MEN WANTED IN FRANCE

Professor M. Van G. Smith, of Della
ware College, has received request
from the United States Engineer office
to forward the names of good men who
are willing to enlist in one of the nine
engineer regiments, to leave as soon as
thew are recruited for France. The
President of the United States has au-
thorized the enlistment of these regi-
ments for duty on the French railroads
behind the fighting lines. One Of these
regiments is to be raised from men re-
cruited in the vicinity of Philadelphia
and Lieut.. Herbert Deakyne Corps, OF
Engineers, U. S. Army, has been as
signed to duty as Colonel of the regi-
ment. The committee feels it is es-
pecially desirable that large number OF
men should have had some experience
in railroad work 1t is understood the
French are very short of the necessary
labor to keep the railroads in proper
condition. Among men called for are
blacksmiths, plumbers and pipe filters,
electricians, enginemen. firemen, ma
chinists, masons, expert axmen. horse
shoers, packers, teamsters, saddlers,
etc. Professor Smith will be glad t.
furnish details as to the pay of the vari
GUS grades of the regiment and othe
