2 EL PASO HERALD COST DEATH YEA Lieut. Col. Stevenson and His Officers Why Men Eligible to Military Service Should Volunteer and Avoid Being Drafted; Recruiting: Station Is Opened in Plaza; Want 1000 Men by July 5. Progress Is Made in Auditors Rsport Makes As- Formation of FI Paso cets SCOTeach- C4uard Battalion. ers Are Reelected.

PASO oversubscribed its allotment of the Liberty loan by more than a quarter of a million dollars; El Paso gave more than $30,000 to the Red Cross on the first day of the campaign to raise funds for the war chest of the organization. Is El Paso going to give as liberally of volunteers as it has of money to furnish its quota of the new increment of the Texas national guard? Recruiting officers here are asking that question. So far the young men of El Paso have not been as liberal in giving themselves as the older folks have been in giving money for the cause. Want lOCO Men. The state expects El Paso to raise at least a thousand men for the four new regiments of the national guard.

Thus far only 45 have passed the physical examination and taken the STOLEN A Bilick Light Six was stolen at 8:45 p. m. June 16th. 25 Reward for recovery of above car. Original license No.

James F. Colley and Lieut. M. Lippman. Many more are on the waiting list, ready to be examined and sworn in, but only 47 nre actually in the service.

In addition to this srroup, other comoanies are being formed. Dr. W. R. Jamieson has been authorized to organize a field hospital unit.

He will have the title of major. The doctor is just recovering from an attack of appendicitis and has not been able to devote his time to recruiting. Three other men, all of whom have been recommended for commissions, have been given to recruit men for the new El Paso units. They are Josenh P. Bridges, Ike Alderete.

and W. W. Windham. Rridsres been recommended for a captair.cv. have the other two men.

He was a second lieutenant of volunteers in the Spanish American war with company L. third Texas infantry, from Cleburne. Later he was elected caotain of the company and served nine years in the guard. Tn 1907 he was placed on the unassigned list. Bridges recently passed an examination for a commission in the reserve corps and was recommended as competent, but the age restriction prevented its being given to him.

Beginning today lie will start recruiting with headouarters in room 12, chamber of commerce. A supply company for the El Paso battalion is the task assigned to W. W. Windham, freight a rent for the E. P.

E. Stevenson, commanding the El Paso district of the guard, is confident that a battalion, at least, will be raised here. Cant. Colley and Lieut. Lippman are as certain of it as their commanding officer.

But to do this and keep El Paso from going on the list, recruits must come in much faster than they have in the last few weeks. The guard is scheduled to mobilize on July 5. Between now and that time a whirlwind recruiting campaign will be made. Special speakers will come I here and address mass meetings to stimulate enlistments and the officers in El Paso will redouble their efforts to pret new men. has very nearly raised a war strength regiment, numbering over 3000 men and El Paso ought to do as said Col.

Stevenson. we can raise the men the state will accept a regiment from us. The minimum expected of us Is a battalion and we hope to raise a much larger organization. One trouble been that everybody expects a commission. If the men who have come to me and asked for commissions were to enlist we would have enough already to make up a battalion.

Commissions are 1 going to be given to men who deserve them on their merits, and not to men who have some unusual influence.

Railroaders In Supply Company. The supply company men being enlisted by W. W. Windham, city freight agent for the El Paso and Southwestern railroad, are coming from the railroad general and local departments and mercantile establishments. It is understood that especially the railroads would probably be seriously handicaped, at least for the present, by the enlisting of members in the offices and it was requested that the men should not be taken all at one time, but should go in groups of three or four, which would allow ample time for their replacement and training of other men.
