sconsumed during March wa: _ ARMY OF 1,000,000 WLLTAKE YEAR ~ SWEBY ADRAT Although Recruiting Here Has Jumped 200 Per Cent., Con- scription Is Necessary. Reoruiting for the regular army has increased 200 per cont. since April 6, but, if the present system were all Passed to Fort Slocum: April 7, 71; April 9, 103; April 10, 104; April 11, 83; April 12, 87; April 18, 62, These figures are by no means dis- couraging to the recruiting officers. ‘They show that some’ young men In New York aro really interested in their country. They show a tremen- dous gain over the normal recruiting of last month, which gathered in 660 during twenty-six recruiting days. At the present rate, New York's total for the month of April would be approximately 1,600 men. If all the recruiting districts throughout the country have maintained the Now York average, nothing to boast of, the United States army is prob- ably being strengthened 6,000 men every day or approximately 86,000 a week. Recruiting officials figure that New York should send to Fort Slo- cum not less than 800 men every twenty-four hours. The upper east and west side is doing better than any part of the clty. “The recruiting has shown us a lot of new twists,” said Major Hughes to-day. “Not the least interesting is this: That the old tradition of men going away from home to enlist has been completely shattered. The city districts turning out the largest num- ber of recruits are those where the applicants HMve one or two blocks away from the stations, They went directly from their homes to the re- crulting offices” passe S| SSE THE DEAD PAST AGAIN, Here, just as'the Colonel starts getting his old friends back, Gen, Reyes announces that he dis- covered the River of Doubt years before the Colonel did, emenbnipeonmane Cotton Consumed = March, April 14.—Cotton 602,280 402,230 D WASHINGTON, running bales, ths ending and for th rn March 381, 4,517,096 bales, the Census Bureau to-day an- nounced.

To set an example to women throughout the United States, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the President; Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall, wife of the Vice President, and the wives of members of the Cabinet have agreed sible, to abolish luxurious entertaining and to practice country is in a state of war. Informally, they have asked the housewives of the United States to mobilize with them for the conserva- tion of foodstuffs, was issued only yesterday, women all over the United States have answered it. Captains of widely different and conflicting movements in which women are inter- ested declare that this movement for conservation of household resources {s one in which women of all sorts of opinion can unite. As soon as announcement of Mrs, Wilson’s campaign of conservation was made, Mrs. Ernest Poole, the newly elected President of the Women's City Club, announced her intention of calling upon its 1,800 members to unite in the promotion of simpler standards of living. “Speaking as an individual I am most heartily in favor of this move- ment,” Mra, Poole told me. The prac- tice of economy in foodstuffs, the wearing of simple clothes, the lessen- ing of luxury in entertainment, seem to constitute an immediate duty on which all women can unite, And if women practise this duty men will be heartened for the special burdens war may lay upon them. I am speaking now for myself, but I shall call the attention of the Women's City Club membership to this simple service which it is in the power of every pa- triotio woman to render.” Mrs, Poole smiled a sudden smile which flooded her serene gray eyes with light. and so, if we are to have food enough and Europe, we shall constructive p mple, everyday household To-day to be extrava- gant is to be unpatriotic.” POISON AND REVOLVER END THEIR ROMANCE Girl Tries to Die and Her Brother Is Sought on Charge of Shoot- ing Her Betrothed, Angelino Polino of No, 109 Colum- bia Street, Brooklyn, is twenty and very pretty, Her sweetheart, Sabato | foods at home and I think it would | during “I have already got out my last year’s clothes and planned how to make them over, Haven't you?” she asked. “m weartng a last year’s sult,” I answered, and Mrs. Poole continued: “phe simplification of living in times like these seems as much & matter of good taste as of patriotic duty.

Hating after the play is surely an unnecessary waste of food which will be needed later on in this country and which Europe needs to- day. “If we are to have food enough for ourselves and Europe we will have to come to every possible form of household economy sooner or later. {How much wiser to adopt them at once, The immedi..te duty of every woman is, I think, to plan now to reduce her household and personal ex- penses to a minimum.

Angelina's half-brother, Angelo More- nose, twenty-four years old, stepped out of his little stationery shop at No, 111 Columbia Street and held him up. “Why won't you marry my sis- ter?” he asked, again and agai growing angrier each time. Sabato replied by asking for @ loan of $50. The men e scowling, Angelina came down the stairs and joined in the talk. Sabato stood out for his $50, Angelo asked, “Am I a millionaire, to lend you $50?" Sabato shrugged his shoulders to show that words were useless, Angelina drank a vial of bichloride of mercury she had hid in her shawl, uttetred a shriek and fell unconscious. Angelo, so the police say, drew his revolver and shot Sabato through the chest. He dropped unconscious beside his betrothed, The two were taken to the Long T#land College Hospital, where the loctors say they will both die, Search 1s on for Angelo, | FORBIDDEN TO PIRATE NEWS, Judge Hi Puts tn Effect In; top Agatnat Hearst Service.

The Marine Corps recruiting station, like the naval depots, is so crowded with women with missing husbands, and relatives seeking lost ones, that there is serious talk of the two branches of the service opening a “Domestic Station” to handle the “Lost and Found” business.

Copyrigh, 1911, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York EveningWorld.) shouldn’ You "t confuse a slacker with a slicker.

He drags hicks away from their there are some pretty slick slackers, The slickest of these slackers is the sleek slacker who tries to win the war on echoes. When the volunteers | are ankling away to the front he is the laryngeal patriot who cheers the echolest. If he can't be a hero he will be a cheero, But don’t think the slacker is absolutely hollow under the vest. While others are offering their lives for their country he is there with the sacri~ fioe stuff himself. The slacker is perfectly willing to die of old age for his country. Yea bo, Too much critictsm has been almed at the slacker who gets married to avoid conscription. The critics claim he is hiding behind a woman's ekirt, If there is any skirt in New York that contains enough material for a man to hide behind, we want to see it. Of course, we want to see the other kind, too, A man has about as much chance of concealing him- self behind a modern skirt as an elephant has of getting all four feet on one dime, Mahara Desert in order to avoid sand.

Then there is the tango slacker who would enlist if war didn’t cut into his afternoons so much, There is the Ostermoor hound who has the mat-— tress fever and would willingly act as chauffeur to a musket if the battles didn’t start before noon. When you consider those two, you realize that two deuces aren't the smallest pair in the deck. Going back to the marriage slacker, remember that in war the fighting stops for meals, In marriage it never stops. The only furlough you get in marriage is when they puta ten-ton paper weight on your vest and friend wife breaks out into kaleidoscopic mourning, However, peace hath her slackers as well as war, There is the coin @lacker, who borrows fifty and then declares an individual moratorium for twenty years, There is the harmony slacker who sings “I Hear You Call- ing Me” at midnight in more keys than a janitor carries, The stamp slacker, who has everything necessary to mall a letter except the stamp. ‘The telephone slacker, who reverses the telephone charge on you.
