Captain F. E. Withee of the Thir- teenth company. c. A. C., reiterated on Wednesday his appeal for some form of public effort or demonstration that will help arouse sufficient enthusiasm to stimulate recruiting for Danielson' s military organization. This week the recruiting has fallen flat, and this in the face of the fact that Captain Wi thee has orders to discharge from service the 21 married men now in the company. Only two men have ap- piled for enlistment this week, the fervor of two weeks ago, when nearly 40 recruits were secured, dying down almost to zero.
 meetings and patriotic parades are be- it is Captain Witness idea that some thing of the kind should be done in Danielson. His appeal drected for the aid of their country. This sug- geston has been made repeatedly dur ing the past few days, but as yet has brought nc action, and Danielson as a result is falling behind in Conecticut's preparedess procession.
 The discharge of the married men will reduce the company to between 75 and 80 members, and Captain Wi- thee is desirous of getting at least 35 recruits, for there may be other dis charges from the company on account of physical disability and for other reasons.
 The situation here is such that some extraordinary means must be taken to get recruits, for at present all men of the classes wanted are indulG- ing in period of watchful waiting
