FIRST INFANTRY NEAR
PEACE-TIME STRENGTH
OF 1920 SOLDIERS
Army May Now Pick Men
p as Recruiting Has
Taken Impetus.

The First Infantry regiment, Second
Division, commanded by Col. Edward
A. Shuttleworth now has more than
thousand men in its organization, and
lacks only few more than a hundred
Of having full peace time strength
which is 1120 men. The aim of the
First Infantry is to gain full peace
time strength, which if it does, will BIZ
the first time in several years. The
regiment has several recruiting officers
at work, and one of the most profitable
recruiting sources is the station that is
maintained by the regiment on Alamo
plaza.
The TwenCith Infantry, commanded
by Col. ArtLUr l.. COnger, and tie sis
ter regiment 10 the First Infantry, the
two composing the Fourth Infantry
Brigade, is only a short way behind
Colonel Shuttleworth's regiment, hay
ing $50 men in it. The vacant ranks
of both regiments are fast filling, and
if the present recruiting rate is main
tanned the whole Fourth Infantry Bri-
gade will soon have full peace time
strength.
What pleases the officers of the two
regiments and the brigade is that the
army can now pick and choose, and
does not have TO accept every man that
offers to join the service, hoping that
he will pass the physical examination
According to recruiting officers, ap-
plicants for enlistment were never SO
numerous.
1T can not be the cold weather, "
Lieutenant Bauer, post recruiting Off
Ger at Fort Sam Houston says, NOR is
it that labor conditions are bad, The
army is being brought TO the attention
of the American public by Reserve
Corps activities and training camps in
way that has aroused interest in it as
never before"
Strange as it may seem, the Eighth
Corps Area, with a population smaller
than that of any of the other nine
corp areas, for fourteen consecutive
months led all other corp areas in re-
cruiting, but lost the lead by n single
recruit in December. According to
present indications the Eighth Corps
Area will again take the lead for re.
cruiting when the figures for January
are made known. In December, the
Ninth Corps Area, with headquarters
in San Francisco. Cal, took the lead
by one lone recruit.
As stimulant to recruiting during
the month of February, four cash Plies
of $50 each have been offered to the
enlisted recruiting agents who bring
in the greatest number Of recruits in
the Infantry, Cavalry, Field Artillery
and Corps of Engineers. No one re.
cruiting agent, however, will be per.
mitted to win more than one prize. The
four prizes are being offered by the IL.
fantry, Cavalry and Field Artillery
Journals, and the Army Engineer, an
other army publication.
