SUMMONS THAT NUMBER TO
coLoRs AS VOLUNTEERS FOR
REGULAR ARMY TO BRING
TITO WAR STRENGTH.
RECRUITING WEEK FROM
JUNE % TO 30 is NAMED
Call includes Unmarried Men Between
Aces Of 10 and 40 Years Who Have
No Dependents and Whose
Pursuits Are Not Vital
to War.

Washington, June %. - President
Wilson has issued proclamation des-
ignating the week of June 1880 as re-
cruiting week for the regular army
and called upon unmarried men with
out dependents to enroll for war SER
vice that the ranks of the regulars
might be filled promptly.
The proclamation follows:
Il hereby designate the period of
June % to June 80 next as recruiting
week for the regular army, and call
upon unmarried men between the ages
of Is and 40 years, who have no de-
pendents and who are not engaged in
pursuits vitality necessary to the prose-
cution Of the war, to present them
selves for enlistment during the week
herein designated to the number of
70,000.-Woodrow Wilson"
Action Asked by Officials.
The Presidents action was taken at
the request of army officials who have
been seriously concerned over the
slow rate of recruiting for the regular
army despite the fact that the War de-
partment's recruiting agencies cover
every section of the country and that
the men are asked to serve only for
the period of the war.
1t had been hoped the regular ser.
vice could be brought to its whole war
strength of approximately 100000 by
June 30, which would have permitted
the War department to carry out its
plan regarding the training of all the
forces and also to the dispatch of ar.
mics to France.
Enrolment 1000 Daily.
For several days, however, the aver.
age enrolment for the army daily has
been little more than 1000 men in
stead of the 5000 or more the depart
ment hoped to obtain.
The latest recruiting bulletin shows
that since April z, 121,363 men have
been enrolled as war volunteers of the
183,89S necessary to bring the service
to war strength. The army, therefore,
is now about 10000 men short of war
strength. and the Presidents call, the
first he has made directly for war vol.
unteers, is designed to fill this gap as
quickly as possible.

CAMPS TO Be READY ON TIME

DELAY IN BUILDING.
Engineer Units Called Out at Once to
Aid In Technical Features Of Work
-Des Moines Site Doubtful.

Washington, June 25.-There will be
no serious delay in construction of the

cred for summoning the first 625, 900
men. Selecting the men, the secretary
indicated, probably will begin early in

President Wilson is understood to
have approved the general scheme
worked out by the War department

notifications are being made and
plans will be completed in q few DAYS.

order made recently, engineer units
of the National guard of Is states will
be mustered into the federal service
Immediately to aid in technical fea-
lures of the work.
At each cantonment, all construction
operations will be under direction of
constructing quartermaster. Seven
of the men designated for these posts
are regular army officers and the other
nine are successful civilian engineers
who have been commissioned as ma
jors in the quartermasters' reserve
corps.
Des Moines Site Doubtful.
Fhe only question as to cantonment
sites that is not finally settled, Mr..
Baker said. involves a possible relo.
cation of the cantonment now assign
ed to Des Moines. Objection has been
raised to the Des Moines location on
the ground that railway facilities are
not adequate and that it will be impos-
sible to provide proper drainage.
Three points have been reopened for
consideration.
