Gen, Pershing found in his mail numerous requests from Americans serving in armies of the Allies to be transferred to the American Army in France. Many Amerioan civilians in France have made application to en- list or for commissions, The General ts guided strictly by the War Department's decision not to jrequest the transfer of Americans from the Forelgn Legion or from the English or Canadian armies except for work in the American Army as instructors or in other specialized ca- pacities. Consequently most of the Americans now serving with other armies will remain with them. Gen. Pershing motored to French General Headquarters took lunch with Gen.

But the plan adopted by many large corporations of taking a large block of bonds and parcelling them out to employees on the instalment plan of payment recruited a large number of buyers, If the number of subscribers runs over three millions, it will be due chiefly to this system and to the in- dustrious working of volunteer com- mittees in the cities. The lar industrial centres were far more patriotic in finance than the agricultural regions. Naturally their subscriptions were mucn larger, but in the allotted proportions based en banking resources, some of the interior cities fell short of the stan. dard set.

Many envious looks at the sturdy boys in the ranks were cast by youths of their own age along the sidewalk. 4 At Fourteenth Street the marchers turned east to Union Square, where they passed in review before a large number of army, navy and militia officers, who occupied a stand in front of the bow of the land battle- ship “Recruit.” The greatest ap- Plause all along the line was be- stowed on seventy-two young men, still in civilian attire, who brought up the rear of the parade. Though they had been drilled but two hours they made a most creditable appearance. The parade halted here for a brief ' period to permit Chaplain John A. Wade of the Police Department te address the new recruits. Capt. ¢. E. Adams of the “Recruit,” before in- troducing the chaplain ordered every one in the big crowd to bare their heads out of respect to the marchers, “It will be a glorious day for you boys when you first set foot on a United States man-of-wa: said Chaplain Wade. “God pity the man who has to say in generations to come that he took no part in this war, It is a holy war.
