RECRUITING PLAN IN AMERICA
QUICK ENLISTMENT IN WAR TIME AGENCIES IN EVERY STATE (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright) (Received November 1, 7.55 p.m.) NEW YORK, October 31. The Washington correspondent of The New York Times says that the Army is preparing to create a national recruiting agency capable of enlisting 500,000 volunteers in the first two months of hostilities before a general draft. The plan involves the establishment of semi-military enlistment committees in strategic sections of each state. It is the outcome of official dissatisfaction over the scarcity of volunteers during the Great War, which was attributed to inefficiencies of the recruiting system.
