Prom reports rfcoivej at tho local
nrmy recruiting atution from the
main recruiting motion at Oklahoma
City the regular army Is ' at this
time rnjoyinK a rorruilintf boom tliat
has Ft'ldom .f over liven equaled t'X-
ccit in clays of 'utunl warfare . From
1912 to 1916 the nvempe number of
rr.t n enlisted throUKhout the coun-
try for the army was s'-ven hundred
u week or two thousand eicht hun-
ilrel onrh month. The number act-
ually enlisted each week at thf pres-
ent time is about two thousand one
hundred an increase of nearly two
hundred per cent over pre-war days.
These figures show that nearly as
many men are being enlisted rach
week now as were in an entire month
previous ot 1517. These fifirures do
not include th naTy or marine corps.
During Februnry and March of this
rear the weekly averafre of men
.MninR the colors was two thousand
thre hundred this larger total be-
in:; due somewhat to a recruiting
drive which took place during those
months. For every applicant ac-
cepted one other is rejected because
of some physical disability. This
would indicate that in spite of natural
after-war reaction the number of
mini applying for eullBtmenf in the
regular army alone throughout the
country Is close to five thousand
each week or twenty thousand a
month. Prior to the war the regular
urniy'a enlisted strength seldom ex-
ceeded ninety thousand.
The tte of Oklahoma shows even
greater percentage of increase than
in the case in the country at large.
For five years prior to the war the
Average number of recruits for the
entire state was only nine each week.
From March 1S19 to date this number
has pi own to fifty a week or two
hundred a month. This is an increase
of 433 percent for the stale as against
laS peicent for the country' as a whole.
Practically each substation for army
recruiting in the state shows a gTeater
number of men being enlisted each
Wifck now than were enrolled in the
entire state during the period from
1912 to 1915.
Of the men accepted for enlistment
at this time about one-half are for one
year and one-half for three years.
Likewise the percentage is about
equally divided between former serv-
ice men and men who have not prev-
iously been in the regular army. The
chief cause for these great increases
lies In the vocational and educational
school systems which the army has
established. Should the bill which is
now pending in congress to increase
the rates of pay almost double and
that with the educational opportuni-
ties offered the army may in some
future date see a waiting list of ap-
plicants. The big majortty of the re-
cruits now entering the new peace
time army are men who have had at
least a grammar school education and
cannot afford to go on in professional
schools in civil life.
