..The national guard of the state of
Nebraska has been authorized by the
War department at Washington to
proceed to recruit the Fourth and
Fifth regiments to their full war
strength of 150 men to a company,
and Governor Neville and General P.
L.'' Hall have taken steps to offer to
the young men of the . state the op
portunity to enlist in the troops that
will bear the state's name upon the
battlefields of the great world war.
For this purpose there will be recruit
ing stations established throughout
the state to assist in the work of per
fecting the full war strength of the
militia.
Xieutenant Kimball of Company C,
Fourth infantry, and who is in com
mand of the camp near the Burling
ton bridge at this place, has arranged
to open up. a recruiting station at the
rest room i in the Hotel Riley block
this week to permit all red-blooded
yotfng Americans who desire to enlist
an opportunity to do their "bit" for
the good of Uncle Sam. The recruit

be supplied with all information de
sired by calling and talking the matter
over with Lieutenant Kimbrell at this
time. The members comprising Com
pany C are a fine bunch of young
men and their spirit of patriotism is
inspiring, as they have forsaken- home
and all the pleasures to enter into the
task of serving, that their country
may succeed and come forth victori
ous, and their example is one well
worthy of being followed. Anyone
interested in enlisting and aiding the
upbuilding of the name of Nebraska,
can talk the matter over with the
lieutenant or the members of the
guard as they meet them on the street
and become acquainted with the facts
in the case.
This opportunity to enlist is to
allow those who have the desire in
their hearts To join of their own free
will, as under the law the different
companies can and will probably be
filled by draft that covers the military
ages of 18 to 45 under the regular
army regulations and aside from the
conscription registration. It is the
time now to rally to the colors, and
while Lieutenant Kimbrell is enlisting
for his own company he will be glad to
give any advice in regard to the
other companies and service in the
regiment.
