New York, May 30.-Columbus,
1492? Yes, that was when the venture-
some sailor discovered America. But
"Columbus 1492" is the number you
call now in New York when you want
to discover a way to serve America.
When the United States junior naval
reserve opened new headquarters at
231 West Fifty-eighth street, the boys
who are being trained in merchant ma-
rine and naval affairs, wanted a tele-
phone number of some significance, so
they asked for one in memory of the
first seaman to come to thiscountry.
Their request was quickly granted.
Next, the boys wanted an office boy
with a patrioticname, and advertised
for one. They got him, too. He's
George Dewey West. Dressed as an
admiral, he is now distributing public-
ity to visitors.
Four hundred more boy recruits are
wanted to join the junior reserve here.
Over 1,000 cadets are expected at Camp
Dewey this summer, and boys of the
junior reserve may win scholarships
to that camp. Marine equipment must
be doubled to take care of the crush
at Camp Dewey.
NATION MAY MAKE NEW
DIVE FORVOLUNTEERS
FEAR DELAY IN FILLING ARMY
AND NATIONAL GUARD
UNITS
Washington, May 30.-War depart-
ment officials are pointing to the daily
recruiting figures as proof anew that
the volunteer system fails in time of
national emergency.
Tuesday's regular army recruiting
brought in 2,237 men, making a total
of 87,518 since April 1. Illinois was
first with 300 and New York second
with 295.
But army officers declare that a
great drive for volunteers to fill the
army and national guard to the new
war strength will be necessary un-
less there is to be serious delay in
organizing the newly authorized regi-
ments. These are for the regular
army and quite apart from the army
to be raised by selective conscription.
Despite the fact that American
regulars are under orders for the
fighting front in France, less than 200,-
000 men have enlisted since April 1 in
the regulars and national guard .
The present rate of enlistment-
1,200 to 1,500 a day-officials says.
must be increased to 10,000 or 20,000
a day.
The national guard is in even a
worse situation. The present total
strength is less than 200,000 and rais-
ed to a war footing, as had been order-
ed, should total 330,000.
Even the announcementsthat Gen.
Pershing would lead a division to
France without delay, failed utterly to
stimulate enlistment.
58 Students Enter Ambulance Work
Oberlin, O., May 30.-Fifty-eight out
of the 93 men who signed up for am-
bulance work were recommended by
the Intercollegiate intelligence bureau.
The men who were not recommeded
were rejected because they were be-
low 20 years of age, or because they
were serving on farms and were there-
fore under obligations to the college
up to commencement.
DIFFERENT PERIODS
FOR EXAMS WANTED
Professors P1 e a d Inconvenience
Should They Hold Finals as
Scheduled
Petitions by a number of professors
were presented at the recent faculty
meeting asking .that examinations in
certain of their courses, which are re-
garded in the examination schedule as
regular hour courses, be changed from
the hours scheduled to an indefinite
hour such as the irregular class ex-
amination hours.
The petitioners maintained that it
would cause an inconvenience to give
their examinations pt the hours speci-
fied in the examination schedule.
Dean John R. Effinger was author-
ized to appoint a committee of faculty
men to decide upon the matter.
NICARAGUA WANTS CASH FOR
PANAMA CANAL CONCESSIONS
Managua, Nicaragua, May 30.-It is
reported that a disagreement has
arisen between the Nicaraguan govern-
ment and the American collector of
customs.
The Nicaraguan government, it is
said, has sent a cable dispatch to
Washington, insisting on the payment
of the money due for the canal con-
cession, and stating that otherwise
Nicaragua will be compelled to take
over the customs, owing to the press-
ing financial situation.

AMERICAN ARTILLERY UNITS
WILL BE FULLY MOTORIZED
Various Types of Tractors to Be Used
After Extensive Experi-
mentation
Washington, May 30.-War depart-
ment experiments have justified plans
for the successful motorizing of all
American artillery units sent to Eu-
rope.
Only units of the smallest caliber re-
quired to move at very high speed will
be horse drawn.
The experimentation was carried on
first with various types of tractors
under the direction of the field artil-
lery board at Fort Sill, Okla., and by
the ordnance department of the army
at Rock Island arsenal: followed later
at Fort Bliss, Tex., with a completely
equipped battery. The work has been
in charge of Major Lucian B. Moody.
Autos are cheaper to keep up.

Washington, May 30.-To enable the
nited States to retain supremacy in
iternational finance throughout the
ar and to emerge in a strong finan-
[al condition afterwards, officials
ave in mind the enforcement of the
llowing program:
The virtual closing of American
oney markets to further foreign gov
rnment bond issues.
The stabilizing of business condi-
ons by the contemplated internation-
1purchasing board.
Centralization of. the country's
nancial system by the addition to the
deral reserve system of thousands of
rong trust companies and state
anks.
Virtually all financial plans of the
vernment, including the floatation of
Le Liberty loan and the program of
nancing the entente governments as
ell as the efforts to continue the
untry's present prosperity, are
ade with those features in mind.
The allies are in full accord with
.e program, it is understood.
