TEN YEARS TO [ RECRUIT ARMY At Present RattTlt Will Take Long Time to Enlist Forces to War Strength "At the present rate of recruiting it will take from live to ten years to enlist the United States army and the National Guard up to war strength and the young men of the country had better awaken to the fact that they will be drafted: and that they better have an understand ing with Uncle Sam at once, if they I don't want to be drafted," said Cap tain William F. Harrell, in charge of the Harrisburg district for army re cruiting with offices in the Strouse building, this morning. Captain Harrell received a com munication from the Adjutant Gen eral of the army stating that all re cruiting districts in the United States would be required to double their quota, or enlist two men out of every thousand. They will also be re quired to get this number of men within thirty days after the war bill, which is before Congress at present, is passed. Recruiting has fallen off here dur ing the last few days. The navy recruiting office broke all records here for nonenlistments, not a single applicant being received at the office last week.

"I am a nurse and suffered from a nervous break down. I had no appetite and could not sleep at night, and nothing seem ed ty help me. By chance 1 heard : o£ Vinol, and after taking, the first 1 hottle 1 noticed an improvement, 1 and four bottles made me well and | strong, it gave me a hearty appetite, | so 1 can sleep soundly night or day. ; I consider Vinol a wonderful tonic." ' Edith R. Forbes, Stamford, Conn. The reason Vinol is so successful ' in overcoming such conditions is be-1 cause it is a constitutional remedy and goes to the seat of the trouble, i It is the greatest strength creator we j know—due to the beef and cod liver peptones, iron and manganese pep tonates and giycerophospates which it contains, all dissolved in a pure medicinal wine. We have seen so many wonderful recoveries like this right here in Harrisburg caused by Vinol, that we feel perfectly safe in offering to re turn money in every such case where Vinol fails to benefit.

Gretna Camp Site National Guardsmen from Central j Pennsylvania counties are getting ready for active service by working ! at the Mt. Gretna camp site which | is being put into shape for mobili- I zation of the National Guard and as! a training camp tor volunteers. The usual spring work at the camp is being speeded up and in addition I permanent roads are being con structed and water iines extended. To-day men connected with vari- ! ous units of the Eighth infantry left j for the camp as individuals to work ) on the roads. In same cases they were accompanied by their officers, i but they did not go as members of the Guard. One squad was made j up of men from the machine gun company of the Eighth, including men living in Harrisburg, Lemoyne, I New Cumberland and Mechanics- I burg. Men from places in Lancas- | ter, Lebanon and York counties are taking advantage of the chance to "harden up" for active service by j working at the camp site. National Guard officers stated to- ; day that the men were going to work on their own initiative and that . no orders relative to work at the camp had been issued. The spirit of the men was highly praised and it was declared that when the call j for active service came, which will be soon, they would be in fine phy sical trim. FLOUR AND COAL SOARING HIGH [Continued Front First Page] nothing to look forward to but an increase in price and a coal famine equivalent to the one in 1902 again this I'aU. During the month of April virtually no coal has boen received in this city and it is a question whether any will be received for another month." When asked what was the reason for the shortage, he said, "The nation produced more coal last year ! than ever before in history and it I also consumed more. The same con- j sumption demand is again being made this year and the operators are j not able to get out the coal owing j to the fact that many miners have i accepted positions with munition i factories, leaving the operators short j in labor. The shortage of cars to j "hip the product also is a big factor in the situation." Highest in Half Century An official of the Paxton Flour j and Peed Company said this morn- | ing that Hour is now higher in price than it has been for the last fifty years. Pennsylvania flour has in- I creased $2.65 per barrel during the 1 last month and Western flour has j increased $3.00 in the same period." J J. Grant Schwarz, president of 1 the Witman-Sehwarz Company, wholesale grocers said: "There is a greater shortage of foodstuffs to-day 1 than I can remember of and not j only in a few articles but in every- j thing. The price has been gradually j increasing in all foodstuffs during the past month or more and is still I increasing, with no relief in sight. J Flour is front two,to three dollars 1 higher in price than it was a month ago and Is still going up. The price of sugar has also increased greatly." When asked the reason for the in- j creased prices Mr. Schwarz said, "It is my opinion that the great de mand exceeds the supply. This holds i true especially in sugar. Dealers ! \ will only sell a limited amount and j the wholesale price has jumped to I eight and a half to nine cents per i pound, while retail dealers are sell ing it from nine and a half to ten ! cents per pound. An official of the Evans-Burnett | Company, wholesale grocers, said I this morning that in Ms opinion the j consumers had a great deal to do 1 with the increasing prices of food | | stuffs. "They accumulate a large j t supply of food, thus reducing the i channels of consumption and in- j creasing the price. If the consumers ] would only buy enough for immedi- j ate use the situation would be re- I lieved greatly." he said. ASKS ENROLLMENT OF 5,000 IN RED CROSS [Continued From First Page] the opinion that over confidence is something unknown to the canvass ers. The total membership up to noon today was 2901, an increase of 185 since Saturday night. Among the new members report ed joining since Saturday morning include 109 from tho John C. Her man Company; 126 "from the Bell Telephone Company; 26 from the Johnson Paper Company, and 17 from tho Commonweal Club.

Final instructions Will bo given the captains and aids at this meeting. Bishop Philip R. McDevltt, of the Catholic diocese of Harrisburg, this morning, enrolled as an annual member of the Red Cross and con tributed $24 to the general fund. Be fore leaving headquarters, he said: "The Red Cross! A glorious work inspired by the pure spirit of charity and sympathy for human suffering, wherever found, both In time of peace and time of war.

The flas was borne to tho yards at North street by six girls, all of foreign birth, from the Penn school building, followed by the 300 pupils of the Penn building, accompanied by their teachers. The men of the yards were group ed on one side of the pole, the pupils on the other. The exercises were opened by the singing of "America" by the chil dren. followed by the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." Little Grace Harro, of the fifth grade, then pulled the rope which raised Old Glory to the top of the pole. All the pupils saluted the flag and sang the "Star Spangled Ban ner." W. H.

Every one present gave three cheers for the flag and the children followed with three cheers for Mr. Harro and his patriotic workmen, who by this act showed themselves to bo loyal sons to the country of their adoption. After the exercises the children marched back to the Penn building and were disbanded. The pupils of the Penn building are mostly of foreign birth or chil dren of foreign born parents, but they sing "America," "The Star- Spangled Banner," etc., with as much enthusiasm as any girl or boy who boasts of generations of Amer ican ancestry. For the last two or three years, in the spring of the year, after the weather becomes warm enough, they have gathered very frequently on Friday afternoons, on the steps in the front of the Penn building and have sung the patriotic airs for fif teeen or twenty minutes.
