soldier to spend his leisure time?'
am writing this letter here in the

free of charge. We have reading
material of all kinds, victrOlas, pianos

men here now, and more are expect
ed. 1t is a wonderful sight to see
that many college men in a bunch.
The big problem for the " is to keep
this splendid body of men clean. Not
long ago a regiment of regulars were
encamped here. AS you know, there
is that undesirable class of women

ARMY DRIVE STARTS
PRESIDENT WANTS 10000 voLUN.
TIERS THIS WEEK.
Men Are Needed to Fill Ranks of the
Regular Army Before Draft
Begins.

Washington, June 25.-Ten thousand
men day for week.
That is the program launched by
the army today TO bring the regulars
to war strength, 100000. The coun-
try is being combed for volunteers. 1t
is the last chance men will have to
join the colors of their own accord.
Fridays figures showed the small
est number of recruits since the war
began. Only I'll men joined the army,
bringing the total since April To 124,-
034.
The presidents proclamation calls
for men between the ages of eighteen
and forty years, but the war depart
ment has officially announced younger
recruits will be given preference.
As an inducement to men twenty
one to thirty years old who registered
under the draft act the opportunity
of immediate training and early act
i've service Is offered. All of the regu-
lar army not needed for training pur-
poses will be placed in foreign service
before the National Guard is sent
away.
Secretary of War Baker has made
the following appeal to the newspa-
perS:
Il am relying confidently on the pa
trintism of the press in this emergency
and know the newspapers will COOP
crate fully with the recruiting service
throughout the week to make recruit
ing week another splendid demonstra-
ton OF the patriotism of the country"
June 30 is the last day on which en-
listments will count toward the states
quota of men to be drafted, Provost
Marshal Crowder has notified the gov
errors.
This indicates the draft selections
will begin soon after July /. At the
same time the drive will be started TO
recruit the National Guard TO war
strength. Tie National Guard will
have been absorbed by the regular
army by August 10, The militia au-
thorities have been directed TO report
as soon after the close of recruiting
week as possible.

ALL IOWA TROOPS
WILL BE UNDER ARMS BY FIF-
TENTH OF JULY.

Iowa's entire national guard will
July Is. according to present orders
from the federal government, and
indications are that they will see ser
vice in France before crops are plant
ed next spring
Already one regiment of Iowa
guard is in the federal service, and
the one Iowa company of engineers
fully organized, Company b of
Iowa City, has also been called into
federal service.
1t is probable that the entire ma.
tiOnal guard of the state will see ac-
tive service for several months in
the United States prior to being sent
to Europe. The guard will replace
the regular army units as fast as
they are sent to France, and
Iowa troops may be. stationed on the
border for the winter.
Whether Iowa militiamen will be
permitted to continue their occupa-
tions in civil life after they are mo-
bilized at their home stations next
month has not been announced.
: If the government decides to leave
the men within the borders of the
state an effort will be made to per-
nit the men to aid in crop produc-
ton at least.
1t is probable, however, that the
men will be put under intensive train
ing by the fedral government at
once.
The Iowa guard is now practically
at war strength, and additional units
will probably be authorized as fast
as those already in existence complete
their quota.
lowa's regiment of artillery will
soon be fully organized. A head
quarters and supply company are
being formed at Davenport and the
batteries are up to full strength.
A recommendation has been made
to Governor Harding for the appoint
ment of a colonel for the regiment.
The man decided upon is a major in
the regular army, and his name will
not be announced until it is sure that
his transfer to the Iowa regiment
will be approved by the war depart
ment. NEsl
