RECRUITING FIGURES ARE DISAPPOINTING Give Proof That Voluntser System Would Not Meet Emergency. Washington. May 29.—War depart- ment officlals are pointing to the daily recruiting figures as proof anew that the volunteer system again has broken down in time of national emergency. Yesterday’s regular army recruiting brought in 2,237 men, making a total of 87.518 since April 1. “ Despite the fact that the nation is at war and American regulars are under orders for the fizhting front in France, less than 200,000 men have enlisted since April 1 in the regulars and national guard. The most striking fact in connec- tion with the recruiting rate for the regulars, officers say, is that even the announcement that General Pershing would lead a division to France with- out delay, failed utterly to strmulate enlistment. have ARRESTED FOR IMPERSONATING AN OFFICER OF U.

It is believed there are that many at least in this town who had rather be wents than sents. ‘When the Thirteenth company turns out for the Memorial day exercises to- day mot more than 60 men will be in line, as uniforms and rifles for equip- ping most of the newly enlisted men have not been received here. Captain Withee is well pleased with the manner in which the recruits are gaining in military training methods and e new men are making steady proj . There are those who find it dificult to master some of the de- tails of drill movements, but all are setting along nicely and the Thir- teenth now seems certain to develop into one of the best companies in the Coast Artillery corps. Some of the men do considerable studying along with the regular drills they are taking, for there are recruits in the company who are anxious to gain knowledge of military tactics as rapidly as possible that they may gain promotion, which, in all proba- bility, will be rapid for the men who are qualified to receive it, and pro- motion means more pay and the other advantages that go with rank, grade by grade.

SUSPICIOUS FACTS REPORTED Patroiman Recalls Conditions Bearing on Burglary of Seder Stors, When asked Tuesday afternoon to verity a story that Night Patrolman Regis Bouthilette had reported to him having noticed a suspicious circum- stance at Seders store a week ago Saturday night, Captain Josepn Ryan said Officers Bouthilette had later re- ported to him that a week ago Sat- urday night whue passing Seder’s store he (Bouthilette) happened to no- tice the position of one of the figures in the store. Some time later, after midnight, he again looked in the win- dow, according to his report to the captain, and noted that the position of_the figure had changed. The captain said that Officer Bou- thilette had reported that thiys fact had aroused his suspicions and that he had gone to tne rear of the bullding in which the Seder store is locatea, but found nothing unusual there, the place being dark and quiet. No further in- vestigation was made at the time. The next morning discovery was made that the store had been robbed during the night. It now appears certain that the breaks regularly peing made here may be charged without mistake to the same gang that operated here two or three years ago, some of this gang after- wards being rounded up in Worcester county and sentenced to serve time in Massachusetts. A notorious member of this gang has been seen loitering about Putnam re- cently. Last Saturday night two suspicious looking men were seen by Officer Den- ning and he followed the men, who doaged into Richmond street. The officer followed, but the men disap- peared as if the ground had swailowed them up. He reported the matter, an- ticipating another break, which later occurred at the Seder store. Heard Address by Miss Tebbutt. At the rooms of the chamber of commerce Tuesday evening there was a meeting of members of the town school committee and of representa- tives of manufacturing interests here to listen to an address by Miss M.

Following this conference it is be- lieved that some plan will be worked out for financing the plan of having a nurse here. Parking Space Offered. J. F.
