"Proclamation by the president: j "I hereby designate the period of June 23 to June 30, next, as recruit- J ing week for the regular army and ( call upon unmarried men between ^ the ages of 18 and 40 years, who ^ have no dependents and who are not . engaged in pursuits vitally necessary 1 to the prosecution of the war, to . present themselves for enlistment i during the week herein designated to the number of 70,000. . (Signed) "Woodrow Wilson." ( The president acted at the request ( of army officials who have been se- i riously concerned over the slow rate j of recruiting for the regular army. ^ It had been hoped that the regular service could be brought to its whole j war strength of approximately 300,000 men by July 30, which would . Vaxm -noT-miffori flip war department ; to carry out its plans in regard to ^ the training of all forces to be raised "J and also as to the dispatch of armies to France. For several days, however, the average enrollment for the army per day has been little more than 1,000 men instead of the 5,000 ( A MAN'S STORE ( ?

Washington, June 21.?Machinery or enrolling an army of 625,000 nen by selective draft will be compete in every detail by July 1, two nonths before the tentative date :onsidered for calling the first of the xoops to the colors. Regulations for :he exemption process will be made mblic shortly. Brig. Gen. Crowder, the provost narshal general, who worked out ;he plans for both registration and selection, foresees no more compli? :ations with the selection and exemption machinery than was experiinced with registration. Secretary Baker and his advisers repeatedly lave given assrance that the selec;ion system will be favored by rea;on of political or other relations. !n order that neighborhood knowledge of a man's work and his deDendents might aid in the task of .ending to the front men who can be ipared at home, the countrry undoubtedly will be highly subdivided ind the exemption districts be small. ?

Washington, June 21.?The fcl- 4 lowing six divisional camp sites for the National Guard in the South eastern department, selected by Itfaj. Gen. Wood, were approved today by the war department: Anniston, Ala.; Montgomery, Ala. Greenville, S. C.; Macon, Ga. Three divisional camp sites remain to be selected in the Southeastern department. Gen. Wood, it is understood, originally selected all nini sites for National Guard camps in the State of Georgia. The war department deemed it wiser, however, to distribute the groups in several States and Gen. Wood's new list complies with that suggestion. There will be 16 divisional camps for the National Guard in all, the great majority of them being in the Southeastern and Southern departments. They are ito be regular tent encarapments with a few necessary wooden structures for administration buildings, stables, warehouses and the like and were placed in the Southern portion of the country because of the more favcrable climatic conditions. > > ^ MR. & MRS.

Atlanta, June 20.?"The apathe- trj ? spirit of the American people in to< egard to the war" was the keynote K( >f an address here today by Maj. trw 3en. Leonard Wood, commander of in* he Southeastern department, U. S. co before the eighth annual meetng of the International Association lai >f Rotary Clubs. The nation, he ro aid, has not yet awakened to the va 'act that "we are fighting a powerful foe and the quicker we realize in hat sacrifices must be made in order qu ;o win the war the quicker the war sh villi end." bt With a soldier's bluntness, Gen. bit iVood told the delegates America th vould wm ir. the end, but not until ? i "terntfi! price has been paid in >iood." There is a gene-al feeling hroughout the country, he said, that roung men were not raised to be sol- c liers, but "all boys are raised to be w lolcliers and to furnish the sinews of var and there will always be war M. is lone as there is bitter internation il business competition." M Gen. Wood's address late today :losed the regular business session md the delegates journeyed tonight ;o East Lake, one of A tlanta's countj clubs where they were given a supper. A minstrel show was the mtertainment feature. by Eotarians today devoted their A1 jus in ess session chiefly to the war jn md the part lie international asso- , :iation will be called upon to play. ^ rwo speakers who were on the pro- = gramme to address the convention today were unable to attend.
