SCORES TURNED DOWN
South Chicago Recruiting
Office is Swamped With
Applications.

Scores of applications have been re-
ceived at the United States recruiting
station at South Chicago. Recruiting
officer j. A. Brennan to a TIMES re-
porter this morning said that during
the month of July there had been III
applicants examined at his office, but
out Of that number only eight were
accepted for the service. So far dur
ing the present month six were &C
cepted Out of every 100 applicants,
said Mr.. Brennan, there are less than
one-tenth that are fit for the service.
Are Out of Work.
The chief cause is that during the
present financial conditions many ap-
plicants call at the office that we
would not get in times of prosperity.
These are undesirables They cannot
pass the muster, being unable to read
and write the English language. More
are turned away for this reason than
any other. Then again many others
call who are under and over the ages
of is and 35 years, which are the ages
for the governmental service. All those
between the ages of IS and 81 must
have the consent of their parents, and
when it comes down to the final point,
this they are loath to do. Several have
made application from Hammond and
Whiting since the recruiting office at
that place closed.
