RECRUITING STILL GOING ON

There seems to be a misunder-
standing that recruiting for the Ma

| is not the case, however, and anyone
who desires to enlist can do so. The
! National Guard has a recruiting Of
| fee at the ArmOry, 18th & Orange st.
Wilmington, and this Office will have
the recruiting in charge until the
troops leave for Admission, Ala. Then
the u S. Army Recruiting Office, at
sos Market street, will recruit for
both the regular army and the Ma
tional Guard After the 1st Del. Inf.
leaves for Admission, anyone wanting
to recruit will be taken care of at the
U. S. Army Office and sent to Fort
SlOcum, n. Y, for the final examin-
alton and then sent to Admission, or
wherever they may be. The regular
army will continue enlisting.
At present the regular army is very
much in need of cooks and bakers,
and would welcome any numbers of
them.
The recruiting Office has received
notice to secure 40 men for the Field
Artillery. Here is a big chance for
anyone liking this branch of the SER
vice. Now is the time to enlist as
we may get an order any minute to
stop enlisting for this branch of the
service.
The Adjutant General of the Army
has notified the recruiting office to
enlist men for the Quartermaster De-
partment. to form Supply Companies.
There are eight to be formed for the

Want EXEMPTION
CLAIMS proven
Those Seeking To Escape Service
On Occupational Grounds Must \
Satisfy District Board.

Whether an individual drawn for
military service will be of greater
value to the government in carrying
on the work in which he already is
engaged or as a soldier in the ranks
is the question to be answered by the
men claiming exemption according to
the statement of the District EXemp
tion Board, which is to base the con-
sideration of exemptions primarily on
industrial grounds. This was given
out Tuesday night.
Officers of the District Exemption
Board point out that the men claim
ing exemption must consider careful
ly their business positions and pro-
vide the board with information that
will permit them adequately to pass
upon the claim from the standpoint
of the value Of the man to the govern
ment.

LEVY COURTS INSPECT BRIDGES

The Levy Courts of Kent and Sus-
sex Counties accompanied by their
respective engineers, met in Milford
on Wednesday OF this week and made
a thorough inspection of the West
Front Street Bridge, and the Railroad
Avenue Bridge, both of which span
the Mispillion River in Milford. The
bridges are both in dangerous cOndi-
tiOn, but slight repairs had been made
to the covering of the Railroad Ave
nue. bridge the day before the inspec-
tiOn was made. The Levy Courts, af-
ter inspecting this, decided that this
bridge could wait until next year 4"
The inspection of the Front Street
bridge, however, apparently convinc-
ed them that something should be
done. 1t is said that they reached an
understanding to the effect that a new
bridge would be constructed there in
the near future. These bridges were
inspected about a year ago, and at
that time both bridges were to have
been rebuilt, but nothing came of the
matter. For several months past,
both bridges have been Stunned by
heavy traffic in Milford as much as
possible, because of their bad condi-
tiOn.

URGES DENTISTS ON
EXAMINING BOARDS
DR.. C. Layton Grier Points Out
Need OF Correcting Defective
Teeth-Reduce Reflections
For Army Service.

The dentist for every examining
board to remedy the defective teeth
responsible for the largest number OF
reflections for the new army, is urged
on General CrOwder in a telegram
from G. Layton Grier, president OF
The L. d. Caulk Company, of Milford,
and vice-president Of the American
Dental Trade Association.
Mr.. Grier in his telegram to Gener-
al Crowder says that he is confident
all dentists, dental infrmaries and
dental societies will gladly offer their
services to the government in this
work if they be given government re-
cognition by appointment to the vari-
GUS boards.
Mr.. Grier says that fully rs per
cent. of the men rejected for bad teeth
could be made Immediately acceptable
for service if a dentist sat on the ex-
amining board. He would be able to
judge whether the drafted mans
teeth could be made serviceable and
treatment could be started at once
and then carried on while the men
are in training camps.
The law requires a certain number
Of normal teeth" says Mr.. Grier in
his telegram to General CroWder.
This disregards the fact that, for
dental reasons, rejected men can with
very little time or expense be made
perfectly fit either before acceptance
Or while in training. Only a dental
Iy trained mind can with discretion
determine such cases as they arise
and hence this need on the board"

The governments need for men is
both vital and urgent. The Presi-
dents orders to the District Board
for the State of Delaware cover in
structions on conditions governing
the refusal or the granting Of exemp-
tiOns.
The President rules that the indi-
viduals drawn shall endeavor to set
tie their rights on questions covering
physical condition and dependency
grounds by presenting their full in
formation to the local boards in
charge of their particular sections.
Both the government and the individ-
ual have the right to appeal the deci-
sion on physical and dependency
grounds to the District Board
The individual also has the right
(after full action has been taken on
the physical and dependency ground)
to make direct claim to the District
Board for the State of Delaware on
new grounds; namely, those of an
OccupatiOnal nature. This claim for
exemption has to do with the ques-
ton: Can the individual be of greater
service by staying at home in his pres
ent work or by going into the army?
This question has to be settled by the
District Board for the State of Del
aware in every individual case and
based solely on the point of view of
national interest in aiding the opera
ton of the military forces.
