Approves Suspension of Volunteer System That the suspension of the volun teer system for recruiting the ranks of the Regular Army is the best plan to eliminate the distinction between the Regular and National Army was the opinion advanced by Lieutenant Robert W. Lesher, commander of the Harrisburg recruiting party this morning. Lieutenant Lesher said no word had been received about the dispo sition to be made of the recruiting party. It was pointed out that because recruiting officers can no longer ac cept volunteers, the ability to volun teer is not altogether taken from the men of military age. Through the numerous induction calls re ceived by local boards for men pre pared for special service at various branches or army occupations, it was pointed out that young men may still be able to get into the service by choosing the branches they prefer.
