HELPING YOU
TO DECIDE ON
SERVICE ARM
Recruiting Officers Give Ad-
vantages of Their Re-
spective Branches

What branch of the service shall
| enlist in?" has become the one
great question of the average young
mans life. In response to that ques-
ton asked thousand times a day in
every conceivable place a reporter
this morning interviewed the differ
ent recruiting officers and had them
explain in detail the merits of the
branches they represent.
The reserve corps of the army is
one of the most discussed, end at
the same time generally the most
misunderstood. Any recruiting Of
ficer, even though not enlisting for
the reserves alone, can accept men
for the different branches as re-
serves after permission has been
given him from a superior officer.
Several branches of the reserves are
represented by recruiting officers for
that section alone.
The chief disadvantage of the re-
us expressed by one of the men, "a
fellow never knows where he is at"
A man upon being accepted for the
reserves is allowed to go home and
told that he will be called when he
is needed. When that time may be
is not known or cannot even be
guessed at. He becomes almost a
prisoner of war. If he leaves home
q call may come for him at any mon
ute and find him away from home
and, perhaps, beyond reach of a
message. Not to report when re-

quested means to be subject to mill
tary discipline.
A man is not in position to make
plans even day ahead. 1t is said
that the question, Wonder when ]
will be called almost becomes an
obsession. He takes it to bed and
wakes with 1T in the morning. He
reads of the successes of the troops
at the front and wishes he were
with them, he reads of the reverses
and wishes more than ever to be in
the thick of the fighting.
The chief objection pointed out
was the loss of training the men ex-
perience while they are waiting for
assignment. 1t may stretch from
months into year. The men who
enlisted when they did but in active
service have become non-coms. Some
OF them have been made commission
ed officers. 1t is apparently not
even the best branch for the man
who does not want to see much of
the fighting. 1t is said that the pos
sibility always exists of being called
into service just when things are
raging the hottest, without sufficient
training and the gradual process
that makes a hardened soldier.
Excitement Everywhere
In contrast with this enlistment in
the Regular Army as a volunteer
brings with it what was pointed out
a Hundred and one unthought of
benefits" 1t offers branches for any
preference and capability. 1t assures
men coming under men whose pro-
fession has always been the making
of soldiers and fighting men. Those
same officers have never seen nor
heard of the recruit before ba pa+s
his first "call down." All men are
placed on an absolutely equal basis
When non-coms are to be appointed
they seldom are men l knew back
home"
The most popular town Beau
Brummel logged only in the ever
lasting sameness of the khaki looks
just like the boy who brought the
milk in the morning. If anything,
the latter has a slight advantage un-
less the former is willing to take
even more than the prescribed
amount of physical exercise.

SURVIVOR TELLS

KaiSer'S Fleet Hammered by
, Guns of British Fleet in
Z Jutland Battle
CAssociated Press Correspondence

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, July IA,
by Post-Scenes on the German flag
ship Lutzow during the Jutland naval
battle, in June, 1916, when some of the
newest and largest of the German bat
tile cruisers were battered or sunk by
Admiral Beatty's British squadron, are
vividly described by T.. Krug, one of
the Lutzow's survivors, in a pamphlet
which has just been published.
1t is believed to be the first detail
ed account of that battle from the
point of view of the German sailor to
reach the public eye.
Torpedoed early in the engagement.
the Lutzow, the flagship of Admiral
Hipper, was hammered numerically
by the big guns of the British vessels.
IT soon became a complete wreck a
"ship of the dead" as Krug describes
her.
After describing the first part of
the battle and telling how the arrival
of British battleships turned the tables
on the Germans, Krug writes;
Suddenly the entire ship is roughly
shaken. The colossus heaves far over.
Everything that is not fixed is upset

Men who have leaning toward the
medical profession and wish to get

some of them have, that he prefers

KIND OF unpleasant duties may arise
in that branch. He is also told that
ne Will not be one iota safer than
IL he were an infantryman.
A letter received this morning by
the local army recruiting station
mentioned the fact that the War
Department was still anxious too get
the names of as many non-coms as
possible who were fitted to accent
commissions. In the present emer-
gency men have been commissioned
from civil life who have never had
any military experience, vet who
may some time hold hundreds of
lives in their hands. The advantage
of appointing trained men if thew
pointed out.
Many men it was said are not in
position to leave home immedi-
ately and for those the reserve CORPS
of the army is pointed out if their
reasons are sufficient, although such
recommendations are very few.
Marine Corps Attractive
The marine corps does not have
local recruiting office, yet a local
man who spent two enlistments in
that branch declared there wasn't
anything like it for excitement. To
fight not only on land but on water
as we'll has proved a drawing card
for many local young men.
The navy apparently offers the
best chance for a man who wishes
to see the world and become trained
in some special line of work. 1t also
offers good opportunities for the man
who wants to enlist for life and be
retired with pay. Although it car
ries with it the disadvantage of a
seven-year period of service, at least

the extent of the damage wrought by
the salvo be seen. One of the shells
had landed in the sick bay. Here there
were three doctors and fifteen attend
ants, besides 100 to $50 wounded. OF
These were hurled into the next COM
partment by the air pressure. There
they lay unconscious.
THE Lutzow was now a complete
wreck. Corpses drifted past. From the
bows up to the first thirty y-centimeter
gun turret the ship lay submerged.
The other gun turrets were completely
disabled, with the guns sticking out in
all directions. On deck lay the bodies
of the sailors in their torn uniforms in
the midst of the empty shell cases.
From the masts fiuttered torn flags
twisted signal lines and pieces of wire
of the wireless installation. Had not
the lookout man and the three officers
on the commandant's bridge given
signs of life the Lutzow truly would
have resembled a ship of the dead. Be-

coal bunkers, there still lay innum-
cradle wounded, but there was no long

tained of getting away without fur

night news of the approach of two
