Recruiting For Boers

Cincinnati Youth Said to Be Securing Men to Fight the English

Active recruiting for a filibustering expedition of Americans to aid the Boers in South Africa is going on in Cincinnati. The Cincinnati recruiting agent is Harry Lowe of West Sixth street. He is 21 years old and is a draftsman. He was graduated from Hughes High school a year or two ago. He is a giant in stature and a noted local football player. On the list of recruits already secured by young Lowe are about 30 names of young Cincinnatians and Kentuckians. Lowe is the regularly delegated agent of a Washington recruiting agency which is arranging to ship 2,000 men to South Africa early in December.

The official order as received by Lowe directs him to instruct his men to be ready for orders to mobilize on ten days' notice after Dec. 1. says the New York Sun. The mobilization point is kept a secret for fear the United States government would take steps to prevent the sailing of the expedition.

George A. Armes of 1405 F street is said to be the head of the movement in Washington. Lowe has received two letters from him as to the project. In the first letter Armes speaks of a plan to load arms and ammunition for the Boers in South Africa.
