This isn't pleasant reading for Yer

the army the expected quota of re-

be out Of place to again suggest in
explanation the fact that no real at,
tempt has been made to get men to
enlist. There is no stronger advocate
than The Sun itself for aggressive re-
eruiting drives More real splurge is
made in New York in five minutes on
any day OF the week than has been
made in all Vermont ever since the
war started and New YOrk's quota is
still untitled The army simply has
not tried TO get men, has not gone
after them. And there is this to re-

more men per capita than any other

are many communities where no re-
cruiting officer has ever been, where
the service has not been personally
brought to the attention Of the young
men who certainly would respond ii

them. When the army does its share
by trying to get Nermonters to enlist
and fails in the attempt, then will
there be ground for real complaint
