W. antf'TnadeT'public today! This isJthe enlistment plan advocted sever- 1 weeks ago by Governor Cooper and Adputant General Moore, when they wired the wor department asking for authority to enlist men'for one year. The aim of the governor and the ad jutant general was to secure men for the National Guard who wouta not en list for a three-year period. The one-year enlistment plan will make much easier the recruiting of the en larged National Guard, which -will be begun in this state at an early date. The advices received by the adju tant reneral are from the ^lajor Gen eral J. Mcl. Carter, chief of the ’mili tary bureau in Washington. The general makes public, as advance in formation, certain paragraphs from the New National Guard regulations. General Carter’s letter says in part: “Those men who served as enlisted men in the Unitdd States army, or in the organised militia of the several states or the District of Columbia, since April 6.1917. and have been hon orably discharged may, within six months after July or if dis charged subsequently to July 11, 1919, within six months after such dis charges, enlist in the National Guard for a period of‘OhO' year and may re enlist for like periods. “All other qualified men shall be enlisted for a period of one year, 'or organization the proportion of one for af period of three years. In each to two, and in determining this pror portion all enlistments made under (a) will be included. This proportion of one to two applies only to enlist ments. The requirements of law are met if enlistments in each organiza tion are maintained in the proper ra tio, regardless of subsequent changes. ‘Never Been Touched By tke Human Hand”— Butter-Kist Pop C orn What Do ' P.
