Recruiting to Continue.

After National Guard organizations
leave their home stations and go to the
divisional training camp. recruiting will
still continue. However. applicants car
be guaranteed only the fact that they
VIII be sent 20 the National Guard OF
the state which they have selected. Ii
cannot be guaranteed that they will &C
to particular organization in the Ma
tional Guard of that state. Therefore
men having a choice as to which or
ganization they shall enter should APP
ply for enlistment at once il they de-
sire to go into the National Guard. This
is imperative and too much stress can
not be laid upon it.
Due to the fact that the incorrect
impression exists that recruiting for
the National Guard has ceased, Ma
tional Guard enlistments have fallen
off. 1t is the desire to correct this i'm
preston at once. There are many va
cancies in nearly all of the Nationa1
Guard organizations of Maryland, Della
ware and the District of Columbia tina,
should be filled by volunteer enlist
ments Immediately. Applicants should
apply either to the headquarters of the
organizations themselves or to any
Regular Army recruiting station
A drive is now being made through
western Maryland by the Regular Army
recruiting officers in an attempt to cor
rect the impression that recruiting foI
the National Guard has ceased.
Many men are still needed for the
Regular Army in the following
branches: Infantry. medical depart
ment field artillery, aviation section OF
the Signal Corps and bakery units OF
the quartermaster department. The
Regular Army recruiting station for
this district broke all records during
the month of July. in that a larger
number of recruits were secured in
this territory than during any other
like period. and during that period
Delaware was placed on the starred
list of states as having secured its
quota. However, this does not stop re-

Tone of Discouraged Defiance.

The most comprehensive presentation
OF press opinion is given by the Ham
burger Fremdenblat- 1t criticises the
delay in appearance OF the semi-of-
1cial statement which, the newspaper
says. was neither adroit nor forceful,
betrays the embarrassment of the writ
er and adopts tone of discouraged de-
AAnce.
The Fremdenblat is inclined to ques-
ton the veracity of the assertion made
" the Nord Deutsche AllgeTneine
xeitung that the document was not a
eefegram. saying that if Ambassador
Gerard really characterized mere notes
1otted down to assist his memory as
formal telegram from the emperor II
would undoubtedly be incorrect. but
adding that the semi-official newspaper
does not question that the ideas were
The emperor's.

explanation of the Nord Deutsche All

faise German prestige and admonishes

changing the program for "Liber. Y

in the lineup the parade would appear
more solemn than joyously attractive,
Also, it is understood tina perhaps
more remunerative accomplishments
may be obtained if everyone worked.

Upon the suggestion of Chairman c.
H. Walker, the committee will divide
up the day into six districts and each
member will personally superintend
both arrangements for four-minute
speakers, who will explain i'll detail the
importance of the issue and mode Of
purchase. and also endeavor to sIimu-
late sales.

attended by Geo. H. Smith, district
