March 12- Due to U* fact a that tho knowledge which yr^'vailH among the genera) public4 iu regard to the requirements which wu*t he mot by a man before Iu* la eligible for enlistment iu the army doen not ' agent to be very dear, the recruit lug dith'lala for this district huve sent out iwjformattpn throwing light on thjs matter aud clearing up any possible doubt which may exist In the minds of fK.nuv A brief .summary Ls given hero : Persons who are over 40 years of a^o but have not yet attained their 4lst birthday may onllNt In the army. Vounjr men who are now 21 yeara of ape but who were not 21 .yeara old on registration day (June 6th, 1917) are still permitted Jo enlist. The of ficials advise all young men wljo are' now 21 yeara old and not registered to grasp this opportunity to choose their own branch of service und then join the colors as a volunteer, as It uww seems probable that a luw will he passed requiring men attaining the ape of 21 to register. No registered man way voliWKteer n>r service In the army, except in occasional Instances when men of special qualifications are ?ceded Immediately. Enlistment In the army now Is for the period of the war only, and a volunteer Is not required to sign up for any definite length of time; this fact' has caused many to Join. Married men may en list on the same basis as single men, and family allowances are granted. The only educational qualification necessary Is ability to six'ak English. The physical examination given now is not nearly so strict as that given a year uko, and the officials advise any who may have been rejected ut ' previous datCN because of slight phy sical defects to make another attempt, as the second attempt may be suc cessful. Practically- every branch of the service Is now open, and a man who volunteers Is given the privilege of taking bis choice of the branch of the army he doslx-CH. lloth white and eoloictl men are wanted and needed, the colored men to db Stevedore work. The opportunities afforded a volun teer at this-' time are greater than ever before In the nation's history. The pay is good, the chances of pn> motion splendid and the living condi tions are excellent. " There is no neces sity. the officials state, for reviewing the reasons why all men able to do so should help the land of their birth in this great crisis, as all men have had' these facts fully impressed upon their uiimls. In the years to come after the war Ls over, those who failed to join the colors at this time when they were able to do so, the officials say, will be caused bitter disappointment and life-long regret that they were weighed iu l In balances ami found wanting and that they did not &9 their share iu helplug'tto "make the world safe for democracy."

(By the Associ ated Press.) ? An American raiding party entered the German trenches along the Toid sector at 0 o'clock this morning after an artillery bombard ment of forty-live minutes and brought hack munli* material and in formation, but captured no prisoners. It. was l ho lirst raid undertaken by the Americans without the aid of the French. The raid was highly successful us the enemy withdrew many men from the front, line when lihe bombardment indicated that a raid might follow. The raiders reported that American gtm fire had created destruction " in the German positions and had torn gaps in the enemy barbed wire en tanglements. The German batteries came Into action, but accomplished nothing toward disturbing tihe prog ress of the raid. The Americans entered the enemy trenches behind one side of a "box" barrage, which moved forward in front 4>f them. They found numerous Ger mans hiding in the dugouts, In the hand-to-hand lighting which 'followed a number of the enemy were killed and wounded and left in the trenches. Going far beyond their objective the raiders penetrated the German line H00 yards. A few lights developed on the way, but the Germans were driven off. The Americans failed to find' most of the Germans, who had been with drawn hurriedly from the front line, although they Searched for tbem. In the hand-to-hand lighting the Americans used their automatic pis tols and rifles. During the raid the American machine guns placed a bar rage in the enemy back areas in or der to prevent a counter-attack. The American* fought so fast and did their work so hurriedly that ttoe medical men who accompanied tbem had little to do. Every American who left the front Jine returned. On their way back the Americans encountered a German listening post, which fired at them. In less time than it takes to tell it the Germans in the post were silenced. The Americans reached heir own lines . without a German shell having fallen anywhere near them, for It was all over so quickly the German bat teries did not have a good chance to gat Into action. The Americans were iqside the enemy lines for flftoen min utes. ' "Amarilly of Clothesline Alley." Mary Pkskford in "Amarilly of Ck>t Mfes" <m Cftc -QQoaiel &k-{ traction at the Majestic today.
