Army Recruits Drop as Reserve Draws Few Men
Washington reports enlistments in the army are falling by about 400 men per month. Officials attribute the decline to the new army reserve created by Congress. Only eight former soldiers have joined the reserves, which were organized last November. The average enlistments since November 1 have been about 2,000 monthly, below the expected 2,400. Officers say desirable men hesitate to bind for seven years as reservists. Reservists would receive a small $5 monthly bounty in war, versus larger $8 for reenlistment.
