APPRECIATES MARLAR'S
 RECRUITING SERVICES

Will Marian, who has been acting as recruiting officer for the merchant marine, recently received the follow ing very complimentary letter coupled with request that he continue to act in the capacity of enrolling of ficer:
 "Boston, Mass, Dec. 4, 1918. "Mr. Will Marian,
 Flagstaff, Arizona.
 "Dear Sir:
 Approaching the results shown by you as Special Enrolling Agent for the Recruiting Service, it is my ear nest desire that you continue to act in the same capacity. Although the war is over, the work of the Recruit ing Service has just begun, and the Shipping Board will need many men. "1 come to you now on account of the excellent type of man which your organization has been sending in the past, and the remarkable work that it has accomplished for us. I feel that l should do everything in my power to keep you in the service.
 May l ask you to consider the fol- lowing plan:
 Enroll recruits, as in the past, for the United States Shipping Board. Send the names to us, and we will file them in the order received from all Enrolling Agents. As we need men, we will call them in the order that the names were received. When you receive a call for a man, send him to a physician of your own choos- ing, and if he passes the physical ex- animation, send him to the training station, as you have in the past.
 "The war caused all to lend every effort toward the same goal. Today, our new merchant marine is of vital importance to all. We need men to operate the ships. To get these men, we want enrolling agents throughout the country. We need you!
 "I hope you will see the need of your further service in this particu- lar work, especially at this time, and that I may receive a favorable reply at an early date.
 "Your truly,
 HENRY HOWARD,
 Director"
