HALF MILLION VOLUNTEERED.
During Three Months Since War with
Germany Was Declared.

Washington, ID. c., June 25.-More
than half million men have volun-
teered in the American army and navy
during the period Of less than three
months THAI has elapsed since the war
was declared to exist.
The army, navy and National Guard
represented an aggregate strength OF lit
tie more than 100000 when the war
resolution was adopted, To-day between
100000 and 100000 are enrolled in the
various branches of the fighting service
and the great majority of them are
armed, equipped and under training.
They will be joined at the end of the
summer by nearly million men, select
ed for the new national army from the
millions registered for war during June
5.
The regular army totalled little
more than 100000 men three months
ago, it is nearing the 250,000 mark to-
day and the war department officials,
backed by the press of the country, are
bending every effort TO bring it up to
100000 during the present week.
President Wilson has designated the
present week as recruiting week for
the regulars. Secretary Baker has sought
the aid of all newspapers to the end
that 10000 men shall be enrolled before
June 80. No explanation of the need
for getting the men by chat time has
been given, but it has been assumed that
it has to do with getting forces to Eu-
rope.
Recruiting officers throughout the
have been instructed 10 advise
with the editors of the newspapers in
their section TO work out ways of stimu.
lating interest.
The Washington government has found
the press eager to aid in making the ma
tion ready for war. With the newspa
pers Of each locality taking up the cam
paign for men as a local matter, the |
filling up Of the ranks on schedule time
is regarded as assured.

THE RESTAURANT ROBBERY.
Waiter Was Forced Into Back Room by
Trio of Men.

Boston, June 25.--0ne of the most dar-
ing holdups in several years took place
in the West End in broad daylight yes
terday afternoon, when trio of men en-
tered the restaurant of Andrew Near
thur, 40 Cambridge street, forced the
only employe present into rear room
and put away with SIS from the cash
drawer.
As far as the police could learn, none
Of the men showed a revolver, although
one threatened to shoot Edward Etle-
son, the employe, if he made any out
cry. The holdup was carried out with
great dispatch, so much so that when
James Walsh, the chef, hearing a COM
motion in the room below, came down
from the upstairs kitchen, he was just
the last of the trio.
Etleson's story is that the men en-.
tered the place when he was alone. All
three Of them went directly to him and
forced him into the back room, where
one stood guard over him, as the other
two gave their attention TO the cash
drawer. The sound of Walsh coming
downstairs caused the third robber TO
fee, after threatening TO shoot Etleson.
Etleson, who lives at 27 Temple street,
and has worked in the restaurant for
four years, said that the men were twice
in the place last Saturday. He noted
them particularly because the last time
they complained of some cake which
was served them, and on leaving said
they would come back again"
Immediately after the affair, Etleson
notified the police, giving the following
description of the robbers: No. l--35
years old, feet inches, $50 pounds,
wearing a dark suit and soft hat No.
2-27 years old, s feet 10 inches, l40
pounds. dark suit No. 3-27 years old,
S feet, 1870 pounds, dark suit and derby
hat.

ARE wACHING COCHI.
For Fear That Self-Confessed Murderer
May Commit Suicide.

Bologna, Italy, June 25.Akredo Cocchi,
self-confessed slayer of Ruth Cruger,
New York high school girl, is being care
fully watched in prison here, as he has
several times expressed the intention of
committing suicide "to finish it ALL" For
this reason he is not allowed to have in
his cell towels, suspenders, bed sheets or
metal knives, forks or spoons His jailers
assert that on one occasion he attempted
to dash his head against the wall, al
though he soon became calm when the
Keepers threatened to put him in a
straightjacket.
His moods vary frequently. Some
times he is so cheerful that he sings,
but he often is plunged into deeper de-
spondeney, with periods of hysteria in
which he expresses the fear that the
Italian government will permit his extra
dition to the United States, where capi-
tai punishment prevails.
