FOR
10000 RECRUITS
FOR NEW ARMY
Men Wanted For Infantry
and Field Artillery by
June 80
TO TRAIN AT ONCE
Loss of Time Will Be Serious
If Men Fail to
Respond
By Associated Press

Washington, June 12.-The War
Department to-day called for seventy
thousand additional recruits in or
der to fill the regular army to war
strength before June 80.
The cavalry, engineers, coast artil-
lery, signal corps and quartermaster
corps of the regular army have al
ready been brought to war strength -
says an official statement. Forty
five thousand recruits are needed at
once to complete the new regiments
OF infantry and field artillery. Twen-
ty-fve thousand additional recruits
are desired at the earliest practicable g
date to fill vacancies in order that
the war strength of 3OO,0 men NAV
be maintained.
Facilities are in readiness for
placing the seventy thousand men
under proper training. Any delay in
obtaining this number will necessar-
lily cause the loss of invaluable time.
1t is the earnest desire of the
War Department that 10000 single
men between the age of IS and 40
who have no dependents and who are
not engaged in professions, bust
nesses or trades vitally necessary to
the prosecution of the war, be en-
listed in the regular army before
the 3Oth of June, 1917"

IPERSHING IS THE
POPULAR IDOL OF
HOUR IN LONDON
English Pleased Immensely
With Americans Whirl-
wind Speed

/ London, June 12.-"Thorough in
every detail of his character" This
is the concise summing up of General
Pershing from a well-known British
army officer who has been In close
contact with the American leader
since his arrival here.
1t is not difficult to see how well
Impressed are all Britons who get a
glimpse of General Pershing. For the
past forty-eight hours he has been
tearing through formalities with an
| energy which, to an Englishman. is
typical of all Americans. They ex-
pect an American to do things with
snap and Pershing seems to fit all the
details of the Englishman's precon-
ceived idea of him.
Sinse he stepped on the quay and
broke the usual formality of a dress
parade by addressing a private in his
guard of honor General Pershing has
been a regular whirlwind. Several
comments are made in the press upon
the manner in which he met the King,
introduced his staff officers and de-
veloped cordial relations with his Mai
esty all within half hour.
Every incident connected with Cen
eral Pershing's presence in London
leads to the conclusion that he is the
| biggest popular idol of the hour.
The privates in General Pershing's
| party had another crowded day. An
| automobile sightseeing tour of Lon
don occupied nearly all the daylight
! hours. The men visited st. Paul's
Cathedral, where they saw the Amer
| lean flags carried there by Ave Cana
dian battalions called American le-
! gions; the Mansion House, where they
were welcomed by the Lord Mayor;
| the Houses of Parliament, the War
| Office, Buckingham Palace and parks
| and museums.
While General Pershing and his
staff were guests of the Earl OF
| Derby, the minister of war, at a
luncheon this afternoon, Lord Den
man escorted the other American
officers through the House of Lords
| A large number of the officers also
found time to visit Kings College
| where they saw the 'intensive"
| teaching of French and other Ian
| guages to British officers
The governments dinner to Cen
eral Pershing and his staff this even
ing at which Premier Lloyd George
will preside, completes the social
program for the party in this coun-
try.

Mistakes Aromred Cable
For "New Kind of Root; :"
Of Go All Wall Lights

Because a workman employed by
FRANK Baumgardner, contractor for
riprapping the river slopes from Ma
clay to Calder streets, believed an
armored cable was "a new kind of
root as he put it, the lights along
Harrisburg's front steps" were out
of service last night.
The workman was digging away
some of the bank at Maclay street
when he struck the cable and cut
through 1t. The current was not on
and the man escaped injury. Mr.
Baumgardner did not discover the
damage until he asked his employe
what he had been doing, and was
shown the root"
The break was spliced to-day by
electricians and the lights will be or
again tonight. The armored cable
was used in preference to conduits
leading to the wall and steps.

IF NOT, CALL A BOY
SCOUT"
That motto will become as popular
in. the windows of the city as the
national flag. Boy Scouts of the city
have already started the distribution
of large circulars appealing for Lib
erty Loan subscriptions.
The upper half of the circular is
intended to be placed in the pur-
chaser's window, while the lower
half contains the blank application.
Boy Scouts will not only deliver the
appeals, solicit subscriptions, but will
also take the forms to any bank des-
lgnated by the purchaser.
The slogan, which formerly was:
Every Scout to feed a soldier" has
been temporarily changed to Every
Scout to save a soldier" The boys
who last week were living up to ev-
cry letter of the motto with hoe and
rake in the thousand garden plots of
the city, this week will lturn their
| entire attention to the saving of a
soldier by assuring plenty of money
TO carry on campaign against prin-
clples that are not in keeping with
the Boy Scout ideals.
Ten million copies of the circular
Will be distributed by the Scouts all
over the country. The job of print
ing the circulars was the most diff
cult proposition ever attempted by
the Public Printer. Since May 25
they have been turned out at a rate
OF 10000 an hour. The distribution
of them will prove almost as gigantic
job as the printing of them, but
nf . h.
equal to the job.
Reports from towns believed to
have reached their full subscriptions
show steadily increasing figures.
This morning Hummelstown, New

will not be available until Friday,
when returns must be sent to Phila-

confident the estimate of $4,000, 900,
made yesterday, was we'll justified.
Men who have been giving almost
all of their time for the last two
weeks to the interest of the Liberty

have been deferring the time of the
purchase of their bonds do so as
soon as possible to expedite the great

HINDENBURG IS
SMASHED AGAIN
ON MILE FRONT
Seven German Field Guns
Are Taken by the
British
LOOK FOR BATTLE
Trencr Raids and Artillery
Fire Prepares Way For
Infantry

London, June 12.-Von Hinden-
burg has been smashed again on the
battlefield that saw his heavy defeat
or Thursday. British infantry of
General Plumer's army stormed Il
whole German trench system, front
line and support trenches, on a mile
front beyond Messines. Besides pris-
oners, the British captured seven
German field guns.
This attack was made in the morn
ing, and after consolidating the new
ground the troops went ahead fur
ther during the day. The new sue
cess was gained near La Poterie
Farm, on the slope west of Warneton,
leading down to the valley of the
Lys, the boundary of France and Bel
gium. Berlin says the British at
tackled the farm itself last evening
in vain.
Heavy Fighting Expected
Though this was the only serious
offensive movement on the whole
western front, there were further in
dlcations that heavy fighting may be
expected north of Lens in the near
future. On the whole front between
Lens and Armentieres British raid
ing parties were out last night, dash
ing into the German trenches and
bringing information back to their
own lines. Raids were carried out
near La Basse, Vermelles and Ar.
mentieres, and Berlin says German
guns stopped other attempts on the
same stretch Of the front. Berllr
reports heavy firing on the Belgian
coast. A bombardment in this sec.
ton was announced by the French
War office last night.
