BUT FEW RECRUITS
DODGE WAR SERVICE
General Wickersham Ex-
poets All TO Join ColOrs
in Few Days
entire REGIMENT IN
FEDERAL RANKS SOON

Delaware men have responded
splendidly TO the wish expressed
some time ago that the new recruits
hear in mind the good name Of the
Delaware National Guard, said
Adjutant General Wickersham in an
interview today. One OF the most
remarkable features Of the mobiliza-
lion, which is now practically COM
pleted, General Wickersham said, is
he extrememly small number OF men
who have as yet failed to report TO
their respective commands. In nearly
all Of the companies, only one man,
Or at the most, three men, are still
missing. and these still have a few
days within which to report before
being branded willfully missing.
"A large number of these men" said
General Wickersham, Jumped into an
army truck at a street meeting, at
which enthusiasm had been raised to a
high pitch, and applied for enlistment
in tho excitement Of the moment. The
more credit is due them for sticking
10 it after they had had an opportunity
10 think il over. There are a few
isolated cases Of men who have already
signed their enlistment papers, but whC
have not as yet turned up. l do not
believe, in the light of the. manner II
which all Of the others have, report
ed, that this small handful Of men is in
tending not to report. But If they d.
not do SO within reasonable length
of time we shall send out few detail
TO remind them of their obligations.
Practically the entire regiment Il
now recognized by the War Depart
ment and the entire Second Battalion
has already been mustered in, as hav
many OF the other units. The onl.
unit from which Federal recognition
is still withheld is the headquarter
company, under the command o
Captain j. ID. Bush. and the TELEGRAM
OF recognition from the War Depart
ment is expected for this compan
momentarily. at which time It is be
lieved that Captain d. ID. IA,
