RECRUITING OFFICE
A
GOOD
W
Within Year 135 Men Have
, Enlisted Here For Service
In the U. S. Army.
, The business of the local United
States recruiting office, In charge of
6ergeant E. W. Bonney, has exper
ienced of the best years since the of
fice was established here In 1901, ac
cording to the reports of the officer
In charge. The fiscal year of the Fed
eral government will end next Tues
day, June SO, and H is expected that
the total number of applicants that
tvlll have been accepted by that time
will push the present year to the top
,wf the list. Already for . this year,
which Is from July, 1913 to July 1,
1H14, 135 men have been accepted
through the local office. The highest
record made by the local office was In
when 17 men were accepted.
,The next highest year was 1912, when
137 men were sent from this office.
This puts the number of the present
year third In the list, but as there Is
still left several days, it Is thought
that the present year will either go to
the top or rank as second ' all the
years since the office has been estab
lished. Eight were sent from the local of
fice yesterday to Columbus (Ohio)
.Barracks, where they will be given the
final examinations and put through
the preliminary drills, If accepted, be
fore being sent to the different
branches of the service for which they
have enlisted. Of the eight men leav
ing her tomorrow, they go In al
most as many different branches of
the service, although all are for some
branch of army, as the local office
does not accept applicants for the
navy.
During the month of June, 14 men
hare been accepted by the local office
and sent to Columbus, where all wpre
to pass the final examinations.
Already the number accepted during
th present month Is far In excess of
the average month or the average
June.
Two men, one a co."poral and one a
private, are kept at the local station,
besides the recruiting sergeant, to
help in the work. These' men make
regular trips throughout western
North Carolina and distribute litera
ture for the purpose of getting men
into the different branches of the
army.

LAKE JUANITA MUSIC
Washington, June 29. Adminlsta-
tion officials, particularly those In the
state department have been Interest
ed, mildly amazed and in some doubt
over reports from abroad that George
Fred Williams of Boston, minister to
Greece, had officially condemned In
emphatic terms the present govern
ment of Albania.' No such official
report has reached the department.
Inasmuch as some time ago the de
partment investigated a published re
port that Mr. Williams had offered his
services on behalf of . the United
States as a mediator in the Albania
crisis, and discovered It was unfound
ed, they were Inclined to await the
result of an Inquiry on the latest story.
Some time ago Mr. Williams sought
permission from the state department
to make a personal visit to Albania to
learn first hand the conditions In that
distracted country. Bo far he has not
reported the results of his Inquiry.

The audience, which attended the

have been very cordially received In
