Minnesota Making
EnDiable Record in
Army Enlistments

Minnesota can answer all charges
of disloyalty and point with pride to
the record established by the Mime
sofa Recruiting District during the
month of April. In the thirty day
period HOB men were accepted for
service in various branches of the
Army. Previous to last month,
February was the banner month with
record of 900 accepted recruits for
the Army. The increase is due, Ma
jor ]. D. Yost, Recruiting Officer for
the District says, ito hard, untiring
work by recruiting committees, to the
wide publicity given the needs and
demands of the Army by the news
papers of the state, and to the CO.
operation of the authorities in the
Enlist or Work campaign"
Major Yost does not propose how
ever, to let the District rest on it's
laurels, and is planning to make the
recruit drive this month more
strenuous than ever. He will not be.
content, according to his statement,
until the Minnesota District estab-
fishes itself at the head of the 65 Re-
cruiting Districts in the country and
maintains that position. The April
record will come close to putting it
there. The goal for May has been set
at 1,250 men. This figure will keep
every recruiting officer in the state
working overtime, and keep the Re
cruiting Committees on the jump
every minute of the time to secure
their district quota.
The Enlist or Work" campaign is
just hitting its stride and is expected
to show some real results this month.
The Governor has designated the last
two weeks of the month as loyalty
weeks, for the "Big Spring Offensive
Against Kaiserism." Several veterans
from General Pershing's forces who
recently arrived in New York, after
almost year of service in France
will be in the state, and will speak
at numerous loyalty meetings. Their
presence should stir the fighting blood
in every man in the state. Extending
of credits to high school boys who 60
into the service at this time, will
bring number of recruits who will
come under the next draft. 1t is ex-
pected Congress will fix the date for
the registration of all men who have
attained the age of 81 since last June,
in very short time.
