Naval Recruits Come In Slow Despite War's End
The local recruiting station enrolled a single recruit Wednesday morning the first since July 26. Paul Eugene Young from Kirksville Missouri enlisted as a musician and will go to Peoria for final examinations. Quincy and four other district stations average fewer than five recruits weekly, with recruiting costs running to several hundred dollars per recruit. The navy, though postwar reductions loom, still needs more men as many old four year enlistees reach term end in 1920. Attractive war tales fail to lure youth, keeping costs high per recruit.
