The number of 1278 men are still needed hofore the quota'of 2,228 is obtained. In order that the required nurmker may be re- cruited by June 30 a daily average of 71 recruits must be iraintained. Cities ! and towns forming D. Y. B. clubs will ' recelve our hearty co-operation and | advertising matter will be furnished upon application at the stations, These | clubs should be composed of men who are willing to enlist in the regular army and offer then:selves in bodies of |] five, ten, fifteen or twenty or more. Through tha enlistment of these groups not only would the ranks of there would be a spirit of fellowship that woulé Le valuable to the morale of the ‘troops at the front and thus. retain one of the advantafies one has || of enlisting in local, organizations of the national guurd. There are good reasons why the regular army should be filled first and at once. The reg- ular army and the navy form the first line of defense on land and water and it needs no argument to prove that these branches should have the im- mediate and energetic attention of the public. The national guard needs men, of course, but it is important, that the first line of defense be re- cruited to full strength at once. The war department desires it and it is for, the country’s best interest. The regular army’ offers the man, who has determined ‘to do his duty, by enlisting without waiting for the draft, the greatest advantage of going into war or into camp along side vet- erans, who have a perfect knowledge of their business ‘and -under the best trained officers in the world—edu- cated men who have made the study of military tactics their life’s work and who have no superiors in any army. By joining the regular army one will be atonce in the hands of professionals ‘who can and will give the best possible training, the best equipment and the best supsrvision of health. Efficlency is the standard of the regular army and & man, who passes the physical test, will surely receive training that will fit him for. all time. You, who have registered, many of you know that you are going to put 2 gun on your shoulder and defend your country like a man. It is up to you now to decide whether you will wait & few short weeks and be called tot.h'n-.flonu-myndflmnm into n¥W organizations’in new ocamps | of instruction, where you will drill, drill, drill to become & soldier. You all know thiss Why not attdin this title quicker by joining the army now, Wwhile you have a chance and a choice of the branch you desire be it the medical corps, the field artillery, the engineering corps, the cavalry, etc. Your country wants you to begsin training today. Come across and help your state to fill its_quota. Come not alone but bring a friend with you. Wake up! Come across! Form a club and come in bunches. Be one of the D. Y. B.
