COMES TODAY IN
 THE NEW WAY TO
 GET RECRUITS
Captain Appleby, Wanting
 Men for the Air Service
 of the U. $. Army, Will Drop in by Airplane

Drop in by Airplane
 Recruiting by airplane, Julius Cea- sar, Hannibal, Napoleon, Wellington and a few other justly famous captions of war would turn over in their graves if they could hear it. Preposterous they would say. But that is just what warfare is coming to.
 Tn the good old days recruiting was quite different, as the shades of any of those old gentlemen could tell if they had chance. Raising an army used to be a comparatiely simple mat . ter, the army commanders going out and rounding up all the men they needed in case not enough volunteered The newest thing in recruiting, now ever is just as different from the old as the great world struggle was from the Thirty Years War. Times change and so do methods. So the latest thing in recruiting, as Phoenix is to see to- day and the rest of this week, is to dc it by airplane
 Recruiting Many Years Ago
 A couple of centuries ago recruiting was simple, though a bore, to be sure His Grace the Duke of Marlborough preparing for another campaign against the French in 1700, would start his re- cruiting campaign by sending detach- ments of his old and tried soldiers out to the country illages of England tC tell the native youth of the glory o1 war. the wondrous sights to be seer abroad and of the rich plunder anC loot one could accumulate. In fact going to war was represented to be the first round on fortunes ladder. So tho native youth would immediately get the fever and join. If they didn't, like as not the volunteer seekers would be- come an informal draft board anC press into serice as many men as they were required to produce Bounties were given and shanghaing often used
 These tactics were the accepted way of raising men. Napoleon used them Frederick the Great employed then l between times of outright conscription every old general raised his army the same way. or had it raised for him But the good old times" are gone They vanished with the advent ot l poison gas, twefty ymile range guns | airplanes and bombs and submarines and mines.

 A'o iipN lht JitN EAd III GGCfulIlDs has come, as a new era has come ir every other thing connected with the gentle art of making war.
