j. S. RECRUITING
CHANGED LITTLE
Threats of War in Europe
Make No Appreciable
Effect on Rolls.

Threats Of war in Europe have had
no appreciable effect on enlhtments
for the military services of the United
States, according to latest figures
available from recruiting omces
throughout the Nation.
The Army, Navy and Marine Corps
are up to strengths authorized BY
Congress and the only recruiting
activity now under way is for the pur-
pose Of making good regular losses
due to deaths, retirement or failure to
re-enlist.
There is no difficulty obtaining SUI
ficient f1rst-class recruits for these
normal requirements, according to the
latest reports, which, however, are not
current for either service, it was ad-
mltted. Army recruiting is carried on
through corps area headquarters and
only monthly reports Of. results reach
Washington. The August reports, Just
beginning to reach here, show no un-
usual trends, it was stated.
In the Navy recruiting is conduct
ed in each naval district, and in some
cases reports may be given only quar-
terly, SO that there is some delay in
obtaining picture of current trends
here unless the situation becomes so
abnormal as to warrant special re-
ports. No such reports have been
received, it was said at the Navy De-
partment, indicating recruiting activi-
ties are normal.
Substantially the same situation pre-
walls as regards the reserve organiza-
tions Of both services. Applications
are handled through the corps areas
and naval districts, with reports reach
ing Washington only at intervals Of
a month or longer. Charts showing
trends in the number Of applications
for reserve appointments so far show
nothing abnormal, it was reported
Some branches of both service re-
serves, notably the military intelli-
gence branches, are up to authorized
limits, and no further applications
are being received, except to provide
necessary requirements, it was said.
There seems to be no unusual
trends either in recruiting or in build
ing up the reserves" 1t was explained
at the War Department. you can
put what Interpretation you like on
the matter. Perhaps it indicates q
belief on the part Of the average
citizen-at least. the average poten-
tial soldier or sailor-that the United
States is not going to become involved
in military way In any trouble
abroad"

Ber- man selected as director Gregory La Cava. who directed the smash hit My Man Godfrey" The action of Stage Door" takes place in a typical New York theatrical board ing house. in a smart night club, in the offices of a Broadway pro- ducer, in the palatial home of society leader, and in a New York theater on the opening night of a show.
