Army Enlistments Hit New Peace Time Record
The Army Recruiting Service announced a new peace time enlistment record with 659 recruits nationwide in one day. Major C B Howard said the pace could reach 50 000 within two months, as plans for additional contingents and assignments to the Philippines and Hawaii continue. A notable enlistment was John J Kelly who rejoined after a brief visit and had his discharge papers with him. Louis Depleals seeks Veterinary Corps training for meat inspection duties and potential government advantages. A recruiting rally is set for today at the Sub Treasury steps with speakers Martin Vogel and Major Carnelius W Wickersham.
