War Department will Ask for
Volunteers to Join the
Army Overseas.
VETERANS WAY ENLIST
Those Desiring to See Service Abroad
Will Be Offered Opportunity in
Order to Relieve Men Wish-
ing to Come Home.

Washington, March 31.-The wal.
department has prepared an immedi-
ate call for $4,000 volunteers for ser
vice in Europe.
As an incentive to enlistment, the
men will be offered early duty in
France as a relief for men in the Ex-
peditionary forces who wish to return
home.
Enlistment in this special force will
be for three years. The men will be
concentrated at Camp Meade, Mary
land, and probably will be sent over
seas in contingents of 1000.
Many Veterans Expected.
War department officials expressed
confidence that no trouble would be
experienced in raising the $4,000 men
or an even greater number If it should
be found that additional increments
were necessary. The bulk Of the men
are expected to come from recently
discharged troops, who after a short
vacation" as civilians, desire to re-
turn to army life.
Another incentive expected to have
a decided effect on the recruiting cam
paign is looked for among the men
who, after having been drafted and
trained, were prevented from going
overseas by the PRONUNCIATION of the
armistice. Opportunity to see service
in Germany, it is thought. will lead
many of these to enlist.
Maud IA Trainod AhroaH
A number of officers, probably 10 or
IL, will be sent overseas with each in
crement of 1000 men leaving Camp
Meade. These will be used at the con-
'centration camp to give the training
necessary to whip the men into organ
izations and make the required ex-
aminations. On arrival in Europe they
will take the place Of officers who are
eligible for discharge.

because it is so distinctively Irish and,
second, because she was named after
distinguished Irishman, DR.. Charles
Patrick Baxter, regimental surgeon Of
the 93d Highlanders during the Indian
Mutiny.
Miss Collinge tells an interesting
story of this picturesque old Irishman
whose namesake she is. He served
with the Irish Ambulance Corps in the
Franco War, arriving at the
French town of Chateaudun at most
critical juncturc. The town had been
captured by the Germans and the
French population was being terrorized
by the invaders. A German soldier hal
been shot and it was charged that a
French civilian was responsible The
town authorities had been asked to pay
{. large sum as an indemnity, with the
alternative, of having the town shelled
and totally destroyed if it was not
forthcoming. They were unable to pay
and the people were moving out pre-
paratory to the punitive bombardment
when DR.. Baxter arrived
He was told of the situation and he
asked to see the wounded man. The
latter was mortally hurt. but was un-
attended, the artillery detachment in
H.
geon. DIR. Baxter could see at a
glance that the man had no chance of
recovery, but he asked permission to
operate. He had suspicion that he
might be able to prove who was the
culprit. He did so. The bullet which
he extracted was found to be a German
one, and even the hard headed German

S. L. r. Keeps Talking
About Charlie Chaplin

Six times within the last six months
Samuel Rothapfel has said to us, "Well,
II. T., did you know that Pm think
ing of becoming director and show
ing them how to do it right ?"
And, as the calm Camilla says, "He
said he was going to do it---and then
he did it." That is why there was
something more to talk about than the
Western stars when we called on Mr.
Rothapfcl IS soon as he returned from
California.
"Have you heard the news ?" he asked,
after the blond and beautiful tele-
phone girl in the Paquin gown had al
lowed us to enter the sanctum. "I'm
leaving the Rivoli and the Rialto."
"What for?" said we.
Because" said he.
"a woman's reason" said we.
"Conceded," said he.
"Well >" said we
"Persistent," said he.
"Ycs," said we.

1t isn't that she looks any older, but

"And you are going back into the

"What are you going to do?" we
said.
Well and she carefully speared

So we dashed away to hear Mollie
ing her soldier song. She wore
pink frock with rhinestone corsage
and pink hat with plumes. And they
wouldn't be satisfied until Miss King
finally gave them Smiles" and even
then they wouldn't be until she danced.
There is a little blonde girl on the

so generous that she told us TO be

her for it, for she really meant il.

When she finally joined us ct the
table she wore hat with one thousand

Molie King is only twenty years old!
Of course, being only twenty, this is
not of paramount Importance to her.
One never appreciates being twenty
when one is. II is only after you ar
rive at the &tage where men begin
to say. ingratiatingly, "a woman isn't
attractive until she is thirty that you
realize how nice it was to be twenty.
So Mollie King has ten years to go
yet before she will really appreciate
being What she is.
A Certain party" said to us last
week, "Have you seen the show on
the Century Roof yet?" And, shame
facedly. we answered, mo; not yet, but
soon -
And he said, well, if eventually,
why not now? III give you a party at
the Roof and you may invite any one,
you like, and III invite Mollie King,
sif you'll promise to talk TO her"
Would we? We certainly would.
Why. hadn't we been crazy about Mol
lie Kings work ever since We saw her
at the Palace? And hadn't we seen
her acqut herself creditably on the
screen? Meeting her face to face was
inducement enough without any of the
others.

is this beautiful queen?" and we
looked up to see him holding up pict-

venture. left on Ris desk
