Ariay Recraltlag Service.
But ten recruits were obtained at the
ITnlted States army recruiting depot during
the month of April. This Is the smallest
number of recruits secured In any single
month for-some years. Ten recruits have
already been enlisted during the first five
days of May, and the outlook Is for a big
number of enlistments from now on. This
sudden spurt of candidates for. service in
Uncle Sam's army is attributed to the re
cent calamity In San Francisco, that has
thrown a large number of young men out
of employment, and in their drifting baok
east, and failing to find expected employ
ment have decided to take up the army life
for an enlistment or so in any event. The
character of enlistments thus far during
the month of May are good, and the men
seera to fill all the physical, moral and
other requirements demanded of enlist
ments under the present rigid recruiting
regulations.
Military Posts la Department.
Of the military posts located in the De
partuient of the Missouri, the supreme com
maud of which is vested in Brigadier Gen

In 1906; Fort Riley, Kan., In 1853
Fort Robinson, Neb., In 1871. and Fort

MONEY TO Bl'ILD.
Coaipaay Organise- Here.
The R. D. Robinson company of this
olty has conceived a plan of assistance in
what might be termed the foundation work
of rebuilding stricken San Francisco, with
out at the same time drafting further upon
the generosity of the people.
The twin catastrophes of earthquake
and fire have rendered homeless tens of
thousands of mechanics, laborers and work
ers. These people cannot leave San Fran
cisco, and it would be bad for. the latter
it they did, for they are absolutely essen
tial to the task of rebuilding the city. But
while this vast multitude wait and work
they must have proper shelter," says Mr.
Robinson.
To carry out this plan, a corporation,
called the Earthquake Construction com
pany, is being formed and the Incorpora
tion papers will be filed Monday. It pro
poses to construct upon a large scale tem
porary homes for the army of workers,
renting them to the latter at a reasonable
rate. The company will have a . capital
stock of Il.000.0u0, divided Into 100,000 shares
of the par value of $10 each. This stock
will be thrown open to the public sub
scription at par and subscriptions will be
received for one share and upward.
There will be no profits to anyone in its
promotion or the sale of its stock, no com
missions or brokerage fees. The money
received from the sale of stock will be de
voted solely to the purposes outlined, ac
cording to the company's organisers, Iaa
the amount required for legitimate and
proper expenses. Although not planned
primarily for that purpose, it is expected
that the enterprise will prove profitable,
so that all who subscribe to the project
may do so with the consciousness that
they are not giving,' but lending their
capital to a worthy and needed work. Los
