PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION
Names June 1880 For Men to Join
Army--Unmarried Males From
10 to 40 Are Urged to Enroll.

Washington.-Pres Wilson is
sued a proclamation designating the
week of June 1880 as recruiting week
for the. regular army and called upon
unmarried men without dependents
to enroll for war service in order that
the ranks of the regulars might be
filed promptly.
proclamation by the President:
I hereby designate the period of June
1880 next, as recruiting week for the
regular army and call upon unmarried
men between the ages of 18 and 40
years, who have no dependents and
who are not engaged in pursuits vital
ly necessary to the prosecution of the
war, to present themselves for enlist
ment during the week herein designat-
ed, to the number of 10000.
Woodrow Wilson"
The Presidents action was taken at
the request of army officials, who have
been concerned seriously over the
slow rate of recruiting for the regular
army despite the fact that the war
departments recruiting agencies cover
every section of the country and that
men are asked to serve only for the
period of the war. 1t had been hoped
that the regular service could be
brought to it's whole war strength or
approximately 100000 men by June 80,
which would have permitted the war
department to carry out it's plans in
regard to the training of all the forces
to be raised, and also as to the dis
patch of armies to France. For sew
eral days, however, the average en-
rollment for the army per day has
been little more than 1000 men in.
stead of 5000 or more the department
hoped to secure.

tration from July to July Is through

the state defense councils. Mr.. Hoo
yer is proceeding at the direction OF
President Wilson, who, without wait
ing for Congress to enact the Admin
istration food bills, directed him to
proceed with the organization of the
food administration in so far as it con-
templates assembling volunteer effort.
GAS requested by the President"
says his statement, 1--WE ask every
woman in the United States engaged
in the personal control of food to reg
lister for actual membership in the
food administration, thus entering d.
rectly into the national service. We
shall later on ask various classes of
men, likewise engaged in food prepar-
alton and in the distribution of food,
to also volunteer to the national serv-
ice in their various branches. We
must enter a period of sacrifice for our
country and for democracy. Many
must go into battle, but many can only
remain at home"

fields for commercial effort by American
exporters, yet the great Oriental repub.

chased only one.seventh the amount Of

More American Products Sold in 1916

More American goods were sold to the
West Indies in 1916 than to the entire
continent of South America, says re-
