oetall Tor the fomIort ana saving tne
life Of the signalman is looked after
closely. The Signal Corps Of the Unit
ed States Army have always enjoyed
the reputation of being the best fed
outfit, and the present war will once
more prove this fact.
The signal service offers a splendid
opportunity to not only serve the coun-
try but also while so serving to learn
a profession which in after life will
be extremely valuable. Signalmen are
taught electricity. including theory and
actual practice, telegraphy. telephony
and radio. The large electrical and
telegraph and telephone companies are
always on the lookout for men from the
United States Signal Corps and prefer
ence is always given them when apply
| ing for position.
| The Signal Service is the most in
teresting. fascinating and instructive Of
any branch and operations and work
I change, ,all the time and thus prevent
the drills from becoming tiresome and
monotonous The pay is higher and
! there are more non commissioned off,
GERS than some other branches of the
army, and any man who is qualified
can Immediately start his climb up
ward for a commission. By a recent
ruling of the Chief Signal Officer of the
Army no more commissions in the Sig
nal Corps will be given to civilians. All
future signal officers will be commits
stoned from the enlisted men Of the
corps. Any man who is qualified can
secure a commission after serving an
enlisted apprenticeship in the corps"
College Men in Corps.
Major Russell has recruited III men
in all for the signal service. In one
/ battalion there are SO men from Dart
mouth college, SO from Harvard and 45
from Yale
! Major Russell will be at the Elmwood
at Waterville Saturday and will be at
the Blaine House at Augusta on Sun
| day for the accommodation Of those
who wish some information about the
service.

Good Chance. for Good Men
In the Maine Signal Corps

Major c. E. Russell. Signal Corps, U.
S. A. in his campaign for recruits in
this state to join the signal branch of
the service, has arranged with the sew
eral chairmen Of county organizations
of the Maine Committee on Public
Safety to hold meetings to create an
interest in the movement and to have
recruiting parties cover each county
and meet at some central place in that
county by automobile. He expects to
get 100 recruits from the State of
Maine for this branch of the service.
Appeal for Recruits.
The Maine Committee on Public
Safety has sent out the following ap-
peal for recruits for the signal branch
Of the service:
Orders have been issued by the
Chief Signal Officer Of the Army in
Washington to Immediately recruit to
war strength the 18th field battalion of
the Signal Corps Reserve. Already
over so men of the 239 necessary have
been enlisted and recruiting is pro-
crossing at such a rapid rate that this
battalion will soon be recruited up to
its maximum strength. When the war
department was proportioning the
quota it was decided that New England
should supply two field and one tele-
graph battalions of Signal Corps troops
Already one full field and one telegraph
battalion have organized and are now
awaiting orders for active service.
+ 1T is the 0piniOn IF signal officers
that when this last field battalion is
completed the doors will be closed.
The signalmen has at last come into
his own. This war has proven to the
officials that the signalman must be
| taken care Of. It is possible to train
men for other branches of the service
in few months but the signaller re-
quires six to eight months training.
Therefore, the sgnalman is given
the best Of care, extra dry quarters
with few to a section-best of rations
and medical attention, and in fact every
