More Than 800 Men
in Milliken Regiment
Recruiting Speeds Up as Draft Approaches
ganization Begins as Postcards Are Sen to
Members to Notify Them Of Election Of Com
missioned Officers

With the approach of the day of
drafting for the big conscript army,
the recruiting of the Milliken regi-
ment Of heavy artillery, the last or
ganization in.which Maine men may
voluntarily enlist, is speeding up and
in the last "a hours the enlistments
have jumped from $50 to 500, CIV
ing promise of full war strength for
the regiment by Saturday of this week.
There is a strong likelihood that the
drafting will be started at the begin
Elng OF next week and for this reason
capt. Balentine, the organizer of the
regiment, along with those who have
assisted him in the organization work,
are bending all their energies towards
the accomplishment of full regiment
during the present week. 1t is the am
bltlon of every member of the regi-
ment as it stands today that 1t shall
go into the service as a volunteer or
sanization with not a single conscript
in its ranks and that is the inspira-
ton which is driving every man to his
best effort in inducing his friends to
come in out of the draft. That is
what is making that of this week the
biggest drive of the campaign.
capt. Balentine was in Augusta yes
tefnay for the purpose of comforting
with Adj. Gen. George Mel. Presson
lie took up with the head of the Ma
tional Guard of Maine the matter of
| organization which he hopes to have
at least started, if not completed, this
week. When this has been done and
the regiment has reached war strength
IL VIII be ready for service. AS soon
as the organization has been completed
the regiment will be subject to the or
der of Adj. Gen. Presson, a recognized
National Guard organization and it
VIII remain as such until called into
| the Federal service.
The Organization
The organization will begin as soon
as the adjutant general has by post
card ordered the men of the various
| batteries to assemble at their home
| stations, there to elect for their in
! dlvldual battery and from among
their battery membership a captain,
two first lieutenants and two second
'lleutenants, one of these being with
the battery combat train. These Off
GERS will have the naming of the reg
lmental field officers which are the
colonel, lieutenant colonel and three
majors. The staff officers will be an
pointed by the colonel.
These officers will, upon orders from
the adjutant general present them
