viii Push the Campaign for Re-
cruitc.

Washington, July Recruiting

its climax on the concluding day. Sat
urday, when more than 1000 men
were accepted; but the army still is
$4,000 men short of full war strength
Officials are not discouraged Fhe
campaign for recruits will be pressed
steadily and brigadier General Nc
Main, general OF the army and in
charge Of recruiting, said today he
hoped there would be no necessity to
resort to the 9electyc drfta to fill up.
I'VE are short $4,000 men Of the
100000" General Mccain said
we did not get the 1900 men we
wanted but we got 10000 Of them and
are army is in pretty good fighting
shape
There is one thing that-ouekt not
to be overlooked. We have been forced
to turn away many men who desired
to enlist in the cavalry, coast artillery,
field artillery, engineers, hospital
corps, signal corps and other special
arms. There are no vacancies except in
the infantry The other regiments are
now at full war strength and the in
fantry is well filed even with the
shortage. The fact that men could
be given no choice of service, how
ever complexities the situation and
makes it necessary TO let many desira-
bles go"

"The Woodmen of the World has
always been and always will be a pa

Of our society in entering the Forest

refuse to salute that emblem of in
