Officers of both the Ambulance
Company No / and the Engineer COM
pany A, O. y. c., being recruited TO
full war strength in Tulsa report an
increasing interest in their urganiza-
tions since the passage of the con-
scription bin by the national legisla-
ture Yesterday especially proved a
good day for the recruiting officers at
the tents at the corner Of Main and
Fourth. and hundreds who would
rather enter the service Of their own
free will and not be taken into the
army by conscription, gathered about
the tents, signing enlistment papers
and asking questions about the respec-
tive organizations and the service
they are likely to see when called to
the colors.
Lieut.. r. +. Hughes of the engineer
company declared yesterday that he
expected an early call into the service,
as the adjutant general had asked If
the entire company roster could be
depended upon to respond when the
call came. This I believe means we
are going to have chance to get into
service at once" Lieutenant Hughes
declared.

effort TO fill his ambulance company to
fun war strength. hut he is not placing
the morale feature below that Of
strength I'm numbers. and his recruit
ing has been among class especially
well fitted Tor the service they are to
see
/ Tho commander Of the ambulance
/ company believes that his unit will be
one OF the first to be sent abroad. in
the event the United States dispatches
/ troops 10 France, and with this in
| view. efforts are being made TO So
cure as many men educated in the
! French language as possible
Rivalry for OFFICES.
Neither of the two organizations
have had their non-commissioucd Of
/ ficors selected as vet. and there is keen
competition among the men for these
places. 1t Is probable that the tenn
porary selection OF the non-coms will
he made just as soon as orders for en-
trainment are received from the adiu-
tant general which probably will be
before the end OF the present week.
The navy and army recruiting sta
tious were not open yesterday tSuu-

army and Chief Quartormaster Whalen
of the navy expect increased recruit
