RECRUITING IS AT LOWEST EDO; DRAFT AWAITED

Only six men were enlisted in the

United States army at the Richmond ' recruiting station the last ten days of May, according to a report made to

lay by Sergeant Warner.

"The total enlistments at this sta

tion during the past month was forty sven, as against sixty-two for April,' Svarner said."

j "The first ten days of May thirty

' two recruits were Secured at my of

fice. During the next ten days there were only nine enlistments and the

last ten days the enlistments dropped

off to six."

Sergeant Warner believes that the

announcement made by the war de

partment about two weeks ago that United States troops would be sent to

France this summer must hate chilled the feet of a number of men who had

. contemplated enlisting in the regulars as volunteers in preference to being

drafted. -

"I guess these fellows have decided

to take their chance on the draft,' Warner remarked. No Draft Troubles. Although plots to prevent reidetra

tion of men of military age have been

reported recently from various parts of the country no propaganda of this

nature is being promoted In Rich

niond or neighboring towns of Wayne county, according to a statement made today by Sheriff Clem Carr, head of

the county conscription board.

"I don't believe there are very many slackers In Wayne county," Sheriff

Carr said. No protests against con

ecription have been entered by Wayne county people and the sheriff believes practically 100 per cent, of the Wayne

county young men between the ages

of 21 and 31 will be registered on June 5. - Yesterday a non-resident of the 'county, an actor, located in Richmond for the time being, appeared at the sheriff's office and filled out a conscription registration card, giving his age as 26. Actor Changes Age. Later this man called on Sheriff Carr and Informed him that he had been mistaken in his age. He said he had received a letter from his mother in which she gave his age as 33 years. The actor desired to withdraw his registration card. Sheriff Carr refused to do thij and has ordered the actor to nppear before him to hear a straight-from-the-shoulder talk. Sheriff Carr and his associates on the conscription board are still being deluged with mail from Wayne county people in variuos parts of the county, inclosing registration cards. A Richmond man, Raymond Ashcraft, writes that he is in Grant county Kentucky,

EX-SENATOR SAYS WAR UNJUSTIFIED

XEW YORK, June 1. "We dishonored ourselves by declaring war without adequate or reasonable cause." This was the message of former Senator John D. Works of California to the so-called first American conference on democracy and terms of peace at its initial meeting in Madison Square garden yesterday.

livened the proceedings.

Edgar Nicholson,' and secretary of the Friends National Service Committee, urged Quakers of the country to organize squads to help handle the abnormally heavy crops predicted for next fall.

men to the war training camps to

work; under the. direction of the Y. M.
