon instead Of
the 1000 or more the department hop
ed to secure.
Today's recruiting bulletin shows
that since April /, 121 ,363 men have
been enrolled as war volunteers of he
1S3,S9S necessary to bring the service
to war strength The army therefore
is now in the neighborhood of 10000
men short of war strength, and the
presidents call, the first he has made
directly fer var volunteers. is design
ed to fiji in this gap as quickly as pos
sible.
