A PLAIN TALK
From the Commander
of the 6th Company
Coast Artillery, lo
the Young“ Men of
Norwalk. '
THE PRIDE OF AMERI-
CA has always been its VOL-
UNTARY military system.
“We do not need to resort to
conscription, as do the Coun-
tries of Europe," we have said,
“OUR young men do not
HAVE to be forced to ' Lar
arms in defense of their Cunn~
try. They will flock to the
colors when the need comes."
"Between sunrise and sun-
set." paid a modern statesman,
“a million men will spring to
arms, ifmeeded."
Perhaps. A million MEN—-
but not a million SOLDIERS.
And there Is 12 months' differ-
ence between a MAN and a
, SOLDIER.
The Sixth Company. Coast
ArtilicIywtlIc Norv alk Com-
pany—right now lacks 50 men
to bring it up to the strength
required by the War Depart-
ment in this time of National
emergency. They have not
volunteered—have not "flock-
ed to the colors” noticibly.
To meet this situation the
present Legislature passed a
conscription law. We can now
get these men—in that way—-
in short order.
But before resorting to con-
scription, I wish to make
this statement to the young
men of our Town. If you EN-
LIST with us NOW, you can
learn at least the A. B. C. ’s of
military training before the call
comes. And when you go away
it will be with men you
know, from your own town,
and not to some concentration
training camp.
And then too. the glory of
service is the willingness—the
checrfulncss WIth which it is
given.
A man deserves and GETS
no credit for doing what he is
made to do. The man who
waits to be drafted will never
feel quite the same as if he had
volunteered willingly.
Stamford supports three
military companies. Shall Nor-
walk have to resort to con-
scritpion to fill one? .
Call at. the Armory anytime
ticulars.

The following dispatch was received this morning from
Secretary of Navy Josephus Daniels:
“Washington, D. C., March 25th
“South Norwalk, Conn.
'The prCSI dent last night signed an executive order di-
recting that the authorized enlIsted strength of the navv be
increased to eighty-seven thousand. He was authorized by
Congress, in case of emergency, to direct such increase in

perative for a larger enlistment to man them. There has
been a net increase of over six thOusand five hundred to en.
“Will you not emphasize thIs need by giving special
