Teufel NEEDED TO FILL GAPS IN RANKS Department Wants Regular Army at War Strength by June 30. ALL BRANCHES ARE SHORT WASHINGTON. June 12. The war department today called for 70,000 additional recruits in order to fill the regular army to -war strength before June 30. "The cavalry, engineers, coast artillery, signal corps and quartermaster corps of the regular army have already been brought to war strength." says an official statement.

"Forty-live thousand recruits are needed at once to complete the new regiments of infantry and field artillery. "Twenty-five thousand additional recruits are desired at the earliest practicable date to fill vacancies in order that the war strength of 300,000 men may be maintained. "Facilities are in readiness for p'ac-ing these 70,000 men under proper training. Any delay in obtaining this number will necessarily cause the loss of invaluable time. "It is the earnest desire of the war department that 70,000 single men between ages of 18 and 40, have no dependents and who are not engaged in professions, businesses trades vitally-necessary to the prosecution of the war, be enlisted in the regular army before the end of June." Registrants May Get Insignia on July 4 Presentation of insignia to all who registered on June 5 may be made a feature of Pittsburgh celebration of the Fourth of July.

Mayor Armstrong, according to the tentative plans, will give a device to each man enrolled during the exercises at Schenley park. Plans for the celebration of the day are well under way, but not ready for announcement. Chief Clerk Roy D. Schooley of the department of public works said yesterday He said the department had sent out letters to all boards of trade requesting them to make known their desires. Mt.

Washington and West Liberty were the first to reply and both indicated they wanted community celebrations for at least a part of the day. Trade Board Wants High SchoolHurried Means of hurrying the completion of the Westinghouse high school building, on Murtland avenue, took up most of the regular meeting of the Homewood Board of Trade last evening. It was cited that the contract for the building was let long before that for the Schenley high school. All that has been done toward erecting the AVestinghouse building is excavation of a small part for the foundation. A committee of six attorneys was appointed, with Robert McMillan as chairman, to look up the legal status of the case.

Compromise Is Reached on Plan to Purchase Jamestown Exposition Site. WASHINGTON. June 12. By approv- ins: the proposition to acquire the Jamestown exposition site as a naval base, and clipping $200,000 from the price, the House today probably cut the Gordian knot that bound up the I great $3,340,000,000 urgent deficiency bill. Indications now are that the bill, which includes the $750,000,000 authorization for a merchant marine, soon will be sent to the President.

The House adopted an amended conference report on the measure. In addition, young officers now in the training camps will get their needed pay of $100 per month, for House Republicans, after the Jamestown site incident was compromised, agreed to cease their opposition to allowing the pay to become available immediately. Recently allegations were made that the Government was being charged far too much for the Jamestown site. This has been the cause of the wrangle. Originally the appropriation for the base was $1,400,000.

as agreed upon by the 'conferees. Today the House reduced this to $1,200,000. Senator Martin, one of the Senate conferees, later said this sum was satisfactory to him, and he thought it would be to the Senate as a whole. He will call up the conference report tomorrow, and it is expected the Senate will accept it. The House in its amendment threw the responsibility upon President Wilson.

Representative Lenroot of Wisconsin said: "The President must determine not only whether the base is a military necessity, but the price to be paid. If any scandal ensues, the responsibility will attach not to the House of Representatives, but to the President." Travel Amidst the Scenic Wonders Of the Great West This Summer.

Ringworms On Arms Itched and Burned Till Almost Crazy Healed By Guticura "The first sign of ringworms on rr.y arms was little pimples and blisters. I r-ratrhed them and thev eot very larse ana rea, ana the skin arouna them would be all inflamed.

They spread all down my arms to the wrists, and I could not sleep. When my clothes rubbed against them they itched and bumed so that they almost set me crazv. "I sent for a free sample cf Cuticura Soap and Ointment which pave me relic Then I bought one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Ointment and in four weeks the ringworms were completely healed." (Signed) Miss Gertrude Kile, 1845 Harold St, Philadelphia, June 13, 1916. Cuticura Soap not only works wonders jn all cases of skin troubles but its properties are so mild and so delicately combined that it is ideal for use in the toilet.
