MORE MEN WANTED
Recruiting Reported to be Falling off
ut the Local Recruiting Station
Captain Johnson Makes an Appeal

The Alexandria Light Infantry re-
cruiting squad is still working hard
to induce the young men of Alexan-
dria to enlist but the numbers OF
enlistments have fallen off. Yester-
day only two applicants were passed
by the surgeon, three being rejected
for physical reasons. These two brings
the total number received since the
campaign started up to 81.
Captain Johnson decided last night
to close the Office which he has main
tanned at the rooms of the Chamber
Of Commerce and use the recruiting
squad at the Armory Hall exclusively
This was necessary owing to the
few men he is allowed, for the WORK
and because of having several men
out in Alexandria and Fairfax coun-
ties, leaving him only two or three
men for the local work.
Captain Johnson told the Gaz"I1e
representative he knew that quite a
number of young men here in the city
were waiting for the company to get
orders before they enlisted. He asks
that the Gazette appeal to these
Young men to ENLIST NOW, other
wise they might be compelled to JOIN
some other company. Remember
"He who hcsitates is lost" so quit
hesitating and do your DUTY by en-
listing now.

Evidence that German propaganda

content with the government program
In some cases households have stored
up sufficient quantities of the COM
modities for a years use.
The Food Administration announces
that there is no actual shortage in
either salt, matches, or laundry blue;
that the national stock is as large as
ever, with no possibility of shortage
with a normal demand on the part OF
the consumer. and that rumors Of any
such shortage can be attributed only
to German agents.
The drive on salt in the present in
