ARMY TO SEEK RECRUITS
Specialized Services Need Thousands
of Technically Trained Men.

VI eCTHiSIiiy IVdinSu WcH.
| Washington, Nov. 1O-A drive was
started by the war department yestel
day. to recruit 12S,12O civilians FOL
service in specialized branches Of the
Irregular army. Particular attention
will be given to securing 100000
technically trained civilians for the
signal corps, the quartermasters
corps, the engineers corps and the
| medical corps in addition, 10000 men
are needed for the line of the army
| the infantry, coast artillery and field
artillery, Adjutant-Gen Henry p. Nc
Cain is hopeful that the drive will be
success. That his division, with the
the assistance of the council OF ma
tional defense and affiliated branches
OF that organization in every state,
county, city and town, will find all Of
the men needed before 1918
Recruiting has progressed wonder
fully we'll in the past two months
when little has been done to stimu-
late it, The original drive for 1888
men to recruit the army to war
strength has been forging ahead un-
der its own momentum While the
quota actually needed early in the
war was obtained months ago, the re-
cruiting has persisted An average OF
500 men is being accepted every day.
As a result, 241,S9l men have been
recruited in the last seven months. In
other words, the number OF recruits
accepted since April last is approx
mately three times the strength Of
the regular army prior to our enter
ing the war. And this leaves out all
consideration of the National Guard
and the National army.
Every applicant will be designated
for particular branch of the service
The aviation section of the signal
corps needs 60,2S5 men at once. An
exceptionally hard drive will be made
to fill this branch of the service, as it
is hoped to recruit sufficient num-
Der of men to make it unnecessary
to divert large number OF drafted
men from the National army. Thous-
ands OF men are now training to be
aviators, but their number must be
multiplied if America is to dominate
the air, as has been planned
The quartermasters corps needs
22,SS5 men, They will be distributed
to the ice plant units, supply conpan-
les, mechanical repair shop units,
machine shop truck units and miscel-
laneous duties like cooks, bakers,
chauffeurs and clerk Camouflage
and gas and flame battalions. and rail-
road and road constructions units I'M
der the direction of the engineer
corps need 1880 men. The medical
corps can use 5000 more men. BY a
little hard work it is believed all of
these thousands of men can be re-
tcruited They will serve as privates
at first, but there will be many chanc-
les for promotion. ifH.sR ia,e

Use Soothing Musterole

When those sharp pains go shooting
through your head, when your skull
seems as if it would split, just rub a
little Musterole on your temples and
neck. 1t draws out the inflammation,
soothes away the pain, usually giving
quick relief.
Musterole is a clean, white ointment,
made with oil of mustard. Better than a
mustard plaster and does not blister.
Many doctors and nurses frankly rec
